Why you MUST read this story: This story contains a lot of my favorite things about popslash. The pairing itself is well-drawn and there's just enough anticipation to keep you going, but more than anything it's about the dynamic between these people. The friendships, whether the kind that are turning into something more or just the kind that are all about comfort and humor, are rich and realistic. She captures what I see (or think I see anyway) when I watch JC, Chris and Justin interact on film and stage and creates a world and a story around that. Plus, she manages to subtly work in some of the more interesting aspects of BEING FAMOUS and being a working international pop sensation and all that. Most importantly, very funny. Love that.
