Spot by Terri (PG)
Hi, I'm your friendly popslash driver this month. Looking through the popslash memories here is like looking at a fandom anthology, and almost all of the classics are there. But there are recent stories that are just as fabulous, and I'm excited about reccing them. I work more on the NSYNC side of the popslash street, but I know there's more to it than that, and I promise not to neglect Backstreet entirely.
I'm also crap with ratings and warnings, because they're not my thing, but I'll do my best.
To start with, one of my very favorite stories by one of my very favorite writers.
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Lance/Justin

Why this must be read: This story is just gorgeous. Terri's prose is so descriptive, in a beautifully understated way. Spot was written for last year's Dragon Challenge, and here Lance has a guardian dragon, all changing colors and smoky protection. This is the story of NSYNC's beginning, and their success, and how Lance fits into that. I could go on and on, but just go read the story instead.

The dragon—Spot—stuck around.
He liked to sleep in Lance´s room, sprawled on the floor, claws twitching in the air. He was red, or yellow sometimes, and once he was pink with purple spots. Lance loved him and would lie against his side, running his fingers over the words in his story book, painstakingly sounding them out as Spot nodded his great head. He never said anything in return, but fire would dance across his teeth, and smoke would puff from his nose as Lance described far off lands.

Dear god, your icon. Now that boy *needs* a dragon to protect him.
