We all know:

J x J = J Squared

And:

J + J = J2

But have you considered?

J / J = 1

Sam catching Dean lip-syncing "All Out Of Love" by Air Supply and Dean being unable to stop himself has all my heart.

That hard-edged hunter has a heart of sappy goo.

Have you ever done an analysis of which fandoms are most dominated by a single ship?

I hadn't done so before. I just took a quick pass at doing so, but only among the biggest fandoms on AO3 as of Jan 2024 (ones with over 10K public works at that time). I sorted them by the size of their biggest ship relative to the size of the fandom. This gives us a bunch of very big fandoms with a high % of works tagged with a particular ship:

The raw data used to make this graph, including the corresponding biggest ships, is available in a spreadsheet here, or at the end of this post.

A few notes:

This is based on January 2024 data. Some things may have changed!

Not all these works are necessarily about these ships. Especially in the cases where the ships are canon, they may often be tagged as background ships.

There are undoubtedly many smaller AO3 fandoms that have higher percentages devoted to the top ship.

I removed some highly overlapping fandoms (e.g., Good Omens book fandom).

This is AO3 data only, and (as always!) AO3 does not represent fandom overall. In particular, ship popularity tends to vary A LOT by archive/platform. See some past cross-platform shipping comparisons from 2019 (comparing het vs. slash vs. gen on Wattpad/FFN/AO3), and 2014 (comparing popular ships from HP, SPN, and Sherlock on AO3/FFN). One highlight:

Raw data:

Fandom | Top relationship | % tagged with most common ship

Shameless (US) | Ian Gallagher/Mickey Milkovich | 92.5%

Phandom/The Fantastic Foursome (YouTube RPF) | Dan Howell/Phil Lester | 92.1%

hunting fucking sucks: a fic rec list

I just love when their lives suck not because they’re vessels for archangels or whatever, but just because their job is the worst. thankless, dangerous, morally ambiguous, leaving them injured and dirty and bone-tired. i <3 whump

Due East by sowell (4,700 words)

Just hunts and angst and them, together. Love the characterization. 

“I think I like you injured. Less bitchy,” Dean says with a smile, and Sam blinks at him. / “What?” / “You think I haven’t noticed you sulking for two days straight?”

Hard to Come By by sevenfists (1,700 words)

Hunting, driving around, sleeping in shitty motels. Making difficult choices, dealing with hard realities. 

"You don't smoke," Sam says, and Dean says, "What's it look like I'm doing?" The cigarette tastes like ass. He smokes it anyway, tapping the ash out the open window. It's August. Sam turns up the air conditioning. Dean turns it back down.

Below Breath by kalliel (3,100 words)

Season 2, case fic. Love the complete lack of exposition. You’re just thrown into it on Dean’s terms, and everything is complicated and difficult and unknown. 

Dude, he says, and shoves you in the back with his shotgun. You resist the urge to turn around and smack him with it. Or kiss him, all teeth. See how much he’s paying attention then. 

Every Rhyme Without Reason by kalliel (44,800 words) 

Season 1, case fic, Sam POV. Fascinating and atmospheric and a tough read bc Sam’s life is very uphill at this point, but he’s so present, wrestling and grappling with it. Love him. <3

Maybe they killed that rawhead, released that reaper, slashed that bax'aan's throat. Maybe they'll kill this thing in Rime. But this is what's gonna get them: They have $127.34, four more nights, half a tank of gas, and some cold leftovers to their name. Out here, there's nowhere to go but down; and even then, they're going to have to limp.

With Gravy by kalliel (3,700 words)

Vague season 2. A hunt gone wrong. Slim chances of survival, complete darkness, pain, and heroism. 

The tunnel stretches on and on, and all Dean hears is their footsteps getting heavier, sloppier. One kid cries. The woman cries. The man's leg doesn't quite clear some jutting rocks, and he weeps.

The Real Thing by ameliacareful (14,200 words)

Jensen wakes up in a motel room in Dean’s place. So outsider POV. That thing about the third trial, about Tom and Shep… Kill me. 

“Are you doing that on purpose?” / “What?” / “Sounding like him?” / “A little. Does it work?” Jensen asked. / Sam did that funny little flicker of a smile/grimace that Jared only did as Sam. “Yeah, it does.” His gaze hardened. “Don’t do it again.” / Sam was suddenly very big. Armed. / “Gotcha,” Jensen said.

