Summary: Jensen Ackles was a man on the run. Sure, his name was revered by the Sentient Android Rights Movement, but he was just another face in a sea of J-N_S56s. He had won his freedom in a court of law, but his previous Mistress and Master cared little for the law. Jensen had been on the run for almost ten years and he'd stayed free because he was smart and kept to himself.

When Jensen met Jared, he tossed him out the door as soon as he could. Jared wasn't pushed away so easily though. Jared came back but unfortunately, so did Jensen's former mistress. On the run with Jared at his side, Jensen struggles with his emotions, and the fear that his programming might be taking over. Jared is far more tempting than anything Jensen has ever faced. How can he keep them both safe when he's fighting with himself while on the run from the people who want to put him back in a gilded cage?

I have to admit, when I originally made this, I had something dark in mind, but then my author pleasantly surprised me by writing something rather sweet and fairy tale like :-)

that goes beyond how this ep has made Sam lose what little sympathy he still had left after s8.

In fact here are several things I can say about this ep, some are even positive, and I probably will sooner or later.

But I can say one thing that this ep proved beyond a doubt.

There is no way that Sam is a bottom or submissive in any meaning of the world. he's far too dominant, demanding to be in control of every aspect of his life. The idea of Sam submitting to anyone just goes beyond any suspension of disbelief I could ever get past.
