J2 Recs: Fics Posted 2017-2018
Fic recs for Jared/Jensen (almost exclusively J2 AU) fic written and posted 2017-2018. Hopefully some hidden gems and modern classics.
Curiosity

Explicit, Switching, 84,606k Words
Jensen runs the brewery that supplies Jared's bar. That's as far as their relationship goes, since Jared's oblivious to Jensen's perfection and Jensen is straight. But when Jensen confides in Jared that he may not actually be straight, Jared eagerly volunteers to help him figure it out.
Notes: This was a great take on Jared's real life bar and Jensen's real life brewery. Jensen slowly coming out was also believable and well done.
Domestic Dreams Series
By dugindeep, 2017-2019
Explicit, Top Jared, 32,862K Words
Jared is a businessman who fulfills his deepest, hidden needs with an escort on his business trips across the country. Their relationship is unconventional.
Notes: Escort Jensen. Bittersweet and real.
A Love Story in Twelve Scenes
By Oschun, 2017
Explicit, Top Jensen, 21,100K Words
Movie industry AU. Jensen is a hot-shot film director with a notorious reputation. Jared desperately wants the job as Jensen's assistant and is willing to do what it takes to get it. Misha has a plan to help Jared.
Notes: Really good movie industry background, especially with storyboarding. The de-beautification of Jared Padalecki plotline is a little goofy, because I don't know that slumping, khakis, and button downs could really hide that body. However, the spark between Jensen and Jared is lovely. The only downside (for me) is the Misha inclusion, but it's not overt.

Explicit, Top Jensen, 18,813K Words
Jensen Ackles is an Oscar nominated director. His professional life is the picture of success, but at forty-one, his personal life is anything but. Trapped in a marriage he never wanted to be in, bound by what he was always taught was "the right thing to do," Jensen has never known love, and long ago gave up the dream of it. Jensen is directing a play at a Dramatic Arts Academy in LA as a favour to a friend on staff. He's looking forward to the change of pace and the chance to scope out new talent. Enter Jared Padalecki, the school's star pupil. Seventeen years old and the recipient of a prestigious, hard-earned scholarship, he's the obvious choice for the play's lead. He's exactly the kind of fresh talent that Jensen is looking for as a director -- and maybe exactly what Jensen never knew he needed as a man who's lived his entire life without love.
Notes: I like age difference fic as long as Jensen is older. I also love theatre fic, whether it's professional theatre or high school geeks, and this has both. This has a really nice sense of urgency, too.

Jensen is straight, thank you very much, and set on his conservative Texan future with the girl of his dreams. But after accidentally seeing his college roommate naked, his straightness comes into serious question. As for Jared, what is a gay boy supposed to do when someone as hot as Jensen decides to experiment with him? Definitely not fall in love.
Notes: This is incredibly incredibly hot and poignant, but Jensen's formal coming out at the end goes on and on and on like the end of "Return of The King." Still, well done and one of the few D/s fics I've loved.
Regarding Inappropriate Conduct between a Teaching Assistant and an Undergraduate Student
By deadlybride, 2017
Explicit, Top Jared, 22,450K Words
Jensen's a little stressed from writing his dissertation, so he agrees to go to a party. His favorite student is also there.
Notes: College AU: TA Jensen, student Jared. Very realistic: I've been in college or worked at a college my entire adult life, never boned a TA as a student or a student as a TA, but can still certify its realism.

A new boy rolls into town, and Jensen Notices. (And...his girlfriend notices him noticing.)
Notes: Jensen/OFC, het&slash, vague threesomes. Very real. But owwww with teenage Jensen and Jared with LaCroix and Roku and Facetime? What happened to Snapple, raves, and cruising?! :D
Teenage Success Skills
By Nutkin, 2017 (I'm pretty sure it's older)
Explicit, Top Jared, 6,267K Words
At Jensen's high school, he's the perfect student and resident ice queen. Everyone wants to date him, or at least get into his pants – guys and girls, jocks and nerds – but the ones who try always get shot down. No one has any idea that under his frosty, perfectly composed exterior, there's a slut who can only be set free by one person: Jared, the gorgeous older guy who lives next door. Jared's taught Jensen everything about sex. Dirty, kinky sex. And Jensen is an excellent student.
Note: Naughty, naughty, cute and horny (as the song from my teendom goes).
The Bleeding Heart Left on the Shelf
By Dugindeep, 2018
Explicit, Top Jensen, 23,070 Words
A lot happens in nine years, everything in his life passing him by. When he wakes up after nearly a decade in a coma, he's mighty grateful for a second lease on life, but there’s far too much that’s changed, and yet so much that remains.
Notes: Good old hurt comfort. And it hurts so good.
Fuckboy Next Door

Explicit, Top Jared, 6,595K words
Jared fucking hates his neighbor.
Notes: Cam boys. Hot
The Guy Next Door
By Whispered Story, 2018
Explicit, Top Jensen, 11,930 Words
Jensen hates his new neighbor. Jared is loud, obnoxious, and too damn hot.
Notes: I have an annoying neighbor theme! Sadie has a cute role in this one.
Like a Music That Holds My Hands Down
By saltnbyrne, 2018
Explicit, Top Jensen, 22,891 Words
Perpetually-single pediatric dentist Jared lets his best friend Misha talk him into going to an anonymous BDSM party. Jared hooks up with a gorgeous stranger, but panics after their encounter and leaves before he can learn more about him. A year later, Jared is stunned to recognize Jensen Ackles as the father of one of his new patients and the guy from the best one-night stand of Jared’s life. With some encouragement from Jensen’s co-parent Danneel and Jared’s plucky office manager Genevieve, Jared realizes that he and Jensen might be perfect for each other after all.
Notes: Funny, smokin' hot, and kid!fic! It would be perfect but: Misha. Eh. Still like it.

Explicit, Top Jared, 29,113 Words

NotesSharp and savvy.
