YES. THAT'S RIGHT. I'm posting a story. Try not to faint the from the shock of it all. I don't have any smelling salts.

A Fork in the Road. Jared's known Jensen since he was born. Jensen's his best friend. It's not uncomplicated.; 3500 words; R; AU.

Thank you to destina and glendaglamazon for making this story not embarrassing. I was feeling VERY rusty, and you ( Read more... )

Hah. And of course, I left my computer IMMEDIATELY. Thanks for letting me know!

I love this. I love it. Hahahaha, oh man, I've missed your writing so much!! Um. There was so much feeling here, you know? Like, I could see this thing between the two of them growing, the expanding, shimmering little bubble of it; you did that beautifully! You did a great job of showing what their friendship might have been as kids. You wrote them really believably when they're young; the way Jared hero-worships Jensen, the tension that would definitely occur with Jensen being so much older. I adored that scene where Jensen disavows Jared in front of his brother and the lack of apology there ( ... )

Okay, seriously, I sort of flipped out when I saw I had to remix one of your stories, because I you're sort of one of my favorites, and I felt all this pressure, but I'm so pleased you liked this. Roads Well Traveled has always stuck with me. I reread at least once every two months, and it always leaves me feeling breathless and hesitant and filled with something lovely. It feels so real and honest. Anyway, thank you for writing that story, and for leaving me such lovely feedback!

This made my STOMACH HURT, it was so good.

“You don’t feel guilty?”

Jensen’s arms brushes against Jared as he shrugs. “Maybe. A little.” He’s quiet. “It’s worth it.”

I think that was my favorite moment. WHY ARE YOU SO SO SO GOOD.

Off to re-read Kim's now, but seriously, that was amazing! When I'm rich and powerful I'm going to hire you to write my life story, okay? You are just so amazing with words. SO AMAZING IT HURTS MY STOMACH.

CAM, you are probably too good to me. FOR REAL. ♥ ♥ ♥

So, I'd somehow NEVER READ Kim's story!!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I'm so glad you chose that one, for two reasons - one, I never would have found that otherwise (TRAGEDY) and two, having read this first made that one an even RICHER reading experience. Thank youuu!

I loved this.

Yay!

Oh man, my heart breaks for Jared. So close, and yet so far. You know? *clutches heart*

Ha! Wendy, I wanted to tell you when I left you that reply, that this wouldn't have a terribly happy ending, and that you might disapprove. Go read Indysaur's! It has a happy ending!
