Hi Guys,

It's been a while but I need your help! What I remember is this:

1.John somehow injures Dean's back, either purposely or through neglect.

2. Dean runs away, puts weight on (by eating cheese!) and works at a hardware store under an alias. He has built himself a life and reinvented himself. I believe a guy he works for has feelings for Dean, but Dean only likes him as a friend.

3. Sam tracks Dean down ( can't remember how or why) Dean tells Sam he likes living with his new identity. I'm pretty sure it's Sam/Dean.

Hope that's enough to go on. You guys haven't failed me yet!

As ever mods, I hope my tags are ok!

Would appreciate any assistance in locating these stories or if anyone has a copy of them please let me know and I will exchange emails.
sincerely,
jazzy

I was going through some old links and found some of the journals (and therefore fics) deleted or locked for some reason. After being a complete failure at Google I am hoping someone will be willing to share a copy of these fics or point me in the direction of where I can find them. I did check the "deleted author" list & did not see anything saying that the authors did not want their works shared, but if someone knows otherwise then just let me know.

1) "A Question of Legitimacy" & it's sequel "The Royal Five" by shotofjack

2) "Speed Dating" by wuzzlybear

3) Secret Love Verse by zams - I saw the entry in her journal which was locked. Not sure if it's okay to share or not?

4) "Stagnation at Six Months or How Jared's Really Good at Getting What He Wants, SUBTLY" & "The Legendary Miss Britney Spears" by notthequiettype - both are sequels (timestamps?) to "Get the Door, It's Domino's"

5) "The Incredible True Story of Two Clerks In Love" by notthequiettype

6) "The Panthera Leo Story" by incompleteworks2

7) "The Weather Outside Is Frightful" by chissy_rose

Hoping somebody can help me out here (*fingers crossed*). Thank you!

Jensen works in a Christmas Decorations Store (yes that is all they sell, year round). Jared is mentally challenged/autistic, and physically abused by his mother. He comes into the shop to see the pretty baubles. Jensen hears the abuse/sees him thrown down the stairs. Jared ends up in the hospital; Jensen takes him home with him. Jensen builds a 'Winter Wonderland' in his back yard; to help Jared have a happy Christmas.


ETA: Fic Found. PDF Available in 'Deleted Journals' List. It's The Christmas Wish By PignAPoke

I don't remember much at all, except I think that Jensen worked in a coffee shop or in a store and he had the cutest moment where he was all dorky happy that Jared knew his name, and then he remembered that he was wearing a name tag.

I know it isn't much to go on, but this thing have been driving me insane for hours and I just fail at finding it so...help please?

I know this story has been searched for on the comm before, but I wasn't able to find it in the "retail" or "store owners" tag. I know there's a podfic of it.

Jensen owns a comic book store, and Aldis works for him. Two of his customers (I think they were the Ghostfacers actors) asked him to settle a Batman vs. Superman question (I'm sure it was Batman, not so sure about the Superman part), and after getting them to narrow down "which" Batman they meant, he answers "Deadpool." Apparently, Jensen always answers "Deadpool" to "vs" questions. Aldis tells the guys they aren't going to like the answer before Jensen gives it.

IIRC, Jared has been coming in once a month for a book for his niece, but he finally works up the nerve to talk to Jensen and his ice breaker is "Han shot first!" He may have been a teacher.

ETA: FOUND!!! by kruel_angel in about 15 seconds!! It's Dork Reign: A Tale of Geek Love by saone77. And it wasn't Superman, it was Wolverine. Knew I was off on that. For anyone interested, here's a link to the podfics by the wonderful reena_jenkins

I am looking for a fic where Jared just started a job at some sort of electrical supply store, computer etc. Jensen is the more experienced one, along with some other familiar faces. Jared has no idea when the others complain about the day, some notorious sale day near thanksgiving I think. Higher ups drop the ball and Jensen steps up and organises and basically that's it, there's the boys teaming up and kicking shopping chaos butt and coffee run in there too I think.

Thanks for the help. this one just tickled my sappy side and won't leave me alone apparently.

I have had a hankering for some Joe-brewing stories. I'd like either Dean or Castiel to be a barista. I know I've read one or two, but for some reason, this work relationship thing is stuck in my head and I'd like more. I read two off of the swingset-13 AU list, does anyone know of any more? thank you!

I'm reading elles18's story, Turn Up the Bright Lights and I have been reminded of another story with Hurt!Jensen, where he's never met Jared, but knows him perhaps from the Internet? His usual ride isn't able to pick him up after a medical appointment, perhaps physical therapy, and he ends up calling Jared for a ride. Jared picks him up in his SUV and takes him home. Their relationship develops from there.

I'm thinking that Jensen might have been an author?

If anyone can tell anything from this very vague tiny snippet, I would appreciate it, because it's driving me crazy.

FOUND!! A PUUUUURFECT MATCH by butterflywrites

Thank you so much! Jensen's a Customer Service Rep that works from his home.

I work retail. I'm having a really bad night. I would love some stories where Dean and Sam, or Dean and Cas, or all three work in retail. It can be AU or undercover in a case!fic or whatever. Dean/Cas is okay, but no graphic Wincest. I think I read an an AU where Castiel worked at a store called Novaks. Thanks y'all.
