Why this must be read:
The Remix Challenge is somewhat notorious for producing interesting, thinky, or complex stories ... that nobody outside of the challenge reads. Well, you'd be doing yourself a disservice to pass up this fic.
Donna writes it in such a way that you're left dizzy from the emotional paso doble and get muddled as to just who your sympathies lie with. She does this without ever losing the strong central theme of the story: Lance in two flavours, getting what he needs from Nick and giving what he needs to Justin. For all Nick's expansive, lazy ease and Justin's devouring, cavernous moods, it's Lance's stake in all this that has me fascinated. Every time I read the story I wonder a little more about how he frames himself in this scenario, tease out some new element that makes me go, "ah-HAH! no, wait ...."
It's not light reading. But if human interaction sans plodding explanatory narrative is what intrigues you, this story will bring out your inner psychoanalyst.
