Claim:*NSYNC, JC Chasez
Title: nobody's birthday

Author: Merry ([livejournal.com profile] merryish and her popslash at anyroad.org)
Characters: JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, other members of *NSYNC, etc.
Prompt: 42. Holiday
Rating: R
Length: medium (5095 words)
Summary: Oh, oh. Merry writes such a wonderful JC, not too complex and not too simple, but sensual and always pleasuring in the pleasure of others. This story is about JC and how he loves Joey. The holiday parts are in the beginning, and it's just so happy and warm and perfect all the way through. The content that JC feels in this story, the appreciation and the friendship, it all feels very real, insofar as JC may not actually be gay with Joey. If JC was gay with Joey, this is how he would be gay with him. And that is so how they would spend Christmas.


Chris comes back with honey and champagne and potato chips and Justin and Lance, who met up in Denver and flew to Vancouver together. JC hugs them all, even Chris again, and hides the Dr. Demento CD. He puts Carol of the Bells back in, loops it, and puts a Do Not Touch!! Or Else!! sign on the CD player. When Chris stomps off to pretend to pout, JC hides the remote.
New Year's Eve is bright and clear and JC is by himself at the lake when Joey arrives. He's thinking of all the parties they should've gone to, except this is time they need. They need to be together more now, because they weren't for so long, and there are empty places in their heads where four other voices should be. JC feels codependent as hell and thinks he should see somebody, but he's afraid he might get better. He sits on his dock Indian-style with his gloved hands fisted in his jacket pockets for warmth, and looks up at the low, grey sky. The cold has made things still, and he can see his breath, hear his own heartbeat. From the house he can hear occasional laughter ringing out but that's just another part of the quiet.

He didn't hear a car and he nearly falls in the lake when Joey grabs his shoulders, but Joey has a good grip and JC doesn't fall. He flies into Joey's arms instead, holding on with all his strength and saying "JoeyJoeyJoeyJoey!" into Joey's ear. Joey squeezes back and JC's back pops and they both laugh and hold on tighter.

Claim:*NSYNC, JC Chasez
Title: trashy

Author: Beth ([livejournal.com profile] beth666ann and her popslash at unaware)
Characters: JC Chasez, Bobbie Thomas, etc.
Prompt: 5. Sex
Rating: NC-17
Length: short (1043 words)
Summary: The best summary of this story is on the page itself. This is a finely crafted JC and Bobbie, gorgeously oblivious to everyone's reactions to their style: looking like trash and fucking like treasure. To quote: Wonderful, horrible devastation; fabulous, fabulous clothes. If JC's not a little like this on the inside, I would be very surprised.


"No, I'm serious here. Because we know for a fact that he's always looked stupid, and hey, I'm more than willing to believe that she's always looked slutty, but now they both look stupid and slutty, and that's just -- it's not good. They've infected each other."

Lance laughs again. "Thing is, Chris, I think that in their heads it's just -- I think they think they're the most gorgeous people here."

Chris stares hard at them. "Yeah, well, maybe they are, but there's still no excuse for clothes like that."
