Jared/Jensen:
♥ A Purrrrfect Match by

peppervl
Jensen's temporary job as a customer service representative for an internet cat toy company definitely has downsides. But then there's Jared, the regular customer who makes Jensen laugh and might just this whole ordeal worthwhile.
This was such a fun read! It was adorable and humorous, 2 things that make fic awesome.
♥ Taking a Mental Picture of You Now by

kelleigh
In a week, Jared and Jensen will be forced to survive a short-to-middle distance relationship. Jared keeps getting lost in nostalgia, but Jensen's pretty sure he can think of better ways to spend their last nights together.
Oh the dirty talk!
♥ Boys in Stripper Heels by

shinywhimsy
Jared and Jensen are friends, best friends, and Jared knows he's not supposed to feel like this but he can't help it. Jensen doesn't make it the least bit easy.
So freakin' hot. Made me step outside my fic box for a bit, but worth it.
♥ Some Things Stay The Same by

peggy_lane
It just feels like more bad luck when Jared's car breaks down in the middle of a thunderstorm. But when the Good Samaritan who brings him in from the rain turns out to be Jensen, his best friend from childhood, things start to look up. For Jensen, seeing Jared again after so many years could be the best chance he's had yet to get everything he's ever wanted.
I love second time around fics, they're one of my favorite things ever. And this author knows just the small details that make it perfect.
♥ Three times Jared and Jensen helped each other to dress by

elless18
AU. Just what the title says. Three ficlets in all.
Adorable, that's the only word I have for this!
♥ One Small Step by

sandymg
ared has had a secret crush for months. But it’s not like publishing genius and gay activist Jensen Ackles is going to notice the tall, weird guy pushing the mail cart. So when Jared’s best friend and Jensen’s assistant, Sandy, tells him that Jensen is getting married in one month to a fellow activist -- something about being the first gay couple to get married in the state -- Jared knows some things just aren't meant to be. And now Sandy is insisting that Jared help her plan the wedding. She thinks it’s a good idea. Jared thinks she’s nuts. Because the only thing this could lead to is heartbreak. Right?
I know, it sounds very controversial and stuff from the summary, but I promise you it's worth it. She really did her research and she doesn't presume she knows everything. A very interesting read that was highly enjoyable.
♥ When Everything Changes (We Stay The Same) by

icelily01
Alone at last, Jared and Jensen make use of their new dorm room.
I love banter, I really do, and this had tons of light teasing that made me adore this fic. Plus, you know, the sex ;)
♥ Turn Up the Bright Lights by

elless18
AU. Emotionally and physically hurt after an accident that killed his best friend, Jensen is confined to his house. He finds unexpected solace in Jared, the man delivery his groceries. But Jensen may be too scarred by what happened to ever let things progress with Jared.
Doesn't the summary itself make you want to read? It's different and lovely.
♥ Player Number Two by

dugindeep
Jensen is a waiter in a 24-hour diner and Halloween brings out the freaks.
HAHHA this is even more funny by the fact that Jared DID dress up as Luigi. But whatever, cute Halloween story :)
♥ Saved You Some by

enchanted_jae
Jensen's chocolates may be gone, but Jared saved some for him.
This is made all the better because Jae doesn't usually write J2, but she did for me. Wonderful <3
♥ Song and Dance by

riyku
In which Jared has an unusual job, and Jensen is his somewhat befuddled and rather besotted roommate.
SO CUTE. Hilarious, funny, and scorching! An excellent combination.
♥ Looking for something dumb to do by

lazy_daze
In which Jensen runs a gay wedding business and Jared is his florist.
Oh. My heart melted because of this fic.
♥ Home Is Where the Hurt Is by

tebtosca
Librarian Jensen Ackles has been secretly in love with cattle rancher Jared Padalecki since high school, but Jared's been pining after the Big Oil socialite that got away. When said socialite returns to their small town newly single, Jared decides to finally woo her by having Jensen teach him how to be a proper gentleman. Jensen never could say no to those stupid dimples.
Um you put Jensen in glasses and Jared in a cowboy hat and I'm automatically in love!
♥ It's What The Headlines Read by

wutendeskind
Jensen is beyond reproach, Jared roughs the passer, and Mel Kiper is the world's biggest shit head.
Okay so some of it went over my head bc I'm not really a football fan, haha, but the emotion was all there and it was lovely.
♥ When You Say Nothing At All by

poor_choices
Timestamp for And Good Riddance. Jared and Jensen aren't good at first dates.
Schmooptastic and perfect
♥ An Unexpected Talent by

