"Postcards from the Animal House" & "All that lies before you"

[turlough]

My prompt table/list.

Claim: Nsync: Lance Bass
Title: Postcards from the Animal House
Author: Lennie, at Entendre Intended and thebitchtrolls
Characters: Nsync, BSB, Pink, Britney, Kelly, Wade, Leighanne, Bruno the tiger
Prompt: 02 AU
Rating: -
Length: long (four parts, unfinished)
Brief summary: The only thing I don't like about this story is that it's unfinished, though it still works as it is I would have loved to hear more about the wacky scientists and animal keepers at the Stephen Savage Zoo. This is really a wonderful AU! Nothing feels forced, all the guys really work in the roles Lennie's put them in, the dialogue is excellent, and the glimpses we get into the different characters interesting and thoughtprovoking.

Characters: Nsync, sundry Greeks
Prompt: 46 Reccer's Choice
Rating: -
Length: medium
Brief summary: The premise of this story is delightfully unusual: Nsync meets the Greek gods. The result is a wonderfully evocative story, detailed, lush, and very, very sensual.

"Mystery" & "Stay of Execution"

My prompt table/list.

Claim: Nsync: Lance Bass
Title:
Author: Em, at nslashmirror
Characters: Nsync
Prompt: 21 Epiphany
Rating: NC-17
Length: medium
Brief summary: Chris can't figure Lance out, he's a complete mystery to him. In this story we see Lance completely through Chris' at first suspicious and later almost obsessed but still puzzled eyes. This intense story had an enormous impact on me when I read it very early on in my popslash reading career and re-reading it now I find that it's just as good as I remembered it.

Claim: Nsync: Lance Bass
Title: Stay of Execution
Author: Velma & aMuse, at Velma and aMuse
Characters: Lance, Chris, Joey in absentia
Prompt: 37 Make-up
Rating: explicit sex
Length: medium
Brief summary: Joey is the absent matchmaker in this story, getting Chris and Lance to remember something they're both firmly convinced are completely over. There is nothing unusual about either the set-up or the evolution of this story, though both are excellently handled, it's the ending that sets it off from many other similar stories. It acknowlegdes that make-up sex isn't a panacea, that both second and third thoughts are inevitable in this situation, and while it ends on a note of hope there is still a lot of ambiguity about what will happen in the future.

Title: Close Encounters
Author: amific (amireal)
Characters: The McShep
Prompt: 11: Character Study
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium
Brief summary: A FirstTime fic. John & Rodney keep getting stuck in very small places during missions, and John discovers the physical effects it's having on McKay, which the latter explains as a crush. This one is a classic, with great McShep moments, and Sheppard trying not to freak out, because of his own feelings. The story also has a sequel, All Brand New, by seperis

Title: Hearing is Believing
Author: vanwaelda
Characters: McShep and the Evil Aliens
Prompt: 09: Hurt/Comfort
Rating: NC-17
Length: Epic
Brief summary: Paraphrasing the grandfather from The Princess Bride, the story is about capture, torture, chases, escapes and true love. Sheppard wakes up in the infirmary, without McKay, and has flashbacks of what happend to them. That's how we learn that they were captured, tortured, chased and escaped... But then something bad happened.
The story has a good pace and the author navigates brilliantly between the past and the present, and the ending is beautiful.

Author: Sola Fiamma, at When Wrong Feels Right and sola_fiamma
Characters: Lance, a down on his luck fairy, the boyband known as Nsyc
Prompt: 15 Crack!Fic
Rating: -
Length: medium

Claim: Nsync: Lance Bass
Title: Nothing Better
Author: Trixie, at Isn't That Something? and trixiesfic
Characters: Lance, Chris
Prompt: 24 Future Fic
Rating: -
Length: short
Brief summary: The writer calls this story a "self-indulgence" but I can't find anything wrong with this quiet, contemplative little story. It shows us a snapshot of Lance and Chris at night, in the bus, somewhere between Denver and Santa Fe, on Chris' latest tour. There is so much love, so much shared history, so much happiness in it it's a joy to read.

Forbidden Fruit,

[fairestcat]

My table is here

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Prompt: Seduction
Title: Forbidden Fruit
Author: cupidsbow
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium
Brief summary:

Quite possibly the hottest PG-13 fic you will ever read. Seriously. This story is hotter than most of the actual porn I see posted on a daily basis. John chooses a very hot and very public, yet totally deniable way to finally seduce Rodney. You may never look at a mango the same way again. Rodney certainly won't.

Link: Forbidden Fruit

Claim: Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney McKay
Prompt: Kiss
Title: Fifth Kiss
Author: brighidestone
Rating: PG-13
Length: medium
Brief summary:

Rodney only counts the kisses that matter. This is one of my favorite examples of the "5 Kisses" genre of fic, combining insightful glimpses into Rodney's backstory with a pitch-perfect John/Rodney ending. It always amazes me how some writers can fit so much emotional depth into just a few choice words, and this fic is a perfect example of that.

Title: The Epic of the Lambs - Straight Out From Underneath
Author: Donna, at It's A Dirty Story and withdiamonds
Characters: Nsync, Johnny Wright, Britney Spears, Wade Robson, assorted parents, crew, hangers-on, bodyguards etc. etc.
Prompt: 23 Time
Rating: explicit sex
Length: epic (25 chapters)
Brief summary: Alternating past and present Donna tells us both the story of Lance and Justin's first attempt at a relationship, as well as the story of Nsync's reunion and the complex situation between the two of them then. This story seems simple and straightforward on the surface, but a closer look reveals a multitude of details and allusions giving it depth and resonance, the past and the present intertwines, one story ends and another begins. This is a truly fantastic story, one of the best to have been written in the fandom for years.
