February Festival - Day One

[brandywine28]

It isn't midnight yet! I'm not too late!

pensnest has proposed a rec challenge for the month of February (at popsoundboard) and I've decided to take a stab at it - despite my fear of commitment, my seeming inability to finish anything I start, and my general lousiness at this sort of thing. Will I remember to post every day? Unlikely, but I intend to make a valiant effort!

So behold: recs!

Day 1 - Great opening

A Person Of Simple Tastes by stubbleglitter

JC decides to find himself a boyfriend. Hilarity ensues.

This is some great JC characterization right here; he's a silly, scattered sexual dynamo. And it just gets better from there. He manages to work his way through his bandmates one by one - fickle Joey, sadistic Lance and clingy Justin - before the right man finds him instead. (As always, a TrickC ending is the surest way to my heart.)

There's something very wrong with the URL for the story :( I get a 404 error.

Yay, you're doing recs!

I don't think I've ever read this story -- or if I have, I've forgotten, which is almost the same thing -- so I'm looking forward to getting into it later tonight. I have a weakness for this kind of GSF, where one person blazes a trail through the rest of the band.

Excellent rec! I'd forgotten I'd read that story.

You have killed me dead, if only because of the section with Lance. Excuse my language, but HOLY FUCK.
