We would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to everyone who participated in this round. I don't think any of us anticipated that we would be still be in the middle of a pandemic before this wrapped, but just remember that you brought a lot of comfort and joy to people when they needed it the most.

The comm will be locked to new postings from members (you can continue to comment on existing posts), but those of you who have WiPs will still be able to edit your posts to adjust word counts and such. In a few days, we will be posting a masterpost for this round and a poll to see if folks might be interested in another round in the future.

Once again, thanks to all of you for bringing us a much-needed Happily Ever After!

Prompt: A Voice in the Dark
No one knew what Noah Graydon looked like, but they'd all heard the rumors. How he'd been broken, even scarred, on his last case. How he never showed his face…until the day he took an overwhelming interest in one very special agent. Angel Carter would have been a serial killer's next victim if not for Noah. The rescue gave her a glimpse into his world of shadows – yet she dared to want more. To really know if the passion between them was real. They would have to come face-to-face if the killer was to be caught – and Noah could only conceal his body from Angel for so long...

Summary
No one knew what Jared Padalecki looked like, but the entire precinct had heard the story. That he used to be a highly decorated detective himself until he was ambushed by the killer he’d been tracking. How he'd been broken, even scarred, on his last case. How he never showed his face…

Now there was another killer on the loose. When the only witness looks like he may be the next victim, Jared takes more than the typical interest in the case. Now, Jensen has gotten pulled into his underground world, feeling a bond with the unconventional investigator. Jared will need to show Jensen his truth to find out if their connection is real...

Prompt: #59: Pushing the Limits

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible. Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

Summary A curse hits both the brothers while they’re attending the same high school. The night Sam can’t remember is also the one he’s guessing that Dean can’t either. Sam knows everything changed that night. He knows that there was a then and there’s a now, and it’s all different. He can’t explain it to himself, and Dean is just as messed up as he is and won’t even talk about it.

Prompt: 93 - This Tender Truce
The Boutonnet vineyards, passed down in her family for generations, mean everything to Tory. But she hadn't counted on her grandfather's one condition of her taking over: marry his godson, Chance Mobley. Unfortunately, Tory had decided long ago that she could never truly love the arrogant Frenchman. He had been raised alongside her, and she had loved him once - a child's crush. But Chance has no business being officially inducted into the Boutonnet family, and certainly doesn't deserve her beloved vineyard. As it turns out though, wine might not be the only thing for which Tory has a passion. And Chance has a few things to teach her about love.

Summary:
Le Miracle Vineyards in Napa Valley has been in the Padalecki family for 150 years. Winemaking was literally Jared’s lifeblood and at the core of his very being. Incredibly passionate, he’d devoted his life to it. Jared’s reputation as one of the youngest, most talented vintners in the region was steadily growing as he continued to garner recognition and receive awards for his brilliant creations. But all that seemed to matter naught to his grandfather, who had decreed a single condition for inheriting full control of the vineyards. Marriage.

As if that wasn't insulting enough, the union was mandated to be with none other than Jensen Ackles. Great godson to Jared's grandfather, Jensen had been Jared's first, his everything. Inseparable best friends who had grown up together, they had naturally, and seemingly inevitably, become young lovers when they had fully realized their sexualities. Jared had been positive Jensen was the one he would be with forever. Of course, that was until Jensen had announced his decision to leave California's winemaking countryside - and Jared - for New York City, the mecca of global high finance.

Would they be able to keep their 'merger' from becoming 'hostile' or could they be 'friendly' enough to ensure the future of the Padalecki legacy? Le Miracle's sometimes tumultuous history had proven anything was possible with strong faith and hard work. Could their unlikely marriage turn their long-ago first love into a miracle of its own? Only time would tell.

Prompt: Beautiful, sophisticated, and engaged to the son of a Senator, Evie Masterson has the perfect life. Except for one thing: it's all based on a lie. Five years ago, she created a new identity for herself and cut all ties to her criminal past. But she can't run forever, because something she witnessed years ago comes back to haunt her. And the only person there to help is the man she thought she left behind forever-the one man she's never been able to forget. Devastatingly gorgeous and just as ruthless, Riley Everett is the criminal for hire who once stole Evie's heart. Years have gone by, but he's never been able to forget her either. Now her life is in jeopardy, and even after all this time, he'd still do anything to protect her, even if that means breaking into her mansion and stealing her away. As they hide from the world, their long-lost passion reignites. But despite their undeniable chemistry, Evie can't give up the perfect life she's been working toward... and Riley has no part in it.

