Nobody's Birthday by Merry (NC-17)
Fandom: Popslash

Why this must be read: The world this story builds is utterly delicious: warm and rich and comforting. There's love and caring and belonging, long before the first kiss is exchanged, and I'm a total sucker for that.
New Year's Eve is bright and clear and JC is by himself at the lake when Joey arrives. He's thinking of all the parties they should've gone to, except this is time they need. They need to be together more now, because they weren't for so long, and there are empty places in their heads where four other voices should be. JC feels codependent as hell and thinks he should see somebody, but he's afraid he might get better. He sits on his dock Indian-style with his gloved hands fisted in his jacket pockets for warmth, and looks up at the low, grey sky. The cold has made things still, and he can see his breath, hear his own heartbeat. From the house he can hear occasional laughter ringing out but that's just another part of the quiet.
JC and Joey aren't one of the more popular common pairings in popslash--but that just makes this story all the more special. Really, don't miss this one.
