In search of a specific J2 fic

[shannie541.livejournal.com]

In this story, Jared was an actor (I think?) and a relative died leaving him property that no one else in the family particularly cared for. He gets there and finds Jensen out in the cold and sick and he, along with a woman who also cared for the house (Sam Ferris, maybe?), they take care of Jensen. He's perceived as being challenged, I believe, but he and Jared bonded and eventually got together. I'm sparse on the details, but I'd appreciate any suggestions.

(Any other fics like this featuring a down-on-his-luck Jensen that eventually leads to J2 or Cockles??)

Pretty sure it's aelia1980's The Missing Piece (http://aelias-fics.livejournal.com/36867.html)

Summary: Jared’s life is good; his family might call him "loser" but he has everything he dreams of: more money than he can spend, cool friends to hang out with, and chicks to bang whenever he wants to. It could go on like this, but then Jared’s life takes an unexpected turn when his grandma leaves him her old, long abandoned apple farm in Vermont. Because the inheritance is made with the proviso that only Jared can rebuild the farm, he fulfills his grandmother’s wish and moves to the tiny town of River’s End, where everyone but Sam, the owner of the local inn, holds a grudge against Jared’s family. On the night Jared arrives, a homeless man collapses in front of the inn. John, the town vagrant, can’t remember anything of his life prior to when he woke up in a field, only clad with a cloak, and a single, torn and stained page of a mysterious book in its pocket. Even though Jared is repulsed by John’s state and doesn’t want to have anything to do with the tramp, he helps Sam to take care of him. Soon enough, Jared learns that there is a sad, mysterious story and a kind heart beneath all those layers of dirt. Jared and John become friends, and help each other to see the best in themselves. As their friendship strengthens, John begins to fall in love with Jared. Jared also starts to develop confusing feelings for his friend. All he wants to do is protect his John and help him find his true name. Can they make it and find the missing pieces in their lives?

I don't know the specific story you're requesting, but I recently read a similar fic called Beholder (http://sandymg.livejournal.com/37314.html)by sandymg and it sounds like you would like it :)

I absolutely love this J2 fic with down-on-his-luck, homeless, amnesic Jensen.

If you don't mind a self-rec http://archiveofourown.org/works/1397812/chapters/2929576

Jensen Ackles was pulled into an ocean of drugs and prostitution by a mother who was already drowning in it.
Jared Padalecki started sticking his fingers down his throat in response to a world that insisted anyone who wasn't rail-thin was ugly.
They both meet under terrible circumstances and find themselves doing their best to put the broken pieces of each other back together again. But things like that are easier said than done.
