Brief summary: Chris is being so very Chris in this story, fun and impossible and complicated, and crushing on Lance. It's a kind of reunion story and it has puppy piles and drunken orgies (well, not really, but there is sex and it's lovely :-) and lots of group-togetherness. And some seriousness too amid all the love and fun.
Excerpt: "Are Lance and his stud staying with you?" Foot braced against the floor, Chris twists the stool, quarter turns left and right as Joey sighs.
"Lance is. Reichen's not. I think..." Joey hesitates and looks at Chris. "I know you've got this thing about Lance and his boyfriends, and usually your jealous streak is kind of funny, but they're having problems, so lay off a bit."
Indignant, Chris turns so he's looking right at Joey. "I've never been jealous, and I am the epitome of sensitivity."
Joey's snort of laughter should be insulting, but Chris shrugs it off, because he knows he's right. He can be sensitive if needed, just; most times he doesn't want to. As for being jealous, maybe he thinks Lance is hot, and maybe there were a few kisses back in the day, but jealousy? Joey's obviously insane.

Brief summary: Chris finds out Lance is gay. It's sweet and awkward and very lovely and I just want to hug and squish this Chris and Lance and tell them that everything really is going to be alright. This story explores the ramifications of Lance's coming out and the history of Nsync and uses canon in a wonderfully deft way that grounds the story without bogging it down.
Excerpt: Three days later, the new issue of People magazine hits the Internet, and Chris wakes up to reporters on his lawn, just like old times.
When he calls Lance, he's not surprised the phone clicks directly over to voicemail - becoming the gay coverboy of People magazine will make you understandably busy and in-demand - he's only surprised there's room left to leave a message at all, so he fumbles around and finally says congratulations and I'll talk you, sometime. He calls back two minutes later and says, quickly, "I knew you could do it, baby. I knew you'd be all right," before hanging up again.
Lance calls back the next day while Chris is at the doctor's office, pantsless, with his phone on manner mode in the pocket of his cargos, which are folded in a chair on the other side of the examination room. The message is short and gruff in that way Chris has learned means Lance is biting back tears: "Thank you." There's another message, just as short, two minutes later: "For everything." Chris restrains himself from calling and demanding to know who made Lance cry so that he can beat them up. Unfortunately, it's not his place to beat up people for Lance anymore. Also, he's afraid it might have been him.
