SPN J2 AU Fic: Black Flag Over Texas (Masterpost)

[electricalgwen]

Title: Black Flag Over Texas
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Length: ~32,000 words

Summary: Jensen belongs to a team of mercenary vigilantes that is trying to stop a group of anarchists whose goal is the dissolution of the USA. They get information that a student group on UT Dallas campus is harboring at least one of the major players, and Jensen is assigned to an undercover mission to infiltrate the group.

His first day on campus, he meets a final-year PhD student named Jared who would be exactly Jensen’s type – if he weren’t a prime suspect. Move by move, like chess pieces, actions escalate, and the stakes get higher. Jensen and his colleagues are dealing with computer espionage, bombings, and kidnapping threats, as the institutions of government waver around them, threatening to fall. Ultimately, Jensen is forced to make a choice that pits revenge and love against the greater good.

Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction.

Warnings: Violence, language, sex under the influence of chemicals, discussion of politics.

Author's Notes: Written for the 2011 round of spn_j2_bigbang. Art by ladytiferet, who was a real pleasure to work with and put up with my last-minute flailing with great aplomb and grace. Big hugs are due to laisserais and dancetomato for beta-reading and fixing all my non-American vocabulary. Any remaining errors are of course entirely my fault (and please do let me know about them!) And of course, many thanks to wendy and thehighwaywoman for all their work in coordinating this amazing event.

This is set in the same universe as last year's story Green Means Go. It is a prequel, but both stories stand alone, and may be read in either order.

Ha, my daughter JUST graduated from UT Dallas, so of course I gotta read this one. It's a small campus and lots of new construction going on, but it's a pretty nice place. She lived in the on-campus apartments and enjoyed all 4 years of her studies there (Electrical Engineering). She's not really a fan of SPN, but I'll have to tell her you used her alma mater; she'll get a kick out of that.

*SMISH* I can't wait to see what you've added! And also, in case I didn't mention it before: I SNOG YOUR BRAIN ON GENERAL PRINCIPLE.. God, I don't think I can flail enough about how awesome this fic is, and how awesome you are. I can't even believe you wrote something so perceptive and so timely about American politics when, you know, you aren't even American. Seriously, FLAIL

YOU ARE AMAZING

I'm gonna wait for the PDF before I read this, but first have to ask and it's probably a stupid question but is this the prequel to Green Means Go or is it the other way around. It's getting late so I'm getting easily confuse.

I really love these kind of stories. I had been toying with the idea of writing a Jensen, Chris & Katie "retrieval team" fic a few months back so discovering this during big bang has been a delight!

I'm adding this to my delicious spn/j2 fic rec list (http:www.delicious.com/jlynne_spn) and want to tag it proper; are you going to name the verse? (I've downloaded the other to read later today. ;) )
