★ You're a real fucking page-turner by

standing_fic
jared's days pretty much all run together, one big muddy mess of emotional turmoil and confusion and shitty friends and shittier classes. not to mention that his best friend is equal parts awesome and a complete jerk, his little sister is also kind of a jerk, and he thinks privately that someday his books are going to be the only thing to stand by him in the end. luckily, life has a way of turning things around on him.
Idk how to describe this fic besides effin' EPIC.
★ The Mint Chocolate Chip Shake Guy by

★ How to Get a Guy by

transfixeddream
Jensen Ackles is successful and great at his job, but when it comes to his dating life he's a disaster. When he meets his new neighbour, Jensen thinks he has found Mr. Right. He enlists the help of offensive dating guru and host of the OUTtv hit show "How To Get A Guy", Jared Padalecki, to help him win the guy over. {Loosely based on the film "The Ugly Truth"}

★ Attention, Wal-Mart Shoppers by

Oh oblivious!boys.
★ If you had known how that would sound to me (you would have taken it back) by

beckaandzac

the_milky_way

Reading the original fic isn't necessary, but you should ANYWAY. God, I love these boys so damn MUCH.
★ Sneaking Out by

raeschae
When Jared transfers to a new school for his senior year, he expects to be as invisible as he's always been. It doesn't take long for him to realize that being noticed isn't the worst thing in the world, especially when Jensen is the one paying attention. (prompt: Jared is a lonely geek, Jensen is a "bad boy." Jared pines, tries to be "bad" too.)
HS!AU that seems so REAL and is absolutely perfect in it's portrayal of teenage boys

Jensen gives Jared candy for Christmas. Jared gives him half a house.
So sweet and adorable and perfect for those cold days (not many more here, I know)
★ The Puzzle (That is Me) by

felisblanco
As they start filming and working together, Jared realizes Danneel’s prediction was right. He and Jensen do hit it off. Sure Jensen is quirky and sometimes (okay, a lot of times) uncomfortably direct to the point of being rude. But once Jared figures out Jensen isn’t actually mean as much as he’s just a little clueless (and mostly unconcerned) about the rules of social interactions, it stops bothering him.
Okay, so, I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but you should give this a chance anyway. This writer is AMAZING and while obv. they're not the expert on Aspergers, they do cut it pretty close IMO. Beautifully written and lovingly told
★ Never Looked the Same by

osmalic
In which Jensen is a writer. He had a crush on Jared Padalecki when he was Jared's TA. Jared Padalecki is a Hollywood actor. He doesn't remember Jensen. That's okay, Jensen doesn't have a crush on him anymore and he can lie like a pro. He writes fiction, for god's sakes! This is gonna be easy.
I adored both boys in this and the complexity of who they were and how she wrote 'the one that got away but then came back' perfectly
★ Communication (Is the Secret to Relationships) by

akintay
When Jared asks Jensen to spend Christmas together, Jensen is a little too distracted by hands and lips and Jared to really listen.
An adorable little fic about how sometimes you really need to talk AND listen ;)
★ You'' be the rhythm and I'll be the beat by

gypsy_sunday
Jensen's not-so-secret crush unexpectedly shows up to see his band. The night just gets better from there.
Reading this was like reading this epic poem. She writes brilliantly and it was college!au with tattooed Jensen and dude, IDEK how to explain how awesome this was.
★ Fall Back To The Arms Of Grace by

cirramin
When lies get caught up in pursuit of good intentions, we can only stretch so far.
The feel of this fic was amazing, with everything slowly being revealed - like the ice cream after being covered entirely with syrup. Or some better simile.
★ That Dream To Be Seen by

lazy_daze
J2 roadtrip
I loved the glimpses of the boys growing up and the road trip always being there, in their thoughts.
★ Suit Me Just Fine by

strangeallure
Jared likes selling food. Jensen likes eating. Clearly, it's destiny.
Delicious, in more ways than one!!
★ Dial It In by

kelleigh
Dial it in: to make small adjustments until you have the perfect shot. Tonight, on TOP SHOT, revenge is the name of the game. Old challenges come back to haunt our final five marksmen as they compete in a new kind of obstacle course. With everyone's sights set on the 100,000 dollar prize, friendships and alliances in the house will be tested, and a pair of rivals will meet in our elimination challenge to see which one will continue on their quest to be our TOP SHOT.
I've never actually seen TOP SHOT, but man boys with guns? What's not to love.
★ The Mysterious Incident of the Princesses in the Night-time by

scintilla10
In which Jensen is a penniless soldier who is sent on a quest to lift a terrible curse that afflicts twelve beautiful princesses. It's an unfortunate quirk of fate that Jensen is not interested in princesses. A fairy tale of courtiers, curses, and crossroads.
I love the original fairy tale and to see it with a J2 twist made me all sorts of happy!
★ To Kiss the Sweet Rose by

cherie_morte
College AU: Jensen’s been in love with Jared almost as long as they’ve been friends, but he’s given up all hope that Jared will ever feel the same. So when someone Jared could fall in love with approaches him for advice on how to win Jared over, Jensen finds himself in over his head. (J2 retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand)
Oh god, this is idiot boys being idiots to the MAX. But you can't help but love these adorkable boys anyway. Lots of love for this fic
