Author's Summary: Years and years on the same show can spoil a guy, so it's no wonder that Jensen finds himself at loose ends after Supernatural's over. With Jared's schedule already filled up and no desire to play the Hollywood game anymore, Jensen takes a role in an Off-Broadway production in New York City, and starts himself on a journey to find out just who he is and exactly what - or who - he wants from life.

Review:
Jensen moves to NYC to start his new career as a theatrical actor after Supernatural ends, and we don't learn much about Jared's life other than the little tidbits Jensen leaves on Jared's answering machine. Jared is making it big in Hollywood while Jensen...starts dating Jason. And it takes a breakup plus some introspection on both fronts for them to realize that they are actually in love with each other.

The writer writes in a style I absolutely love: smooth and subtle, making all the events and characters in the story very believable, and without over-dramatization or people constantly shouting at each other (;p). There is also a wonderful cast of supporting characters (i.e. Jensen's friends from NYC), and the ending was just absolutely perfect. This story will make you sigh happily, like you've just finished watching one of those wonderfully sweet romantic movies except this one has the added bonus of hot steamy sex!

Make sure you also check out the fantastic "trailer"!
