But in the Quiet by K (R)

Why this must be read:
There are 10 pairings in *Nslash and, like in any fandom, each pairing has certain traits. When I think of Trickyfish (Chris/Lance) I think of viciously snarky and hilarious dialogue, while Timbertone (Justin/Joey) makes me think of unexpectedly, bizarrely hot sex. When I think of Timbertrick, I think of over-excitability, friendship, andsmartlikejustin.
But in the Quiet is a perfect piece ofsmartlikejustin's Timbertrick. Here, Justin's trying desperately to rest his voice for an upcoming performance, in the face of relentless taunting and teasing from Chris. The fic stars a hyper, but understanding Chris and a Justin that I absolutely love. This Justin is self-assured and introspective and it's his air of, well, quietness and serenity that sets the tone for the story, despite the fact that it's full of funny asides and flashes of humor.
Great because the moment where Chris finally makes Justin speak always makes me catch my breath and great because it's such a good story for days like today where, if you're here at least, you're surrounded by fog and a palpable desperation at the lack of coffee in the immediate area.
Go!
Additional Information:
1. Trace is Justin Timberlake's best friend. He's the former boyfriend of actress Tara Reid who, incidentally, appeared in the music video for JC Chasez's first solo track (mentioned below). JC and Tara were also rumored to be dating, as were -- of course -- Trace and Justin. Only the lack of some kind of torrid sparkly crime involving Eminem kept the whole situation from sounding like an E! True Hollywood Story.
2. Dallas Austin produced both JC's first single "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" and the movie Drumline, which featured the song on it's soundtrack.
3. Timbertrick!
Wednesday on Popslash: "Janet Jackson called me this morning and said if Justin doesn't shut up already she's gonna tell the entire world that she dumped his ass because his overuse of the term 'babygirl' in bed freaked her the fuck out."
