My heart bleeded, girl

Aiieee. My j2_everafter posting date is today. The story's not done. It will be! It's almost there! I have all day, right? I'll be out all afternoon! Ahhhh. No, I'm just tweaking it, really. It's finished, it actually is. Omg, I've had *how* many months to write this? Several! Many! What is *wrong* with me?

Title: The Whole Kit and Caboodle
Pairing: J2
Word Count: 9500ish
Warnings: None
Notes: Written for j2_everafter. Movie: The Apple Dumpling Gang. Thanks as always to topaz119, especially for listening to me say "Omg, why aren't I writing?" ten times a day.
Summary: Oh, wow, how do I even summarize this. Based on one of the worst movies ever made? I'm afraid this is kid!fic? Jared and Jensen are not Don Knotts and Tim Conway, or even the characters they played in this movie. Thank goodness. Okay, here goes. Forced to stop for a day or two (by the fact that the stagecoach is uncomfortable) on his journey out West, Jensen Ackles finds himself in a small, dusty Nevada town. Passing the time (and trying to win enough money to buy a horse so he never has to take the stagecoach again) with a very lengthy poker game, Jensen soon finds himself in possession (don't ask) of three orphaned children. With the help of the tall, handsome owner of the General Store, (very convenient, since it takes a lot of supplies to wrangle children) Jensen makes a home in Red Gulch. Will he and Jared find a way to save the children from their evil uncle and fall madly in love in the process? (What do you think?)