Summary: Jensen had to leave behind his crew and Jared years ago, something that still haunts him, even if it was for the right reasons. When the new job he's working takes one unexpected turn after another, he's suddenly got the chance to make up for his past choices. That is, if he and Jared don't get killed first...

Prompt: 73. Succubus Blues.

When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical? But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid's life is far less exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies. Her immortal best friends haven't stopped teasing her about the time she shape-shifted into the Demon Goddess getup complete with whip and wings. And she can't have a decent date without sucking away part of the guy's life. At least there's her day job at a local bookstore--free books; all the white chocolate mochas she can drink; and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, aka He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can't. But dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked is at work in Seattle's demon underground. And for once, all of her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won't help because Georgina's about to discover there are some creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to deny....

Summary: From an academic point of view, Hell is a place of suffering. Of eternal torment. Of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Of as many adjective/noun combos Marketing is able to come up with on a short notice, each of them a variation on the same tune - Abandon all hope, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nothing new or show stopping, not really. Hell sucks ass by definition, and no matter what Danneel says about informed consent and contractual obligations, until a couple of weeks ago no one in their right mind would have gone all "hey, honey, how about ditching your mom’s Sunday dinner for that restaurant in the fifth circle?"

The operative words are 'until a couple of weeks ago' here. You know, before the coup. Before the organized trips. Before Jensen got yeeted out of both Lena’s bed and Earth while coming, which, ow.

Prompt: A one-night stand with a werewolf has unexpected consequences. After he is exiled from his pack, Tyee Grayson must learn to make it on his own. But one night with a beautiful stranger who has luminous blue eyes changes everything…. Especially when his instincts shout that she is the one. All elementary school teacher Jessica Brierly wanted was a night on the wild side, but when she finds herself pregnant, all the rules change. Not only does her lover have more secrets than she ever imagined, but suddenly they're both fighting off vampires. When vampires attack the town she dearly loves, Ty must work with his old pack to save them from a ruthless enemy who could kill not only his mate and his unborn child – but the entire human race.

Summary: Exiled from his pack Alpha Jensen and his how-the-fuck-did-I-get-pregnant human mate Jared face their fears, their growing attraction and a few hundred vampires.

Sorry about the late post, I thought I had posted this here but instead I had posted on my journal. There is a (fairly big) chance that I am not very bright.

We've puttered along through the challenge, but it seems like maybe forces are conspiring against some of our participants, throwing up roadblocks to the Happy Endings our characters deserve. And maybe having the challenge end near the Ides of March wasn't the most auspicious date (yes, I am re-watching HBO's Rome at the moment). So...

April 11th is the official Amnesty Day for this challenge. And to make it as easy as possible for people, the comm will stay open through that date, so that you can post your creations anytime between now and then. Please don't hesitate to post now if you've finished, but we understand that many of you want to polish up your entry and that takes a little extra time.

Last year we saw our beloved show come to an end, but that doesn't mean the desire to still tell their stories has, so lets do our best to give these characters all the happy endings!

Prompt: The Happy Baker : We've all been there. The blind date from hell. The Big Hurt. The guy who details his various surgeries over Caesar salad on the first date. Who needs a pint of rocky road when you can head to the kitchen and work out your heartache with a whisk and a bottle of wine? Erin Bolger has been there, dated that, and baked through it all. Turns out the more bitter the heartbreak, the sweeter the batter. So don't cry over bad dates, bad boyfriends, or bad breakups – whip up a batch of My-Mom-Didn't-Like-You-Anyway Cupcakes and bake yourself happy.

Summary: Jensen Ackles is happy. He has his café, two great employees, and Grizabelle, the neighbor's cat. He has a long-standing Friends with Benefit relationship, and is otherwise free and unattached. Good, Jensen is a grumpy cynic who doesn't think much of committed relationships. The young guy standing in his café one day won't change that. Because Jensen is happy, right?

Notes: This story has grown so close to my heart over the last few weeks that I hardly want to give it away. LOL. But with you I share them gladly. I didn't take many elements from the prompts except for the book title, but rather made my own story out of it. , I hope you'll like it anyway. The story is mainly Jensen's perspective. Should you be hoping for hot porn, I have to disappoint you. This story is all about a small cafe, the baker who is looking for his place in life, and a young man who has his own past. The story is funny, sad, and thoughtful. I hope you give it a chance, because it really means a lot to me.