Catch Your Death by road_rhythm (22,300 words)

They work a ghost hunt while Sam’s sick. This fucks severely! All their petty fights and their biases and bickering really get the spotlight they deserve, as well as the fact that they just really love and care about each other. Feels exactly like a really good ep of s2. And takes up some of the interesting Sam issues as well.

It was this, every time. Sam lashed out and Dean came back with impenetrable patience and washcloths and medicine and touch and one day it would be his life. And there was no answering back to that.

my habit of breaking hearts as soon as i have them by acccording2thelore (6,600 words)

WARNING: major character death. 

A hunt gone wrong. Staggering grief and horror mixed with intimacy and connection. <3 

If he can just get to Garth, he can send up some of his people and help carry Sam to the base of the mountain. Dean won’t make it that far.

the blurriness of being alive by hathfrozen (3,500 words)

WARNING: major character death. 

Sam dies of an infection.

“They don’t get to grieve for him,” Dean tells Miracle when he decides he isn’t calling anybody to tell them. “They ain’t allowed. They don’t get it.” Dean’s had the worst things in the known universe leeching off of him, trying to turn him into evil, but this is the most rotten, meanest he’s ever felt. He doesn’t fucking care.

A Lifetime or Two by nigeltde (18,400 words)

They work a case with their mom; Sam gets banged up; they try something new. This fic feels so real and lived in. The familiarity between Sam and Dean, the way Sam feels left out, Sam’s quiet loneliness and enduring hope, Dean’s desperate affection. <3

Sam would say lucky it was just broken bones. Lucky nothing else cut too deep. Lucky his ear was intact. Dean gets lost, strung out, trying to calculate: if Sam had been concussed, would that still be good luck? If he’d lost the finger, should Dean be thankful? Where does it end, the tallying? Sam thrown through glass, dragged across pavement, tossed into a car, stitched up in this cramped doll’s house of a room, having to bluntly endure; this is what he’s supposed to be grateful for?

Settle Down My Shivered Bones by abitingsmile (4,800 words)

WARNING: disordered eating, food insecurity, and child neglect. 

Pre-series. John, unreliable and off hunting somewhere, and Sam and Dean, making it work with too little cash and too little food. Love this exact flavor of codependency, not sweet, but hard-earned and for survival. 

Sam still bickered with him about school and television and laundry, but not about food. Hell, he practically waited for Dean to give him permission to eat, because that way they knew there’d be enough. John or no, this was something incredibly important they could control, they could handle. John simply wasn’t in the loop anymore.

Ya'll have to know that this whole Hotshots crack promo, is a fanfiction come to life.

Because from this promo they are reenacting the lightning strike rescue, the ENTIRE rescue!!

Personally I only saw fanfiction that did this thing, with Captain America The Winter Soldier - with Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan

And I remember - Star Trek - with Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine

And even I wrote in my RPF years Supernatural bts with Jensen and Jared with all kinds of visitors in the mix - it wasn't slash, J2 was too real of brother bond for me.

Of course there was also that theater re-enactment in Thor Ragnarok and Hawkeye's mini series, but those were crack for crack sake, there was very little seriousness involved except for Clint missing Natasha like hell. (she is the one character I will never forgive killing off)

So Tim Minear is giving strong fanfiction vibes here, I remember years ago that this bastard said keep writing fics when asked about buddie, neither one of us imagined that it would look quite like this lol.

Wincest/J2 fic search: realistic anal sex hygiene prep.

Hey, all! I'm doing some very serious business academical research today. Help, please?

I'm looking for your best Wincest or J2 fic recs that involve realistic hygiene prep before anal sex and/or discussion about the subject. That is, the bottoming character cleaning or being cleaned beforehand (bonus points for enema use outside of kink scenario), open discussion between the characters about it, discussion between them of insecurities around these subjects or the possibility of 'accidents', etc.

The reason I ask is that the lovely humans at the @idlingintheimpalapodcast have invited me to co-host (or would it be thro-host since there'll be three of us? 🤔) their next Fact Versus Fiction episode which is all about Hygiene. Ostensibly I'm there as a guest vagina-haver, but as a long-term slash fic reader, there are other subjects I can help with. I'd also like to help them find some fics to rec to their listeners on this topic.

Now, if you've been reading m/m slash fic for any length of time, you know it's pretty rare to find any that explicitly depict realistic anal prep (which is fine–my own fics are the same. No one should go into a fic expecting a sex education lesson. That's what FvF is for. 😉). So I need your help!

