I love big bang time. Literally my favorite part of the whole year. Yeah, I know. My name is Candi and I have a J2 AU problem. I AM AWARE. So this is what I read this week:
Wandering LostĀ by dugindeep (hot sauce). 36K. Loved it. The story has this otherworldly, almost dream-like feel. Jensen is driving a classic truck across the country for his boss and ends up breaking down beside the road. Will he be rescued by a hot, mysterious tow truck driver? If not, I would have been seriously disappointed because come on. The laws of J2 AU are pretty clear.Ā
Silly Love Songs by NaughtyPastryChef. 28K. Very floofy and smutty until the end which took a surprising turn into angst. Still good though. Iām not really sure how to describe it.Ā
The Pie that Binds byĀ HermineKurotowa. 29K. Jared is the leader of his city but heās not great at it tbh. Jensen and his clan live in the woods outside of Jaredās kingdom. Thereās intrigue and sex and vikings and hurt/comfort and all that good stuff.
So right in the middle of reading big bang stories, my brain wentĀ āHey, you know what? Go see if xenodike has written anything latelyā and I was likeĀ āNo, brain. I would have heard about it by now if there was a new story.ā And my brain was allĀ āAre you 100% positive, dummy? Because you havenāt checked in months.ā and i got huffy but went to check and GUESS WHAT.Ā
Timestamp for Fucking Kodiak, Alaska. Nothing like a timestamp (albeit a short one) for one of my favorite AUs ever to make my day better. And if you havenāt read Fucking Kodiak, Alaska, please do yourself a favor and read it before the author takes it down in a couple of days. Itās so good.Ā
AND what Iām reading right this minute…
Phoenix by xenodike. 111K. A book-length AU by one of my favorite authors that I somehow totally missed back in April when it was posted? And theyāre cowboys? Yes, please. Iām right in the middle and loving it. 12/10. Heckinā good story.Ā
