biggles_slash_archiveIt's a very long time since I've posted here but in the vague hope that some of you might still be out there I'm sharing a fic from this years J2 big bang. It was a cracking good read and inserted the J's into the WE Johns world very succesfully. Also the slash is scorching :D
Title: Through Mist or Open Sky

Pairings: J2, Jared/Jensen/JDM, unrealised JDM/OMC

Word Count: 27,500
Summary: When Jeff Morgan swapped his Sopwith Camel for a civilian aeroplane at the end of the Great War, he didn't expect ever to engage in another aerial combat. But the downside to having friends in high places is that every favour must ultimately be repaid. When, in 1940, an aerial Battle for Britain starts to look likely, Wing Commander Richings determines that a special kind of squadron will be needed to head the defence -- and he wants Jeff to head the experiment. It isn't a request.
275 Squadron seem a motley crew at first. The three Flight Lieutenants, Ackles, Padalecki and Collins, are all unmanageable in their own unique ways, and only the presence of an old friend on base sees Jeff through a difficult first couple of weeks. But as rumours of total air warfare become realised, Jeff learns that first impressions don't always tell the full story, and that nothing constitutes disaster unless you let it.
Warnings: Character death (non-pairing).

spn_j2_bigbang. Thank you to mistyzeo for beta-ing, and for some excellent suggestions! It's thanks to her that you will find the occasional unfamiliar term or acronym explained in the text with a mouseover box. Thanks also to my artist banbury, who brought some very personal touches to her art. This story is very, very loosely based on Spitfire Parade by Capt. WE Johns. The title is from Alfred Noyes' delightfully horrible poem, To The RAF.
