It's an AU fic, and it's tattoo-kink, kind of. Chris owns a tattoo parlor and JC is a starving artist who faints at the thought of needles. At one point in the fic, Chris paints a temporary tattoo on JC and it's one of the hottest things I've ever read. I want to see JC painted like this all the time.
( excerpt )When I first read this, I was a little uncomfortable with the characterization of JC. He's more than a little damaged in this. But as the real JC keeps coming up with reasons why we're not getting more music from him, I've been doing a lot of re-evaluating. The characterization really works for me now--and Zelda Zee is incredibly insightful.
