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.

Amnesty Day by Popular Demand!

[phoenix1966]

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!

It's Meant To Be!
