Why this must be read: This is a fascinating look at post-rehab AJ and post-Britney Justin, and the unlikely friendship that they develop. It's intense and insightful, but also witty and fun at times. The (sadly plausible) Nick subplot is excellently done, in its own right as well as giving AJ perspective on his own situation.

"There's nothing wrong with the car," Justin blurted out.
"Yeah," said AJ with a low chuckle. "I know."
"So you want hang out some time, have a drink?"
"No," said AJ easily, calmly, not even feeling the mild panic that offer once would've sent him into. "How about coffee?"
"Oh man," breathed Justin after an awkward pause. "I am such an asshole. Serve me right if you didn't want to get together at all."
"It's not about you, Justin," said AJ, still calmly, patting down his jacket for his cigarettes.

Sorry. That's the problem with posting while drunk, I forgot I hadn't decided on what rating it should have (author didn't give one).
