J2, coming home from war/reunion

Thank you for taking prompts!

True Blue Part 1: J2

[morrezela]

Jensen is a true blue, one hundred percent, all American, Texan patriot. He’s spent his life dedicated to the cause of freedom. The first Fourth of July parade his daddy took him to, his eyes had gotten wide at the sight of all the fireworks and even wider when his dad told him all about the brave men that had fought for his country’s freedom

True Blue Part 2: J2

[morrezela]

War was… it was something else. There seemed to be some unending pool of young punks who forgot that there were still people at the other end of his scope. Jensen saw good men crumble with the hopelessness. Men that were unable to see that for every asshole who dared to sully the uniform he was wearing, there were ten more who were honest kids. There were men and women that were out there doing the right thing

True Blue Part 3: J2

[morrezela]

The first people that Jensen sees as he deboards the plane are his family. His brother and sister and mother and father and his nieces and nephews are all clustered in with the family members of the other soldiers who are returning. There are poster board signs and balloons and streamers and even face paint on the little ones. Tears and smiles and none of it, heartwarming as it is, is what Jensen is looking for

I absolutely loved this!!!

I just imagined that famous picture of a soldier kissing a woman (nurse?) after WWI or WWII...I bet the guys pic would be just as famous!

You know, when I was writing that, I did have the thought that with the way news travels now, there'd be no way that a picture like that wouldn't go viral.

But I wanted the big, dramatic, kissing reunion, so I went with it.

I'm glad tht you liked it!

I love this. It's so sweet and a little bit sad, but awesome. This Jared and Jensen would make an awesome verse! or at least a little sequel? *bounces hopefully*

I'm glad you liked it. This one was a bit different for me because of the subject matter not being a fantasy or a straight up romance.

I'd like to play with the guys, though it'd probably only ever be timestampish in nature.

I imagine that Jared has somethign to say about pining for the straight military man and both of them have to deal with Jared's new in-laws finding out the way that they did.

You ever have that thing happen where you read a fic and when it's over you wish for more?
I wish this fic was a million miles long even if it IS perfect just the way it is. Nice work!
Now i am going to go read it again.

Re: True Blue Part 3: J2

[morrezela]

I can relate for sure. I've read stories before where they were perfect how they were, but so good that I wanted more.

I'm flattered that you feel that way about this piece.

I have tears in my eyes. That was heart-meltingly beautiful. <3

Re: True Blue Part 3: J2

[morrezela]

Thank you! I have a fondness for the way that this one turned out. I think it was the character that Jensen was in it.
