Germany in November (PG) by J. Rebel
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Brian/Nick
Length: short story
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: J. Rebels Against BigNames
Why this must be read: I am eternally fascinated by stories that depict the Boys’ early days of touring Europe; I just love the whole atmosphere of being in a strange place, on the cusp of fame, and the friction of a bunch of young boys thrown together trying to navigate adulthood. And this story captures these feelings perfectly.
I also particularly like second person narration employed here. Told from Brian's point of view, we see the beginning of his relationship as Nick's "older brother," rather than the Frick and Frack that we're more familiar with. Combining gorgeous prose with astute characterizations, this is a fic not to be missed.
…It is warm here, so warm that you have to strip down to a wife beater and boxers and the sweat is pouring down your flesh like rain. But the kid is loving it. With toothpaste in his mouth he tells you of how this reminds him of home, of hot days in Ruskin when the sun pours off your skin just like this. You decide then - hearing him rave about humidity for at least seven minutes - that you will never move to Florida….
