Even underground, it’s hard to miss the faint sound of fireworks going off in the town nearby. Dean listens with one ear and a faint smile on his face, a beer held loosely between his fingers. They don’t have much of a celebration planned for themselves this year, but it’s still nice to know that other people are having fun.

Sam sits opposite him at the table, and his expression matches Dean’s. They’ve got some fond memories of the Fourth, and- hell. Memories are all they can focus on, when things get bad.

“You know,” Dean says absently, glancing from his brother up towards the door, “we could probably see ‘em if we head up onto the hill.”

The smile on Sam’s face says he likes that idea just fine, so the two of them pull their boots on and head out.

The sun has already set, and sure enough, when they get to the top of the little hill that hides the bunker from the world- yeah. Yeah, they’ve got one hell of a view of the fireworks going off a few miles away. Brilliant bursts of red, white, and blue, just like when they were kids.

The two of them sit down together, right there in the grass, each still holding their beer as they settle down. They don’t speak, content to just watch the show with their knees brushing together and the night sky overhead. It’s a good one, too; clear and full of stars. Perfect.

“Maybe we can do our own next year,” Sam says, absent. Dean looks towards him and watches the way the distant fireworks illuminate his features. “For old time’s sake.”

Dean shifts minutely until he’s properly resting against his brother’s side, lifting an arm to curl around Sam’s shoulders. Sam doesn’t fit there quite as well as he used to, but it still feels right. Like they’re always meant to be this way, no matter how much they grow or what they might go through.

“Yeah,” Dean says, and he’s smiling again. “I’d like that.”

They stay out until the fireworks are over, and then a little longer after that. Today has always held a special meaning for them, and Dean doesn’t see any sense in cutting it short.

Besides, it’s nice to just take a moment and breathe every now and again. He thinks they’ve earned it.

for @nothingidputbeforeyou, hope you can find something there Candi!

Say You’re Mine It takes his two best friends getting engaged to make Jared realize what’s missing in his own life, but once he figures it out, he’s a man on a mission: find true love or die trying. He’s not asking for much – just the perfect soul mate to spend blissful eternity with – so when a chance meeting drops Jensen into his life (and his lap), it seems like fate. But either Jensen missed that memo or fate seems to have other ideas because nothing works out the way Jared planned.

Echo Summertime in California and Jared’s life has just taken a turn for the better. He’s got a new job, a new apartment, and a whole new outlook on life. The bad news? He thinks his apartment might be haunted. The good news? He just met this really hot guy. Jensen’s a man with a  troubled past, but Jared’s already fallen hard. As he starts to uncover the truth behind what’s happening in his home, however, Jared discovers that his and Jensen’s lives are more intertwined that he ever imagined, and the path to Jensen’s heart might just be helping the man find his way home.

Faint Stars and Bright Satellite Skies It’s a story made for Hollywood – a chance encounter between a regular, down to earth guy with his whole life planned out for him without a second thought and a well-known, popular movie star turns into something far bigger than either man could ever anticipate. Neither Jared Padalecki nor Jensen Ackles expect or want the complications that arise in their lives from their fast friendship – especially when it developed into something neither anticipated. While Jared accepts and tries to deal with his growing feelings for his famous friend, Jensen fights it every step of the way until his strictly controlled life, hidden behind a public persona, spins out of control.

Reanimated In which Jared manages real estate in Heaven and Jensen works as Hell’s attorney in Death Trials. Extreme ambiguity and a distinct lack of beer push Jared to accept a different kind of job in a hotter, more southern locale. The boys meet. Hi-jinks and grocery-stealing in Hell ensue. Featuring saints on book tours, love on trial, after-life bureaucracy, and sin. Surprisingly not as cracktastic as it sounds.

Restraint  The calling card said Tristan Jarrett, Viscount Penrith. Beneath that, in a lazy scrawl, was the addendum Mr Acklebury, be so good as to wait on me tomorrow, number 10, Half Moon Street. Yours, &c., Penrith. Mr Acklebury was not sure how he felt about being thus summarily commanded to paint his lordship’s portrait.

