Title: Love Lies Burning. (J2, AU).
Rating: NC-17 Wordcount: ~ 95K
Artist: The awesomely talented takiai5jalka who made this challenge so much easier because she’s a joy to work with. I cannot believe how she interpreted my story exactly how I pictured it, and drew it with so much character. Go see her art here. (Spoilery images.)
Summary: Jared Padalecki heads up one of the largest companies in the mix and bake market. He is ruthless, devious and successful. His personal assistant, Alona, will tell you that he’s an asshole. His best friend Misha will agree. When a Padalecki factory burns down, killing the homeless squatters inside, Jared finds out he has a stalker and his life starts to spiral out of control.
Jen knows he’s wrong, he’s never been right. He stays quiet and watches from the shadows, until the night a fire illuminates his presence. He suddenly finds himself having to face a reality he’s been avoiding for years.
In short, it’s a tale of obsession, deceit and danger, with a pissed off personal assistant …. and cupcakes.
Pairings & Characters: Jensen/Jared, Misha Collins/Alona Tal, Katie Cassidy/Sophia Bush. Appearances from an assortment characters including Jeff Padalecki, Jim Beaver, Christian Kane and yes….Chad Michael Murray.
Warnings: neurological disorder*, elective mutism, fire, violence, explicit sexual situations, first time, cross dressing, homelessness, domestic abuse, homophobia.
Beta readers, alpha reader and cheerleaders: I cannot thank meus_venator enough for her ongoing beta (but she then is the one that got me into this in the first place – ho hum!) and also for her shared knowledge of the Pantone numbering system, including finding the numbers I needed for the story. annoyingfan did a fabulous job, coming in cold to make sure all my plot and character strings pulled together when it was finished. Similarly thank you to sylsdarkplace for the support, alpha, americanis(z)ation and comma tutorial, and fedaykin_here for cheerleading. I couldn’t have done it without you all. Any mistakes that remain are my own. I have a terrible habit of tinkering with the text.
Disclaimer: This is fiction, pure fantasy folks. Nobody here belongs to me and they’re not likely to get in my van for candy any time soon. I make no money from the strange stories I invent.
Authors Notes: I have shamelessly played with the ages of Jensen, Jared and Misha in this au and altered their family composition. Jensen is older than Jared by two years in this world and Misha is the same age as Jared. *I have no medical qualifications or experience and while I researched neurological disorders in the autism/aspergers spectrum I have no direct experience. The traits that Jensen displays, are a combination of behaviors which cannot be attributed to any real person. Every person is unique, I may have made errors, and this is fiction in a fictional world.
