EPILOGUE: The Kripked Fangirl

"Jared, please don't--"

"You lost the bet," Jared points out, patting him on the ass. "Besides, we owe them a lot. You owe them a lot."

Jensen groans and makes a face at himself in the mirror, where he's trying to make his hair behave itself for the panel. Damn Jared and his fucking big hands, making him come in less than three minutes. That's just pathetic. He probably deserves public humiliation.

Just not this particular public humiliation. "Modest, aren't we?"

Jared laughs. "You love me and you know it."

"I do," Jensen admits grudgingly. "I'm just not sure I love you this much."

"Jensen. These are my friends. They're the reason I pulled my head out of my ass. I wanna give them this."

Jensen sighs. "I can shove you off, right?"

Jared grins. "Damn straight."

"Fiiine."

*~*~*

"Yeah, I love you too, bitch," Jared says, and reaches over to pull at Jensen's head, giving him a smack on the lips that echoes through the mikes.

The room goes absolutely silent and still, except for a few small, desperate whimpers.

"Get off me, asshole," Jensen grumbles, shoving him off and grinning like it's all a big joke. Eric grins, too, and makes some sorta comment about a big happy family, and the panel keeps going.

It isn't till the panel's over and the fangirls start to get outside the room that the screaming begins.

Jensen's pretty sure the lobby is still echoing when they leave two days later.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

[moveablehistory.livejournal.com]

This story was such a pleasure to read - I love how I feel like I know the fangirls you're talking about, how I picked up fic references easily and how you tie in the fannish con experience - wow.

So awesome - thank you so much. :D :D :D

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

My love letter to the fandom. *G* Thank you!

[cloex-brosluvr.livejournal.com]

This was so much fun to read. Thank you!

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you. (Also, icon love!)

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. This was FANTASTIC! I was smiling and laughing the whole way through this. Your Jared voice was spot-on and I love how it took him reading FIC to realize he was in love with Jensen.

Brilliant. :D

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA.

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

That was fairly jossed by the last convention, but I still like it for the humor. *G*

[waterofthemoon.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEE. *runs around in circles* This is AMAZING, absolutely brilliant. I LOVE the different ways you tied in the fandom with the J2 love story--every word feels authentic, like I'm watching myself and my friends from an outside perspective. The pacing and slow buildup is fantastic, too, the way it's like they're both missing a limb when they're not in sync and then how perfect it is when they finally come together, and just. I really, really love you for writing this. ♥

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad it felt true to you, what a nice thing to say! Thanks!

Oh, wow, this is amazing! Normally when I try reading "the boys know about fandom" fics I end up clicking the back button almost immediately, but this was just really different. (Warning: Now entering full on tinhat mode) I think what held my attention was your EXCELLENT characterization, especially Jared's. His freaked out initial reactions to the whole J2 thing were very believable. I also really enjoyed that sort of surreal moment in the middle where he was having trouble separating fic!Jensen from real Jensen. I mean, if there were tomes of stories written about my life and friends and I started spending all my time reading them, I'd probably have some kind of existential crisis, so yeah. Your characterizations of the fangirls were also awesome. I especially enjoyed Rachel and I really, really wish Sandy were my roommate because she seems like such a sweetheart and then Jared would come visit all the time.

My favorite, FAVORITE thing was chapter 8. I have a feeling you know what I'm talking about when I say I've read a lot of porn. Hell, I've written a lot of porn. And I have never encountered a scene quite like the one you wrote. It was so full of joy and that's something I've just never seen before. Not that I haven't read happy sex scenes, because I have, but this was something out of the ordinary. What I love so much is that even though it was definitely hot, the sex itself was secondary and complimentary to the love and how HAPPY they are to finally be together and it just made me deeply squeeful. Andthistotallyhappenedinreallifeiswerz!!!!11!

