Three years after Supernatural ends, Jared and Jensen find themselves divorced and needing each other more than ever. Jensen wakes up to discover that he’s been in love with his best friend for ten years, but changing their relationship from friends to lovers proves easier said than done.
When I commented that I was surprised at the lack of non-AU J2 in this year's big bang I was told it was because every possible scenario has already been written. What this fic has made me realise is that I don't care. I've read dozens of 'Jared and Jensen live together and realise they have feeling for each other' fics but there's always little subtle differences that, to me, make them interesting. This one is no exception. I absolutely loved it
From the Ruined Tower to the Caves of Unknown Horror byannella
Jared's been adventuring for most of his life. He loves being out on the road with his friends—killing monsters and bad guys, finding treasure, and helping people out of sticky situations. It's all part of being a good-hearted barbarian. Then his carefree life is shaken up by the introduction of a scrawny half-elf wizard called Jensen, who joins them for a quest upon which they will encounter horror, true friendship, and a secret buried deep underground...
This is the big bang I've been looking forward to most and it didn't disappoint. It's funny, and exciting and reads like the d&d books I used to read when I was a teenager. You definitely don't need to be familiar with d&d to read this though. Be sure to check out the art too. It's fantastic. I may have a wee crush on cleric!Misha
Dean/Castiel
Romance and Fireworks and Crap byhrtslkths (Not Big Bang)
If Dean can survive telling God about his intentions for His son and the inevitable ribbing from Sam, he should be able to survive two weeks without losing Castiel. Dean is not known for his luck with relationships.
Sometimes you just need to read a bit of schmoop. This had bucketloads of it but it made me smile a lot. It's adorable and funny.