Apart from the theme mentioned above, this is what I'm looking for:

Sam/Dean or Jared/Jensen

Doesn't matter who bottoms

Any rating is fine

Self-recs welcome

Feel free to rec in anon asks if you're shy!

Thanks heaps in advance if you have anything to share. Ready when you are!

Masterlist

Chapter 4: Has reference to Episode 4 "Metamorphosis"

The set of "Supernatural" hummed with controlled chaos as cameras rolled for Season 4, Episode 4. You stood in Raven's dark attire, poised for an intense scene with Gen portraying Ruby.

"Sam, we can’t trust her! Ruby literally just slashed that man in half for no reason. What if she was the one to hurt Jack? What if she just wants to use you?" You delivered your lines with unwavering focus.

"Then let her use me, Raven. Besides, who’s to say you’re not just using me and Dean?" Sam retorted.

"Sammy!" Dean stepped between Sam and Raven, with Ruby slyly standing behind Sam. "I don’t need this, Sam. You want my help or not?" Ruby asked, tension palpable.

"Not," Dean stated firmly, just as Sam chimed in with, "We need it," creating a clash of opinions.

Sam and Dean glared at each other. Raven crossed the room as the men continued their standoff, Sam expressing remorse to Dean and Dean furrowing his brows, trying to sway Sam to his side.

“You use unspeakable methods,” Raven's voice lowered to a dangerous tone as she backed Ruby against the wall, inches from her face. “To hurt innocent people. For what? I don’t know what you’re hiding. I don’t know what you’re up to, but I promise, I’ll find out, bitch.” Ruby smirked, a corner of her mouth twitching.

Just as the scene's intensity peaked, the air fractured with Dee's unexpected arrival. She reached Gen on set and grabbed her arm, yanking her to her side. Heads turned, whispers rippled through the crew.

"The hell is this?! Jensen?" The director yelled, cutting the scene.

Jensen stepped between you, Dee, and Gen, looking Dee dead in the eyes. “Dee, LEAVE.”

Dee's voice cut through the set like a jagged blade. "Jensen, you don’t answer my calls, my texts. You don’t come home, and it’s like you’re hiding something from me!"

“I’m not hiding anything from you. We’re over.” Jensen turned to gently guide you off set.

“Are you sleeping with HER?” Dee mocked. “This… This… Ha! MOOOOOOO.” The cast and crew gasped. Gen stepped away from Dee, looking disappointed.

You froze, embarrassment flaming your cheeks as guilt tingled under your skin. You looked back at Jensen, feeling his hand no longer on your back. He had turned towards Dee. Jared stepped in front of him, grasping his shoulders.

"Hey, calm down, man," Jared whispered.

"He just needed a rebound girl, Y/N. He doesn't love you, you cow." Dee's words, sharp and accusatory, pierced the air, amplifying the tension.

Jensen, visibly distressed, attempted to diffuse the situation, his voice strained but firm. "Dee, we've been over this. I left you. We’re done. If I ever see you on set again, I’ll get a restraining order." His gaze warned her to stop amidst the chaos. Jensen was shaking, fists clenched. He wouldn’t hit a girl, would he? You thought to yourself.

The disruption threw the filming into disarray. Security arrived to diffuse the situation before Dee could respond. Your heart raced, caught between shame and indignation as Dee's accusations cast shadows over the day.

You locked your trailer after Dee's confrontation, turning off your phone and sinking into the quiet. A few people knocked, but eventually left you to fall asleep with your thoughts and tears, tearing yourself apart with self-doubt. The next morning, the set buzzed with its usual activity, but you felt like an outsider looking in, everyone's gaze making you feel smaller by the minute.

Overwhelmed by the drama and the impact on the production, you made a difficult decision. You approached the director's office, heart heavy with dread.

“Hey, can we talk privately?” you asked in a small voice, knocking on the open door.

“Sure. Close the door.” The director said, navigating his cluttered office, concern already on his face. “What’s up?”

"I can't play Raven anymore," you said, your voice steady despite the turmoil inside, threatening to leak from your eyes.

The director looked up, sadness replacing the concern on his features. "Y/N, I know tensions were high yesterday, but are you going to let your personal life and your professional career conflict each other? We could work something out if you just need a break."

You took a deep breath, considering his words carefully. The weight of everything—the accusations, the embarrassment, and the constant tension—was too much to bear. "I need to do this for my own sanity," you finally replied, passing him some papers with information on your updated address.

