Underbelly:The Series by [livejournal.com profile] cards_slash

Did I tell you guys about this story? It's a werewolf story--wait! Before you make the face--"ewwww, werewolves, ick!" or even before you go all, "Oh, yay, sensitive emo werewolves emoing all over the woods 'n shit" (not that there's anything wrong with that), I must warn you, I have *never* read a were story like this. It's different, in the very best way. These aren't just werewolves, they're alien creatures. Their concerns and desires are so *not* human that it kind of knocks you for a loop. Every cliche you've ever read in a werewolf story gets turned on its head and leaves you floundering.

Jared is the focus, a geek who's into all things wolves and werewolves. It's the story of Jared getting steamrollered by the 'real', ugly, and also beautiful, world these weres live in. Jensen is his soul-mate, and boy, that's a whole 'nother thing in this 'verse. Let me put it this way--it will kill dead any glittery, lace-trimmed, heart-shaped, ideas about soul-mates you might have.

[livejournal.com profile] cards_slash presents fully fleshed out characters, a fascinating backstory and believable world-building here. The character Jensen is *most* fascinating--I'd love to know what you think of him if you read this--and you should.
