It’s been a long time and I’m deeply sorry. My husband was going through a lot of mental health issues and he ended up committing suicide. It’s taken me a few years to go through some grieving and I’m slowly starting to get back onto my pages. Please forgive me. Hoping to start updating stories soon as well as starting new ones.Â
Hey everyone! I didn't forget about my stories, things have been hectic on my end and I haven't had a chance to sit down and write but I'm hoping to get both of my reader insert stories updated soon. Thank you for being patient. I know I suck.

[Catch up here]
As the two of you kissed you felt relieved that you had brushed your teeth back at the hotel while you were packing your things. His lips felt softer than you thought they would – now that you were actually paying attention. “Could you go grab my bag?” You pulled away and asked him, “So I can change into something to swim in.” Your lips reconnected and you put your hands on his chest to push him back slightly.
Jared laughed, “All right, all right, I'm goin'.” He went outside to his car and grabbed your suitcase to bring in the house. He put it down on the couch and watched you as you dug through the clean clothes. You found those red panties and a white sports bra. Turning your gaze to him you motioned to the clothes in your hand and he took the hint, leaving the room and heading back to the kitchen.
It took you no time at all to get your dress and undergarments off. You left them in a small pile in front of the couch and slipped on new panties and bra. When you were done you walked to the kitchen but you didn't see him. “Jared?” You called out, but there was no answer. Moving further into the kitchen you spotted movement outside of the window so you started over to the sink and peered out, smiling when you saw Jared already in the pool. Taking the opportunity to collect your thoughts you walked over to the table and sat down where you had that morning during breakfast. Spending time with Jared so far had been fun, but you were hesitant to take things further. You didn't know for a fact that's what Jared wanted, but why else would he still have you around if he wasn't trying to get in your pants? Not wanting him to think something was wrong you took a deep breath and started outside after a few minutes.
“There you are,” he said after coming to the surface of the water, “I was startin' to think you were in there robbin' me.”
You let out a chuckle and sat down on the edge of the pool letting your feet hang in the water, “And yet you stayed out here so if I was robbing you all of your stuff surely would have been gone because you suck.” You stuck your tongue out at him and he splashed some water on you, “Hey! That's cold!” You protested, trying to cover your body with your arms.
The man laughed and swam closer to you, “You're the one who brought up swimmin’, Y/N, you can't swim sittin' on the ledge,” before you could say anything Jared grabbed you and pulled you into the water with him.
The cold water stung your skin and when your head came back up you groaned unhappily, “You're a mean, mean man.” You pushed your hair back out of you face and kicked your legs under the water to stay afloat.
He splashed water at you for a second time, “I am not,” even as he said it he had a smirk across his face.
“I beg to differ,” Y/N said and started swimming away from the man. You heard him ask where you were going as you felt his hand grip your ankle causing you to stop and look back at him. “See, like I said, mean.” You stuck your tongue out and tried to get away but it was no use. Jared was a lot stronger than you and he pulled you back to him with ease. He pulled your leg around his waist, making you have to do the same with the other, and even though he wrapped his arms around you, you kept your arms crossed in front of you.
“Don't pout,” he said with a grin, “You're too beautiful to look sad.”
Rolling your eyes you let out a scoff, “What exactly are your intentions with me?” You asked him boldly with a raised brow. You hated how your body was reacting to him and it was making it more difficult to stay fake mad at him.
The man's grin grew wider, his tongue exiting his mouth to moisten his lips, “Isn't it obvious?”
Mixed emotions filled you. Of course you found Jared Padalecki sexy and of course you've fantasized about something like this scenario a million times, but you never in a million years actually thought you'd end up living your fantasy.  “I didn't realize you were the type to hook up with strange women,” your voice had a slight disappointed tone to it and his smile faded.
“I'm sorry to disappoint you,” he said and let you go, “But just so you know, I don't normally do this.”
You felt like that line was something someone who did normally do it would say, but you didn't want to cause any tension when he still needed to drive you to the airport later. You didn't know what to say, but you wanted to lighten the mood back up so you smirked and splashed some water in his direction.
Jared hadn't been paying attention so the water startled him and he turned back to you, “Now who's being mean?”
Y/N shrugged, “I don't know what you're talking about.” This time you were able to swim away and he laughed as he debated whether or not he wanted to follow you. “What's the matter? Can't keep up because I bruised your ego?” Your sharp tongue had gotten you into trouble in the past, but so far it seemed to be a trait Jared liked.
