Notes: Here's the scoop, folks: ages ago, radiophile hit me with this prompt, and then I kinda got stuck on it, and then I kinda realized that it was going to be a long one, and here we have it. I have her to thank. I also have my darling flawlessglitch to thank for always having my back, and I probably owe glovered and ocean full of booze for taking this thing on with no time to spare and making it so much better than it was 48 hours ago. Thanks to my lovely artist, mithborien, for taking my downright dodgy draft and making something beautiful out of it.  Also, many, many thanks to the darling mods of spn_j2_bigbang for running such a tight ship. Title misappropriated from Murder by Death. Here's hoping it went to a good cause.



Summary:  A few nights a week, Jared lights a candle in the window and opens the doors to his speakeasy, welcoming one and all, so long as they know the password and how to keep their mouths shut. When the liquor starts to dry up and the revenuers start closing in, Jared is forced to hang all of his fortunes on Jensen, a bootlegger who offers him a lot of pretty promises and an even prettier smile. Together, they set off on a run that will take them from mountain hollows to metropolitan hideouts, from backwoods shacks to ritzy hotels and all points in between. They couldn't be more different; Jared is unassuming, low-keyed, and Jensen is as flashy as his souped-up Buick, but they soon discover that they have a lot more than moonshine in common.

Dude, I am soooo sloooooow. And then once I got up to me ears in it, I knew that it was going to be very very long, ergo, bigbang! I hope you enjoy, my dear, and thanks so much for the idea in the first place.

Title misappropriated from Murder by Death.

This might sound stupid... but are you talking about a band? Is there now a band called 'Murder by Death'?
Because, if you are talking about one of my favorite movies of all time, I don't remember any of the characters speaking these words.

Also, this sounds really interesting - can't wait to start reading!

Yes, an awesome band! I listened to them almost exclusively while writing this. The title is from Sometimes the Line Walks You, and the full lyric is 'women and gin go together like the devil and sin. Seemed appropriate, sorta.

Hope you like the fic!

This was such a great ride, Ri. I love the progression of their relationship, the way it feels like it really was set in that time, the adventures they had, and how you really fleshed them out as individual characters. Awesome :)

How did I miss this comment before? Thank you so much E!!! So lovely to hear that you though the relationship was organic, and, well, you know I'm a sucker for roadtrip fic. Very happy to hear that this did the trick for you! ♥

So, so lovely. So vivid. Just perfect and sweet and amazing. You have all these simple little details that just slay me. Example: Jensen takes off his hat and sets it down on the car before he kisses Jared. I really, really need to start going back and reading through your backlist.

XOXOOX to this vic!

:)

THANK YOU. Really, thank you thank you. I know that real life has been bonkers for you recently, and it means so much that you carved out time to read this. And thank you even more for pointing out that little bit about Jensen taking his hat off--hands down my favorite little move in the whole story, and I've been waiting and hoping that someone picked up on it. It's the little stuff, y'know?

Hope your enjoy the backlist (and please god, ignore some of the older stuff--I still cringe at me early attempts at getting my land-legs in this fandom, lo those many years ago). ♥!!!
