Tropics by Calico (NC-17)

Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Justin/JC/Lance and a smattering of Joey/Chris. Joey's kitchen Sink has a lot to do with it, too.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ukcalico
Author Website: Temporary Insanity, along with Juliad and Nemoinis
Why this must be read:

The Author herself says it best:

Warning: excessive boy-on-boy (repeat to the power of five) action herein.

There's a lot of good things about this fic. Nsync gets drunk together, and then decides that obviously that's not enough. There are hot visuals in every inch of this piece, and it goes out of its way to prove that Calico is a master of the group slut fic, a rare and dying (if it ever truly lived) form. There's a beautifully slow buildup, great use of double entendre, amazing metaphores (Justin as an angel fallen to earth and forced to take up as a rent boy? Sign. Me. Up!), A little bit of force that toes the line a few times, but after it's there, you get an amazing toe curling delivery of what a popslash threesome is truly meant to be. Calico gets the voices right. She gets the logical-yet-illogical path of logic that JC often exibits. She gets the strangely young yet appropriate banter of Justin. She gets the deep, sex-toned drawl of Lance, and manages to do all of it in the same paragraph, in the same page, which is admittedly hard to do.

Aw crap, Just read it.