“You're somethin' else,” he chuckled and started chasing after you. Y/N managed to keep dodging him, but then you felt his hands wrap around your waist as he pulled your back into his chest. “Gotcha,” he gloated.
You relaxed against him, “Maybe I let you get me,” Y/N challenged. You still weren't sure what you wanted to happen, but you also weren't ready to stop whatever was going on. One of his hands rested flat against your bare stomach as the other one moved to your face. He nudged your chin to turn your head back so you could see him a little better. Without warning his lips crashed into yours causing you to let out a small moan. Damn you body for betraying me you thought to yourself.
“We don't have to do anythin' you don't wanna do,” he reassured you before kissing you again. You turned around in his embrace and wrapped your arms around his neck; his hands now cupping your ass. Your legs once again wrapped around his waist and he held you against him while your tongues danced in his mouth.
Feeling his erection against you made you more excited and you knew you wouldn't be able to resist him for much longer. “I want to,” breathless words managed to escape your lips. His kissing became more intense once he knew things were headed in that direction and he moved you both through the water until your back was against the wall.
“We aren't fuckin' in the pool,” the man told you between kisses and finally he lifted you up and sat you down on the ledge and then pulled himself up out of the water. Taking your hand he led you back to the house, not caring about the water you were both dripping on the floor as you made your way upstairs. Once you reached the master bedroom his lips were back on you, but this time your neck. His lips moved down your body and he placed several kisses on your skin above your sports bra. Because it was wet it was a little hard to take off, but with your assistance the white fabric was now on his bedroom floor. He took a step back to admire you and you saw him lick his lips. Having him stare at you like that made you nervous and even though you wanted to hide your body you didn't.
“Jared, you here?” Both of you looked at each other at the sound of the familiar voice and you froze.
“Shit!” He moved you away from the door where you had been standing against and he quickly stepped out of the room leaving you alone behind the closed door.
All of your clothes were downstairs and you knew you wouldn't be able to get back into your bra so you went over to his dresser and found a shirt you could put on. Since he was so tall the shirt fit you like a dress and you chuckled at yourself in the mirror. Taking a deep breath you picked up your discarded bra and opened the door. As you walked down the stairs you could hear talking in the kitchen and you were thankful you were able to go to the living room undetected to change into your own clothes. You changed your panties and slipped on a pair of jeans then looked at your shirt choices before deciding to keep Jared's shirt on. When your suitcase was zippered back up you slowly walked down the hall to the kitchen and stopped at the doorway.
“You must be the slut who's sleeping with my husband,” Genevieve greeted you the second she saw you.
“Nice to meet you too,” you retorted. You didn't think it was possible but your day had just gotten a lot weirder. You looked over at Jared and his apologetic gaze wasn't lost on you. “I'll let you two be,” you started for the fridge, “Just a little thirsty.” After grabbing a bottle of water you went back to the living room and sat down. You didn't know what else to do but sit there and listen to the man you almost had sex with fighting with his wife who he was supposed to be separated from. What did you get yourself into, Y/N?”

Summary: Y/N accepts a live in nanny position before she realizes who she’ll be working for.
Taking care of children was all you had ever been good at so when it came time to leave the family you had been working with for four years you were sad. You put off looking for a new job longer than you should have and now you were forced to reach out to an agency to help you find one. They set up a few interviews, but none of them were the right fit, which made today's interview that much more important. This was the final interview the agency was able to book for you and if this didn't go well you had no idea what you were going to do. It wasn't like you had experience doing anything else so who would hire you? Besides, kids you were good at, kids you could work with, and you hoped this family would see that.
All you knew about this family was that they were well known. The agency wouldn't tell you their names beforehand and you wondered who it could be. You thought about Googling all the wealthy families in the city, but you didn't want to psych yourself out. When it came time to leave your apartment you made sure you had everything you needed and looked at yourself one more time in the mirror. You wanted to look professional, but you also wanted to look like you were ready to jump in with the kids if you had to and you thought your dark jeans and black top did the trick.
The drive was long, but it was peaceful. You blasted your music and sang along with your favorite songs to keep you calm and by the time you were pulling into the driveway you felt more than ready to crush this interview. You grabbed your bag and got out of the car and started to the door. All your nerves were still there, but you were choosing to ignore them as you pushed the doorbell and waited.
“Hi, you must be,  Miss Y/L/N, please come in!” The woman who answered the door looked very familiar, but you couldn't place where you knew her from.
“Yes, Y/N Y/L/N,” you said and reached for her hand to shake it once you were in the house.
