Summary:  The man tells him how joining up is like starting a whole new life, becoming a better person. He talks about incentives, career opportunities, health care, and saving plans, but Jake can’t stop staring at the picture of a man and woman looking proudly at their daughter in uniform.

Review: Once you start on this series you’re not going to be able to put it back down. Even if it means you’re reading with one hand and trying to cook with the other.

Jensen’s voice in this is just amazing. His just the right mix of completely crazy and brilliant with a dash of dorkiness thrown in. Parts of the story will have you sobbing while others will have you laughing your head off. Basically…go…and don’t worry if you don’t know much about the Loser’s fandom.

Because this is one awesome origin story.

You aren't kidding about the having to finish this story once you start! In the second story of the series, she switches to Cougar's voice for a good portion of the it very effectively, and I have to say I fell for him even though he's pretty quiet even in his own POV. I hadn't been well and truly hooked by The Losers till this story and now I can't get enough of the good stuff! I have read it several times this month as I find it comforting somehow, even if it's not your average snuggle fic. Jensen's core family of chosen and blood is absolutely insane and beautiful for (and maybe because) of all the visible cracks and broken bits.

I came here looking for more recs BECAUSE of that author, actually. :P Very glad it's getting some love.
