Author Website: Mainly In the Plain
Why this must be read: I have a bizarre fondness for AUs. Pop is bursting with them. In a lot of ways, most of the stories really are original fiction, but they're also literary crack (those two thoughts seem discordant, but they aren't). This is one of my favorite popfic AUs (and if I can find the zombie fic I want, I'll recc that one, too. Who would have thought there were so many zombiefics?) Anyway, back to *this* story. This is set in Boston, and, well, it's a damned soap opera! Tres tres entertaining with high melodrama, some tight writing, and lots of attention to detail. If you're looking for different, this's it. JC is just so wonderful and human here. It says that it's a WIP, but I think the last part stands as a decent ending for the whole shebang, not that I didn't want it to go on forever, mind.
