Hep Cats by Arsenic (PG)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: JC Chasez/Nick Carter

Why this must be read:
I know nothing about swing dancing, but this story makes me want to learn. It is sexy and breathless and rhythmic, and I never thought I would be describing a PG story that way, but this story has innuendo in spades.
JC is sweet and kind, but it is Nick that I love. Confident in his dancing but uncertain otherwise, he is delightfully young and heartbreakingly adorable.
They moved into smooth-style Lindy at JC's gentle insistence. Nick took two steps forward, leaning back to create a counterbalance against JC. On the third step he turned just as JC did. When they were each standing where the other had been to begin with they came smoothly back into closed position, just for JC to whip Nick back out to open. At the end of the step they were both exactly where they had begun.
JC took a few minutes to assess how good Nick's basic step was and how easily he allowed himself to be lead. Nick was good, better than a majority of the people JC danced with on a regular basis when he came around the circuit. JC halted on the eighth count for a break in the music and undulated slightly. He watched in appreciation as Nick free-styled.
The beat began again and JC turned the heat up a bit, releasing Nick into a series of free spins. Nick responded with a grin, doubling up on a few of the spins, lifting one foot on a some to transform them into honest-to-G-d twirls. JC brought Nick back under his control, changing up the basic a bit with an eight-count in-out action that allowed him to pull Nick in and push him back out without either of them moving much from their positions in space. Just lead's weight against follow's, hands pressing up against each other for a centered balance.

And I thought I was out of popslash too, but I seem to have slid into bandslash, and so I am not as sure as I thought I was.
*blinks at life*
Seriously, so much thanks, this made my weekend!

Bandslash! It seems to be sucking in a lot of people! I have so far resisted the urge, but there are a lot of attractive things about it. I've even found myself liking the music (or at least some of it), which you know is the first step of doom.
