'Living' is definitely my favorite Mattslash story.

Why?

It could have something to do with the Drewsome (who doesn't like to read about Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, and Drew Lachey all wrapped up in one gorgeously amazing package?), or with the way the Howie/Chris pairing actually made me *tolerate* Chris more than before (yes, Liz, be proud!!).

Or maybe it's the Psy/Chotic pairing.  Those two love each other so much that they go insane with it.

And the AJ/Kevin pairing (with some Lance/Joey thrown in) has a great dynamic!

Fisting 101 is also something I'll always remember.

I could go on for a good 3 pages here, so someone had better stop me!  *tee-hee*

Thank you!

Drew/Nick/Brian = the best idea I've ever had.

mmmm, Love the Drewsome!  Psy & Chotic are great too.  I felt so bad for Justin when they staged the intervention, he was totally lost. 

Anyone check out today's People?  Nic Carter is looking really good.  I'm glad he is clean and sober now Smiley

Lancifer!!!!!!!!!  I'd almost completely forgotten about Lancifer.  Yes, I dropped 'Sucker' and went back to 'Living' for a while.  Hush, I have too many stories to reread and I don't think I'll get through them all before I leave on Saturday.  Ok?  ok.

I love Living, it's my go to story.  But it's the JC/Justin pairing that does it for me.  I actually really love all the pairings in the story, but JC and Justin and all their psycho-drama makes me happy.

Oh. My. God. Can I tell you how much I love Living??  Love It is my all time favorite on-line story Of. All. Time.  Living totally beats out ITL (and ITL is freaking awesome).

I think I've reread Living maybe 4 times so far.  Not nearly enough.

The Drewsome is amazing.  I love them so much.  I love my Drew!!

Living always makes me cry when 98* has those fucking evil people at the concert and nearly ruin everyones lives and then when they're all reunited I cry again.

AJ/Kevin is just about the hottest thing ever.  Drool

Chris/Howie!!  Chris/Howie!!  I absolutely adore Chris/Howie!!  They are by far my second favorite pairing in Living.  They are so cute.  So so so incredibly cute and sweet and romantic and I just love them to death.

When they have they all decide to form their own bands and keep trading people and splitting off and creating new alliances!  Ahh I just love it!!

God, I freaking love Living.  *happy sigh* I need to reread it again!! Adore

I want to go to Kendig.  I actually looked up Kendig the first time I read it because I thought this place was so awesome!  I didn't know it only existed in Matthew's world.  Kendig is so lucky - not only do they get Living but they get the Backstreet orgy from....from.....from......Road Trip?*goes off to check title names...* no Road Trip is *NSYNC,  I'm thinking about Loving Blind.  That was a good story!

*massive amount of perkiness ensues*

Living!

Ah!

It's always been a fun story for me.  I love the beginning of it, how they all get together.

And when Nick is so insecure after he gives Drew to Brian.

And... and!!  When Brian proposes to Nick!!!!!!!  I was in tears when I read that!  And I had a grin on my face that was a mile wide!  Matthew did very very well then.  Smiley

Thank you, Matthew!!

I should have a quiz at the end of "Living," where you can test your knowledge.

I know!  It's pathetic!  *hangs head*   Sad Stare  But I used to let school work get in the way of rereading it all the time simply because Living is so long - so I'd read short/long stories inbetween studying and goofying off lol  But now that I'm out of college and can't get a job....I guess I should start to get on reading! lol

lmao.  Yay for the Drewsome!

What's one of your favorite Drewsome scenes?

Personally, I love it when Brian proposes to Nick and Drew whacks Nick in the back of the head with a pillow.  I just love the whole sequence when Nick misses the hell out of Brian and he sees Brian again and doesn't wanna believe it.

Pixie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL. Whenever M and I call Brian a Pixie we freak our friend OUT! She's always like "He is NOT!"

And we reply " Yes he is! And he's purple!"

hmmm... I am seeing a theme of empathic good men and colors...

I have far far too many favorite parts of Living.... Um Nick communing with his knees? Floating Hearts... Ah the Drewsome! (Totally need a Drewsome smiley  I see 2's and 4's but no 3's)

I have to admit that Psy and Chotic are my least fav characters in this one but I'm impatient and they do have a few adorable places where I want to squish them...

AJ coloring Howie's hair? Buzzy Almost more than I could bear.

Jeff has issues.  He also has a Nick and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I love Joey in WYB! Period.

I love Chris and his ADD/OCD pretty much the whole time. But you could argue that he only shows the OCD about Howie so yeah...

I think Kevin and AJ should've been allowed to have a genetically bred child. Don't ask me how that would work but I think the combination of their genes would easily create the ruler of this star system and the next.

I'll stop because this makes less sense as I go along. Opps

It made perfect sense to me!  (Love the icon by the way)  Any scene with Nick Carter in it is my favorite.  Hmm  Do you think I'm prejudice at all?

I was already into Nsync and Nick Carter's solo stuff when I started reading Living.  But it made me a huge BSB fan and I even bought a 98 Degrees CD.  ANd then when Friction came along, and I now own some OTown music.
