Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day
Rose:
OMG I love that Frank Skinner interview LMAO. That was freaking classic. Hmm...oh, I know, there was this thing in Japan they did in 2009 I think it was lol. OMG it was hilarious. Random questions like...
Fave thing about being in Japan? And they talk about the damn toilets. Hearing Brian say "asswasher" was freaking classic lmao.
This was the only clip I found online. I have them on my computer though.

Today's question:
Since we had a question dealing with pairings a few days ago, name your favorite story with a pairing and tell us why. I'm only going to list a few but obviously if I didn't mention Thr specific pairing you can add it to the list. I'm just mentioning the more popular pairings.
Your favorite:
Nick and Brian story
Nick and Kevin story
AJ and Howie story
AJ and Brian story
Etc...
Feel free to mention your own if you think it fits the category.
Rose:
I never did answer about my fave pairings lol.
Mine's a tie.
It's either Nick and Brian, or Nick and Kevin. I always adored the Frick/Frack bond, and since it did get distant and then close again, it's fun to play with in writing. I almost always tap into it in any fanfic I write at some point or another. Nick and Kevin, I really love their bond in real life. Kevin's always been that father figure/big brother to Nick over the years and I'm just in love with that coming of age type relationship.
Examples?
Something Beautiful by Hannah - GREAT example of the Nick/Brian relationship as it's put through the ringer.
The Importance of Fly Fishing by Mare - Epic showing of the Kevin/Nick bond and how even at the darker Nick years lol, Kevin was doing his best to look out for him.
RokofAges75:
Brian/AJ - "Nowhere to Run" http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/dwlyn/nowhere.html
Brian and AJ struggling to keep each other alive when they find themselves held hostage in a convenience store hold-up gone wrong? Yes please!
Brian/Nick - I agree with Rose's pick "Something Beautiful," but I also have to say "Scared of Reality" http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/hosted/scared.html Another story about two Backstreet Boys who find themselves in a dangerous situation and try to keep each other alive - I guess nothing brings out the bromance like a good suspense story!
Nick/Kevin - "The Importance of Fly Fishing" http://accidentalchaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=3655
Again, gotta agree with Rose's pick - there's no other story I've read that captures their relationship so well, the way they drive each other nuts, but they way they look out for each other too.
I can't think of any others offhand that really fit a pairing. I realized, going through my favorites, that most of them are either group stories or stories mainly just about one of them. I'm surprised I don't have a good Nick/AJ fav, for example!
mare:
Thank you both for the Fly Fishing mentions :)
It's been hard for me trying to think of stories I have enjoyed that are pairings related because for the most part, I guess I really am just a fan of group stories but the ones that come to mind as great combo reads are:
Nick & Brian: Can You Keep a Secret - This one is just a cute feel good old school Frick & Frack story.
Nick & AJ: Leaving on a Jetplane - loved the way Izzy writes the relationship between the two youngest Backstreet Boys
Nick & Kevin: Pity on a Dime? I think that is what it was called, but pretty much anything by Cecelia. She did an excellent job writing their dynamic.
All old school stories lol
