Fragile by julad (PG 13)

Previously on Popslash: Justin turned 21. And then became a homicidal cult-figure -- with minions and everything -- and ran from the law. Chris didn't want to pay for his food and felt JC up in a car instead. Lance and Justin tangled with the criminal element and ran to the law. Joey's sanity crumbled in the face of the Lancebot's straightness, while Chris responded to Justin's siren call in the desert. And then they solved crime for a while. JC drank copious quantities of Jagermeister and tried valiently to fight off those lustful urges. Finally, he just gave in -- as did everyone else, hence the group orgy. Chris appreciated the finely honed bitchiness of his bandmates. Britney appreciated her power over the men in her life. Justin spoke, against doctor's orders. And Wade? Well, Wade ruined everything, like usual...but at least Chris got a date with Eminem out of it.

Why this must be read:

I started out the month by recc'ing a hilarious story of revelational birthday love. It seemed fitting, therefore, to end the month the same way -- by recc'ing a hilarious story of revelational birthday love. Fragile tells the tale of Chris's disasterous 30th birthday, in which he awakens to find out that not only has Lance decided to refuse his offer of love, flowers, candy, and boyfriend-ship...but that Lance is doing so because he's pretty damn sure that Chris? Is bad in bed. Not, you know, horrible. Better than Fred Durst, at least. But still pretty pathetic.

julad writes in fic in a number of fandoms and we're lucky that popslash is one of them. This story is full of great lines, excellent cameo appearances, and just unbelievably wry, funny appearances by all of the guys. It even manages to pack in a little sweetness towards the end, too!


Additional Information:

1. Fred Durst is a professional tool. In his spare time, he also fronts rap metal group Limp Bizkit.

2. Busta and Korea are/were Chris's very adorable pet dogs and confidantes.

3. Pictures! Group and Trickyfish:





Next Month on Popslash: I think we get to find out who the real Slim Shady is.

**Guys, I've had an incredibly fun time recc'ing here -- much more than I had expected. Thanks so much to all the authors, to everyone who left comments or sent emails, to anyone who was reading along, and to everyone else for just putting up with my long-ass recs showing up three times a week on their friendslist! Oh, and Happy Halloween!**

You know, I saw those pictures on my friendslist this morning and went "Lance and who? Oh, Jesse. *pause* Oooooh, Jesse". And the lightbulb over my head my went. It's a pretty dim lightbulb, too, since you're totally right -- I know I've seen the images of them galivanting about at every recent press event in recent history together.

Man. I'm at a loss for words regarding the Lance pictures of late. First John Bobbit Halloween costume and now leather and a kilt? With makeup and a GnR tshirt, too! Wooo.

Thanks for the confirmation!

This costume is by far my favorite. I have a little tiny punk thing. And a very large kilt thing. And a somewhat obsessive Lance thing. I'm still recovering from that wibble.