The director sighed, leaning back in his chair. "Alright, Y/N. If that's what you need, I’ll inform the cast and crew. Best of luck.”

You nodded, tears escaping and falling off your cheeks as you stood. "Thank you for understanding."

As you opened the door and stepped out to leave, you turned around. “Could you do me one favor? Tell who you absolutely need to, but please don’t tell Jensen where I’ve gone. I need to leave this behind me.”

He nodded in agreement after pondering your request.

As you walked away, you felt the weight of your decision settle in.

The production office buzzed with urgency as news of your departure rippled through the set. The director wasted no time informing the crew and a few key cast members about the repercussions of you leaving the show, making sure to imply that it was confidential. Writers got to work immediately, drafting new scripts to explain Raven's sudden disappearance in case they couldn't find a replacement quickly. The director worked tirelessly with the casting director, scrambling to find someone to fill the role. Unfortunately, everyone they had considered before you was now unavailable. _____

Jensen was called into the showrunners' office, the tension palpable.

"Jensen, your behavior on and off set is putting everything at risk," one of the showrunners began sternly. "I shouldn’t be telling you this, because frankly, it’s none of your goddamn business. Y/N has quit. Every possible replacement is now unavailable and needs to be resolved, and fast."

Jensen felt a knot tighten in his stomach. She left? Already? He knew he couldn’t see you after yesterday’s events because you probably wouldn’t have even talked to him, and he couldn’t blame you. The things Dee said were downright childish and awful. But he thought he’d at least have time to talk to you today.

The ruminations from yesterday repeated in Jensen’s head as he zoned out of the conversation at hand. The showrunner exchanged a glance with his colleague before continuing. "Pay attention, son," he said, breaking Jensen’s thoughts. "If we don't find a solution soon, we're looking at a significant production halt. The schedule and budget are already taking a hit. This is your responsibility to resolve or kiss your career goodbye."

Jensen's heart pounded. He wasn’t sure how he was going to do it but said, "I’ll fix this."

Leaving the office, Jensen tried to call you. “Hey, you’ve reached Y/N. I can’t get to my phone right now…” He hung up. “Damn it,” he whispered to himself. __________

The weight of recent events hung heavy as you quickly packed a bag, your mind made up to leave without informing anyone of your whereabouts. Changing your phone number was a necessary step; even the few texts you received were enough to set your anxiety ablaze. With a deep breath, you booked the first flight out of Vancouver to Washington, craving the solitude you hoped to find at your mother's home.

The flight was a blur of muted colors and soft hums, your thoughts too loud to allow for rest. At the airport, your mother waited with a stern expression, her eyes scanning you critically as you approached. The ride home was anything but quiet.

"You were supposed to do something with your life," she berated, her voice slicing through the tense silence. "You couldn't even keep your husband and kids alive, and now THIS. What the hell am I going to do with you now?"

Her words stung, each one a reminder of past pains and present failures. You looked out the window, letting her voice fade into the background as the familiar landscapes of Washington passed by.

The house came into view, a serene, isolated sanctuary surrounded by tall trees and blooming flowers. It was a place that could offer solace, despite the toxic presence of your mother. You took in the sight of the old home, the quiet beauty of it almost at odds with the turmoil inside.

Inside, the air was cool and still. Your room, untouched since your last visit, welcomed you with a kind of melancholic familiarity. The walls, painted in soft purple hues, offered a stark silence enveloping you like a comforting blanket.

For a moment, you stood there, allowing yourself to breathe, to feel. The memories of the set, the confrontation with Dee, and the harsh words from your mother swirled around you. Tears welled up again, even though it felt like you had nothing left to shed. You sat on the bed, briefly glancing at the end table. There, a photo of your last family picture with your late husband and kids sat. You fell to your knees. “What am I doing?! How did I let myself get so lost?” you whispered as you covered your face in your hands.

Your mother’s footsteps echoed down the hallway, a reminder of the challenges that still lay ahead. But for now, this quiet room wasn’t much, but it was a start.

You manage to crawl up on the bed, turning the photo face down. You closed your eyes, letting the silence wash over you into slumber. 

You awaken the next morning to the abrupt sound of your mother’s voice, sharp and unforgiving.The sun wasn’t even up yet as the clock read 4:17. She slams a tabloid and a printout on your bed, the noise jarring you fully awake.

