Masterpost: With Abandon or Not At All
Fandom: J2
Parings: Jared/Jensen, very brief Jared/Misha
Rating: NC-17 -- Wordcount: 24,150
Warnings: chef!AU, angst, schmoop, barebacking, punk!Jared, serious!Jensen, horrible!Danneel
Written for the 2011 spn_j2_bigbang
Summary: Jensen's life was complicated enough when his biggest worry was what crazy color his best friend/roommate/ex-boyfriend/co-executive chef, Jared, was going to dye his hair this week. Then his dreams came true and, somehow, his life started falling apart. Now he's got an insane client to please, a career-making meal to cook, a hodge-podge kitchen staff to corral, embarrassing, half-naked pictures plastered all over the internet and maybe, somewhere in there, a love of his life to win back.

Thanks! There are so many people to thank for the mere existence of this fic - I never could have done it alone. Thanks, first and foremost, to voxmyriad for making my visions of Jared’s crazy hair and his Super Mario tattoo come to life - such a fantastic job honey! You can check out her art post and tell her how awesome she is here!
Of course, the fabulous art isn’t the only thing that made this fic come together. For that I also owe huge debts to candygramme and gedry for the amazing beta as well as my many flist cheerleaders who urged me on (especially abeautifullie3 , whom I have been teasing with the plot bunny for this fic for far, far too long). Finally, of course, I want to thank the spn_j2_bigbang mods for all of their hard work to create this event and for giving me a reason to get off my butt and finish this!
Author’s Notes: I took a number of liberties with reality in this fic, not the least of which is the fact that the New York Food and Wine Festival takes place in the fall. Anyone who lives in NYC will also note the wild improbability of these guys being able to afford a space like this, particularly at their ages, and anyone who works in the culinary industry will probably notice who knows how many inaccuracies. This is a story about Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles imagining that they grew up together and became chefs; if you were looking for scrupulous adherence to reality, you came to the wrong place. All of the t-shirts mentioned here are shamelessly stolen from Busted Tees.
That's it y'all! I popped my Big Bang cherry!