And Heartbreak Ensues Jensen is a newly ‘out of the closet’ gay man ready for romance. Jared is everything he never knew he wanted – sexy, carefree and willing to try anything once. Trouble is, Jared doesn’t do relationships.

Screw You, We’re From Texas Everyone knows the story – Jensen had plans to enroll at Texas Tech and become a Physical Therapist, Jared was heading for the University of Texas to become an Engineer. Instead, they both got against-all-odds breaks in Hollywood and ended up on a totally different path. This is the story of what could have happened if fate twisted differently, if they never got those big Hollywood breaks, and instead ended up living the lives they grew up expecting to lead.

My Shooting Star Jared is a special man who has a passion for dogs, helping people, and a heart as big as a lion. Jensen adopts a dog from the shelter where Jared works, and the two are inexplicably entwined.

Taking Turns (Holding This World) When rich boy Jensen Ackles decided to get out from under his father’s thumb and run away from home he didn’t expect to be robbed in broad daylight, mistaken for a hooker, beaten up by a tattooed maniac and have his life saved by a really cute street kid. All in one day. Jared Padalecki on the other hand didn’t expect to be thrown in jail for his trouble. As love stories go, this one didn’t exactly have the best beginning.

The Word of Us When Jared Padalecki headed off to college he thought he was going to get an education and eventually mate with a nice girl his Mama would be proud to call daughter. He never expected to lock eyes with Jensen Ackles and have his whole world turned upside down. After spending a week with his family, mourning the passing of his grandparents, the last thing Jensen expected was to come home to his roommate in the throes of a mating fever. Taking the high road, he moved out. Unable to find an apartment at such short notice he found himself moving back into the dorms and rooming with a freshman named Jared.

You Sold Me Illusions Jared’s a pricey escort and college student whose life gets a little more complicated when he finds out that Jensen, one of his customers, is also going to be teaching one of his classes this fall.

The Courtship of Jensen’s Co-Star Somewhere in the time between a handshake and a hug, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki went from being reel-life brothers to real-life best friends, and complete strangers to cosmic soul mates, no rhyme or reason to it that either of them could ever see

In Harm’s Way Jared Padalecki is living a quiet life in San Antonio until one day he is snatched off the street by two men. Enter Tom Delaney, CIA spy. Only that’s not his real name. His real name is Jensen Ackles, and he needs Jared’s help. Jensen and his team have been tracking a man named Alain Laurent, a terrorist disguised as a legitimate businessman. Only, they haven’t been able to get close enough to him to gather any useful intelligence. They know that Laurent and his partner, Rafiq Abdul-Aziz, are planning something big – and possibly explosive. They just don’t know what and they don’t know when. But they know that time is running out. That’s where Jared comes in. With a little manipulation, Jensen convinces Jared to help. To use himself as bait to lure Laurent into revealing his secrets. But nothing is ever that simple. As Jensen and Jared become more than just professional colleagues, the stakes become even higher. And when their mission takes an unexpected turn, Jensen must decide between love and duty with devastating consequences.

In The Blink Of An Eye One minute everything is going good in Jensen’s life and the next everything is turned upside down. How will he cope? Can he get his life back in order or will he have to move forward into a life he never asked for?

The Duke and I  Jensen Ackles is a wealthy Duke who is in desperate need to marry within a month, or he will lose his inheritance. Thinking he has found the perfect man in young and beautiful Jared Padalecki, Jensen quickly forges a deal with Gerald Padalecki for his son’s hand in marriage at the urging of his friend Misha. After the wedding, though, it becomes clear that all, especially Jared, is not as it seems, and it’s then that the real drama begins.

Early Mornings and Late Nights Under Overcast Sky Jareds girl (Sandra) breaks up with him. Jensen tries to help. Things go (rapidly) downhill from there… then fester… then get better?