"Look at this," she sneers, her eyes cold. "Can't even stay out of trouble, can you?"

Blinking away sleep, you sit up and glance at the tabloid headlines. The words leap off the page, each one more hurtful than the last. "Disgraced Actress," "Scandalous Affair," "Homewrecker" – the list goes on. Your heart sinks as you skim through the articles, each one painting you in the worst possible light. The term "whore" is used liberally, as if it’s the only thing that defines you now.

"I can’t believe they’d print this," you quietly mutter to yourself, the weight of the accusations pressing down on your chest. 

Your mother scoffs, her eyes narrowing. "You bring shame upon this family. What did you expect? Respect?" She gestures to the printout. "And look at this."

You pick up the sheet of paper, recognizing Misha's tweet:

"In shadows cast by whispered lies, a phoenix in the storm shall rise. Beyond the noise, her truth will soar, a beacon's light forevermore."

For a moment, the poetic words offer a sliver of comfort, but it’s quickly overshadowed by your mother's disdainful laugh. "Don’t you start thinking these people are your friends, Y/N. You don’t have any friends.”

You don’t respond, unable to find the words. The room feels suffocating, the walls closing in as the reality of your situation hits you again. 

Back on set, Jensen paces, frustration evident in his every step. He stops in front of Jared, his eyes searching for answers.

"You’ve got to see this," Jared says, his voice tight with anger.

Jensen nods, his jaw clenched. "FUCK. This has Dee written all over it. I’m trying to find out where Y/N went. Her former assistant said she caught a flight the day she quit, but no one knows where."

"Oh, and this doesn’t help matters, either." Jared hands Jensen his phone, showing him Misha's tweet.

Jensen reads it, his expression hardening. "Jesus. Is he talking about Dee or Y/N?"

Jared shrugs, his frustration mirroring Jensen's. "Who knows? This whole situation is a mess."

Jensen runs a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. "I need to find her. We need to fix this."

"You better hurry…," Jared mutters as Jensen stalks away, determination etched in every line of his face.

Back in Washington, the isolation of your mother's home offers no respite from the storm brewing outside. The tabloid articles and Misha’s tweet play on a loop in your mind, each one a reminder of the turmoil you’ve left behind.

Your mother’s critical gaze follows you as you move through the house, her comments biting and relentless.

You never expected things to escalate this quickly. The stress, the accusations, the relentless scrutiny had taken its toll. The walls closed in around you, suffocating you with their memories and relentless criticisms. You felt the familiar ache in your abdomen intensify, the telltale signs of your PCOS flaring up once more. Ignoring it seemed impossible this time.

In a blur, you found yourself in the back of an ambulance, your mother's voice a distant murmur beside you. Her charm was reserved for the medical staff, her narcissistic comments a constant undertone. "She's always been this way. So dramatic," you heard, drifting in and out of consciousness as the siren wailed.

Hours later, you were wheeled into the sterile confines of the Seattle Hospital, bright lights blurring overhead as medical jargon buzzed around you. Emergency surgery was the only option, they said, to save you from the excruciating pain and potential complications. As the anesthesia took hold, you clung to the last memory of Jensen wishing nothing more than to see him again.

_____

Jensen stormed into the director's office, his frustration palpable. His phone had buzzed with an urgent message, a cryptic call from an unknown number. "Seattle Hospital. Hurry." The words rang in his ears as he demanded answers.

"You know something about Y/N, don’t you?" Jensen's voice was urgent, eyes searching the director's face for any hint of news. "I don’t think she would just quit like that. Tell me what's going on." He slammed his fist on the desk. The director couldn’t help thinking about how very Dean-like he seemed.

The director hesitated, weighing his words carefully before sighing heavily. "Y/N has been hospitalized," he admitted finally, his tone grave. "It's serious, Jensen."

Outside the director's office, Jensen's mind raced. He dialed Jared and Misha frantically, relaying the dire news. "I need a car, a plane ticket, and where the hell is my passport!?" Jensen searched his backpack, urgency coloring every word. Jared's voice echoed concern as they coordinated a car to the airport.

"I know you weren't at the hospital the first time," Jared said, his voice tight with worry. "But PCOS and Endometriosis are rough, man. Misha and I did some research after she told us about her conditions."

It felt like hours, but he finally made it to WA. Jensen's arrival at the hospital was met with wide-eyed adoration from fans and stunned whispers from staff. "Oh my God, it's Jensen Ackles!" a teenage girl squealed, snapping pictures as he hurried to the nurse's station.

