Author: __tiana__
Artist: faith_mars
Characters: Jared/Jensen, Katie
Rating: R for language, sexual situations
Length: 24,500 words
Disclaimer: This is purely an act of fiction and no harm is meant.
Summary: Jared Padalecki is used to having all the answers. With an IQ over 170 and a near photographic memory, applying to compete in the Jeopardy College Tournament is a no-brainer. When he finds out his high school Quiz Bowl nemesis and epic crush, Jensen Ackles, is trying out, too, Jared is torn between anger and excitement.
Unexpected sparks fly when they meet again, but it's not long before Jared realizes Jensen is one puzzle he can't quite figure out. Instead of all the answers, he's got nothing but questions.

Notes:
I was so lucky to work with faith_mars this year! This is our second collaboration as author and artist for Big Bang, and it was just as amazing as the first. She was so patient and created some wonderful pieces that really captured the boys in this particular world. I am so grateful to have benefited from her good spirit and great talent! (And her willingness to work to a really tight deadline!)
My absolute superstar of a beta, deirdre_c, worked under a crazy time constraint and still made so many astute suggestions and observations about the fic. I owe her so much for the things she did to make this fic better. Any remaining mistakes are 100% my own.
Thank you to my entire f-list for helping me through the process of this fic, especially ames1010 for suggesting a College Jeopardy AU! She graciously gave me the idea and I ran with it.
Thank you to the always awesome and supportive lostt1 for stepping up in the last hours to make the PDF file and for just generally being her normal amazing self.
And I owe a huge debt to all the ladies on the Big Bang email loop lazy_daze organized. No way would this fic even exist without their support!
And last, but never least, thank you to the rockstars who moderate spn_j2_bigbang: wendy and thehighwaywoman. I don't know how you do it, but I'm so glad you do. ♥