Where I belong One a long weekend trip things are revealed that will change the relationship between Jensen and Jared forever.

plane crash!verse The guys are back off Christmas hiatus and on their way to a location shoot when things go horribly wrong.

There’s someone from Jensen’s past that no one knew about. Someone who threatens the happiness he’s finally found You know that person that Chris never had the name for? Well he may soon get it.

As This Sunset Turns to Morning Jensen spends his life hiding who he is from the family that would never accept him if they knew. When he’s uprooted in the middle of his senior year and suddenly becomes the new kid, his carefully placed mask begins to slip. Especially when he meets Jared – a loud, outspoken spectacle of a boy that fights for everything Jensen was taught to stand against. Jared has no problem going after what he wants, and now it’s just a matter of Jensen letting himself do the same.

QB!verse Armed with strength, size and instinctive talent, Jared Padalecki is the first round draft pick for the faltering Dallas Cowboys. Quickly granted a multi-million dollar contract and heralded as the hopeful future franchise quarterback, Jared is thrilled to be a part of the team he grew up idolizing and is all too eager to take the next step in what should be a long and promising career. However, Jared soon realizes he has a much tougher road ahead than anticipated when he meets the prickly Jensen Ackles, the team’s veteran QB and Jared’s number one competitor for the starting roster spot.

In a league ruled by money, celebrity and ego, where the roster changes week to week and injuries aren’t so much a risk as a fact of life, Jared must prove himself capable of leading one of the NFL’s most glamorous and controversial teams back to glory. And in the process, must deal with his teammates’ potentially career-ending secrets and his own burgeoning, confusing relationship with Ackles.

These Twists & Turns of Fate  Jensen Ackles is a commercial fraud investigator, he has been hired by
JDM who is quite concerned about the future of his company Morgan Inc.
Jensen had thought this would be another simple job of flushing out the
mole but then walked in Jeff’s secretary, Jared Padalecki. Jared and
Jensen had spent couple of months in a passionate relationship after
which Jared had disappeared without a trace and with him Jensen’s ten
million dollars nearly bankrupting Jensen’s company in the process. Now
Jensen was suspicious as Jeff’s company fits Jared’s MO and Jared
himself was looking pretty shifty. Was Jared up to his old tricks again?
And with everyone around him just looking out for themselves can Jensen
really afford to trust anyone?

Crushing Grip (20k)

Summary: “The building blocks for Sam and Dean’s insane, twisted, and erotic codependency are two people very much in love and the lengths they would go to for each other.

We Were Twenty (30k) smut

Summary: It’s sunny the day he buries his brother. Winter sun, where the air’s cold and everything is too bright, hard on his eyes and his lungs.

Between a Rock and a Warm Embrace (9k)

Summary: After two vegetarian restaurants, an almost serious usage of the term “buttercup,” and an incident with Dean’s mouth pressed against his ear, Sam came to the disorienting conclusion that they were quite possibly dating.

After granting Sam and Dean a few final requests, he ‘packs his bags’ and takes everything supernatural in existence with him. Left with nothing to hunt, Sam talks a reluctant Dean into settling down in a small town outside of Sioux Falls. Sam seems to want them live a normal kind of life, but between the ridiculous estate sale Sam bought to furnish the house, the arrival of a very human Castiel who’s overwhelmed by human emotions, and their quirky, invasive neighbors, it’s anything but. Dean’s having a difficult time adjusting, convinced everything couldn’t be more abnormal until Sam reveals exactly what kind of life he wants to have with Dean.

Life’s not perfect, not for a (sort of) out and proud couple in small town USA with a lot to hide, but they’re dealing, that is, until Dean employs one sexually-confused teenager who develops an unhealthy obsession with both of them. Switching between five years earlier and now, we learn how the boys came together, how they made it through the big fight and whether they’ll ever manage to find that flighty temptress, happily ever after.
