who asked for: a J2 non au drabble about being each others "best man"

It takes exactly two tequila shots and 3 GIBs before Jared can look Jensen in the eye.  It takes 3 more shots and 2 more GIBs before he can tell Jensen what he’s been meaning to.  Of course, by then he’s more than half-way to shit-faced drunk so it comes out something like this:

 “I love you man.”

 “You’re not bad yourself, Jare.”

 “No man, I mean…getting married.”

 That’s when Jensen shifts position slightly, to get a bit of distance and really looks at Jared.

 “What?”

 “Getting married.”

 “Yeah man, I’m getting married.”

 “No.”  Jensen watches Jared shake his head slowly, and Jared brings his hand up to stop his head from spinning after shaking it.

“Me too.”

 Eyes narrowing, Jensen tries to figure out exactly what Jared’s trying to say to him.  Either Jared wants to marry Jensen or…

 “’m marrying Gen.”

 Jensen takes a long swallow from the bottle nearest him, fishes in his jacket pockets and pulls out a smoke and his lighter.  He lights it and takes a deep drag.

 “Are you now?” 

 “Yep.  Asked her a month ago.”

 Jensen’s brows rise.  “A month ago.”  He’s not really aware of the pitch of his voice, but something in it makes Jared sit up straighter.

 “Want you to be my best man, Ackles.”  It’s slurred and slow, but the words send something pinging back and forth through Jensen’s stomach like a pin-ball.

 He knows that he’s going to answer ‘yes’ just like Jared did him all those months ago when they sat here and Jensen told him about putting the ring on Danneel. But for a moment he lets himself feel the sharp crack of change, the slow well of sorrow that’s been developing between them.

 A warm smile spreads across his face and he reaches out and clasps Jared’s forearm firmly, squeezing just slightly as he says, “Of course I will man, of course I will.”

“I like the cheapest hotels, the $39 specials where it smells like someone has been smoking 15 packs of cigarettes a day and you go ‘ewww, gross’. Awesome!”

“It is fun to stay in places you’d never stay in. I wouldn’t if I was by myself but with the dogs laying next to me growling at the door every time someone walks past, they’re not going to rob my room, they’ll rob the next place.”


What he leaves out of the reasons why he likes dive motels is 1) usually no one recognizes him and 2) no one asks any questions. ( These are crucial bits of information to note when... )

Prompt: 20



It ends as it begins: outside a bar in Vancouver.

Now

Jensen swings wildly, aiming for Jared's jaw, but misjudging distance and height, ends up pivoting on his left foot and stumbling for balance when his fist connects with nothing. He can hear Jared's derisive snort even as he wills the world to slow its bobbling spin so he can stand up straight again.

Prompt: 11. lie

Some days it's Dean who cuts Asia off, some days it's Sam. Some days Sam is already awake and watching Dean when 'the heat of the moment' lyric fills the room. Some days Sam just rolls over, sticks a pillow over his head and falls back to sleep.

( It doesn't matter how it starts. It always ends the same. )

Jeezly crow, I haven't uploaded in awhile...

I give unto you a mess of Supernatural (mostly Sam & Dean, or Jensen & Jared) icons and about 8 or so text only icons in two posts (because LJ had a conniption on me).

Hey, Teach. Admit it: this is a torture device thought up by one of you 50 some-odd years ago and you all just keep recycling it like some white-elephant gift.  ( Seriously, how many times can you read about someone going to Disneyland... )

First, let me start this off by saying that NONE of the icons here are mine. NOT MINE. NOT MINE. NOT MINE.

Do NOT credit me. I did NOT make them. I am merely rec'ing them.

If you are saving/using or want to check out what else that maker has on offer, then pay attention:

EVERY icon here has the maker's LJ or icon community as a part of the file name -- it is always the last portion of the name before the file extention.

For example:

When you save this icon:



it will save as: Jared_birdicon3bysmidgy06.png (unless you change the name somehow)

That red part right there? After the "by"? THAT's who you credit. So that icon belongs to smidgy06

All of these are black & white icons. That was my only restriction. No color outside of that (although there seem to be a couple that look black in white when see in isolation, but definitely have a hue to them...oh well). So there are animated, text, stock, multi-fandom all mixed up together here. It may get neater and more organized the next go 'round but there were just so many that I gave myself a headache trying to figure out a better way that wasn't going to take me hours of sorting...and then I laid down and gave up. So you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. K?

Again, CREDIT THE NAME THAT FOLLOWS "by" in the file name

Got it? Okay. Here we go then:

( HUMONGOUS TABLE OF BLACK & WHITE DOOM!!! (with pretty pink background) )

 A friggin' ridiculous amount of icons and a couple of headers. Nearly everyone of them made for one challenge or another.  Again, I subject you to my inability to settle on one incarnation and give you all the variations of my ADD stricken muse.

Rules:  Want. Save.  Have.  Credit.

Winchesters make their own rules.

Normal doesn't apply to Winchesters.

There's no rule the Winchesters won't bend.

Dean's heard these aphorisms applied to his family more than once and in more than one variation.  ( But he's pretty damn sure... )
