Wilt, Textbook Case

Claim: *N Sync: Chris/Joey
Title: Wilt
Author: turps33
Characters: Chris, Joey
Prompt: 06. Anger
Rating: PG
Length: Short
Brief summary: Joey needs some time alone. A short fic, that delves mostly in Joey’s state of mind at the moment, although Chris’s reactions are also described in detail. It’s a very brief window into their lives, but as a vignette, works perfectly fine.
"You're in deep shit."
Chris says it calmly, but he's anything but calm, anger sparking in his eyes. Even dressed down he's a glaring exception in this bar, so vibrant against the dark that Joey has to look away. He picks at a coaster, the sodden cardboard squishing under his fingers.

Claim: *N Sync: Chris/Joey
Title: Textbook Case
Author: Arsenic
Characters: Chris, Joey, JC, Lance, Justin
Prompt: 37. Make up
Rating: PG
Length: Long
Brief summary: Arsenic has only written two Chris/Joey fics, and this one was the first. AU where all the guys are in a boarding school, and Chris, being there thanks to a scholarship, ends up tutoring Joey, becoming his roommate for the semester. Despite the fact that the school has a ‘system’ for situational homosexuality which means that they can have a relationship without anyone getting suspicious, both manage to misunderstand the other and have a couple of big fights before and after getting together. All in all, an incredible read.

"Chris, my parents think I'm straight."
"Obviously. But your parents are like four states away."
"You're not some secret I have to keep, Chris. You're too…just, no."
"Oh." Chris smiled slowly, catching on. "Holy shit, Joey, chivalry isn't dead."
"Fuck you."
"No, no, I mean, that's really sweet of you, but um, unnecessary."
"I said no, Chris."
"We're in the middle of butt fuck Massachusetts, where else are you gonna get some?" Chris threw out his hands, exasperated.
"Why don't you let me worry about that?" Joey snapped.
Chris's eyes got a shade darker at the sharpness of Joey's voice. All he said though, was, "All right. Sure, Joey. You do that."

I can't believe how many good stories I missed, for my having been into popslash for well over a year! thanks again for all the great recs! (this in response to Textbook Case)

There are a ton of old fics that are worth reading, unfortunately, we lost a lot between the envy.nu big mass deletion, and the fanfic.net forbiding RPF. If you liked Textbook Case, don't forget to read the sequel, College Ethics. It's equally good (And has added Kevin ;) )

I'll keep posting recs in my own lj from time to time, if you want to check them out :) Those won't be pairing especific, although as you can imagie, I'm pretty much a choey gal :)
