Why this must be read: The Message is is an AU with JC and Justin as professional tennis players. What I love about it is all the parallels Bethann has drawn between their current and imaginary careers and relationships, and can only imagine how much thought has gone into planning it all. I always notice a couple of more with each reread! They're everywhere, from the details (Justin being the "Nike boy", JC having a pregame ritual) to the big picture (the live in the public eye and are set up as rivals, but have a personal history). I think this is one of the best crafted popslash AUs I've read.
