<<--Back to Part Eight

A/N:So, here it is. The end. This part was the shortest but the hardest to write. I have endingophobia. Final word count, 86,022. So, I can't make any predictions. I just really hope you like it. Many thanks to my cowriter, captcrashsc and to ysbail for the banner. This last part is not beta'd. Surprise!

<<--Back to Part Two

( Life is not what I thought it was... )

A/N: For those of you who are interested, I actually grew up eating milk macaroni. It's exactly what it sounds like. Make elbow macaroni, drain, stir in milk, onions, salt and pepper. Real poor man's food. I loved it, but I've never been able to convince anyone who wasn't raised on it to give it a try.

Part Four (Unlocked!)

<<--Back to Part One

( Spirit, take me. )



Part Three

A/N: I'm glad a few people seem to enjoy this, and I apologize for the confusion. I had in the master post that I'd be unlocking one part per day, but that info didn't make it to the chapter header. I realize it's a waste of time to crosspost every single time I unlock an entry, so I won't be posting to the comms again until after all nine parts are unlocked. (Who knows, I might unlock some early if I get them fixed the way I want them.) This does NOT need that you need to friend this journal to read the entries. It just means you need to pop back in here once a day to see if I've unlocked the next part yet. I'll try to remember to set the date on the post so the most recent one goes to the top.

Also, if you've already friended me since I started posting this, please let me know if that was just to read the locked the entry (which doesn't work, because it's set to Private.) I usually friend people back readily, but I think a few of you were just confused by the locked post. I don't mind if you want to stay, but I don't post fic under flock, usually, so I would never ask people to friend me to read fic. You might find me abrasive, LOL.

I'll crosspost to the comms when all the parts are up and unlocked. If you wanna wait until then to pop back in, that's fine. If not, a new part will still be unlocked every day. You just have to come and find it.

Title: The Second Man (86,022+ words, Complete in 9 parts)
Authors: tru_faith_lost and captcrashsc
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.)
