Hey guys. I've been gone forever, I know. But, I want to get back into LJ ... beyond the newsletter, which I still check pretty religiously. But, notices that people are coming back to LJ are boring, so I decided to do a couple recs.



Title: Stretch Right Up And Touch The Sky (NC-17) (47,800 words)
Author: felisblanco
Pairing: Jensen/Jared, brief Jensen/Tom
Characters: Virgin!Jensen and Clumsy!Jared, with asshole!Tom (it’s a dirty job but someone has to do it), wimp!Mike (sorry), best friends Chris, Steve and Chad, clueless!Sandy, thinks-he’s-funny!Jeff and the Al-Qaeda little brothers Ben and Cody plus some rather exasperated parents and other minor characters.
Warnings: High school AU. Underage drinking and sexin’ (Jared is 15/16), smoking of some questionable substances and a whole lot of dirty talk. *g*

Summary: Jared’s life changed forever the day Jensen transferred to his school two years ago. It must have been destiny that brought them together because Jensen was without a doubt meant to be his forever soulmate and the love of his life. Too bad Jensen had no idea Jared even existed.

My Two Cents: I'm pretty much a whore for a good J2 High School Au, but this story had me laughing for hours. It was seriously cute and funny and hot and ... just awesome. It's so nice to find a long story that's really good. And did I mention funny? I had to literally get up and run away from my computer a few times, just because she continually humiliated her characters in that, "Oh my god! He did not just say that! Jared, good god, man. Think before you speak!!!!!" way. Anyway, everyone should read it. I loved it.

Title: As Long As You Smile (NC-17) (19,005 Words)
Author: loony_moony
Pairing: Jared/Jensen, semi-Tom/Mike

Summary: Jensen would not wear bananas on his head, so Jared makes him a gay beauty queen.

My Two Cents: A delightful little crack adaptation of Miss Congeniality that made me laugh. There are two of these out there, but in this one Jensen is entered into a GAY beauty pageant. With Chad, and Mike and Tom and yes, even Chris, there to be other contestants. It was seriously campy, and witty and just wrong, but in a really awesome way.

And just because I'm evil, I'll give you an excerpt.

"Leather seems to be the current uniform in the pageant. Mike is onstage at the moment, performing a frankly nightmare-inducing rendition of “I’m Too Sexy”, which includes, but is not limited to, constantly rubbing his shiny, oiled, bald head. Tom is standing right next to him, waiting to do his Laker Boys routine, wearing leather hotpants, and Christian behind him is dressed like Elvis on acid. You know, more than usual."

How could you not read that?

In other news, I'm about 3k into a possibly lengthy J2 AU. I hope to be done with it in under a week, but it'll depend how long the damn thing turns out to be. If anyone is bored and/or a masochist, I could use a beta. For ideas and feedback and ... handholding.

Not that I expect anyone to volunteer for that job, but let me know if you're interested. I can bribe with cookies or my eternal gratitude, or cookies.

(Basic Rundown: Jensen is an author who published his first book through Padalecki Publishing, run by Jerry Padalecki. Jared is sent down to convince Jensen to a.) not leave them for a bigger publishing house, because his first book is a breakout hit, and b.) stop being a whiny little bitch and go on Oprah.)
