On hutches and alcohol

tsukinofaeriiI've decided that keeping a bunny hutch is good therapy for the muse. The idea gets written down somewhere so it stops bugging me when I'm doing something else. Maybe someone else will come along and claim it for their own, so I get to see it come to life without having to write it. Alternately, if I ever do run out of WiPs (heaven forbid), they're all in a nice tidy row waiting to be written. I can't lose!
This particular bunny is J2. Jared is (very) drunk and wandering around online when he stumbles across one of those random LJ communities that cater to Supernatural RP fic. It's a little creepy, but what the hell, he's drunk. He can always blame it on the Jägger bomb. So he looks around the community some (not in the shipper fic, because that would just be weird) and ends up finding a fic challenge. Two fics of the same story from two different PoVs. At this point, he has a Genius Idea. Okay, so it's one of those Genius Ideas that seem less Genius in the morning, but at the time it seems awesome.
He makes an LJ under a random name.
He joins the community, which is open.
And he writes for the challenge.
It's not a masterpiece. For one, he's drunk, and that can never be emphasized enough. For two, he's an actor, not a writer. But he decided to do one of those "a day in the life of" stories that a lot of beginners do. He just picks a day last week that seemed interesting and writes what he remembers of it. Then he writes the same thing from Jensen's PoV, because he was there for pretty much all of it and that makes it easy. The plan is to submit the stories, then sit back while the fangirls scream that they're completely out of character and "they'd never say that". He'll have another "those wacky fangirls" story and a "one time I was drunk" story, all in one shot. It' fool-proof, right?
Yes, that is a stupid question.
He wakes up at the keyboard the next day and discovers three things. 1) He'd finished the stories. 2) His grammar blows when he's wasted. 3) Jensen found the stories. No, he won't ever live this down. There is a fourth thing, but "oh god pain" isn't really news.
After going around about it a bit (and popping some aspirin) Jensen prods him into cleaning up the stories and submitting them. He wrote them after all. Might as well, right? So he does, and the comments start rolling in. They all seem to have one thing in common.
"WARN FOR SLASH, BITCH."
Naturally, both of our boys are confused. They weren't slash fic—actually, they were practically a recitation of last Wednesday, with some filler thrown in when things got boring or Jared couldn't remember. I've no idea where the bunny goes from here, but the logical thing is to have the boys actually take a look at their friendship and realize that they are practically married. Then, of course, matters progress. :D
