Day 17: proud moment & recs!

[enablelove]

Fasting takes so much out of me. I'M A BUM.



My proudest moment? When I found out my students passed the State test. I did something right!! Seeing grades improve as I work one on one. Hearing a parent say the kid loves having me as a teacher. Getting a text from a coworker/parent that her kid misses me. A parent revealing she really appreciates everything I do. It helps in the darkness of the days where you feel like you can't do anything right.


Jared/Jensen Fic:
+ Elope With Me, Miss Private by poor_choices
Jared's mostly really happy to start online school with his internet BFF. Mostly.
Such an adorable fic!
+ Cruel Winds by morrezela
Jensen was the sole heir of a wealthy kingdom, cursed to become sterile except in winter when he becomes fertile for bearing. Every year men vied for the right to breed him and become royal consort, but none of the victors have ever impregnated him. As he grew older, he and his country grew more desperate. Jared was the chieftain of a reviled tribe that was on the brink of starvation. Their homeland was lost to them long ago. They have no meat on their bones and even less in their stores to help them through the winter. Jared goes to beg pity from Jensen's kingdom, only to end up in the yearly competition for the chance to impregnate the king.
I actually didn't think I'd like it as much as I would, but it was written in such an engaging way that I was hooked!
+ Five Times (After) by neros_violin
Five times Jared sees Jensen, after.
Neros is one of my favorite authors ALWAYS. She writes fic in such an intriguing way that you're hooked, and this was no different. My heart ached, but she fixed it magnificently.
+ And They Call It Puppy Love by dugindeep
Taking care of two adult dogs in their tiny apartment, Jared and Jensen just barely get by. Things get a little ~ruff when they find out they're going to be grandpappies. (But Jensen will never acknowledge that name)
An adorable fic about love conquering ALL :D haha I LOVE the way this author takes a cute little prompt and makes it epic. She's got mad skillz!
And the Winner is… by cherie_morte
It's the night of the Oscars, and Jensen and Jay are both winners.
This is a sequel to her drag queen!Jared 'verse and I'm still hooked into this story. fslkjfd I don't have enough words for Cherie as an author and how she can take any subject matter and make it BRILLIANT.
+ Ever Ever After by transfixeddream
AU. Life is sweet for Manhattan divorce lawyer Jensen Ackles, at least until his (sort of) boyfriend dumps him and he wakes up in a strange land. Stranded in this world with no way of getting home, Jensen has no choice but to join a lovestruck prince on his quest to rescue a princess from a tower. Along the way they encounter ogres, magic, and possibly the most treacherous thing of all: love.
This was such a fun read that you don't want to stop. Jared's character here was lovely and we all want one of him in our life!
