Why this must be read:
You'll half believe he is a ghost or a dream or something else that can't exist, especially since you won't be brave enough to ask his name for six hours. He will tell you that it is Sea, and then you will think he's the spirit of the ocean, and your heart will ache with how right that feels. You will say, "Like the ocean?" but you will mean *You are just like the ocean.*
He will give you a smile that will change your life and say, "No, like 'Sesame Street is brought to you by the letter C.' It's my initial." You will ask him what his name is really, and he'll smile even wider and shake his head. "It's barney," he will say.
"That doesn't start with C," you will say, and then you will catch on and you will feel like the dumbest human being ever to live. He will laugh, but nicely. It won't be your fault. You will be struck stupid by this man.
An AU and a crossover, sort of. Once upon a time there was a television show called MMC, and it spawned all sorts of famous people, like your Britney Spears and your Justin Timberlake. And your JC Chasez. On MMC, there was a mini-soap opera called "Emerald Cove", in which JC played a character called Clarence "Wipeout" Adams. Wipeout was a surfer, in language and in action.
Add in an AU Nick Carter who ran away from home at the age of thirteen and has had a hard go of it since, and you've got Narrative.
Visual Aids:
Wipeout
Nick Carter
The story itself is told beautifully in second-person POV, and it all has a bit of a dreamlike quality to it. The characters are wonderful - Nick still shows some of his superstar qualities, and Wipeout has a lot of JC in him. Angsty and joyful and wonderful all around.
