 "Time is a lot of the things people say that God is. There's the always preexisting, and having no end. There's the notion of being all powerful--because nothing can stand against time, can it? Not mountains, not armies. And time is, of course, all healing. Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardships erased, all loss subsumed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return. And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil." -D.G

 

DISCLAMER: I don't own *NSYNC or Justin Timberlake, JIVE records, or anything else affiliated with the boys.  All of my stories are works of fiction.  I do own all original characters, plots, etc.  Please don't steal my stuff!

Past Featured Story Things aren’t always black and white. Relationships, situations, people - they're complicated and messy, and often heartbreaking, even when they make you happy. Sometimes they’re gray, sometimes they’re blue, and when Justin meets Zooey, everything suddenly turns… yellow.

OK.  I'll bite.  Actually, I'll more than bite...you've got me hooked.  (Blame my other half for the terrible fishing analogies!)

First, she's from Boston and that's kick ass. Secondly, you have this crazy, uncanny way of making your characters seems so authentic and genuine.  I almost want to believe that this is Justin's life.  So...more, please. :)



Author's Response: LOL no worries, I'll take whatever you give me. I'm glad you're hooked! And, I can't lie, I dislike most things involving Boston (like the Celtics and Red Sox), but it does seem like a pretty awesome city, so I thought Zooey could rock it. And secondly, omg I love you for saying that! I definitely try to make my characters realistic and have a... naturalness about them, so I can't thank you enough for saying that. THANK YOU.

Oho!  This is spectacular.  Truly spectacular!  I can't get enough.

Author's Response: Well thanks! You're truly spectacular yourself. Hope to keep hearing from you!

That was so romantic!!! I loved it, especially the Dr. Seuss book reading.  It was perfect, lol.  and I'm not really mad that Justin and Scar got married...I like her.  I like Zooey, too, so....

damn, you know how to confuse me!



Author's Response: Yay! Romantic is definitely what I was going for. The Dr. Seuss reading just kind of leapt out at me and I had to use it, I'm glad you guys "got" it lol. Luckily, no one's really been mad that Justin and Scarlett tied the knot, but it'll definitely make for some split opinions down the road, huh. I'm glad I confused you though, I'm totally trying to lmao. Thanks for the review, babe!

Oh man.  I feel like i'm reading two stories.  JT and ScarJo, and Justin and Zooey.  I just have a feeling that these two stories are going to collide soon enough and it's not going to be pretty. 

I'm on the edge of my seat :)



Author's Response: Hmm, I like that assessment. I like it a lot. Because at this point, that's exactly what it is. And you're right, the two tales will definitely meet at some point, and it'll be... interesting. At least, I hope so lol. Stay on the edge of your seat, it's about to get good!

Gah.  I'm with Zooey.  This is confusing and I don't like where it's headed.  And I think everyone is being really insensitive about Zooey's feelings, she can't control how he makes her feel and it's not as simple as just "walking away" (can you tell I've been here? lol)

So...Team Zo, all the way!

Oh no! Zooey is going to get hurt and it's going to be bad!  I totally wanted them together, but I don't like the Justin that ignores his wife and does what he wants with Zo.  She's the one that's going to get her heart broken...

whew.  That chapter made me emotional :)

You write such an incredible character for Justin, and I don't want to blame him for his indescretions and his inability to figure out what he wants...but, I've come to learn what the other end of infidelity looks like and it's ugly, distorted and completely unfair.  So...Justin, MAN UP!

Sorry.  Obviously I'm taking out my frustrations with a fictional character.  I think I should seek help!

Great update :)

That was sweet.  I want a Justin Timberlake at my side when I give birth, too!  I'm not so sure my hubby would be okay with that, though.  Might get a little jealous :) 

Author's Response: Girl...I'd pop one after the other if it means that he'll stay beside me...lol! Thanks for reading!
