Warnings: Adult content
Word count:22,800
Summary: When high school science teacher JC Chasez goes missing under weird circumstances, his partner Joey Fatone calls in Chris Kirkpatrick and Nick Carter, private investigators who specialize in spooky. This case is weird even for them, though, and Chris soon finds himself more involved in it than he ever intended to be.
(This is a sequel to last year's Sesa story, Noche, but hopefully it stands on its own.)
Title:
Park GuyAuthor:
catviretArtist:
pensnestPairing: Justin/Lance
Rating: PG-13 (some swearing)
Word Count: 30,500
Summary: Oakland, CA: Justin Timberlake is a long way from home, 27 years old and working two part-time jobs while he struggles through the final semester of his degree. Between school, his job, his other job, and his friendships with the rest of Chris Kirkpatrick's "waifs and strays", he really doesn't have time for a boyfriend. Especially not the guy he sees in the park every morning, the hot stranger with the down-home accent who walks his dogs at the same time Justin takes his morning run.
But then "Park Guy" walks right into Justin's life - actually, right into the gym where Justin works. Will Justin take the risk and let somebody new into his life? Or keep up the old routine at the cost of staying lonely?

Title:
Dear GoodbyeAuthor:
phaballaArtist:
semijocundPairing: Justin/Nick, Justin/Chris
Rating/Warnings: Adult in every conceivable way
Word count: 22,345
Summary: Justin remembers the sand most of all. Miles and miles of it, the lightest tan, coarse and grainy, extending in all directions to meet the fluorescent blue of the sky at the horizon in an endless line that waved in the heat of the desert sun. He remembers the dirt roads between villages and the only slightly better roads between cities; he remembers that first sip of water, sweet and cold, the best damn thing he ever tasted even after only ten minutes under the sun. He remembers riding in the back of the jeep, pressed hip-to-knee with his company and wondering if today was the day they'd all get fucked to hell by a roadside bomb.
But mostly, Justin remembers the sand. The sand, and Nick.

(You've Got) That Pornstar FlavaAuthor:
etsu_88Artist:
samibeePairing: Chris-centric, with sides of Chris/AJ; Chris/JC; Chris/Justin; AJ/Brian; Justin/Nick; AJ/Nick; AJ/Justin; Jensen/Jared; David Cook/David Archuleta (I am an equal opportunist) all to varying degrees
Rating: R. ish.
Warnings: This is pretty much a pornstore AU? Only sans the porn.
Word count: ~33,000
Summary: AJ's only been working there a year and a half, give or take, so Chris can see why he doesn't get it. He's still at the stage where porn is shiny and exciting. Thing is, Chris has been a TRANS-PORN employee for almost twice that. After the first twenty thousand tapes, even the weird sex is boring.
Title:
Don't Worry About ItAuthor:
inahurricaneArtist:
linear_flowerPairing: AJ/Nick
Rating/Warnings: R
Word count: 20,269
Summary: "Nice to meet you." Nick extended his hand to a weak, tattooed hand which shook it lightly. AJ eyed him suspiciously since he first appeared in the doorway. He was tall with blue eyes and blonde hair that seemed to spike out every direction it chose, but what caught his attention most was that he had never seen him before. He had been there for a bit over two weeks so he figured he knew every doctor, nurse, and staff member. Just when he thought he had the system figured out, this guy walks in wearing his blue scrubs and his stethoscope around his neck and-wait, did Elaine really refer to him as a nurse? AJ looked at the ID clipped to the pocket of his shirt. Nick Carter, RN, BSN. Definitely a nurse. Even got his Bachelor's in Nursing.
So out of the 35 that originally signed up, 15 have completed and posted their stories, with two more coming sometime next week. I want to say a huge, HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed, who stayed up long nights writing or drawing or mixing away. I am completely in love with the turnout, and I can't wait to finish the rest of these stories, because the ones I've read so far have been fantastic!
So we are offically done with
bittybang! Thank you for a GREAT challenge, you guys! And once again I have to encourage everyone who watches this comm to read through the stories, check out the art, and leave some feedback. People have worked so hard, and I think that deserves an acknowledgement. ♥
