School sucks and I am a little late posting this. OH, WELL.

Post the first sentence (or three) from every WIP you're currently working on, even if it's very short. Then invite people to ask questions about your WIPs. With any luck, the motivation to take that WIP one step closer to completion will appear as if by magic!
1. The platform under him was iron, Zack could tell, the press of chill metal warming him in a way that had nothing to do with temperature and everything to do with the comforting tingle of strength easing into his body from the close proximity. Even better was the fact that he was underground, at least 30 feet below unless he missed his guess. It was that more than anything that convinced him he was probably in safe hands.
2. "I need a good reason for spending a lot of time at the hospital for the next... while," Jared blurted, eyes not quite managing to get high enough to meet Jensen's. "I figured that a boyfriend who worked there would be a pretty good excuse."
3. "Look buddy, whether you're dead or not has nothing to do with me. I'm just the ferryman. Go to H.R. down in the Eighth Circle if you want to put in a claim." Not that any claims actually went through, but this nitwit could probably do with a century or two of sitting around waiting for his number to be called. "Now are you getting in the boat or not?"
4. The worst part was that this was all his own damn fault. Not just for wandering into the forest at night without so much as a flashlight - though that was certainly Grade-A idiocy at work right there - but for being dumb enough to stomp off in a girly teenage huff because Jared fucking Padalecki had a boyfriend.
5. Before he'd met Jensen Ackles, Jared had had no idea how much you could touch somebody else without getting laid.
6. "Why is your kitchen staff answering your phone anyway?"
"I'm making bread dough," Jared explained. "No free hands."
"Why don't you buy a Bluetooth or something?"
Jared shrugged and nearly lost the phone in the process. "Tried it for a while. But then I got jam on it and it stopped working."
7. The postcard says it's from Okinawa, but Jensen knows that's not where Jared mailed it from; Jared knows that Jensen hates having the surprise ruined by a postcard. Besides, Jared was in Japan the year before last. There's no way he's gone back so soon.
8. "Not so good at taking your own advice?" is what comes out of his mouth instead, voice ahead of brain as usual. Jensen doesn't answer and the words keep rolling out in a reckless kind of challenge. "Or are wish fairies too busy making other people's dreams come true that they're never allowed to make themselves happy?"
9-agh. Whee! I am bad at finishing stuff!

More of number two! Which might not help at all, but there you go!
Jared hesitated. "I'm her teacher," he said finally, eyes dropping back to the table. "At St. Mary's. Her parents both work - they can't come during the day so she's all alone. I... I want to be there for her. However I can." He breathed out an unhappy laugh. "I couldn't be there for her when it matters and I just-" his shoulders lifted in a helpless shrug. "I don't know what else to do."
*clings back* Jesus Murphy, school is kicking my ass. I'm out on block again in two weeks so EVERYTHING is due right now. It is a colossal pain in the ass. Though I did get to dress up like Justin Bieber for a presentation yesterday, which was... an experience. I have no idea how skinny jeans and hair in your eyes is a sensible fashion choice.
HUUUUUGGGGGGS.

Oh, and I guess I forgot this year's bigbang:
Luckily, Jensen's ability was so low-key and, quite frankly, useless that there had never been any pressure from his parents for him to join the ranks of the caped do-gooders. Sidekick status had been out as well, which was a benefit to just about anybody. About the only thing Jensen's not-particularly-super power was good for was his job.
By which I mean, yay superheroes!
Also, hello new friend! ^_^ *waves*
