A friends-to-romance story between J.C., at the beginning of his success, and Emma, an intern. Their intent to keep their friendship grounded and expectations realistic prevents them from admitting they're turning their back on something even more special. Originally published in 1998 on a Geocities website, when I was a young intern and 'N Sync fan trying my hand at writing fiction for the first time. I learned about fandom, feedback, backlash, and gained enough confidence at the experiment to eventually try my hand at writing professionally. So thank you to the Twinkiegurl fans.
