ARTpost: SPN_J2_BigBang 2018, the first!

Oh yes, there was lots of squeeing when I saw my favorite pairing in the whole of fandom on offer in this year's spn_j2_bigbang. I love playing with these two and the summary was right up my alley too, so of course I put that fic on top of my claimlist and then I managed to grab it, woohoo! I'm thrilled that these guys got a new story and it's such a sweet one too. Good old Enemies to Lovers, with a nice sprinkle of angst until they figure it out, yay! May I present to you:



Title: Our Love Was Made for Movie Screens
Author: sometimesalways [cherryvanilla on AO3]
Artist: beelikej
Pairing: Jensen/Jeff (background Jensen/Jared friends-with-benefits)
Story Rating: NC17 | Genre: RPS | Wordcount: ~33000
ART Rating: G, and contains no spoilers for story!
Medium: Watercolours and Photoshop
A/N: Loosely inspired by You’ve Got Mail, which was loosely inspired by the wonderful Shop Around the Corner.

Summary: It’s 2012, and brick-and-mortar chain bookstores aren’t the powerhouses they used to be in the 90s -- thanks to Amazon -- but Morgan Books is now in its 70th year and has still managed to prevail.

When the superstore announces their intention to locally expand by buying out and demolishing a few cherished shops on a quaint Seattle block, independent bookshop owner Jensen Ackles is having nothing of it or the company’s obnoxious CEO, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. In the midst of this, Jensen has found himself interested in dating someone, for the first time in a long time. Of course, he hasn’t exactly met Bookman66 yet, but Jensen’s pretty sure the guy he’s been talking to online recently is just about as perfect as they come.

Jeffrey, meanwhile, has developed feelings for Shopguy78 -- a member of the online book club he joined on a whim -- despite his own cutthroat exterior and less-than-stellar relationship track record. Now, if only he can stop thinking about the fiery shop owner he's attempting to put out of business...
