Title: Make Time
Author: raeschae
Wordcount: ~3000
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s): Jared/Jensen

Prompt(s): Candlelight Dinner, for my schmoop_bingo card.
Summary: Between his veterinary residency and pitching in at his parents' bar, Jared is too busy to start a relationship. That would probably be harder to deal with if he didn't have a crush on Jensen, the only guy in town with less time to date than Jared.

A/N: Earlier in the week, I asked for AU prompts and answers ranged from the truly awesome to the absolutely absurd (oberon_titania, I'm looking at you). I made a list of the ideas that I'd like to write at a later date. For this one, I went with some of the most popular suggestions.

Title comes from a Charles Bruxton quote: “You will never 'find' time for anything. If you want time, you must make it."

( If there is a better pick-me-up at the end of a long day, Jared doesn't know what the hell it is. )

Pairing(s): Jared/Jensen

Prompt(s): Hot Cocoa, for my schmoop_bingo card.
Summary: Jensen wants to surprise Jared with his favorite drink. Unfortunately, Jared is the barista in this relationship. (Part of the Coffee Verse)

( This is, by far, the dumbest idea Jensen has ever had. )

Obviously, anyone who was reading the Coffee Verse already knows that I completed my spn_30snapshots table, but I just got the nifty banner to make it official, so I'm sharing! Also, the beta on that should be done shortly, and then I will make the PDF available. It's coming, I promise.

I also wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who commented on my thread at the 'That's My Favorite' meme. I really didn't know what to expect, and you guys blew me away. Thank you so much for your kind words - they made my day.

On a somewhat related note, those of you who said Creative Control was your go-to fic, you inspired me. I am currently working on a fic with those guys to fill one of the prompts on my schmoop_bingo table. It's turning out a lot pornier than I intended, so I hope that's okay.

Alright, that's it for now - back to the writing. If I can stay inspired, I should have it ready to go today or tomorrow.

Now that my spn_30snapshots table is finished, I need to focus my attention on the next thing on my plate. (Check out Conversations in a Coffee Shop if you've been waiting for it to be complete before reading!)

Fortunately, I have today off so I'm hoping to get some outlining done for my spnthreesome fic. I have the idea and the basic concept, but I need to nail down the specifics.

The other things I want to do is start writing for my schmoop_bingo card. I'm asking you guys for a little help on this one, though.

( There's a lot of schmoop under this cut )

And the other thing I decided to do today - apparently, I'm addicted to prompts.