goddamnbatman
“The Shadow.” Jared’s putting it together now. Hell, he would’ve sooner, but a fainting, poison drenched classmate turned superhero makes for a compelling distraction. Add in the nudity and it’s a wonder Jared can think at all. “I read about you, ‘the latest in a spree of costumed vigilantes bent on restoring order to the city.’ You took down that cartel at the docks last weekend,” he says, breath hitching to feel Jensen’s fingers at the buttons of his jeans. They’re soaked and unwieldy, but Jensen gets them over Jared’s hips like they were little more than wet tissue. “You’re insane.”
I loooove superhero!AU's and this fic is one of the reasons why.
♥ With a Talent Like Yours by

cleflink
Jensen figured that traveling with a wizard would be a lot easier if the man's damn familiar didn't hate him.
Oh this was just all kinds of awesome
♥ It Begins in the Blood by

kelleigh
To protect his parents, Jared makes a deal that goes against everything he believes in. Despite his fear, Jared intends to keep his end of the bargain, no matter what gets in his way. But when a man Jared hasn’t seen in three years shows up just in time to prevent Jared from losing everything he is, Jared begins to wonder what kind of deal is worse –one with a known enemy, or one with Jensen Ackles.
Interesting, filled with all kinds of sexual tension, and brilliantly hot
♥ Prism by

peppervl
It's supposed to be a vacation; time away from the demands of work, for Jensen to relax the mental shields he maintains to keep himself from hearing other people's thoughts, and for Jared to get away from the constant barrage of other people's feelings. Instead, it's a disaster. A camping trip leaves Jared and Jensen trapped together out in the woods, and forces them to learn to cope when everything they thought they knew changes. As their hearts bleed into each other and their souls become further entwined, they begin to see the world in a new light, one that could blind them with its glare or refract perfectly to give them more than they ever imagined.
This was a very interesting and different fic. I've always enjoyed bonding fics, and this is a prime example of why.
♥ Deception Bay by

zuben_eschamali
While trying to enjoy his honeymoon-turned-solo-vacation, Jensen's party for one is literally crashed by a handsome, mysterious stranger who saves his life. Before he knows it, he's thrown into a world of danger…and passion like he's never dreamed.
This read like an adventure story, you just wanted more!
♥ Making Opportunities by

raeschae
LA event planner Jared doesn't take many trips back to his small, Midwestern hometown these days, but when his first crush, Jensen, is in need of his services, Jared can't resist the urge to drop everything and drive half way across the country. Now he has one week to raise thousands of dollars, save a youth center, and show Jensen exactly what he missed out on all those years ago.
I really enjoy every tale Rae weaves with her magic words
♥ Whiskey River, You're All I've Got by

akintay
Jensen's life revolves around The Whiskey Sour, the bar he inherited from his grandfather nine years ago. But with too few customers and not nearly enough profit, things are taking a turn for the worse. And then Jared Padalecki walks into Jensen's life and changes everything.
Oh this was such a rich read. Brilliant.
♥ Show Me How You Do That Trick by

deirdre_c
high school AU, spies AU, or knotting fic. I figured, hey, why not write all three?
Oh man, this was an epically fun read. With that summary, how can it not be?
♥ It's so easy loving you (There's nothing else I wanna do) by

the_milky_way
Jensen looks up then and stares. Open mouthed and all that. He must look quite idiotic, sitting on the stairs with a kitten hanging from his little finger, mouth open and eyes wide. Because, holy hell, is that really Jared Padalecki standing there?
Hee just from that summary, I was in love.
♥ A Few Minor Adjustments by

__tiana__
non-AU. Jensen is the king of clueless, and Jared is impatient for him to get one. Danni helps.
Hahha this was hilarious and adorable
♥ You Don't Need Matches to Burn by

dephigravity
Jensen’s never been one for camping, and Jared’s a pro at roughing it.
Ngh if only all camping trips turned out this way!
♥ Candied Yams and Sticky Conversations by

viridescence
How to introduce your imaginary friend-turned muse-turned real boyfriend to your parents in three easy steps: 1: Introduce boyfriend. 2: Convince family he's real. 3: Convince family that the two of you share dreams? That should be a piece of cake. Or pie, pumpkin pie... Oh crap. This is going to be an interesting Thanksgiving.
If you haven't read the prequel to this, you need to, STAT. I loooooved the original and adored this too. Like I mentioned above, I love the idea of bonding in some way, and these boys did.
♥ hold you close (in a thankful heart) by

elless18
AU. Jared brings Jensen home to meet his family at Thanksgiving.
I love meet the parent fics so much! The awkwardness, the schmoozing, the charm, all of it.
♥ Sparks are Whirling Faster by

cherie_morte
College Knotting AU: As a senior in high school, Jared decides to sneak into a college party with his friends. He knows the laws and he knows the danger—he's heard of Omegas going into heat and losing control the first time they meet an Alpha. He goes anyway, convinced he's not an Omega because he doesn't fit the bill. It's not until the morning after that he realizes just how wrong he was. And now he can't get Jensen, the Alpha who rescued him, out of his head.
Ngh, this was filled with all kinds of epic win. From the knotting to the college au to the tension to the characterization. All of it.
♥ Raise the Stakes by

