Brief summary: Kaelie is one of the few JuC writers who writes amazingly every single time and she also manages to write great and original storylines. This entire story is told through the eyes of an original female character who plays the role of JC's girlfriend but it's such a different twist on it. You can't help but feel sorry and be intrigued by this girl and the entire time I read it (and re-read it), I just kept nodding as if yes, she was a real person and she was really telling her story to all the fans. It's a definite must-read for all JuC fans out there, and maybe all fans who sometimes wish they could date that celebrity of theirs for just a short time.

He used to have a fairly high-profile girlfriend, but she seemed to spend most of her time on the west coast. She hadn't seen the girlfriend at the WEG campus once, and had been surprised to see her name on the company payroll. She'd asked the payroll manager why this was, and had gotten a sharp "none of your business," that she had not forgotten. She was a quick learner. Asking questions did not get you ahead here.

She wasn't the most beautiful girl doing part-time, special event type work for the publicity part of the entertainment organization, but she was very pretty in a quiet sort of way. She had symmetrical features, good skin, a perfect hourglass figure (real), blonde hair (not real), and knew how to dress. She was quiet, polite, and did what she was told. She handled personality conflicts well, and bit her tongue when the higher-ups in the organization gave snippy or unreasonable orders.

Title: "Something Like Dharma"
Author: Mya

Prompt: Future Fic
Rating: PG
Warnings: //
Length: Long - 11 parts
Brief summary: The story takes place about 8 years in the future. Justin's finally finished his solo run after a hard time and JC's had a life of changes. Joey tries to help them along the way and this is a story that I really really wish could happen in real life. I want this to be the guys 8 years down the road because it would be so right. There are highs and lows of this story and it really makes you just want to keep rooting for them even though you don't understand the entire vibe. Well-written and I really wish Mya would come back to write more.

He shuffled down the crowded New York streets, unaccustomed to not having mobs of people surrounding him but a few recognizing eyes instead glancing briefly at him before continuing on their way. Choosing to walk to Joey's upscale, ritzy apartment rather than grab a cab, he wandered down the streets anticipating his grand return.

"What do you have to be sorry for? I don't want your pity if you mean it in that connotation because I don't need it and you never did anything wrong if you meant it that way."

"I had an idea." JC's voice was barely above a whisper, cracking when he spoke even at a low volume. "If I would have said something maybe things wouldn't have had to turn out this way."

"JC, if there's one idea that I've had hammered into my head over the past year when dealing with this, its that everything happens for a reason."
