insta-rec of the J2 variety

I very seldom do these, but this story deserves to be recced all over the damn place:

As This Sunset Turns to Morning, by _mournthewicked. It's a high-school a/u, and it is an absolutely stunning piece of storytelling. It has angst and schmoop, and romance, and it's a long, long read (86K!!) with a lot of character development, and wonderful secondary characters. It'll break your heart in places, and then mend it back together again.

Author's summary: Jensen spends his life hiding who he is from the family that would never accept him if they knew. When he’s uprooted in the middle of his senior year and suddenly becomes the new kid, his carefully placed mask begins to slip. Especially when he meets Jared – a loud, outspoken spectacle of a boy that fights for everything Jensen was taught to stand against. Jared has no problem going after what he wants, and now it’s just a matter of Jensen letting himself do the same.

Go read it, you'll be glad you did :)
