Author's Summary: Jared/Jensen. Jensen has a nine-to-five job, but no one really knows what a "VP of Hospitality and Entertainment" really does.
Review:
Jensen has an unusual job, but he loves it and is just as serious as any other professional. Even his boss Jared thinks he works too hard sometimes.
This story manages to push many of my buttons – unusual prostitution, slight power imbalance, and office-sex – without hitting any of my squicks. Jared and Jensen are both genuinely nice people and have a fully consensual relationship, and the mood is generally upbeat (unlike the gloom-and-doom and seriousness of many other “prostitution” stories) with good characterization. I wouldn’t say Nice to Five is one of the best fics ever written in fandom, but the writing is solid and while the plot is on the light side, it is engaging enough to keep readers interested yet not leave them physically exhausted and emotionally drained.