Prompt: 32. Hissy Fit
The night before her wedding, in the middle of an oh-so-smart rehearsal dinner, interior decorator Keeley Murdock chances upon her fiancé and maid of honor in flaming flagrante delicto. Keeley throws the hissy fit to end all hissy fits and storms out. The next day, though, she has to deal not only personally with a broken engagement but also with her business being shut out by folks in a town financially obligated to her ex. Rescue comes in the form of the new owner of the local bra plant. This guy is a hunk but he's also a teensy bit weird, since he hires Keeley to redo the broken-down antebellum mansion he's bought for the woman of his dreams. The trouble is, he's never met said woman. So Keeley dives in and finds that true love can come even to those who throw humdinger hissy fits. [Original story by Mary Kay Andrews]

Summary: Jensen, an architect, is about to get married to the love of his life, the son of the biggest businessman in town. On his wedding day, Jensen, finds his soon-to-be husband, locked the bathroom in a flaming flagrante delicto, and throws a fit of epic proportions. In a small town like Maple Falls in Texas, the word travels fast and soon he finds that instead of his ex, it’s him facing the backlash from the folks because they are financially obligated to his ex. He’s at the end of the rope, when a billionaire business tycoon, Jared Padalecki, barges into the town on account of personal business and hires Jensen to redo the broken Southern Texan villa, that he claims to have bought for his boyfriend. But it doesn’t stop Jensen from falling head over heels for a man who’s already taken.

Prompt: 58- Melinda Amery awoke to the double-barreled deep blue eyes of Lieutenant Grady Sloan. A more formidable –- or handsome –- man she'd never seen. And he wanted answers about a murder. Only, Melinda had none. She had no recall, except she knew nothing good would come from remembering... Grady was the kind of cop who wouldn't let go until he got what he wanted. With his job on the line, he needed to break the case. But the only witness had amnesia -– and tormented dark eyes that needed healing. And Grady couldn't help his overwhelming attraction toward Melinda. But would her hidden memories reveal more than either of them wanted to know... ?

Summary: Everyone knows there’s hunting for sport and then there’s hunting for survival, even people who can’t remember their own name at the moment. The beautiful eyes of the man who tells him that they’re hunting something non-human tell a story that he knows he has to read all the way to the end.

Prompt: 34. Home to Seaview Key
Falling for a handsome stranger on the very morning they meet is hardly what recently divorced Abby Miller planned for her return to Seaview Key. Hoping to mend an old friendship and to give back to the community she loves, Abby's definitely not looking for love. For ex-soldier Seth Landry, Seaview Key seems like the perfect place to heal a broken heart…eventually. And when he rescues a beautiful woman on the beach, his nightmares about the past are eclipsed by daydreams about the future. Neither Abby nor Seth are looking for forever, but powerful love has its own timetable. And taking a chance on the future will test their courage in ways neither of them could possibly have anticipated.

Summary: After a messy breakup with an abusive boyfriend, Jensen returns to the small coastal town where he spent his summers as a child and young adult. He came home to heal, to give back to the town that gave him so much, and to mend an old friendship. He never expected to find love again, but the handsome ex-Marine who moved into the house next door might be just the man for the job. And why does it feel like the entire community is conspiring to bring them together?

Ember Alzate is a fantastic matchmaker with one big problem: she can't find the perfect mate for herself! Alzate family legend says that when she kisses "the One" she'll hear a mysterious humming in her head. Well, Ember's kissed a lot of guys and she's never heard a thing. Now, instead of searching for herself, she vows to find her best friend, Ranger Lockhart, a bride. It's clear this smart, sexy man just needs to meet the right gal. Ranger's returned home to Cupid with marriage on his mind, but he's not interested in the parade of women Ember pushes under his nose. His thoughts keep returning to his best friend -- with her combustible combination of curves and sass. No one compares to Ember, but what's it going to take to convince her she's the woman for him?

Summary Jared and Jensen are best friends. Jensen runs a matchmaking service that Jared employs in order to find Jared someone he can settle down with. After a couple of disastrous dates, Jared comes to the realization that Jensen is that person for him. Jensen has yet to find his “One”, believing in a family legend: when he kisses his “One”, he’ll hear a mysterious humming in his head. Can Jared convince Jensen they are meant to be together?
