Okay, so it's killing me. I've been searching for this specific J2 fic for a while now (and I've read some brilliant ones along the way), but I am giving up finding it on my own.
It starts in London with Kane playing a concert there and Jensen along as a vacation. Somehow Chris bring Jared back to the room and Jensen having met him downstairs, already has a firm dislike of him. It is a longer/multi-chapter fic with the boys bumping into one another a couple of different times in exotic/beautiful locations (Greece, Italy?). Jensen is a journalist or photographer and Jared is a scientist or archaeologist with a nervous/shy disposition. I think Jared was a child prodigy and studied in England.
At their last destination, Jensen is injured and Jared is hurried to safty and they are seperated, until Jensen borrows a mobile phone in the airport and calls. Chris has a sort of crush on Jared and becomes upset when he finds out that Jared and Jensen enter into a relationship. In the end, Jensen arrives back in Texas to celebrate Jared's birthday and accepts a job from Jared's step-father, JDM. (I might be mixing fics with this thought.)
Please help. I'm pretty sure that this fic isn't in my imagination and would love to read it again. The author is quite talented at the slow-burn romance and the location disciptions were lovely.
Recs for any other longer AU stories in which the J2's meet and fall for one another in a different or unusual locale would be greatly appreciated. Self-recs are fine as is either of them bottoming, I'm not picky at all.
Thank you so much, Stella
