[meus_venator]

It's coming up on Halloween again and time to dust off the old caldron and open the Kettle of Trouble Halloween Meme — Take II here at j2_crack! We had some amazing fills last year, so, time to take up the torch, give us a prompt, or create something in fic, art, or vid, to celebrate Jared and Jensen and the trouble they can get up this Halloween.

And help spread the word – pimping banners below. We need to get the word out so folks will get their Boo On!

The Rules:

1) Comment to this post with any and all prompts for Kettle of Trouble. You want spells, witches, invisibility, tattoos from dusty books, herbal drinks with weird kickback, disastrous results from reading your lines aloud backwards, ancient objects you should never have touched, (and definitely never inserted) all with a Halloween twist? This is your meme! Channel all your ghoulish feels and crack on! Prompts can be kinky, porny, or gen, and other characters are welcome as long as the prompt includes at least Jared or Jensen.

2) Fill those prompts with fic or art or vid! Writers and artists, you don't have to follow the prompt to the letter, but try to help the prompter go home happy. More than one fill to a prompt is welcome.

3) For PROMPTS: Please list your pairing and any kinks when prompting, prompt as many times as you want, one prompt per comment.

WHEN FILLING IN: Please put "Filled" in the subject line along with a title for your fill. Linking to your own journal for fills is fine, but it would be preferred if you post both HERE and on your own journal. If it is a long fic. Do a j2_crack posting and link to it.
It just makes the meme page more exciting. But crack anywhere, anytime is fine.

4) And have fun doing it! It is j2_crack after all

5) Tell all your friends! And family or not

6) And spread the love. If needed we can provide a spell.

Jared/Jensen

There's a creepy old house at the end of a dead end street in Jared's town. He's heard tales about it his whole life. Sometimes it was said that it was haunted, others that a witch lived there. The house had such a reputation not even as high school students would he and his friends approach. it. But he gets a little drunk with friends while home from college on Halloween, and this time when his friends dare him to go up and knock on the door, he does ...

Fill: The house at the end of the street - Part 1

[reggie11.livejournal.com]

This is so ridiculously late, but better late than never I guess. The rest will be posted over the next couple of days.

Warnings: None for this part, but there'll be porn a little further on (do I even need to warn for that?)

The house at the end of Oak Street had been empty, broken down, and creepy as hell, for as long as Jared could remember. In fact, his mother had told him that it was spoken about, in fearful whispers, as being a haunted house back when she was in grade school, and her father had told her that children had thought the same when he himself was a boy. Normally, something like a rumored haunted house would have had the teenagers of the town clamoring to either investigate it, or use it as a make-out/party spot, but for some reason, even the bravado of teenagers wasn't quite enough to get anyone to actually go anywhere near it. The adults of the town, also, either avoided it because they too thought it was haunted, or the No Trespassing sign kept them away. Either way, nobody went near it, and if people had to pass by the house, they usually did so while keeping as much distance as possible. There were always taunts and dares of course, but to the best of Jared's knowledge, not a single person had ever taken the plunge.

Now here he was at twenty one years of age, home from college for Halloween, doing what was possibly the stupidest thing he'd ever done, or would ever do, in his whole life. A life that he hopes will be a long one, if he can just make it through the rest of the night.

Jared has had the same bunch of friends since Grade School, and out of all of his friends, Chad has always been the one most likely to get him into some sort of trouble, and it seemed tonight wasn't going to be any exception. Jared never had been able to back down from a dare where Chad was concerned—he has the tattoo of a Rocky and Bullwinkle on his ass (don't ask), that proves that point quite colorfully and permanently.

All six of them had been at Max's Halloween party, drinking way more than was probably advisable, but hell...it was Halloween after all, and you're supposed to get dressed in stupid costumes, get drunk, and act like idiots. It was Connor who had brought up the house on Oak Street, which was actually pretty standard Halloween conversation, with everyone speculating about why the house had been empty for so long. Stories of past owners who might have died there, witches covens practicing black magic, and one rumor – which nobody Jared knew had ever been able to substantiate – about a murder there in the 1920s.

And that's when it happened. Chad had dared Jared to walk up and knock on the door. Jared could admit to himself, even if he wouldn't admit it to Chad, that he was scared absolutely shitless at the thought. Because even if he was a grown-ass man now, the house really was that damn spooky, and rumors usually have some basis in fact, right? But after all the liquid courage at the party and the obligatory goading from Chad, Jared foolishly accepted and the group had set off.

His friends watched from across the street as Jared fought to open the rusty gate and push his way under the low hanging branches from overgrown trees, through the overly long grass, to the sagging front porch. He had a flashlight they'd snaffled from Max's house, but even though it was pretty bright, and the moon was clear and full, it wasn't anywhere near light enough for Jared's liking.

The giggling from his friends stopped the moment Jared used the big brass door-knocker, and everyone held their collective breath. Jared had one foot on the porch and one on the top step ready to flee at the slightest noise or movement. When long moments ticked by and nothing happened, he started feeling a little braver, waving to his friends as he shone the torchlight in a sweeping arc, up and down the length of the decaying wooden structure. He stepped past an ancient broken porch swing and shone the light past rotting, moth-eaten curtains into the front room of the house. He couldn't see much through the grime, but it looked in much better shape inside than it did outside.

When nothing at all happened; no clanking of chains, no Boo Radley jumping out at him, not a single peep other than the slight breeze rustling through leaves, Jared did a drunken pirouette on the top step and bowed to his friends. As he began to retreat he heard a sound so faint, he wasn't sure he actually heard anything at all, but for a moment it sounded remarkably like a human sigh. He stopped dead in his tracks and listened. His fight or flight instinct going from high to overdrive, but when he heard nothing but the same breeze through the trees and the nervous laughter from his friends, he put it down to his overactive imagination running away with him.

As he sauntered back toward the group, stumbling a few times over broken paving stones, his bravado was back in full force. He'd done what nobody else that he knew of had been brave enough to do. That's when he'd made his next mistake. He drunkenly bragged about how courageous he was to Chad...and that's how he found himself in his current predicament, so terrified that he thinks he may have peed a little, and wondering if he'll live to see the morning.