"Y/N. What room?" Jensen demanded, his voice cutting through the chaos.

"Room 308," the nurse replied, star-struck.

Taking the stairs two at a time, Jensen raced down the corridor, his heart pounding in his chest. 

Approaching the room, he paused, overhearing a conversation inside. It was Y/N's mother, her voice laced with disdain and cruelty. "They took your ovary," she sneered. "If you ask me, they should have taken it all."

Jensen's blood boiled as he listened to her venomous words, his protective instincts flaring. "You're a hussy and were an awful mother," her mother continued, reapplying her lipstick with a chilling nonchalance. "You could have enrolled them in private school. But nooooo, being Miss Better Than Everyone, had to homeschool them. As if you could have taught them better. Then to go an sleep around on your husband now. Pffft. I hope my little tabloid escapade shows you exactly how people feel about you."

After Jensen overhears Y/N's mother's hurtful comments, he steps into the hospital room just as Y/N begins to stir from anesthesia. ______

Despite your groggy state, your senses begin to sharpen as you overhear Jensen's voice, firm and unwavering, defending you against your mother's hurtful words. 

“YOU SOLD A STORY TO THE TABLOID?” Jensen’s booming voice made your mother jump as she faced him. “Because you don’t agree with her choices in life after EVERYTHING she’s been through? Based on what I’ve heard tonight, I completely understand why she has so many doubts and struggles trusting anyone.” “Why her husband would never speak to me like this. He…” she continued, flabbergasted by his defense. “HE is DEAD. And if HE had been any kind of a man, he most certainly would have put you in your place.” Jensen stepped closer to your mom with every word.

Security arrives amidst the commotion, but Jensen stands his ground, adamant about staying by your side. “If you need to remove anyone, remove her.” He bellowed. Security took your mother outside to give the situation some kind of resolve.

As you slowly wake from the anesthesia, the scene unfolds before your blurred vision. You feel a surge of conflicting emotions—gratitude for Jensen's protective presence, relief that he's here, but also vulnerability exposed by your mother's callousness. Your heart races making the machines beep furiously. 

With a trembling hand, you reach out weakly towards Jensen, your fingers seeking his warmth and reassurance. A silent plea for forgiveness. “Don’t speak, princess. Just listen,” he said to you, taking a seat as he held your hand. “I need you to come home.”

Question: So my question was, it's kind of a three parter -

Jared: Three farter?

Jensen: [rolls eyes] What are you, twelve?

Jared: [nods and smiles goofily at Jensen]

Question: What is your favorite role from your early acting days that you like the most or recommend slash which one did you get the most grief for when you did it?

Jared: Huh.

Jensen: Alec from Dark Angel was probably one that I wish I could have spent a little more time with. And the one that I probably wouldn't mind erasing is, um, [chuckles] Devour. Coulda done without that. But to be fair, that was - that movie was being written while we were film- rewritten while we were filming it. I'm like, I don't even know how this story ends. And we're shooting.

Jared: That goes back to the original question! About like, the process. [Referring to an earlier question where they talked about needing some pre-preparation and going in knowing what beats they had to hit but finding the nuances of scenes in the moment]

Jensen: Yeah, yeah.

Jared: You gotta know what you're doing before -

Jensen: Yeah, that was a bit of a, a bit of a mess up.

Jared: This is gonna be kind of a conglomeration of a few earlier questions and answers. I will say that one of my favorite roles was Gilmore Girls. [to Jensen when audience cheers] Finally fucking did something other than a boo. No, but I wish I knew then what I know now? I was a nervous kid, you know I was seventeen when I shot the first two episodes and I was used to doing, like, plays in school and so I think I kinda came in a little theatrical, you know, the technique of it, and I grew along the way. But it was a lot of fun, and it was a great learning experience of the five years that I worked on? And so everybody starts somewhere, and I kinda started there, and there are some scenes that are certainly - I went back and watched some of them, to try and remember what Dean Forrester was like before the A Day - A Year In the Life, the Netflix reunion series or whatever? And I watched and I was like, Oh, this is a good show! Oh, I suck. [Jensen cracks up] But I -

[audience members yell positive things]

Jared: Thank you, thank you. I appreciate you, y'all are great liars, thank you.

Jensen: No, they're not disagreeing with you, they're just saying you were adorable while you were sucking so bad.