She shook your hand back, “I'm Danneel, it's nice to meet you, sweetie.” Danneel....Danneel...you knew that name.  “My husband's runnin' a little late, I hope you don't mind talkin' with just me.” She said and led you to the spacious living room.
You sat down on the couch and shook your head, “Of course I don't mind.”
“Why don't you tell me a little somethin' 'bout you?” The woman said.
You always hated this question because you never knew how to start talking about yourself. You were never good at selling yourself which was probably why those other interviews didn't pan out. “Well,” you began, “I'm twenty-eight, I've been taking care of kids since I was ten and became a professional nanny when I was nineteen. I'm first aid and CPR certified for all age groups, including infants.” You hoped talking about your qualifications and experience would be a good start.
Danneel smiled at you, “Mm, I read that all on your resume,” you wondered if her tone meant she was unimpressed. “What are some things about you though? What do you like to do for fun when you're not workin'?”
Personal questions were probably your least favorite, but you understood that it took a level of trust for a parent to leave their child with someone and if they were going to trust you they needed to know you. “When I'm not working I'm not usually doing anything too exciting. I watch a lot of Netflix...read a lot of books...” You trailed off with a shrug and turned your head when you saw a little girl come into the room.
“Hi!” She ran over to you excitedly, “I'm JJ. You're pretty. Can you do my hair like yours?” The toddler pointed to your braid.
“Hi, JJ, I'm Y/N. Thank you, you're very pretty too. You want a braid in your hair?” You glanced over at Danneel to see if it was okay and saw her nod with a smile. “Can you turn around for me, hon?” JJ did as you asked and you opened your bag to look for a brush and hair elastic. When you found what you were looking for you started brushing out the girls hair and separating it into the three sections you'd need. In no time her hair was braided and secured with the black band. “All done.”
“I wanna see!” She demanded and ran over to her mom. “Take picture, Mama!” JJ was practically jumping.
Danneel started to laugh, “All right, relax, it ain't goin' anywhere.” She picked up her phone and took a few pictures to show her daughter. “Do you like it baby?”
“Love it!” JJ came back over to you and jumped onto your lap giving you a hug, “Thank you, Y/N.”
“You're welcome, JJ. I'm happy you're happy.” You noticed the toddler looking at your bag before she backed away and looked at your face again.
“Do you have anything fun in there?” The little girl asked.
“JJ...” Danneel started, but you held up your hand and shook your head.
“It's okay, this is my nanny bag..some people even call it the Barney bag,” you laughed at the reference from one of your favorite childhood shows. Opening the bag you looked for something that JJ could play with and found a Barbie. “Do you want to play with her?” She took the doll from you and sat on the floor to play.
When you heard the cries of a baby your head instinctively looked around for the source. Danneel stood up, “That's one of the twins would you like to meet them too?” She asked you and you nodded. Standing up you looked down at the toddler playing on the floor, “She'll be good there for a few minutes,” the woman reassured you. “JJ, don't move until we get back, okay?”
“Okay, Mama,” she girl never looking away from the doll.
Danneel led you down the hall to what looked like a guest room with a pack and play in front of the bed. There were two babies in the portable crib one was crying and the other was still sleeping. Danneel picked up the crying one and walked back toward the hall – you assumed so the other baby wouldn't wake up. “This is Arrow, she always wakes up first.”
“Hi, Arrow,” you cooed, “I like the name, it's different.”
She smiled, “Thank you. My husband and I like different. Her twin brother's name is Zeppelin.”
“That's awesome.”
Forty minutes later you were finishing up feeding Arrow while Danneel was finishing feeding Zeppelin. It was almost like he sensed he was being talked about and woke up a few minutes after his sister. While Danneel tended to her boy, you helped by changing Arrow and bringing her back to the living room so JJ wouldn't be alone. Danneel brought you a bottle and you sat on the couch contently as you fed the baby girl.
“You're a natural,” You were glad that Danneel seemed happy with what you had been doing so far.
“It's easy to be good at something when it's something you love.” Kids were always part of your plan, but since you lacked someone to have them with you were forced to get your fix by taking care of other people's children. One day you hoped you'd have your own to raise, but for now this was your life and you accepted it.
“I think this is gonna work out nicely.” She said and you looked at her a little shocked.
“You mean I got the job?” If you hadn't been holding a baby you probably would have done a happy dance, but then thinking about it more you were glad you weren't able to make an idiot out of yourself.
