Claim: Nsync: general
Prompt: 20 Fight
Title: A Space Odyssey
Author: Hammerhead, at FuBitch Academy and hammerhead22
Rating: sex
Length: long
Brief summary: I'm a complete sucker for space AUs. In this one Chris has just thrown Jason out of his fighting team and they're now in desperate need of a new coordinator. Is Lance the one who can fill the position? Great group interactions and lowkey suspense.
Excerpt: "Chris, I heard what happened. You're sure it was the right decision?"
"Johnny, you know how many times that fuckhead messed us up! He was gonna get one or all of us killed someday and you know it." Chris bristled. He hated having his command decisions questioned. Instead of yelling more at Johnny, he settled for viciously chewing on a hangnail on his right thumb.
Johnny raised his hands in a placating gesture. "Whoa, Chris. I just wanted to make sure. You've probably heard by now that we've got intel on the squids gathering near one of the moons of Saturn. We're pretty sure they are planning a big push."
Chris interrupted, "And thanks for letting me know, by the way." Not. How was he supposed to make major command decisions without information?
"Chris! Just shut the fuck up and listen to me. Okay?" Johnny waited.
Chris held his hands up in surrender and shut his mouth. All of his nervous energy found release through his jittering leg.
"Okay, we've got intel on a big squid offensive and it's coming soon. I need every Flight up and flying in the next two weeks. I need you. I have a lot of faith in you, Chris, and so does Mr. Perlman. We both think that the team you put together could be the best, even better than Kevin's boys." That made Chris quirk a grin. "Do you guys have any plan for a replacement? I wish I could help but I just don't have anyone to even loan you right now."

Brief summary: A lovely glimpse of JC's thoughts during a photoshoot. Written in Genee's wonderfully sensual prose.
Excerpt: He could already see the would-be prints, black and white, he thought, and smoothed over in sepia, and he swallowed hard, eyes closed against the images. They weren't usually like this, especially not Lance, not for the public anyway, but sometimes... Well, sometimes, they were so damn hot and, like, in the moment or whatever, burning through the flash and the lights and before they knew it, the cameras had captured something none of you meant for them to see, and there it was, baby, laid out for all the world. Mostly they were all just over-grown boys, romping for the cameras, goofy and bouncing and all dressed up in someone else's dreams, but, sometimes, rarely, they were simply who they were, not-quite men, not-quite real, and their handlers liked to release those photographs every once in a while, too.
JC wondered if they would release these. Lance and Joey weren't touching or anything, so maybe they would.