Jared: [pretends to be an audience member] You got so much better! I'll take it. But that was a fun time.

Chapter 8

Previous Chapter

Next Chapter

The supporting actors that were with you in this scene, helped you a lot and because this was one of the episodes Rick was directing he was always by your side checking up on you.

As he approached you, you were getting ready for your next scene. He sensed your nerves and knew when you were trying to cover them up with humor.

“You will be great,” he confirmed not wanting to hug as you stood in your underwear." we have half the amount of crew and people on set”

“Thank god I'm not naked, no one would be here.” you tried to laugh trying to break the tension.

You looked at him and you saw he was worried.

“Rick,  I'm an actress,  this is my job.” you laughed again.

“Okay but I am right here with you,” he confirmed again

“I know, I appreciate it” you genuinely said.

For your next scene, you were to be hung up on a hook in the middle of the warehouse, the demons had torn your clothes away,  leaving you in your underwear, making sure they could see the torture that was inflicted on you.

As you stood in the middle of the room getting the rest of the blood and gashes put on, one of the supporting actors approached you “I know I have to get physical with you at some points,  but is there anything I can do that would make you more comfortable?” he asked politely.

“Hey,  just make it look believable, you are acting as much as I am, if not more, I  just have to hang there,  you have to do all the work.” you smiled at him. you both talked about what or what not you could do, then you heard the command “On your marks.”

You smiled at him "Good luck.” you said.

“And action” Rick shouted.

“Not so brave now are you hunter,” the demon pulled your hair so you could look at him.

“Fuck you.” you spat at him.

In return, he smacked you across the face. and taking his knife in his hand he slowly circled your anti-possession tattoo.

“One slash of this and we can easily take control of your body, every time we break you,  we can just pop in and heal you,  an endless cycle of fun” he laughed then plunged the knife into your tattoo causing you to roar in pain.

Jensen and Jared stood behind the scenes, they knew how these scenes could take a toll.

And cut, take it from the top” Rick shouted.

And you all reset the scene resulting in about four takes until he finally had the perfect scene.

You were given an hour to rest and eat before you had to head back again.

After the hour you were hooked back up again and the demon actor circled you again.

“How did this one become a hunter, look how fucking pathetic she is.” they laughed at you.

“Why the hell would Lucifer choose her?” another one sneered.

The first take of listening to this you could handle but you ended up shooting the same scene multiple times and into the next day that you finally got into your own head.

Finally when the warehouse scene was over you politely thanked the supporting actors and flinging the dressing gown around you,  you quickly made your way out the door. You needed a drink and you needed it bad.

You made your way to a driver that was not Clif,  as you know he would tell the boys you were on your way home. the man could read you like a book. And Jensen and Jared had a scene to film where they were searching for you so you didn’t want to worry them.

You jumped out of the car and thanked the driver. Grabbing the tequila bottle from the kitchen you made your way to your bathroom and slid down between the wall and the toilet annoyed at yourself you let yourself get to, well yourself.

Tears and disgust flooded your body. Your phone was vibrating out of control somewhere and you just wished the annoying noise would stop.

You didn’t even hear the front door slam open or didn’t notice the light being turned on in your bathroom.

“What the fuck Y/N” Jensen yelled at you, but when seeing you he immediately dropped to his knees in front of you.

“Y/N” he whispered gently,  but you stared into space,  making no sign that you heard him.

“Y/N” He touched your shoulder this time your eyes slowly made your way to his.

“Hey,” you slurred quietly.

“Hi pretty girl, are you okay?” he asked.

“Of course, I am an actor.” you smiled tearfully taking another drink from the bottle.

Jensen took his phone out of his pocket and you heard him faintly say "I got her,  she's home.”

Jensen tried to get your attention “Look at me” He pulled your face towards him and his heart broke at the sight of you.

“You don’t have to be here Jensen,  I’m okay on my own.” you wept “Please go away before I get you in trouble." tears falling down your face pushing him away “I never meant to get you in trouble I promise " your head rolled to the side.

Jensen grabbed your head making you look at him “I know sweetheart,  I promise I know." He knew exactly what you were talking about.

You forced your head out of his hands and leaned on the wall. “I want Jared” you sobbed “Not you."

Jensen’s heart broke “I know you hate me Y/N,  but I promise the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you, ” he then stood up so he could get Jared.

