- J2 in 2015 by fiercelynormal
I like to relive these moments over and over! Hopefully it gets done for 2016 ;)
- Any of the vids by textandtea at lightningmix
- Harry/Draco Art: I want to be the first thing you touch in the morning by primea
The New And Improved Morning Routine ™, Harry calls it, ever since that one time Draco agreed to stay the night.
JFC This is gorgeous.

♥ the Gentle Descent Into Ruination by hybridshade
Cleaning up the streets is a tough gig, but Detective Jared Padalecki has always had a strict moral code to fall back on, to help him make the tough decisions. Jensen is his criminal informant, and has proven time and again to be Jared's one exception to the rule.
This was such a delectable fic. Sexy and intense!
♥ ove or death, grab an end, pull hard, and make a wish by riyku
Rookie mistake number one: the sheriff should have put the handcuffs on a notch tighter. (Or, how I spent my summer vacation, by Jensen Ackles, serial killer.)
Gritty and feral and miles away from my usual fic I love, but DAMN R has a way of drawing you in no matter what.
♥ Sing the Praises by viviansface
Long story short, being in a long distance relationship sucks (not that that’s surprising, Jensen realized it really, really would approximately ten hours after Jared left for college hundreds of miles away).
Fantastic - so much conveyed without losing any of the sexiness.

+ Harry/Draco: The Darklist by dysonrules
When Draco Malfoy, wanted criminal, strolled into the Ministry to give himself up, he seemed destined for Azkaban, until he offered to hand over information to avert an upcoming crime. Of course, he refused to divulge that knowledge to anyone but Harry Potter.
The BANTER and WIT in this? Astounding.
- Jared/Jensen: I Can Be Your Right of Way by dugindeep
Jared's stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a backpack and two feet that keep him walking down an empty highway. Until a stranger pulls up and offers him a ride.
Man, sexy as all get out!
= Art Sketches by quickreaver
Oh such LOVELY sketches <3 <3 <3

Jared/Jensen:
+ We Were the Wild Ones (the Ones They Couldn't Control) by akintay
Jensen is not jealous. Nor does he care that Jared hasn't proposed to him yet.
With a summary like that, how can you NOT read? (part of her thieves!verse)
+ While You Are Here by tebtosca
Jensen comes home to find Jared a little tied up
Ngh, so sexy.
+ frost bite by bertee
In which Jensen is a vampire who just really loves Christmas.
Bertee is ALWAYS such a brilliant writer, weaving a sexy, gorgeous, and lovely tale of the boys.
+ fire 'verse by ashtraythief
Jared is the Alpha’s son and everyone is waiting for his first heat. All the alphas want to mate with the beautiful beta of the Padalecki pack but they have to enter the competition to fight for the right to claim him. Jared only wants Jensen, but the most feared alpha in all of Texas has never shown any interest in him, no matter how hard he flirted with him.
Oh MAN, this was such an awesome ride. Idk if it's done yet, but SO wonderful.
+ Like the Sweet Song of a Choir by tmn1966
Jared goes to a male strip club with a bunch of his girl friends and one of the dancers (Jensen) turns out to be his mystery man from the beginning of the year who breezed by him one day on the quad never to be seen again until now. Jared wants to kill Danneel (or Genevieve) when she buys him a lapdance with him. Until he doesn't. Jensen wants to see Jared after his shift. And if you would rather have Jared be the stripper that totally works as well.
SO SEXY and awesome.
+ Almost an Office Romance by beckaandzac
Jared and Jensen have already shot a scene together, but fucking on camera is a little different from dating.
Who doesn't love pornstar AUs?
+ The Theory of Virginity by __tiana__
The money had made Jared's head spin, and he realized he did have a price. Or at least, his cherry did. And this Mr. Ackles was apparently willing to pay it.
Ngh, Ti obviously is a fave of mine and this fic was BRILLIANT.
+ A Sensitive Subject by dugindeep
Jensen having a secret that is revealed once he and Jared hit the beach.
Mmm and what a wonderful secret it was
+ summer nights by bertee
In which Jensen is a hot lifeguard and Jared has a crush
Hee tropes ftw.

Art:
= Personal Space is Overrated by dephigravity
*pretends its J2* - lovely almost kissing art
= be mine by maichan
Derek/Stiles art that leaves me breathless and is the reason it's my header *grins*
= Ties that Bind by isinuyasha
When Draco Malfoy's name is in danger of vanishing from the Black Family Tree, Harry takes matters into his own hands.
slgkjsldkgjsdlkgj that's all.

Other Fic:
- Oreo Chips by the_rant_girl
Jared and Jensen play strip poker. Jared has his suspicions that Jensen and Danneel are up to no good and it bothers him slightly, until it doesn't.
:D that's all.
- A Piercing Comfort by talithan and onthecount
: When Harry Potter hits the lowest point of his life so far, it is not his friends who keep him honest. With Draco Malfoy's patience and guidance, Harry learns to stand on his own. The thing is, after the fact—he's no longer sure he wants to.
The fic and art in this were AMAZING.
- All Life Is Yours To Miss by saras_girl
Professor Malfoy's world is contained, controlled, and as solitary as he can make it, but when an act of petty revenge goes horribly awry, he and his trusty six-legged friend are thrown into Hogwarts life at the deep end and must learn to live, love and let go.
Once again, Sara leaves us all breathless.
- This Summer by saras_girl
this is a summery romantic comedy featuring my favourite ensemble cast, in which Harry is confused, Draco is Draco, and Hermione attempts to eat all the things.
Hahha this was adorable.

-> Pretty default ftw ♥

-> I seriously have the best flist ever. I'll answer all comments, but later, because I have tons to do at work today haha

-> I wrote the most ridiculously sappy fic. It was kinda inspired by beckaandzac's spooning fic and made me thing of boys cuddling. So this fic is 'spooning through the ages' which was the original title. Then I heard hellogoodbye's song Here in your arms and the title fit: i like where you sleep, when you sleep next to me It's very self-indulgent and makes me melt imagining it haha

-> Also. Older rec of the day: Secrets by Vorabiza. It's always been one of my favorite H/D stories and I'm almost done re-reading it. It's been a glorious experience to remember how talented H/D authors are and how much I did love those boys ♥
