*nsync Pairings

So,
rositamia asked me why JuC and trickyfish would 'fit' together, because she liked the elegance in my description of Fraser and Ray's love. So, I'm going to go over why, in my head, each pairing is, in some way, a match. Or at least take a stab at it.
Chris/JC: One of the harder pairings for me to imagine. Actually, anyone else willing to field this one? I've got nothing.
Chris/Joey: I can see Joey just being able to *take* Chris' bitter humor. And not take it personally. And Chris is a cynic, and maybe being with Joey would help with that. Again, not one of my strong pairings.
Chris/Justin: Best friends make the best lovers. Which, I can see, in general, just not in this specific case. Still, no one can pierce Justin's star mask like Chris can. Which is worth a lot.
Chris/Lance: The Snarky Pairing. It's the sense of humor thing. I just see these two egging each other on.
JC/Joey: With JoeC, I always picture this great dynamic where each thinks that he's taking care of the other. Which would be true.
JC/Justin: The Mouse Boys. The Perfectionists. The Songwriters. The (almost) Solo Artists. The Leads. There's a lot to choose from here. They're probably the most equal in terms of talent (Joey is more of a Broadway man, in his soul, and I'd argue that he has the most flat-out talent of the group. God, he was amazing in Rent). Equals. Competitors, even if they'd never admit it. It has the potential to be an interesting dynamic. Though not one that I generally explore.
JC/Lance: Hmm. I can really only see this in the younger days, when these two were thick as thieves. Which, I may add, is an interesting expression.
Joey/Justin: Eh. I really can't think of anything here. Anyone?
Joey/Lance: Again, with the best friends thing. But they're almost too close for me to buy as lovers. They're so... best friend-y. I mean, yes, they could be 'hiding in plain sight' but they just strike me as... friends. Close friends.
Justin/Lance: 'My' pairing. This one should be easy, right? Only, it's hard for me to explain why I love them. They just. They're similar enough that I bet they can find much to bond together on, but they have many differences as well. They just... I. They. Meh. They make my heart shiver and my head tingle.