In your drunken state, you spat “I don’t hate you, Jensen,  I never have,  it’s actually quite the opposite. But I’m not a home wrecker I'm not that type of person no matter what everyone thinks about me.”

You took another sip from the bottle only this time Jensen took it off you.

“Sweetheart no one thinks that,” he promised.

“I thought I was over my past how pathetic I am. All I could hear was everyone I knew saying those things.” you cried hard.

“You are not pathetic, far from it your amazing and we all think so, but please let me get you off the floor and into bed” he pleaded.

You gave in and let him carry you to your bed. You sobbed heavily and he brushed the hair from your face. " I promise Y/N,  we all love you and one day you will see you how we see you.” he kissed your forehead before heading back into the living room grabbing a bag and some water and filling Jared in.

Jensen lay beside you listening to your soft sobs and when you were finally asleep he closed his eyes promising himself he would never let you down again.

[explainslowly]

it is fun to contemplate like the, fandom significance of ships, looking at that poll, significant ones seem to me as:

Spock/Kirk OBVIOUSLY

Mulder/Scully again, obviously.

Watson/Sherlock kind of cosmically, generally, has to be there right? Sherlock Holmes obviously has fandom significance outside of shipping primarily.

OK, controversial one but - do we think any Harry Potter ship makes it? Was any one ship specifically significant? Or was it the general vibe? And the bloody shipwars, of course. I am a wolfstar guy but wolfstar does not feel significant to me. Nor Drarry nor the het ships that had people sending death threats to each other.

Larry OBVIOUSLY

Jack Harkness/Ianto I remember this one making people soooo insane. Example of ship that is both canon and significant, imo. Perhaps for it's canonicity.

10th doctor/Rose probably. IDC.

Jensen/Jared might belong here. Unfortunately. For originating both the omegaverse and the original male dog tag on ao3. For the sheer evil energy.

Reylo search your heart you know it to be true.

Those Les Miserables twinks. Probably? Maybe. IDK. Discuss.

I don't think any MCU ship makes it, but tbf if any would, it would be stucky.

I am paradoxically very removed from anime shipping. If any made it probably Sasunaru would be the one. I feel like anime shipping has it's own world that does not communicate with live media fandom. Therefore the significance is like. Shrug.

Girl where is Xena/Gabrielle. GIRLLLLLLLL.

Carlos/Cecil probably, right? The breaking open of the fiction podcast flood.

With heavy heart I have to say, probably not Proffesor X/Magneto. Even if they sooo divorced and we are missing divorce representation in this poll.

I don't think Klaine was significant as a fandom thing. Case of canon giving you pretty much all you could possibly want from a romance storyline and then possibly a bunch of stuff you didn't, lol.

Destiel this, more than anything, is the Destiel website. 113k fics on ao3, baybee.

Will/Hannibal I don't know. I'm torn. It's so good and Fannibals are little freaks. But I feel like they are doing their own thing in their little corner.

Sam/Frodo - or some tolkien shit? Probably?

I am like under-studied on rpf ships (more probably belong here) and femslash. The poll itself also has heavy recency bias as does my memory (I wasn't a shipper until my mid twenties). See my confusion about tolkien shit.

Consolation prize #1 - migratory slash fandom - hiiii Sterek, Rodney/John, Phlint, etc, I hate youuuu alllllll <3

Consolation prize #2 - pair the spares - hiiiii shit like Sabriel, you make my eyes bleed <3

Anyway, feel free to discuss <3

[winchesterish]

Prev anon here. First, I thought destiel WAS CANON because cas says “i love you” so the show acknowledges the ship. But because dean doesnt say it back, its not canon and they hate the show? Why can’t they be happy ugh. Secondly, they think Jared is homophobic because he doesn’t ship destiel? uuuugh nothing makes sense

Hi Anon! from Jared & Jensen's own words it was a platonic declaration of love, only Misha & his base took it as romantic. So no, not canonically gay or Dean SLASH Castiel. Just friendship, and while I don't have an issue with the ship or taking it as a romantic declaration, it's the bulk of the shippers that make it insufferable. And yes, essentially they think Jared, one of the biggest supporters of LGBTQIA+ youth in Texas who's also a notorious help and donator for the cause is homophobic. Even though he's repeatedly supported fans headcanoning Sam as gender fluid, trans, etc. Basically they just hate Sam, and Jared by extension, because he and Dean's (and Jensen's too, tbh) got in the way of their ship and the way they wanted the show to go.
