I've Got My Hands Up So Take Your Aim

Title: Dreaming of a White Christmas (and you)
Rating/Warning: NC-17/Wincest (fml)
Words: 1,700
Summary: He stands outside the elevator, watching as co-eds rush through the lobby and laugh and give him the eye. It’s a familiar look, one full of heat and liking, one he’d usually chase down and take serious consideration for. But his palms are sweaty ...
Notes: for transfixeddream; Stanford-era continuation of When We're Wounded Together, featuring always-a-girl!Sam/Dean. Ugh. I blame the wine.

( Just like the ones I used to know )

Title: Finding Out the Ways of This World
Rating/Warning: NC-17/Sex, language, angst
Words: 22,570
Summary: Jensen ambles through L.A. life waiting for his break, a chance, notoriety. As he fails more and more, his mood continues on a steady decline as does his general way of life. Meeting Jared is a life-altering event, but he can't take advantage of the connection until he gets his life in order.

Notes: For corbyinoz's GENEROUS help_haiti donation. She asked for Jensen angst, left it at that. I happened upon Jon McLaughlin's "The Middle" and fell in love with so many ideas that this thing just kind of happened. This story is borderline non-AU, I don't know the exact distinctions, so don't yell at me for not specifically tagging it one way or another.
Beta: Super big thanks to timehasa_way for cheerleading and beta!
