wearemany
Characters: Lance, Chris, the rest of Nsync, Germans of mixed genders and sexual orientations
Prompt: 47 Reccer's Choice
Rating: -
Length: medium
Brief summary: Chris really sucks at protecting people from themselves. A very well-written story from the early days in Germany. Characterisation, atmosphere, dialogue, everything about it really, feels exactly right.
"You know, some people actually know how to say no. Nein." Chris squinted. Lance was. Pretty was so not the right word for how he looked, because under the eyeliner and a deep stain on each cheek that Chris was pretty sure wasn't rouge, Lance looked. He looked strong and sure of himself.
"But she's your friend," Lance said. "I didn't want to be rude."
"And look where that got you," Chris said. "We really have to work on this tendency you have to be so obliging."
"We really have to work on this tendency you have to be such a pain in the ass," Lance shot back.

Characters: Lance, Chris, the rest of Nsync
Prompt: 48 Reccer's Choice
Rating: sex
Length: long
Brief summary: This is one of the first stories I ever read in popslash and quite probably the cause of my strong love of the Chris/Lance pairing. In this story it is Chris who is the schemer, getting Lance to go along with his plans, and putting strange new ideas in his head. It's at once serious and funny, with great dialogue and atmosphere.
Lance grabbed it back. "It's not a plan," he said firmly, and was left with an expectant Chris waiting for him to carry on. "Well, why me?" he asked eventually, feeling sulky.
Chris laughed. "What, I'd go for one of the others? No chance. Lance, you're... well, you're fem, for one."
Lance gave a strangled, incredulous laugh, shaking his head. "No, no, no way am I gonna pretend to be with you because you say I'm fem," he said, and it was louder than he'd expected. "Just forget it, Chris, seriously, just let the whole idea wander right back out your head and -"
"You're hot, Lance," Chris interrupted, a slightly challenging look on his face. "So shut up and play computer games with me."
"Hot," Lance said, hearing his heart go loud. "Are you hitting on me?"
"You are slow," Chris said, sounding amazed that anyone could be as slow as Lance, as if it was criminal. "Listen to me, okay? Not hitting on you. Not saying you're camp. Just, fuck, can't a guy suggest to another guy that they should pretend to date to piss off some journalists anymore?" He was grinning. "What's the world coming to, I ask ya."
Lance knew he was being played like a cheap date, but couldn't deny that he felt better. Mollified, kinda. Chris said he was hot - he kinda liked hearing that.
