Lance Month part deux

[aruan]

From when Lance went to see Joey in RENT. The only thing I love more than Lance is Lance with Joey. I hear JoLa is the pairing most start out in - it's been nine months for me, and it's never come even close to being deposed from number one status. That my pairing has more "canon" than possibly any other makes me joyous like Christmas, it really does. On the surface, he and Lance seem to have virtually nothing in common in many ways, yet all evidence points to their being possibly the closest in the entire group. Lance seems to become more relaxed around Joey, at ease with being himself (perhaps as part of a united front) as opposed to feeling like he has to put on a persona. He sure smiles a whole heck of a lot more, like here, which I'd declare the first real smile we got photographic evidence of since he got back from Russia. I'm currently writing overly schmoopy fic about the night because just look at the boy! Glowy and happy and Joey's 'Bros Before Hos' shirt and the way he seems to do that to Lance by simply existing warms my little heart. Love. Yes.

I hope I never promised coherence with these recs. It's mostly me grunting and urging you to go read because wow.

Mexican Moon by Betty Plotnick

(Joey) "It's hot. You're hot. How are you not getting how hot this is? You and me, trashy Mexican brothel-looking hotel, you taste like tequila and your whole body has to hurt, but you're still starting to get hard thinking about us. I want to fuck you unconscious and maybe leave cash on the dresser, but it's *you.* It's you, and you'll always be the best part of whoring around in Mexico, because I remember when your idea of getting crazy was cinnamon Schnapps and putting your hand down my pants."

Lance fights a bull in Mexico on their Cancun vacation (canon, for those of you keeping score at home)! And it's not tacky at all because Betty's honesty to the pairing makes it loving but not forgivingly so. There's banter, there's true love, but it's not hearts and flowers - it's messy and complicated and they both need to realize different things to make it work between them. There's a lot of affection in this piece but it's also very, very sexy, very much among the ranks of Hottest Fics Ever. Lance as a slut for Joey? Please sir, may I have more than I could ever possibly hope to handle.

In other news, I packed up almost my entire dorm room in four hours today, can't possibly love Showstoppers!Lance more than for the blush it elicits from him now, and had a pleasant dinner with my mum who thinks Colin Farrell is as swank as we do. Lots o' driving tomorrow and festivities with Miranda because we haven't seen each other in two days yo, and that's just way too long.

"Somebody say 'codependency'? No? No one? Okay then."

*mwah*

You and your mum have a safe and pleasant ride, and I'll see you on the other, flatter side of 320 miles. Must now unplug Ezekiel and drag him, kicking and screaming, away from the ethernet port. Or maybe that's me.

LOL, darling. No codependence here! Healthy as horses. Err, some other non-connotative healthy animal at least.

Thank you, hope you and yours make it back without incident as well. *pets your head* You're always more than welcome to come hole up in the office. (Sometimes working) DSL isn't ethernet, but it ain't to be sneezed at.
