Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Jensen/Jared
Summary: A rewrite of the movie Overboard. Jared's wealthy and wound too tight, and his parents seem intent on keeping him that way. Jensen's the oldest of four unruly siblings who lost their parents four years ago. Things keep slipping through his fingers no matter how hard he works to keep them together. When Jared's parents manage to ruin the last thing that Jensen has for himself, right before their son washes up on the beach with amnesia, Jensen's lifelong friend and Bear Creek town Sheriff, Christian Kane, takes it upon himself to get some payback. Jensen's sure he's not gay, and Jared's sure he's never lived at the end of Ackles Rd, but somehow their made up life together makes more sense than their actual lives apart. (They're about the same age.)

There are two ways to read. The livejournal version will be text only. It will be simultaneously posted on Dreamwidth in this community:

up_in_arms. The Dreamwidth posts will contain muzicons that play suggested music selections as you read. You can click them or not click them, as is your preference. However, the volume on the muzicons seems to be set quite loud, and they don't work for all readers. We suggest you click on the muzicon below to test and turn down your speakers to keep music at a suitable background level before you attempt to read the story with the music. Also, depending on your reading speed and song length, songs might overlap in a few places.

All comments will be routed to the Livejournal posts.
