Claim: *N Sync: Chris/Joey
Title: It’s a Kind of Magic
Author: Lois Lane
Characters: Chris, Joey, Lance, Justin, JC
Prompt: 33. Crossover
Rating: PG
Length: Short.
Brief summary: This is one of the best crossovers I’ve ever read, because even with no knowledge at all of the second fandom (Harry Potter, btw), the story works. It really doesn’t crossover characters, but universes, and now Chris is a wizard, who studied in the American equivalent of Hogwarts, and now is trying to make a living in the muggle world without being discovered. It’s not really an AU, as he is in *N Sync, and the whole story works, blending JKRowlings world with the real one almost seamlessy. One of the many stories that make me wish Lois Lane was still writing popslash.
They'd sat down, and talked, and by the end of the evening knew almost everything there was to know about each other. Joey was a phenomenon looking for a place to happen, it was like he was waiting for history to come by, and he'd jump on, right where he needed to be in order to make it. He was -that- kind of a person. He didn't know how he knew, but Chris just -knew-.
Maybe he figured it out when he heard Joey sing. Chris had never heard him before, but at one point they discovered a mutual appreciation for Queen - which baffled Chris, because Joey was, like, eighteen - and of course that led to a drunken rendition of "Good Old-Fashioned Loverboy," and Chris decided that day that Joey was the best singer he'd ever heard.
He still was, even six years later, after they'd met JC, and Justin, and that weird kid from Mississippi, and become a group, the biggest fucking pop group this side of Revolver. Somehow, Chris had managed to keep his talents - the otherworldly ones, anyway - a secret not just from Joey, and the rest of the guys, but the whole freaking world.
It was amazing what some talented PR people could do. Especially if you made sure that you hired only fellow alumni.

Title: Forever Means Forever
Author: Meghan
Characters: Chris, Joey, Lance, Brianna
Prompt: 36. Family
Rating: G.
Length: Short.
Brief summary: It’s Christmas, and Joey is leaving Chris to spend it with Kelly and Brianna, leaving Chris broken hearted. One of the things about popslash, is that good writers manage to add the canon to their stories no matter what, and Joey’s daughter appears in a lot of fics. This one, although it does fall in the ‘Kelly is not the nicest woman around’ category, manages to make the family theme work, without sidetracking too much in angst, or sex.
“You know you belong with Joey and I don’t know why you have to be so melodramatic about this. He loves you and he had every intention of spending Christmas with you, but you know what…he has a daughter that he loves too and that he has to be there for. He is a father Chris and with that comes some responsibilities that he has to take care of, like being there for her and actively raising her,” Lance scolded. Joey had been panicked when Chris left their home without telling him and further still when he remained unheard from. “If you weren’t such an idiot, you’d be with Joey right now instead of in this dingy café. Man, it’s Christmas Eve and you’re freaking people out with your little disappearing act.”
