Why this must be read:

Because I laughed my ass off, and you will too. Seriously, the match-up of pop stereotypes, pop canon, and pop in-jokes to The Princess Bride canon is hysterically funny. It's a break from The Backstreet Boys recs because this is too much fun to skip and rules are made to be broken, yo (and there is a little BSB cameo at the end, anyway). So make Guilder and Florin modern record companies and let the fun begin. Justin Timberlake is Buttercup.( No, really, Justin Timberlake is Buttercup.), Lance Bass is Westley, Joey is Miracle Max, Chris Kirkpatrick is Inigo Montoya, and JC Chasez is Fezzik (he has a gift for rhyme. Sometimes.).


And so it came to pass, Gentle Reader, that Justin and his mother happened to move to Orlando to pursue stardom. There it was that Justin came to be signed by a record label of no great consequence. His favorite pastimes were playing basketball and tormenting the other boy who worked there. His name was Lance, but Justin never called him that. He was always Dance Boy, the silent, blushing shadow to Justin’s every move.

Nothing gave Justin as much pleasure as ordering Lance around. After rehearsal, when it was just the two of them left alone in the big mirrored room, Justin would blatantly ignore Lance stretching in the corner until he was ready to leave. “Dance Boy,” he’d toss over his shoulder as he was walking out the door, “you’d better make sure the mirrors are cleaned tonight. Darren’ll want to see his face shining in them tomorrow morning.”

He’d pause, one hand on the door, until he heard Lance’s soft, low, “As you wish.” It was all Lance ever said to him. They sang together; they danced together; they had class together, but all Lance would say to him directly was “As you wish.”

But, Justin Timberlake was _BORN_ to be Buttercup.

It's the only explination for him at all!

Best story ever. So funny. When I was assigned Vix in the Remix challenge, my first thought was, this story is so off-limits. It's so perfectly done.
