why this must be read: Hmm. This is not a happy story. It's very powerful, though, and says a lot about fame and celebrity. They can't all be happy, right? This is a remix story, so probably not a lot of people have read it. Mary remixed stubbleglitter's Hold Your Banner High., which was written for northernveil  's We All Float Down Here Sick and Twisted Challenge, So that should be enough warning right there. But give it a try. It's not long, and it's so very good. Mary's writing never wastes a word, and that's certainly true of this story.  Actually, think of this as a double rec, because Maggie's original story should be read, also,

And suddenly Justin is there, and JC's right there, and it's wild and hot and wrong, and they dance, and they dance, and they dance.

"This is how it is," Justin hisses in his ear, and Chris bites his lip and comes. Behind him JC moans, a low, carrying note. On screen, mechanical bulls shoot red rays from their eyes, and girls in the audience tremble and pant and peer through their fingers, just like always.

He aches after that, every time he remembers.
