Bauhaus ClassicsWhy this must be read: Alright, yes, it's genfic--but wait! Come back! I promise this is good. Jennifer is another of those authors who I would rec everything of theirs if I could. Her writing, to me, represents classic Backstreet Boys fanfiction. Firmly planted in reality, it depicts a day in the life of the Backstreet Boys as popstars: the overnight flights, the performances, the family dramas, the controlled chaos, all of it narrated in artful prose.
In the midst of internal strife, Howie and AJ decide to take a personal day and abandon their responsibilities in the machine that is the Backstreet Boys. And in doing so, they are all reminded of what is most important. Wonderful characterizations that make canon spring to life in clear, masterful narration. Simple, yet achingly beautiful. You will not be disappointed.
