The Way You Do It by Helen (R)
Right, so. I'm Halo, and I'll be doing my best to tempt you into the glorious world of popslash (if you're not already here). In the interest of full disclosure, I'm a big fan of the JC pairings, and particularly of Chris/JC, but I will try my best to be well-rounded and suchlike. But I'm starting with Chris/JC, and what is possibly my very favourite popslash story of all.
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Chris/JC

Why this must be read: Because in a fandom where one or both of the (male) characters in any given story is frequently written as "the girl", this is a story about two guys, and all the quirks and neuroses that go along with them. There's a lot of anger and frustration in this story, but there's also wit, and love, and a healthy amount of lust. In addition to that, the Chris/JC dynamic is one that is many-faceted and a lot of fun to explore, and Helen's story is a great example of one of the ways it can go.
When Chris found the cardboard box full of samples of Nacho-flavored Wheat Thins that were 12 for a dollar, and scooped half the box into their cart, JC said, "I'm kind of turned on right now," and when they got back, they put the milk in the refrigerator and the ice cream in the freezer and then went to JC's room to screw, JC laughing as they kissed at first, and later digging his fingernails into Chris' shoulder and saying "Harder, harder. hard—" After that they lay in bed and ate nacho flavored Wheat Thins.
"These are kind of gross," JC said, opening a new packet.
"Well, they decided to discontinue them," Chris said, picking at the orange gunk in his teeth.
Four days later, Justin said "These are fucking disgusting, what are these?"
"They were 12 for a dollar," JC said.
"You're fucking insane," Justin said. "Do you want me to buy you a box of crackers?"
"These are crackers," Chris said, keeping himself from saying 'we have crackers' just in time, because the others didn't know, still didn't know.
