why this must be read: Like a lot of people I know, synchronik's stories were my gateway to popslash. I started thinking about the ones that mean the most to me, and while that's pretty much all of them, This Side of the Pecos is at the top of the list. It's one of those stories that I could never read enough times back in the day, and rereading it now is a true joy. It's funny and hot and perfect. Everyone is in love with JC.

Excerpt:
JC showed up the next morning in jeans and an old blue t-shirt so tight you could almost see through it.

"I'm tellin' ya, he does this just to fuck with me," Lance muttered, gazing at JC through the gap in his fingers.
 
"Us, to fuck with us," Justin said. Lance grinned at him.

"Look who's talking," Chris said. "Have you seen some of the shit you wear, man?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means you dress like a hooker," Joey said, sitting down with his cup of coffee.

"Does that make you his pimp?" Lance asked.

"Fuck off," Joey said, shoving at Chris' laughing face.
