[welcometololaland]

does anyone else get that vibe where you're holding chapter 1 of a rogue, 11 chapter AU so tightly in your Google docs and you really love it but you're scared to post it because you're scared of seeing it fail?

Summary: Jensen Ackles led a great life. It just wasn’t the one he planned on. Now he’s newly single, stuck at a job he hates, and sharing an apartment with his lovably psychotic best friend. When he’s given the chance to go back and do it all over again, he leaps at it. Only he soon comes to realize that no matter what’s in front of him, it’s impossible to leave the past behind. Considering what he’d be giving up, he might not even want to. (17 again j2 style)

Superheroes suck, or, the unfortunately extraordinary life of Jensen Ackles

by Cleflink

Word Count: 33,055

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/468711

Summary: Jensen hates superheroes. Having grown up with not one, but two of them in the family, he's more than aware of just how much having a spandex-clad alter ego can cock up the rest of your life. Luckily, his own powers tend towards the more passive, hippie florist side of things which - while embarrassing - means that all that superhero crap is someone else's problem. Or it would, if not for the frequent interference of superhero-obsessed friends, hostage situations, hotshot new superheroes and irritating relatives. Not to mention a boyfriend who has the uncanny ability to go missing whenever bad things are going down somewhere else in the city. Sometimes, Jensen's life is kind of bullshit.

The beat of our noisy hearts

Summary: In a world where heartbreak is a literal condition, it's Jared's job to sew, fill and patch the physical wounds left in people's hearts by lost loves, misunderstandings and betrayals. Jared's own love life is more than a little dire, largely because Jensen doesn't date and Jared doesn't do one-night stands, but he's got good friends and a job he loves, so he figures that he can't complain too much. When a killer attacks Jensen, Jared discovers that a needle and thread, desperation and a sharp scalpel are enough to save Jensen's life, but at a cost that is going to change Jared's life forever and tie them both together in a way that goes far deeper than flesh.

Summary: Jared Padalecki has dreamed of taking to the skies since he was five-years-old. When he becomes an adult and builds a spaceship of his own, he gets to do just that, looking for adventure -- little did he know the adventure waiting for him. Jensen Ackles is born part human, part Terryn and his life as an outcast is difficult -- music is his only real escape. When he's captured by the Dominion, an organization hell-bent on taking over every galaxy in every way they can, he's used as a lab experiment to see how his special, combined heritage can be advantageous for them. Fleeing Dominion control, he vows to himself, they will never find him again. A chance meeting between Jared and Jensen helps both of them get what they're looking for -- and the way things end up, it may have been more than just chance. From various planets throughout different galaxies, to nights under the stars in space, Jared and Jensen find in each other something worth fighting -- and possibly dying -- for.

There’s A Catch!

So, it's finally happening! I'm reopening requests! However, like the title says, there's a catch! This time around, I am ONLY accepting AU(alternate universe) requests! I think this will give me a bigger dose of creativity which means I should be able to write more often! It should also help me avoid spoilers for certain fandoms! And hopefully, I can finish the new list before the baby is born or shortly after I heal.

But please try and be a little original. I don't want to get 20 Soulmate AU requests for the same characters. Underrated characters need some love too!

Here's the type of AUs I will accept:

*Soulmate AU (obviously)

*High School/University AU (this can include teachers, but please no student x teacher romantic relationships, although past!teacher is okay.)

*Modern AU

*Fake Married/Dating AU

*Royal AU

*Roommate or Neighbor AU

*Single Parent AU

*Movie-Based AU (if I haven't seen it, I'll let you know. This includes Disney AUs)

*Fairytale AU

*Coffee Shop/Bakery/Flower Shop AUs

*Detective AU

*Artist/Photographer AU

*Musical AU

*Road Trip AU

*Trapped Together AU

*Business AU

*Pirate AU

*Matchmaking/Blind Date/Online Dating AU

*Arranged Marriage AU

*Body Switching AU

*Accidental Text/Email/Pen Pal AU

*Farm AU

*Mob AU

*Hospital AU (but please no romantic doctor x patient.) 

*I will do Burlesque AU as well, but it will stay, as always, completely appropriate for all audiences. 

*Or be creative and come up with one of your own to request!

(If you requested something last time and it hasn’t been posted yet, it is either saved in my drafts or has been started and will be posted when it’s finished, so don’t fret!)

My normal guidelines still apply! Please be sure to read them BEFORE requesting. You can find them here: http://meganlpie.tumblr.com/request_guidelines

I look forward to all your new requests! Lots of love!

-Meg

Part of me wants to stick with the headcanon that BATIM's Toons would dissolve in a bath because water thins out ink, but...

Then the Toons can’t enjoy warm, relaxing bubble baths. With rubber ducks and foamy Santa beards.

And that’s just unacceptable.

Miserable by Lit

Dear Indes,

You make me come, you make me complete, you make me completely miserable.

Stuck to a chair watchin' this story about me, everything goes by so fast, making my head spin. Used up all of my friends; who needs them, when you mean everything?

I love the things that we should fear, and I'm not afraid of being here. So much the same, it makes me helpless alone. Nothing to share. Why should I care if you're near me? I give up all of my plans; who needs them when you mean everything?

You make me come, you make me complete, you make me completely miserable.

Love,Tor-Acr-Sha-Noln
