Insta rec

I am so very far behind on reading spn bigbang stories, since I didn't have much internet time while I was away, but I've spent the day reading like a crazy person to try to catch up, and I absolutely have to recommend aramuin's Queensguard (Jared/Jensen). This is an absolutely wonderful AU, set a few years in the future. Jared and Jensen are finally working on Supernatural again, as the world slowly gets on its feet again after an alien invasion that was only foiled by a hidden population that Earth didn't even know it had until the invasion: dragons. As the season's filming progresses, Jared gradually learns more about what really happened in the war, and how it changed Jensen. I really loved the slow, gradual reveal about the war itself, and the progression of Jared and Jensen's relationship was fantastic. Plus, DRAGONS!

Well, I said I'd been reading like a madwoman, right? So I'm starting to catch up, and can finally get back to recommending stories.
