An Adult or Something, by Sandy (Slash, R)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Joey/JC
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Suitable for Framing
Why this must be read:
In "Real" Popslash (rather, as "real" as popslash can be) stories that slash Joey just confuse me. Sure, he was a big ol' Theatre Geek, but that doesn't necessarily translate into queerdom. And he's such an unrepentant horndog, gleefully chasing anything in skirts that I can't really grok him with any of the other boys. Now, in AU's, that's a different matter.
Here, in An Adult or Something, Sandy draws on Joey's other obvious trait - his love for children. As a school teacher, Joey is clearly in his element. But he's still having some trouble making his own transition into adulthood. When he meets the artistic furniture maker JC, sparks fly.
This is a wonderful character study, very believably redirecting Joey and JC's talents into other areas, and creating lives for them that are perfectly normal.
