ENGAGE THE NIGHT
Jared Padalecki/Jensen Ackles.
PG-13. 20,000 words.
Pre-slash/Unresolved Sexual Tension. Underage!Jared (for a portion of the story). References to all sorts of vampiric activities, including blood drinking.
Prequel to my 'The Richardson Vampires' Series. Set four years before It Begins in the Blood and Paint Over Everything Mundane. Prior reading not required.

The Ackles and the Padaleckis: two families living in the same town, existing in two completely different worlds. Jared Padalecki—young, intelligent, and angry—belongs in the Texas sunlight, while Jensen Ackles—cold, distant, and calculating—courts favor as the prince of the night. Their paths never cross until one unremarkable evening when Jared’s outspoken stubbornness lights a fire in Jensen’s heart. Lust, misunderstanding, and frustration layer each meeting the two have as the young man and the vampire try their best to balance an uncertain friendship with the traditions holding them back.

Part One | Part Two | Part Three

note. Yeah, even I looked at the word count and thought, 'How could I write that much without adding porn?' I didn't think it was possible. But considering Jared and Jensen had never been together when 'It Begins in the Blood' takes place, it was necessary. Not to say there isn't plenty of UST between these two :)

PAINT OVER EVERYTHING MUNDANE
Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki. NC17. 11,000+ words.
warnings. Bloodplay—a little heavier than last time, but nothing too extreme. Sex. Language. Vampires.
summary. Secretive phone calls, corrupt cops, and vampires coming out of the woodwork to make threats sound more like the plot to a thriller movie than the story of a relationship, but Jared’s been dealing with all of that, and more, since he and Jensen got together. He should have known that normal was too much to ask for. Sequel to It Begins in the Blood.

notes. Thanks to matalinolukaret for the beta! All remaining mistakes are my own. Other formats and downloads for this story available on AO3.


( Whoever’s stalking Jared now has a much more sinister presence, which narrows it down to every other vampire in Richardson besides Jensen. )

IT BEGINS IN THE BLOOD
Jared/Jensen. NC17. 6200 words.
warnings. Light blood!play
To protect his parents, Jared makes a deal that goes against everything he believes in. Despite his fear, Jared intends to keep his end of the bargain, no matter what gets in his way. But when a man Jared hasn’t seen in years shows up just in time to prevent Jared from losing everything he is, Jared begins to wonder what kind of deal is worse –one with a known enemy, or one with Jensen Ackles.

This genre is new for me, and I really hope y'all enjoy it! Big thanks to matalinolukaret for the read-thru!

( The cold isn’t a surprise; Jared hadn’t expected death to feel any different. )
