Fandom: Popslash.
Pairing: JC/Justin.
Author on LJ: ropeythesoap.
Author Website: N/A.
Why this must be read:

Rebirth is one of those "What If" sort of AUs that are so prevalent in fandom and in this case, the author asks the question of what if JC, jaded and bitter, shed his Popstar persona and fled South of the border to become an underground DJ? The answer is this lush and vivid piece, full of rhythm and beats:

He sits down to Chinese with the head of the label, a guy in a tracksuit who looks younger than him and talks in an annoying as hell accent, and cracks out not only a schedule, but a name too.

Rico Chase. Straight from Mexico. Makes your body move like you’re in the middle of fucking nowhere.

And watching a room full of people – beautiful people that make JC feel like he’s the ugliest thing in the room- move like they’re in the middle of nowhere…

Wow.

Rebirth: God is a DJ, Life is a Dance Floor: JC Chasez is Dead & New Horizon.