Anyway, I seem to have written you a novel of a comment. Couldn't be helped. You are made of win! \o/

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your novel...I love such comments. *G* And I'm so glad that you thought it was believable and that what I feel about our boys came across.

[huggenkiss.livejournal.com]

Heee! This is just FANTASTIC! I was grinning the entire time and I adored every single word. Thank you!

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[prettyshiny.livejournal.com]

Okay, so this entire fic was so very awesome, and I'm going to have to chime in with the congratulating on your characterizations. I absolutely adore how Jared's observations of the fangirls were kind of like the safari voice overs on National Geographic. Heh.

And the sex! Clumsy, happy, laughing sex that is so perfect and realistic!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Shukran Gazillan (Thank you very much)

Eskerrik asko (Thank you very much)

Jae Zu Din Pa De (Thank you)

and variations on the theme that say, I haven't enjoyed a J2 fic as much as this in ages.

THIS story is what is SO good about this fandom :)

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

We've been so wanky lately; I think my love letter comes at a good time. Thank you so much for reviewing!

[chavelaprincess.livejournal.com]

I think this story is about as close to perfection as you can get. And just too damn close to how it could be. *sighs*
Awesome!

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[pocketfullof.livejournal.com]

This was just darling. I love that the fangirls played unsuspecting matchmaker. Also, reading about fan culture from an outside perspective was hilarious.

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[stir-of-echoes.livejournal.com]

I followed lemmealone's link to here because she said there would be glee and there is.

Lots and LOTS of GLEE!

*fangirl face*

:)

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

*all flattered* Thank you!

[evenstar-1203.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeee!!! This made me incredibly happy ♥ ♥ ♥

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

♥

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know! *G*

[koryou]

Shit. You broke me. Seriously, I'm ded. Thank you. LOL

And is it scary that I think I recognized most of the stories you referred to? :D

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

I recognize all of them, so at least I'm worse than you? LOL

Thanks!

[zulu.livejournal.com]

Here by a rec from carlanime, and even though it's not my fandom, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Also, you totally helped me get through the last bit of procrastination I needed on my term paper, so really, thank you!

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Oh, what a compliment! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! (And if you need to procrastinate more, there's a link up there for a beginners' guide to J2...*tempts*)

[nomelon.livejournal.com]

I think I had a grin on my face the entire way through reading this. Making Jared a fangirl is inspired. Thank you!

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I had so much fun with it. (Also, icon love!)

[sometimesophie.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, oh man, was this AWESOME. The whole fanfic-reading epiphany is something I've read a number of times in different fandoms, but never, NEVER like this. This was hilarious and real and hot and just a little bit achey. So much love. ♥

(And, yes. Fandom is fucking crazy. *G*)

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

That is why we are fun!

Thank you so much!

[wildwordwomyn.livejournal.com]

I just...I have no words...It was funny and romantic and dramatic and funny and did I already say funny? I enjoyed it so much I'm gonna mem it. Thanks for sharing this:)

*scampers off to mem*

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[walkawayslowly.livejournal.com]

*flaily hands at you* I'm trying to think of way to start this and I keep CRACKING UP. It's so cute and hilarious!!! I actually read bits out loud because I wanted to laugh MORE. The fan girls are awesome, Jared is awesome, Jensen is awesome, Sandy is awesome, Rachel is awesome. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. And the scene in the kitchen? Phew. Nice. Very nice. :D

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

*grinning like mad* Thank you so much!

[starlitshore.livejournal.com]

asf;ljasdjk I read this instead of working on my takehome exam and therefore only got two hours of SLEEP. Oh, J2.

Point is, IF ONLY. If I honestly thought our tinhattery would end up with them having mad sex and then kissing at a con, I'd up my game.

So thank you for a really adorable fic that gave me the warm fuzzies because fandom randomness + J2 = <3

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so sorry! *sends you Sandman dust for tonight*

But I am so glad that you liked it.

(As for them kissing at a con...c'mon. Knowing about us or not? It's only a matter of time.)
