Title: Dry-Cleaning by Wax Jism
Pairing: Chris/Justin, Justin/Billy, Billy/Joe (implied)

Why this must be read:

There's a noise from somewhere up above their heads, and they both look up, Billy angrily, the kid guiltily. There's a man standing in the door, a shortish, compact guy with a pointy, goateed face like a pissed-off elf, spiky black hair and angry-sad black eyes. He's staring at them with barely checked hostility, and Billy thinks, uh-oh, boyfriend, but he's too orgasm-languid to give a fuck, and the guy isn't doing anything, just staring like he's never seen anything like this before. The fuck-you imp in Billy comes out to play, and he reaches out and grabs a handful of the kid's wayward curls and pulls him closer, pulls his blushing, sex-slack face to his and kisses him, open-mouthed and wet-warm, a show for the pissed-off boyfriend.

First, I have to admit that I don't know the first thing about Hard Core Logo. But then, I don't have to, because Wax has nicely summed up everything you need to know about HCL here. Once you've got that, all you really need to know is that this is a four-part story about sex, violence, and guilt, among other things. It is primarily a Chris/Justin story, but the Billy Tallent sub-plot brings that extra something to the table.

Cool story, and one I hadn't read before. If folks want to read more about Hard Core Logo, it was the Small Fandom of the Month for February--you can read the overview here (http://www.livejournal.com/community/crack_van/253199.html), and the recs are in the memories.
