The first bits of this fic were written back on May 27, 2012 with a quick 3,000 words based on an episode of Scandal that piqued my interests for a J2 set up. Then it sat. Cobwebs covering it until I would pick it up, dust it off, and read it. I loved what I had first written and wanted so badly to fill out these characters to everything I wanted from them if I were to read it from someone else. But it just never happened.
I spent most of this spring moaning and groaning over writing for Big Bang, how I couldn't figure out what to write, none of my WIPs were appealing because they'd sat too long, and even if I pulled this one out, who would want to read a political AU when the world is such trash right now (especially for most of us Americans). Then in the final days before drafts were due, I pulled this out and in a last-ditch effort I was able to turn in a 21,000-word draft with dozens of holes because I just scatter-wrote anything I could think of to meet the minimum word count.
In the last two weeks, I finally dove back into the document (following some work craziness, friend drama, side effects of a prescription change sidelining me for a week or so) and have completed this sucker for a total of 48,000+ words. To say it's been dull is an understatement. And I really, really, really hope you enjoy it. This is just all me being sentimental about how happy I am to have finally finished the fic. If no one reads it, I'll cry. But also be happy it's just finally done and posted. I forgot how amazing it feels to commit to a fic like this and see it through to the end.
Also, just imagine ... boys in suits :DDDD
Title: Those Who Show Up
Summary: Jared Padalecki is the latest politician to throw his hat into the Presidential Race. As a Texas Senator, he's well respected by the Republican Party for upholding the values of the GOP. But his earnest, can-do attitude only gets him so far when it comes to the American public. Enter: Jensen Ackles, a renowned strategist who resuscitates fledgling campaigns and wins political races. Over the course of a year, Jensen and Jared struggle to see eye to eye even as they're both hell bent to win in November. If only Jensen could figure out what skeletons are in the Senator's closet so he can get ahead of a scandal before it breaks.
