So Long (Pg-13) by Cecilia
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: gen, Nick's POV
Length: short
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: Archived at Backstreet Bauhaus
Why this must be read: Sort of continuing with the Brian/Nick theme here, this one is actually gen but it's a really great read. It's also rather unusual because it's told in first person with Nick as narrator, and we get to hear all of the ramblings that go through his head. It's not very often that I really enjoy first person narration in popslash, but Cecilia really does an excellent job of blending Nick's voice with skillful storytelling.
The story begins way back when marriage was an imminent revolution in the world of Backstreet, and Nick is having a hard time dealing with all of the changes. Nick and Kevin go out for some male bonding, which doesn't go exactly as planned, and the sentiment seems to follow them through to Brian's wedding day. It's a humorous yet touching look at group dynamics from a really great author.
