My prompt table/list.

Claim: Backstreet Boys: general
Title: No Gravity To Fall
Author: Patchwork Dragon, at Patchwork Dragon and patchworkdragon
Characters: Howie, Nick, AJ, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass
Prompt: 24 Future Fic
Rating: explicit sex
Length: long
Brief summary: A future fic in another sense than usually meant, this is science fiction with Howie as the spaceship captain looking forward to retiring and Nick as the ship's AI computer soon to be downloaded into his own human body. It starts off as an adventure story with the ship picking up two fugitives from Transcon, but the real center of the story is the relationship between Howie and Nick and the question of what it really means to be human.

Nick was starting to sound whiny, and Howie wondered for the ten thousandth time why anyone would equip a computer with quite that much range of vocal expression.

"Nick, I am never too busy to be informed when the number of persons on board does not coincide with the plan."

"There's plenty of room, you know I can sleep ten or more if they're friendly. And judging by the clinging going on, these two are more than friendly."

Howie groaned. If Nick though the passengers were romantic that was it. "Sometimes I wonder why you even let me think I'm in charge here."

Nick sniffed, obviously hurt, and Howie winced. It was going to be one of those trips. "Nick, it's not about whether we have the resources for two passengers. There are a lot of reasons this makes me nervous. You know I prefer the number of crew to outnumber the passengers."

"Right. Me, you, and AJ outnumber the two of them."

Howie bit his tongue on the obvious answer. Nick was already whiny and sniffling, but telling the computer he didn't count as a crew member would make him cry. And Howie tried to never make anyone he cared about cry.

Title: My In-Laws Have Cooties
Author: Lennie, at Entendre Intended and thebitchtrolls
Characters: Brian, AJ, Chris Kirkpatrick, Justin Timberlake
Prompt: 49 Reccer's Choice
Rating: -
Length: short
Brief summary: This is one of my absolute favourite cheer-me-up stories. It's short, well-written, and hilariously funny. To quote the writer's own summary: Since they're practically in-laws, AJ, Brian, Chris and Justin bond over golf. Well, they call it golf. Millions wouldn't. This is definitely a must-read story, for both Nsync and Backstreet Boys fans.

"Morning, Chris. Justin." Brian smiled at them over the roof of the car, looking both bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Well, if he had a tail. But he was a Backstreet Boy, so Chris wasn't going to commit himself on that point. He knew they were normal people, but he didn't have to admit it.

"Hey Brian." Chris looked into the car. "I think AJ went back to sleep."

"Yeah, he does that. Years on a bus at an impressionable age, he drops right off." Brian leaned into the car again to shake AJ awake.

"AJ's smart." Justin rested his face on the car roof and closed his eyes. "Sleep is nice."

Chris hit him. In the interests of wakefulness, of course. Chasing Chris all over the parking lot was bound to wake a person up.
