This here's for thalialunacy  who is starting on the J2 journey.  And anyone else who likes Jensen/Jared.  OMG it kind of snowballed into this huge thing too.  Also, this fandom is HUGE so please feel free to comment with important things I've missed here.

And check my Jensen/Jared tag or my delicous for a few more podfic and fic recs.



ETA: It figures that I make a massive J2 recpost and two days later find one of the most amazing stories I've ever read.  *shakes head*  So here's the addendum to that post:

The Doors of Time by felisblanco : NC-17 (second part), magic, music and angst
It’s not like he doesn’t try to fit in and make friends, he really does. It just seems like nothing he does is good enough for them. If he smiles they blink. If he speaks they stare. And whenever they see him coming they get this panicked look in their eyes like they want to run away and they don’t even know why.
Jensen knows why. It’s the same thing that makes his dad worry and his mom cry. That makes Nana tell his parents he’s going to Hell, not even caring that he can hear her.
It’s what makes him ‘weird’.
One of the most vivid, lyrical and emotional fics I've ever read.  The words just flowed and built worlds around Jensen and Jared that felt so tangible and personal.  She weaves piano music into the story through the words and by interspersing song files through the fic and I really, really loved that.  It gave a whole other aspect to the story than you usually get.  This story made me cry several times, and that's pretty unusual for me.  She created characters that I felt so invested in and wanted so badly to be happy.  It went beyond my desire for them to have a romantic relationship, I needed for them to be ok just on a basic level.  The music also really affected me.  It felt like the songs she picked distilled the emotions from the story and pierced my heart with them, amplifying the joy and grief alike.  By the end I felt wrung out emotionally in all the best ways that fic can cause.  This fic comes highly recced by me.
Note: There is also a video for this fic which I don't think is linked in the masterpost linked above.  It's The Doors of Time by Ketch2510.  (Link goes to YouTube)
