loony_moonyOh my GOD the amount of Big Bangs currently open on my Firefox is overwhelming. VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO FINISHING THEM ALL, considering I have a week off now. :D
RECS TIME!
1. 'Hail Mary' by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rhythmsextion (and beautiful, beautiful art by dauntdraws)
Adult, Jared/Jensen, Jensen/OMC
~117,000 words
Three years since becoming the first openly gay coach of a Division I collegiate football team, Jensen Ackles is hired by the Dallas Cowboys as their new quarterbacks coach. Though happy to return to his hometown and eager to return to the NFL, Jensen's new position puts him directly in charge of former teammate, Jared Padalecki, with whom Jensen had a somewhat complicated personal relationship ten years before. Jensen also finds his new position comes with a price when the organization makes it clear they intend to use Jensen's sexual orientation to further their own status. When an old high school friend steps back into Jensen's life, the situation becomes increasingly complicated as Jensen struggles to balance his professional life with his private while attempting to control his reawakening feelings for Padalecki.
(sequel to her last year Big Bang Next Man Up, although there are more fics in this verse too)
You guys. This is a scrumptious read from start to finish. It's just SO SO GOOD. The characterization is perfectly rounded, the pace is fantastic, the football descriptions got even this non-American completely enthralled, the sex is SO HOT and the plot is gripping. It's all around a FANTASTIC FIC and GUH. It's better than any movie out there right now, so save yourself the money and time and GLUE YOURSELF TO YOUR COMPUTER WITH THIS FIC. You will NOT be disappointed. *runs around in circles*
2. 'Rule 26' byfleshflutter (WIP)
Adult, Jared/Jensen
A mash-up of Star Wars, Flash Gordon and a few other sci-fi stalwarts.
In which there is a galaxy-spanning evil empire, a mission to kidnap a henchman of the aforementioned evil empire, and Jared is a resistance fighter on the aforementioned kidnapping mission.
If you're not reading (and rereading and re-rereading) this fic yet, I don't know what rock you're living under (A ROCK IN SPACE YES I KNOW). It is TEETH-GNASHINGLY GOOD. It's a perfect combination of awesome crack and a total mindfuck, in the best Flesh!horror sense. There aren't a lot of people in this fandom (or any other fandom I've been in tbh) who can write horror as well asfleshflutter can, and combined with her OH SO FUN tendency to write epic J2 schmoopy angst, I'm just sitting on my damn HANDS waiting for new installments. I mean, it's a crack harlequin J2 IN SPACE. What more do you need?
