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 [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang. Art by [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] laisserais and [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] wendy and [livejournal.com profile] 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.


Cover Two

When the claiming excitement was whirling around for [livejournal.com profile] j2_everafter, I got caught up in the energy (and, let's face it, glee and mild wackiness surrounding a Disney fest) and thought, "OMG, how much would I love to see Princess!Jensen and Assistant Pigkeeper!Jared? A LOT." And I signed up for The Black Cauldron.

This is loosely inspired by that movie. A little more so by the books. But when I went back to the source (which for me was actually the books, plus Wikipedia) I realized that a) I was simply not up to writing the level of crack that would be required to set it in Prydain, b) Eilonwy annoyed me a heck of a lot more than I remembered, and also, c) the original holds some special memories for me (and my husband) and I ran the risk of messing that up if I wrote a parody.

So! The setting is different, the style is different. But those who know the source characters may recognize the shapes of the companions, of Achren and Arawn, and of course the oracular HenWen. The Assistant Pigkeeper is still on a journey of self-discovery, and the Cauldron's version of immortality is still a curse fervently sought. And this is probably the crackiest thing I've written (at least in this fandom.)

Warnings for: moderate amounts of crack, mild schmoop, improbable science, rapid-fire exposition, rolling happily around in mad scientist clichés, language not ordinarily heard in a Disney movie, and making Genevieve (Cortese) Padalecki a villain again. I bear her no ill will whatsoever, but one needs villains, and Ruby and Lucifer fit the bill!

Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] dancetomato for beta-reading this, especially when it expanded from its original draft of ~2K to be over 10K words. She is a pretty, pretty princess. ♥ Also, very many thanks to the mods of [livejournal.com profile] j2_everafter who kindly set aside today as a free-for-all, catch-up posting day for those of us who missed our assigned date. That is a beautifully generous gesture, which made me feel a whole lot better when I was ill on/around my original posting date. ♥

It counts as a tradition if you've done it once before, right? Maybe? So, uh, yeah. I don't post Erin's birthday fic on her birthday because it's tradition. *cough*

This was actually written back in January, when I really did envision finishing it in time (ha!) and then life fell on me (entirely my fault) and I wasn't about to put it up when I still had stuff outstanding.

I haven't seen SPN, but [livejournal.com profile] madame_meretrix, who kindly beta'd this for me, assures me that in J2 AU it's tough to go wrong. Here's hoping. I still like Jensen Ackles, Formula One Driver, but he's now joined by Jared Padalecki, Orthopedic Surgeon.

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. This means, among other things: 1) the accuracy of information acquired from such sources as Wikipedia and TV is by no means guaranteed; 2) no implication, imputation, insult or anything else starting with 'i' is intended to persons who may bear the same names as persons in this story; 3) it is really really not okay for doctors to have relationships with patients, ever, and any eventual twisty arguments used to justify any relationship which may or may not eventually occur in this story is not to be taken as having any relevance in the real world.


Jared's had a week from hell. )
