‘Lucky Stars,’ by Without Me (R-ish)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Lance/Nick.

Author Website: kittenfic.
Why this must be read: As stated, I am finishing us out for the month with recs that have a common theme, harking back to something we discussed mid-month: that canon keeps changing on us as the corporations decide what we are told from time to time and The Lads’s images are reinvented. Again, the stories I will leave you with are full of all the usual merits, but are especially chosen as being snapshots of the canon-redacted-in-fanon at specific points in the evolution of the popstars we slash.
Without Me’s ‘Lucky Stars’ is a quiet classic of the hiatus period, especially as it relates to a grounded, No-Space-For-YOU Bass and a Carter who has learned something about Being Comfortable With Oneself Even If Overshadowed By Someone Else’s Solo Debut. It’s evocative, tactile, sexy, psychologically penetrating, and comprehends the dynamics of guys who are NOT Chicks-With-Dicks. And it has a wonderfully loopy JC-as-Cupid.
