Author’s warnings: There are some major infidelity issues in this one, so if that's a trigger or squick for you, I'd steer clear. Otherwise, I think it's okay. Also, I should mention that, while this fic is more alternate reality than alternate universe, there are still a few instances where what I've written doesn't quite line up with what we know as "canon". Uhm. Beyond the obvious, I mean.

Author's Summary: Boy meets boy. Boy falls for boy. And then life happens.

Review:
Jared and Jensen instantly click when they meet for the first time on Supernatural, but Jared’s girlfriend complicates the matter somewhat, or rather, a lot, once a kid arrives. Sometimes it is difficult to know when to make the right decision instead of simply going for the easy decision.

A bit of a self-indulgent angst-fest, (I’ve been reading a lot of those lately) but it’s well worth it in the end. The infidelity definitely bothered me – namely, Jared and Jensen could have handled things much better and everyone wouldn’t have been a lot happier along the way, but I suppose life is messy that way and I don’t doubt this sort of thing frequently happens in real-life. There is no winner or loser in the game of “love”, and ultimately, we have to realize that finding true love sometimes is the easiest part; the real challenge is working out a way to stay together.

Wonderful characterization, fabulous dramatics with just the right dose of reality and all in all greatly enjoyable!
