EYE NEDE SALEEP

1. HS AU IS UP! Jesus, I've been fighting html for like 45 minutes now, you have no idea. And now I can't figure out why the master post is all the way at the bottom of my flist, behind all the parts when I dated it differently. Whatever, it's there. (oh and I go to fix it again and now it's completely gone, wtf?)

2. I worked like 12 hours yesterday and then wrote the ending to that thing on the train and nearly fist-pumped, because that felt more like accomplishing something than my 12 hours of work? Whatever.

3. Um, so, now I have just one help_haiti fic to write, the master WINNAH corbyinoz and shit, I'm excited for that one, too, but it'll be angsty and kind of out of my league, but shit if I don't wanna write the fuck outta that thing.

4. Relatedly, I'm fucking exhausted, between work and writing HS AU, so from here until BB goes up, it'll probably be just HH and BB. And I feel bad, but I just saw the Help Chile thing go up and I literally shook my head and closed my eyes. I over-committed myself these last few months and need a fucking break.

5. That doesn't mean there won't be shenanigans; I think we're all due for some episodic picspamming, eh? :-D

6. How fucking hot is Jensen? SRSLY. Yes, it's the pic from my HS banner, but still, it needs more fucking attention. JFC JEN.

NC-17 | Be Cool.Be Hard.Be Weird (It's Just Four Years) | J2

Jared's popular, but not too popular; Jensen's quiet, but too quiet. When Jared forges on to befriend Jensen, he thinks it'll just be a fun test of wills, but he gets more than he'd bargained for. They both do.

Big thanks to neros_violin for thorough beta and support, as well as timehasa_way for overall squeeing.
Title from Jon McLaughlin's "Four Years."

This thing began as karabou's $10 help_haiti donation, with this prompt. I started then just kept ... going. And then I remembered a tricky little plotbunny jumping around my head and those two ideas became THIS. Forgive me, but I'm going to be dopey for a second: I hope you enjoy this as much I enjoyed writing it; this is one of my best writing experiences &hearts
