Famous/Not Famous

[cocoplumb.livejournal.com]

Hi guys, I know there are a lot of these stories, esepcially on J2-Recs, but there's so many that I don't really know where to start so I thought I'd ask for somethings a little more specific:

1. One is famous and the other is not, the famous one is kind of an asshole upon their first meeting but makes emends later and appologises profusely as they were just having  bad day or smething.

2. One is famous and the other is not. Their first meeting is totally casual and chilled. I guess less of the 'OMG you're that guy! Oh wow you're SO hot I love you!' (basically exactly what I'd do if I met them) and more 'Oh hey dude, big fan'.

3. One is famous and the other is not. The not famous one is in a bit of a pickle (being yelled at by his boss, is a klutz and trips up, doesn't have enough cash to pay for their coffee, having a crappy day, etc) and the famous one helps them out in a kind act for a stranger type thing and they hit it off.

Appologies if these are a bit of a jumble but if anything here rings any bells for anyone in the vaguest manner, I'd love to give those stories a read :)

Gratutude in advance!

How about these three? :D

By All Means Rome (http://deirdre-c.livejournal.com/357261.html) - by deirdre_c (NC17, 28K)
Summary: Jared Padalecki is an American living in Rome and writing for a celebrity gossip magazine. One night he rescues a stranger off the street who turns out to be mega-star Jensen Ackles, two-time Oscar winner and notorious recluse. Jared thinks he can trick Jensen into giving him the story of a lifetime. Will he succeed? Or will twenty-four hours spent together in Rome change Jared’s life story forever? An AU based on the classic film, Roman Holiday.
(I also thought it has a smidge of Notting Hill about it too.)

Summary: Jensen is a famous actor and Jared is a college student. One day they meet, and nothing's the same again.

Summary: Struggling actor Jensen takes a job as big-shot movie star Jared Padalecki’s dogsitter. And the rest, as they say, is history.

For #3, this one has them in an established relationship but it's great - Fragile, Handle with Care (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1106757) by cleflink: "Katie didn't freeze so much as slide into a deliberate stillness. "You… walked into a door," she repeated slowly."

For #1 (more of a rich/not-rich than a famous story) - Rags and Riches (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3303497/chapters/7214807) by elenyasblood: "Jared knows everything about living a tough life on the streets of New York City. He's used to a growling stomach, doesn't need a bath everyday, and as long as he has his dog Harley at his side, no place is too far away, and no floor too hard to sleep on. The work can be hard and the nights long during winter in the city, but even though his pockets are always empty, Jared never actually feels robbed of anything. Valuing his freedom over the comfort of a small apartment, he lives his life under the stars, until one day, something unforeseen happens that will turn his whole life around, involving a rich, young business man named Jensen Ackles and a car accident in the middle of the night."

These are some of my favorites in the famous/not famous trope:

Apocalypse:Cancelled (http://jeyhawk-fic.livejournal.com/62095.html)
uly 7, 2008 at 2 a.m. in the morning a comet will hit Earth, destroying all human life. Humanity gets 54 hours to prepare and chaos ensues. A chance encounter has straight architect Jared Padalecki saving the life of deeply closeted movie star Jensen Ackles. The unlikely couple cling to each other during what they think will be their last days on earth, but what happens to the relationship they built when the world doesn't end after all?

Perfect (For You) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1881912?view_adult=true)
Jared forgot about his high-school crush long ago. At least he thought he did, until fate and his best friend Gen conspire to throw him in now-movie-star Jensen's path once more. Transforming his geeky persona into a well-built, somewhat-less-geeky one, Jared quickly wins the attention of the one man he never thought would be interested in him. But Jared doesn't know if it's the real him that Jensen sees, or just an illusion.

Star Struck (http://archiveofourown.org/works/5903?view_adult=true)
a J2 movie AU based on 'Notting Hill', featuring misunderstandings, secrets, lies, twists, turns, comic books, Japanese-Ethiopian fusion cuisine, a lesbian wedding, several fabulous movies that really should exist, heartache, tequila, some exceptionally awful blind dates, hot boy-on-boy sex, and true love.

This fic is awesome:

Faint Stars and Bright Satellite Skies Index (http://marishna.livejournal.com/352130.html)
It's a story made for Hollywood- a chance encounter between a regular, down-to-earth guy with his whole life planned out for him without a second thought and a well-known, popular movie star turns into something far bigger than either man could ever anticipate. Neither Jared Padalecki nor Jensen Ackles expect or want the complications that arise in their lives from their fast friendship- especially when it develops into something neither anticipated. While Jared accepts and tries to deal with his growing feelings for his famous friend, Jensen fights it every step of the way until his strictly controlled life, hidden behind a public persona, spins out of control.
