Length: long
Brief summary: This is a story about a future Nsync reunion. The framework of the story is a Larry King interview, just before the release of the new CD, with interspersed scenes of the reunion itself - from the moment Justin concieved of the idea until the morning after the opening show of the tour. Pen gives us an unvarnished picture of the hard work a reunion will require, of the problems and conflicts that are sure to occur, but there is sweetness here too, fun and camaraderie, friendships being regrown, and long-held secret passions being revealed.
Next day was easier. Marginally. They picked another three songs from the pile on the table, then JC got all buzzed and played them a track from an old Police album, and none of them could think of a reason why it wouldn't actually work rather well as an 'NSync number, so that went on the list too, along with covers of 'Dancing in the Street' ("Hey, if Jagger and Bowie can do it, so can we") and 'What are you doing the rest of your life' (Joey's lead, which put a huge smile onto his face).
But they stalled, badly, on one of the songs JC and Justin had written together (mostly JC, Chris reckoned, shying away in mock terror from the lyric sheet). It was a good song, everyone agreed on that, even Lance, but the diva twins had wildly different opinions on how it should be produced, and Chris's own suggestion of sharp, hard, spare guitar and drums just made things worse.
Even a pizza break didn't help. JC and Justin squabbled all through lunch, and had made no progress by the time the boxes had gone back to the kitchen and the stray pepperoni had been wiped from the table.
"So why don't we try it a cappella?" Joey suggested wearily.
Four pairs of eyes turned to him.
"If there's a style of instrumentation left in the world that we haven't considered and rejected, I can't think of it," he went on. "So why not forget them all and do it with just our voices?"
"It's a bit..." Chris began dubiously, but Justin looked warily interested and JC's eyes were starting to shine. By the end of the afternoon, they had 'All Night Shimmy' worked into a rough but sublimely dirty arrangement, the lead skittering from voice to voice and the harmonies going in all sorts of unexpected directions. Even Lance looked pleased. Joey swiped affectionately at his skull and told him to smile, fucker, because an a cappella dance number was definitely something new. Though it would be a hell of a challenge to do it in concert.

Characters: Chris, Lance, Joey
Prompt: 31 Discovery

Length: medium
Brief summary: Chris and Lance discover that the feelings they have for each other aren't perhaps as one-sided as they have previously believed. A very sweet and funny story.
Chris had kept on flirting because that was just his nature and Lance could admit in more honest moments that he'd been glad. Constant exposure had dulled the shock. Plus, he just liked it. Chris was fun like that - for fighting, for flirting, whatever. And there was always... an edge to it, an element of risk because once in a while Chris seriously went hunting for guys. Not often, but his unique seduction style, which mostly went along the lines of craziness and mid game molestation and staring with dark eyes, was blatantly effective when he used it.
Better than just effective, it was... oddly charming. Even Lance, through very deeply banked jealousy, could find it entertaining. Watching Chris chase men was like watching a nature program all about some cheerful predator. A toothy creature that made his quarry laugh until it cried, and touched it deliberately until it shivered a little. Watched it with dark, gleaming eyes until eventually it laid down in his bed to wait with bemused enthusiasm for the ravishment to come.
So, a bit frightening and amusing and appealing -
But resistable.
Yes. Lance had it all under control.
