fic: all the stars above our heads (j2, pg-13)  
Title: all the stars above our heads
Author: _mournthewicked
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~ 9,000
Warnings: Schmoop, snark. The usual.
Disclaimer: Look up fiction in the dictionary. You won’t find a picture of this story, but the definition of the word ‘fiction’, which this is.

Summary: Jared's a slightly jaded hot air balloon pilot, and Jensen's the guy with the fear of heights that's too cheap to let the gift certificate he won in a raffle go to waste.

Notes: This is an idea that just wouldn't leave me alone, so I had to get it out. This is for my beloved obstinatrix's birthday, which was technically last week, but better late than never! Thanks to the always wonderful kamikaze_redux for the beta. ♥

[pdf version]

Jared's earliest memory is of the sky.Collapse )

Oh my god! This completely just made my fucking day!! There is absolutely nothing I don't love about this fic! The love at first sight bit was adorable. My face hurts from smiling so hard just at that moment.

And then oh god, MISHA. HE WAS AMAZING! Adorable and a complete ass. Best friend ever! XD Genevieve was brilliant and I wanted to hug her too dammit! I love when authors use Gen or Danneel as the best friends instead of the convenient bitch character. They work so much better this way!!!! :D

The hot air balloon idea was fantastic too! I've never read a fic with that as a premise before. It was original and AWESOME and made everything even better. The SCHMOOP alone was just...gah!

I LOVE THIS!

So sweet meeting on a balloon very romantic such a nice first meeting story. So sad for Jared when he mentioned his dad but now he has Jensen he'll be fine. Gorgeous.

I love everything you write!! What I love most is the dialogue between the characters, it's so wonderful!!

Laugh out loud moment:

“You can’t bring a bucket of chicken to a first date!”

“It’s a box of chicken,”

Ha ha!!

Wonderful wonderful story!! Thank you so much!!!
miss california.: [spn] dean - so this is desperation._mournthewicked on August 3rd, 2011 08:01 pm (UTC)

This is everything you promised it would be -- sweet and bantery. Jesus, Jared and Jensen are totally MFEO in, like, every conceivable universe! ♥ Awesome job!

That was so adorable! I've totally been lurking on twitter and reading about this for like the last week, and when I saw that it was posted I did a little happy dance. It was just so cute.

I loved the setting of air balloons, (so unusual and a breath of fresh air)) and how it was an obstacle but not a huge, superdramatic issue- -- for either boy. They both had issues but not to the point where it froze either into inaction. Fun and compelling! Thanks!

Aw, thanks so much for the lovely comment!

Perfect. Made me want to fly. Last line was beautiful. The slow build, the humor, the romance. Sigh.
miss california.: [spn] dean - look away from me._mournthewicked on August 3rd, 2011 08:05 pm (UTC)
That's so sweet! Thank you.

That was so cute <3
I'm not afraid of heights in general, but I'm not sure what to think about a balloon ride.

Gesundheit
You really say that in the States? That's so awesome *linguistic geek moment*

Gen was awesome. Now I want to read a J2 caterer!AU :D
miss california.: [spn] dean - going native._mournthewicked on August 3rd, 2011 08:06 pm (UTC)
Thanks so much, bb! I think that, like Jensen, I'd go if it was free and was offered to me, but I wouldn't seek it out. And yep, we say gesundheit out here sometimes when people sneeze. :D

So... I read this a few days ago and it was so cute. I just wanted to print it out and make a blankie out of it so I could wrap it around me when it's cold.

I love the sky metaphors and the flames and the picnic (Brushetta's fancy? LOL!) and I'm pretty sure there's a fart joke in there somewhere- you're a bigger person than I am for not making it, and for not titling this 'Up, Up and Away'!

So sweet.

miss california.: [spn] castiel - _mournthewicked on August 3rd, 2011 08:14 pm (UTC)
I love everything about this comment. :D

I figured for this Jared and Misha, who rarely eat anything that doesn't come out of a carboard container, would think bruchetta was fancy. :P

Thanks so much for commenting!

fishgirl52fishgirl52 on July 24th, 2011 03:26 am (UTC)
