Why this must be read: Okay, okay, I know I said I wouldn't rec any *NSYNC stories this month, but it's crossover day, and this is one of the cutest crossovers I've ever read. And I'm amazed this hasn't been recced yet. Anyway, this story is for anyone who was a fan of Today's Special, Toy Story, or The Brave Little Toaster growing up and because of it truly believed inanimate objects came to life when you weren't looking. This story (or rather, a set of stories.. each can be read standalone but are best read together) stars JC as a mannequin in a Banana Republic and Jared as one in an Abercrombie and Fitch, in Typical Mall, Anywhere, U.S.A. XD It alternates between mall hours, where you get into the heads of the mannequins, who each have equally obsessive crushes on the managers of the stores they live in (Lance and Jensen, respectively) and after hours, where they come to life and hang out int he food court. The stories are super cute (and even a tad bit dirty), and leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling in the pit of your stomach when you're done. :)
And then Lance is there, all touching JC and gently removing his current outfit—a really boring sweater vest and light grey slacks ensemble—holding up various options to JC's body and clucking his tongue, saying things like, "Hmm, I'm not sure that really suits you, maybe with the studded belt, though." Lance always talks to JC like he's a real person, which is totally sweet. Lance is a good guy. And hot. JC maybe has a tiny crush on Lance.
Lance holds up a light pink button-down and presses it flat against JC's chest, tilts his head one way and then the other, making the hmming noise that JC knows means he's trying to decide. JC thinks, "Yes! Yes! PINK!" at Lance as hard as he can and accidentally twitches, which makes him bobble a little in his stand. Lance steadies him carefully and the mannequin next to JC—Snotty McBitch, JC likes to think of her as—rolls her eyes discreetly. Whatever, JC thinks. If Snotty McBitch can't appreciate the fabulousness of Lance-fondling, she's never going to get the pink thing. Just because she mannequined at Bloomies, she thinks she's so great. JC bets she lies about that anyway. She probably worked at Marshall Fields, and not even the good one in Chicago. Department store mannequins always think they're so special. As if.

I totally forgot about this fic! I was thinking of trying to write another one for Bassez Day last month and then I got all distracted.

Distraction is never good.
