I'm looking for J2 stories in which one -- or both -- of the boy is in some way weird, personality wise. Can be AU or not. Like the title says, could be socially maladjusted, socially awkward, mentally ill, an antisocial jerk, etc etc. Think -- oh I dunno, movies that come to mind quickly are American Beauty, Donnie Darko, Choke, whatever... weird characters doing weird things.
I've already looked at every fic under J2 Rec's mental illness and creepers tags (link here and here) and while a few have been good that's not exactly what I'm looking for. The mental illness fics are often of the boys being so ill that they're homeless or institutionalized--what I'm looking for boys that are fine enough to function, just socially weird. The kinds of fics that DID fit my craving from that list were stuff like The Puzzle That is Me. As for the creepers list, I thought it was exactly what I was looking for but it's actually just stalking-related fic specifically, which isn't exactly on the mark, though some good stuff there too. I know there are various shy-boys recs I can find and I'm still working through those, feel free to share your own, but again not exactly on the mark.
A perfect example of the kind of fic I'm looking for is Write Me a Way into Your Life. There, Jared is socially awkward as hell and a little bit of a creepy stalker, and Jensen is taciturn and stoic and anti-social. But like, they're both ok with it and each other, if that makes sense.
I'm pretty good at knowing what I'll like by skimming the fics first, so feel free to dump recs and recs lists at me en masse.
