J2 Fanfic Jared is a makeup artist and is hired for a new movie based in Vancouver. Jensen plays the part of a hardcore, punk-rock star, but he has a real-life attitude problem. Unfortunately, Jared can’t figure out why and he still finds Jensen attractive. They have to work alone together; long hours and long days, in small quarters of the makeup trailer. During that time, Jared discovers the actor’s secret and wants nothing more than to break away the protective mask Jensen hides behind. Art by tinkabell007 Words: 36,370 complete
A well written bittersweet fanfic told from gay make-up artist Jared's pov. He is attracted to actor Jensen Ackles, but Jensen is very standoffish with him and Jared thinks he might be homophobic. "I tried to act like an asshole to make you stay away from me. I got so tired acting pissed off all the time. You and your damn dimples though, so fucking cute, flirting and making me laugh. Your fingers, touching me. God, it’s been so long since someone has touched me. You broke me open, Jay.”
It had me laughing in parts, but overall I think it was a bit too schmopey for me, and I missed the Jensen/Dean snark, and attitude. I found the pictures to be a bit of a distraction, and they threw me a bit out of the story while I was reading.