raeschae
As a professor, there are certain things that Jensen is not supposed to do. Jared, the kid in the back of his vampire sociology class, is one of them.
This was a very intriguing read from start to finish
♥ Species Interaction by

morrezela
Despite making themselves known to the world over a century ago, the seraph race was still shrouded in mystery. All Jensen Ackles had ever wanted was to get into one of their academies to learn about them and their care. All Jared Padalecki wanted was to find his mate.
I could NOT stop reading this once I had started. It took a while, but dear god, so worth it. This reminded me of veela!fic in H/D fandom which was one of my favorite things ever. So yeah, in love.
♥ What's Left of Me by

tmn1966
College degree, check. Career as physical therapist in a well-respected clinic, check. Appropriate boyfriend, check. Life was going exactly as Jensen Ackles had mapped it out when he was still in high school. The only thing Jared Padalecki knew for a fact was that you never could guess where life was going to take you. But you could go anywhere as long as you had family, friends, and love. When Jensen didn't get the expected promotion and his perfect boyfriend turned out to be not-so-perfect, for the first time Jensen finds himself without a plan to follow. Enter one free-spirited, too young, and ridiculously attractive college student who wants him to let life just happen... and it kind of works. Until a tragedy causes Jensen to run away from the love Jared offers, and Jared has to show him that life can be amazing even when it's not according to plan.
Make sure you read warnings first, just in case. This was an epic read, but it was filled with angst, pain, emotion, love, schmoop. It had a bit of everything.
♥ Sick Day by

insertcode11
Jared is afraid of going to the doctor and stubbornly waits too long. Jensen's there to save the day, though.
Awwww, this was adorable.
♥ Skyward by

sinestrated
AU. It’s fall, and Jensen and Jared are preparing to raise a family.
Hee, this was cute and different.

♥ The Making of Snow Angels by

mistyzeo
Jensen comes home for his first college winter break, and finds things more or less like he left them. With some exceptions. A hate!sex installment.
Further cements my love for that verse
♥ Don We Now Our Gay Apparel by

waterofthemoon
Jensen needs to take someone home for Christmas so his mom will quit bugging him. As for Jared? He's probably a masochist for agreeing to this.
Fake!boyfriends is always a good time!
♥ The Best Laid Plans of Jensen Ackles… by

dugindeep
They say the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray ... and it couldn't be truer of what Jensen and Danneel have planned for their life until Jared is suddenly a part of Jensen's.
This was all kinds of amazing. Had banter like woah, romance, Danneel, J2, adorable kids, it has it all.
♥ Beach 'Verse by

sandymg
The beach!verse tells the story of love's healing power over past hurts.
This 'verse is so raw and real and achy in all the best ways
♥ The Same Boy You've Always Known by

riyku
It's not all that much fun falling in love with your best friend, particularly when the guy can't seem to keep his hands to himself.
Oh clueless boys *shakes head* It's fun to see when they finally figure it out. (plus the art post by

sillie82!)

Other Fic:
♦ Jared/Jensen/Danneel: Some Things Are Hard To Take by

beckaandzac
Established poly relationship, PWP. Jensen gets something he's wanted for a long time, and he finds that practice pays off.
NGH. That pretty much sums it up.
♦ Gen: To Put Asunder by

mistyzeo
AU after the end of Season 3. Having failed to keep the hellhounds for coming from Dean, Sam turns to classic literature to find another way to bring his brother back. Sam’s descent into the land of Hades in pursuit of his brother’s soul is about as easy as the legends suggest: unidirectional. Still, Sam knows the track record of the souls allowed to return, and he’s determined to use Dean’s status as a hero to his advantage. But first he has to convince the sullen Summer Queen that they are worth something as a pair, and then he has to trust Dean to follow him home.
I loved the mythology incorporated int his. Perfect.
♦ Gen: Kitty Kitty, Bang Bang by

dugindeep
Sam and Dean hit Santa Barbara on the basis of missing persons reports, Plain Jane types who seemingly disappear without a trace. When they get too close to the problem, Dean falls victim to the same fate. There’s far too much research and not enough answers. But, the real question is which of them has it worse: Sam, who has to figure out the entire case on his own with no help from his brother and the inability to keep his cool. Or Dean, who now has four paws, three eyelids, and a batch of whiskers. They say curiosity killed the cat, but Sam and Dean aren’t going down without a fight.
HILARIOUS fic with lots of awesome moments. Dean as a cat, how could you miss that?
♦ Gen: doing something right by

lazy_daze
clothes sharing
I really liked this moment between the brothers
♦ Good Mileage by

kelleigh
With Chevrolet turning one hundred, Dean and Sam quietly celebrate the only real home they have.
Okay so there is a tinge of wincest in this, but still enjoyable overall :)
