The Doors of Time by [livejournal.com profile] felisblanco. J2 AU

I don't have enough words to express how incredible this story is. 65,000 words and I still don't have enough of it. It's so awesome that I suspect even 200K wouldn't be enough. I'm hooked, transfixed and riveted to my monitor screen - crying, laughing, smiling - and now I can't wait to read it all over again!

Summary : Jensen is a special child with special abilities. So special that no one's really comfortable with him, not even his family. He has no friends and he spends his days alone. Until Jared comes along that is. Jared, the only one who's able to get through to Jensen, but even Jared doesn't know the extent of Jensen's abilities, and to what terrible extent Jensen's family is capable of doing to keep Jensen safe.

It’s not like he doesn’t try to fit in and make friends, he really does. It just seems like nothing he does is good enough for them. If he smiles they blink. If he speaks they stare. And whenever they see him coming they get this panicked look in their eyes like they want to run away and they don’t even know why.
Jensen knows why. It’s the same thing that makes his dad worry and his mom cry. That makes Nana tell his parents he’s going to Hell, not even caring that he can hear her.
It’s what makes him ‘weird’.


Oh God, don't miss this.

I know but I have to spend time with Phil after work and then play here with my flist in the evenings so the best time, when I can sit down and give it proper attention, will be the weekend. We are planning, if the weather is nice, to take a picnic and go hang out in the National Park so I shall print it out and read while lying underneath some beautiful majestic ancient trees. Perfect no? And well worth waiting for! I shall definately come back and squee with you though!

Omg reading it outdoors lying under ancient trees with birds flying around you and maybe a horse or two would be the BEST way to read it, you'll know what I mean afterwards. Choose an OAK tree, okay? And if you could download the soundtrack and listen to it while reading, that would be even better. Jensen plays the piano a lot in that story, and with each piece that he plays, the author has given the accompanying music.

You and Phil have fun!

Ok and now I am really excited. I'm definately going to dl the sound track to read with it - how perfect!

Thanks Lin.

Yeah, Jensen plays the piano incredibly well, and he plays for Jared all the time and oh, I'm not going to spoil the story for you but I'm dying to!

I haven't checked my flist the whole day today.

And oh, you've seen the banner, right? Having Jensen looking like Alec made me giddy with happiness.
