just can't find the phrase, dear

While searching through my journal the other day I came upon a not-quite-meme, and decided to have another go.

I think it works like this: choose ten titles from your fic, and invite readers to guess what the story is about.

I've divided them by fandom, in case it makes a difference...

Popslash
A Little Bit Extra
Fettered
A Tale of Torment and Sweet Revenge
An Empty Cardboard Box
Cocktail Party
The Story of James Lance, who Told Lies, and Came to a Sticky End
Who's Your Daddy

ST:TNG
Between SemiQuavers
A Few Datas More

Glambert
Sparrowhawk and Beeswax

So, pick one, and tell me what you think the story is about!

ACTUALLY. Can I change one of my answers???

A Tale of Torment and Sweet Revenge -- In 1996, Joey eats the last ice cream sandwich out of the freezer, EVEN THOUGH JUSTIN HAD CLEARLY WRITTEN HIS INITIALS ON IT IN SHARPIE, and so Justin spends the next twenty years planning lurid, violent revenge. Then one day he and Joey get drunk and randomly hook up and it's so good Justin decides he has no choice but to renounce his vow. He tells this story at their wedding reception like it's a perfectly normal anecdote and everyone -- except for Joey, who's heard it before -- sits there like O.O.

And a bonus! Who's Your Daddy -- Chris and JC haven't been dating for very long and when one night, mid-coitus, Chris slaps JC's ass and asks, "who's your daddy?" JC unthinkingly blurts out, "I told you! I'm adopted! I don't know!" It really kills the mood.

I fear me Justin would actually do that. Scared now! (My story involves Chris, Lance, wedgies and whipped cream. But sadly, no pirates.)

Awwwwww, poor TrickC! Well, the story does feature JC, and the question is answered, eventually. Heh.

I'm sorry, but this answer really made me laugh. I mean, they were all inspired but this one tickled me. Sorry again, JC!

This nearly-a-meme is the source of great joy for me!

No, please, I want you to laugh! I don't know if JC would appreciate it, but he ain't here right now, so TOUGH.