“If you still want it then I'd love if you'd come work for us. The girls already love you and I'm sure he will too,” she motioned to Zeppelin who you had yet to hold or interact with. “I think you're the right fit for us. I'm not sure how much your last job paid, but I hope $700 a week is okay.”
Your eyes grew when you heard that number. “Seven hundred?” You repeated, wanting to make sure you heard her correctly. “No, that's great, thank you.” That was more than you currently made so you weren't about to say anything else. Three kids would be a lot of work anyway, especially two babies.
“Great! We'll get you all moved in this weekend. We'll take that playpen out of the room down the hall and that'll be yours.”
“What do you mean move in?”
“We're lookin' for a live in nanny...the agency didn't tell you?” Danneel's face fell as she realized you might not take the job.
“No, they didn't.” Your apartment was small and if you had to commute here everyday it would have eaten up a lot of your gas. Maybe living in this giant house wouldn't be a bad thing. “I've never been a live in nanny before, but I'm sure it'll be fine.” You decided in that moment to keep your apartment for now though in case the job didn't work out. You still had time on your lease anyway so for now you'd suck it up and pay for an apartment you wouldn't be staying at.
Once all the details were settled it was time for you to leave for now. Danneel apologized a few more times for her husband's absence, but promised you'd meet him over the weekend when you moved in. You drove home feeling elated. You had a new job and you were about to move into a fancy house. You couldn't wait to call your mom and tell her. At a red light you plugged your iPod in and hit shuffle. The first song that played was Carry on My Wayward Son and you were halfway through the song when you suddenly stopped singing and stared at the moving road in front of you. “Holy shit!” It finally hit you, “Danneel Ackles...JJ Ackles...Arrow and Zeppelin Ackles...” you said aloud to the air. “The husband who didn't make it today is Jensen Ackles...I'm going to be working for and living with Jensen Ackles. Holy shit!”

The car ride back to the hotel was silent and you couldn't shake the feeling he was disappointed. You didn't know what to do when he kissed you, so you stood there not reacting. Your brain was having a hard time catching up to what was happening and before it caught up he had pulled away looking slightly hurt and embarrassed. Jared apologized and the two of you went to his car.
“I take it you don't live around here?” His voice causing you to jump, “Sorry,” he said with a small chuckle.
“It's okay,” you began and cleared your throat. “I don't. I live in the States.”
“Which one?” He was trying to make conversation and you appreciated that he wasn't taking about what happened in his house, but you still felt weird talking about yourself.
“I was always told not to give personal information to strangers.” Your mother would be proud if she heard you right now, “But I will say that I'm from New England.”
“So I have to guess out of the six? Makes it a lot easier than havin' to guess out of all fifty.” The man laughed and soon he was pulling into the parking lot to the hotel.
“You could try to guess, but I don't know if I'd tell you even if you guessed correctly.” Once the car was in park you took off your seat belt and turned to look at him. “This entire weekend was pretty awesome. It was my dream to come to a convention and it was only that much better because you guys let me hang out last night. I'll never forget this trip, thank you.” You smiled and reached for the door. By the time you were shutting the door Jared was running around the car over to you.Â
“Let me help,” he offered.
“Help with what?”
He laughed, “You said you had a weeks worth of packing to do, let me help you. We'll get you good to go in no time. They'll charge you if you don't check out in time.”
You took your phone out of your purse and looked at the time. He was right, they would charge, and you only had fifty minutes now. “I'm sure I would've been fine if that train hadn't stopped traffic for twenty minutes,” you half complained as the two of you walked toward the hotel door.
“Why are you still talking about that?” He egged you on.
“Because it stopped moving! The gates come down, the train passes through, the gates go up and people go on with their lives. The gates came down, the train slowly crawled through and then just stopped. Places to be, things to do!” By the time you were done ranting about part of the car ride from his house you two were standing in front of the elevator and he had just pushed the button. You looked at each other and he smirked. “What?” You asked him. Jared shook his head, but the smile remained on his lips. Once back in your room you looked around at the giant mess you had made. “I wish I could say this was a one time deal, but I'm a bit of a slob.” You told him and started throwing away old take out containers.
You asked him to help pick up the clothes that were all over everywhere and he was sorting them into clean and dirty piles. While he was doing that you went into the bathroom and packed up all of your sundries. “Is this clean or dirty?” Jared held up a pair of red panties and you couldn't help but notice the small blush in his cheeks.
“Clean,” you replied, “Never got the chance to wear those.”
“Shame, I bet they look good on.”
