Why this must be read:
In a nameless desert town, high schooler Justin finds his way into Chris' life and bed. The style is achingly understated, with a truely desert feel - dry and dusty and a little sweaty. This is a Lolita!Justin story, in that Justin is indeed underaged, but the depth and truth of his emotional discord transends that description. The Lance/JC storyline is secondary, but no less desperate, no less complex.
The Bubble Gum of the title isn't the soft kind, like Bubblicious, it's the kind you get in trading cards - brittle and dusty, but ultimately sweet if you have the strength to get through to it.

This is technically a High School AU, since 3 of the 5 are written as students, but I think it makes an excellent bridge to my next genre - the Hometown AU - stories where the cities in which they are set shape the narratives.
