summary. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles met in college, two English majors who eventually became inseparable. Their friendship led them to accept teaching positions at the same private high school. Nothing could come between them until Jared—unable to come to terms with his own bisexuality—decided to set Jensen up on a blind date with his handsome gym-buddy Tahmoh Penikett, a former Olympic swimmer turned coach. Through falling in love, pulling away, and more than their fair share of sexual tension, the three men need to figure out a way to coexist together before their individual relationships crumble for good. Like an anagram puzzle, there might just be more than one way to fix this unexpected love triangle.

notes.

You might be looking at the pairing and asking 'What was she thinking?" but I would beg you to reconsider. At it's core, this is a story about how Jared and Jensen move from friendship into something more, with the help of Tahmoh who loves them both. I have never personally been in a three-way relationship, so I am in no way trying to pass myself off as an expert - I merely went where the story told me to go. You all know, in my heart, I LOVE J2, and nothing could ever take its place. Just think of this as a side-trip with Tahmoh added in for fun. Let's call it a J2 + BONUS story, okay? If you like J2-Happily Ever After stories and wouldn't mind a third hot guy in the mix without taking away from the EPICNESS that is J2, this story is for you.

Again, I have no history with polyamorous relationsips. THIS IS MY OWN INTERPRETATION.



thanks.

This story would not have happened without dugindeep. Last year when I was taking prompts, she asked me for a Jensen/Tahmoh story that involved either teachers, swimmers, or blind dates. I gave her all three. But then, when I SWORE I wasn't going to do another round of BB, I started thinking about how even in a Jensen/Tahmoh story, Jared kept coming up in conversation. And that's where ANAGRAM was born. So this is clearly all Amy's fault. Blame her. I have to thank dugindeep even more for being willing to beta the majority of this story right before she left on vacation, too. Bless her greedy little heart!

Thanks to one_2_3_4 for again stepping up to the plate to offer comments, advice, and head-shaking when this story was still a mess. Her comments were invaluable, as always, and the story is so much better for Stacy's input. You are the best, m'dear!

To yanyann who had to manage doing art around finals and all sorts of other stresses, thank you for your willingness to claim a THIRD story (crazy!) and having to deal with a seriously early posting date! ♥

And to TEAM PROCRASTINATION who saw me through last minute manic writing sessions so that I had a draft to turn in - THANK YOU. I can't wait to do it again! And a HUGE THANK YOU to my friends on Twitter, cherie_morte, zubeneschamali, plasticine_star, ldyghst, tebtosca, akintay, deirdre_c, expectative, riyku, fiercelynormal, dephigravity, matalinolukaret, and enablelove who never let me give up on this story even when circumstances really, really sucked.

Oh spn_j2_bigbang, how I wish I could quit you, you beautiful monster.
