Title: Those Who Show Up for [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang
Words: 50,000
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Infidelity on an OFC (Jared cheats on his wife). Everyone is aged with respect to running for office (Jensen and Jared are mid to late 40s, everyone else around them is respectively older). Set in an alternative timeline (2020 U.S. Presidential Election) where politicians are better received/respected than they are today.

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.

Decisions are made by those who show up - Aaron Sorkin, The West Wing

________________MASSIVE THANKS________________

to my lovely artist [livejournal.com profile] matchboximpala for such diligence in number of pieces she created; she told me early on that she was excited to work on a political story because she's active in local politics, and I think it really, really, really shows. She has great detail to so many pieces, including blog posts, TV results, the flier for Jared's campaign. Such great, great stuff. Thank you for picking me and hanging in there over the long haul <333333333333

to [livejournal.com profile] gluedwithgold for the attention to detail to perform not just one, but two betas on this monster ;-) and all the hand holding, brainstorming, and all around tomfoolery! It's been wonderful having your assistance the last few weeks!

to [livejournal.com profile] kelleigh, my most beloved, dedicated to every sentence, reminding me to mention Madeline and the children, cheering me along from drafts to posting, and forgiving me for spelling Penikett and Bamber wrong 18,000 times in the fic ;-) I love you dear and I couldn't have done this without you :-****

to [livejournal.com profile] wendy as always for continuing to run the fabulous [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang :D

*apologies it isn't on LiveJournal. I ran into last-minute posting issues (namely, sections being too long and yet unable to split them due to narrative structure) and just kept it with AO3.
