this is the kind of thing I think about while riding the subway

[brandywine28]

Here's a fic I wish already existed, popslash-wise:

A long, fanciful, JC/anyone version of The Little Mermaid. (Yes, I have fallen down into an obsessive Disney spiral these last couple of weeks. It happens, from time to time, but the results are rarely ever so slashy.) I insist on it being a JC pairing b/c I have this image in my head of JC flouncing around on the beach, clumsily trying to charm the prince with his...charms.

It doesn't have to follow the Disney formula in order to please me. I don't require talking animals or calypso music. I can even handle a maudlin ending as long as there's plenty of sex and scenes of JC standing on the shore, staring wistfully out at the ocean as tears of despondency roll beautifully down his face. And shirtlessness. Lots of shirtlessness.

I should probably just shut up and write this myself. Except I'd like for it to, y'know, not suck.

It's not quite what you're after, but you might enjoy CJ's Where the Sea Meets the Moon.

Gah, how is it that I've never read that?

Thanks for the rec!

[eponymous.livejournal.com]

I should add: do feel free to write your version! Oh, the pining. And the shirtlessness. And the pining.

[brandywine28.livejournal.com]

Shirtless emotions are so much more elegant than non-shirtless ones. :)

And here I had no idea that emotions cared whether they were attired or not. Learn something new every day! ;)

[brandywine28.livejournal.com]

Hm, maybe it's only JC's emotions that care about such things, then?

(Best icon ever, btw!)

Well, as you and I discussed, I'd be interested in writing this, if you're still interested in reading it. I'll try my best to fit in "plenty of sex," and I'm fairly certain there will be shirtlessness, or at least gauzy shirts that are open and flapping in the wind...that's sexy too. Also, I'm not sure how much JC will flounce, but he will be kinda hopeless for a while.

[brandywine28.livejournal.com]

Wow, I didn't know I could make a noise that high-pitched. :)

By all means, if you think you can turn my mad ramblings into something coherent, take them! Take all of them!

I'm excited! Sex and gauzy fabric and hopelessness: yay!

I- I can actually picture JC as Ariel. That totally works. Holy god.

(Also it totally wouldn't suck if you wrote it! It would be AWESOME.)

Aw, you're sweet! I think zebraljb is going to take a stab at it, actually, but that doesn't mean I can't make my own misguided attempt somewhere down the line...

[zebraljb.livejournal.com]

Great! I've been waiting to hear from you...I ordered JC, Chris and Lance to STOP writing the story in my brain, because they have been. Lance has been organizing things, JC's been coming up with ideas, and Chris keeps throwing out random bits of comedy that are appealing, but not appropriate.

In answer to your other question, no, JC will not be wearing a shell-bra. While that is appealing *snort*, I believe this will not be a crack!fic, but something more...normal. Hope that is okay.

Don't worry, I trust you completely! Just don't hurt yourself, OK?

The inside of your head sounds like such a happenin' place! I'm jealous. :)

They are! JC should always have shirtless emotions. As should Nick.

Perhaps they should have them together.

[zebraljb.livejournal.com]

Nick's emotions always seem rather powerful and possibly painful...

[zebraljb.livejournal.com]

Oh, these boys. *smiles at them fondly* They tend to take over and then I need to punish them...it's SUCH a hardship. ;)

[brandywine28.livejournal.com]

Punishment, eh? Well, not to nitpick or anything, but a seashell bra could serve as a pretty good punishment. Provided whichever guy you put it on doesn't have a humiliation kink. :)

[zebraljb.livejournal.com]

Well, there ended up being shirtlessness, crying, hot sex, and JC doing his best to ensnare Lance. All good things. ;)
