Beautiful J2 AU, just gorgeous. Hurty-pretty.
To Wake A Captive Dreamer by sophie_448 - J2 band AU. Slash (duh!), first time, romance. Author's Summary: Once upon a time (ten years ago to be precise) something terrible happened to Jensen. He’s been dealing with it, or failing to deal with it, ever since. His best friend, Chris, takes care of him and Steve takes care of Chris. They’re one precariously balanced little family who also happen to play in a band together. When Jared becomes their new bassist, everything changes. An unorthodox retelling of Sleeping Beauty.
God this is a beautiful romance. It's hurty, and poignant, and angsty, but also hopeful, full of heart, and GUH! It's just so pretty. The author introduces the story with a retelling of a well-known fairy tale, and it's just so fitting, and hooks you right away. The characters are compelling, lovely, and written with true depth. And yes there is some porn in there (of the highly emotional, raw and vulnerable variety - my favourite!) so there really is something for everybody! :D Truly lovely fic. Can't recommend it enough. ♥