Even though Jared had been doing that all night and now all day, and you knew you were doing it back, you were still having a hard time wrapping your mind around the fact Jared Padalecki was flirting with you. “I've never had any complaints.”
Having Jared's help meant that you finished with time to spare and you were grateful that you could plop down on the bed and rest for a moment. He moved your luggage over by the door so he could help you with it when it was time to leave the room and then he came to sit next to you.
“Thank you, again, Jared.” You let yourself fall backwards so you were staring at the ceiling. “I can't believe I head back home in a few hours.” Up until now you hadn't thought about your flight home. You knew you had to leave the hotel but now remembering you had to go home made it even harder. Soon you'd be getting up every day and going back to work. Living a normal, boring life while everything that had happened during your week in Vancouver would become a distant memory.
“It wasn't anything,” he reassured you, “I liked getting to spend more time with you. I could drive you to the airport too...if you want.”
Shifting your head to look at him you wondered why he had taken such an interest in you but you didn't know if you wanted to ask just yet. Instead you smiled and nodded, “Sure, that'd be great.” Looking at your phone again you saw you had twenty minutes before you had to check out and even though you could have left then you decided you were too content to move.
A half hour later the two of you were back in Jared's car and driving away from the hotel. “What time do you need to be at the airport?” He asked you.
“Uh...” you took out your phone to bring up your flight information. “Oh, not for awhile. I thought my flight was at 1pm but it's actually at 11pm.”
“So we have time to hang out?” He seemed excited.
“Yeah, I guess we do.” What was happening to your life right now?
“Sweet,” he turned his directional on and made a left hand turn, “Lets go back to my place then.”
You felt your cheeks turning pink, “What for?”
“I helped you clean up your mess, time for you to help clean up mine.” The party from the night before had still been evident all over his house that morning and you felt bad when you had left earlier.
“Fine, but if I find any throw up or used condoms I'm calling it a day and going to swim in your pool instead.” You retorted.
Jared let out a chuckle but didn't say anything. It took less time to get back to his house than it had taken to get to the hotel and as soon as you got back you saw the mess was already cleaned up. There was a note left in Jared's kitchen from Rob saying he and the other members of the band had come over to clean up since it was their party and left a fifty dollar bill for some damage to something. “Guess we have time to go swimming now after all,” Jared showed you the note.
“I was only kidding before...I don't have a swim suite.” You hadn't thought to bring one with you, which was a stupid idea, but you never thought you'd have time for swimming during your trip and up until this very moment you had been right.
“Wear those red panties,” his eyes were full of lust as he stared you down, he licked his lips at, what you assumed, was the thought of you in said red panties.
“What are we doing?” You finally asked and his smile started to fade.
“We're going swimmin,” was his response and he walked closer to you. “Do you know how beautiful you are? When I saw you I swear I couldn't breathe. Your beauty knocked the wind right outta me. Rob asked you to the party because I wouldn't stop talking about you.”
His confession was shocking to you, but you let him speak until he was done. “You think I'm beautiful?” Was all you could get out.
“Stunning,” his lips were once again on yours, but this time your body reacted.
A year ago I read a post shitting all over self-inserts and Mary Sues, trashing them for being “poor writing” or too self-indulgent. And I thought to myself, what’s the damn harm? If you’re not trying to reshape the future of literature with self-inserts, then who the heck are you hurting? So I introduced Self Insert Week 2016 - a week where people were encouraged to shove themselves into WHATEVER fandom, to just have fun with it. Let’s do it again!
SELF-INSERT WEEK 2017
What is it?
Just a fun reason to make ourselves into the awesome characters we daydream up while going about our normal lives! Through the week people will be encouraged to post self-insert fic and fanart under the tag “Self Insert Week 2017.” The only rule is that you’re the main character!
When is it?
The week will be the second in May, May 7th - May 13th.
Do I have to sign up to participate?
Nope! Last year I got a lot of messages asking for rules or specific fandoms, and that’s not the point of this exercise. You make this week into what you want it to be; fanart, fanfics, mood boards, cosplay, whatever you want! I don’t “run” it, I’m just kicking it off (which isn’t to say you can’t reach out to me for any reason).Â
Will there be a master post?
Naaaah last year so many people participated that I’d have to be nuts to commit to making one. Just tag it “Self Insert Week 2017″ and everyone can browse your work!
So sort yourself into your favorite Hogwarts house and win the House Cup! Design yourself as a sick as fuck Overwatch hero! Make yourself a rad space explorer and romance a turian! This week is for YOU, have fun!
