Summary
Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.
Jensen Ackles is no stranger to loss. Both of his parents are gone, and today he’s burying his only brother after a dangerous rescue gone wrong. Jensen knows the tradition—that the fire department would send someone to help him as a way of honoring their late captain—but the last thing he needs is another firefighter hanging around, reminding him of what he lost. He especially doesn’t want to see this particular firefighter.
The Jared Padalecki that Jensen knew was wild, cocky, and always chasing the next rush. After parting ways three years ago, Jensen thought he’d never have to see him again. Little did he know that Jared was transferred to his brother’s station just months before his death, catapulting them back into each other’s lives. Now, if Jensen has any chance of climbing out of this darkness, he’s going to have to accept a lifeline from the man he swore he’d never forgive.
