Title: Sick Cycle Carousel (1/2)
Fandom: American Idol
Rating: R
Pairing: Kris/Adam, with Katy, the other Idols, and a bunch of media dudes (Cantiello, Slezak, Seacrest, etc.)
Disclaimer: OMG never happened.
Genre: slash, and...I'd call it "dramedy" rather than "angst," but whatever.
Words: 12,733
Timeline: August 2009 (mid-tour) - January 2010
Summary: In which Kris feels like an asshole most of the time, uses his best friend for sex, torpedoes his marriage, calls Matt a whore, becomes a tabloid star, and doesn't cry. All missteps in the right direction.
Warning: If the concepts of of divorce, joyless fucking and dysfunctional!Kris turn you off, you might not want to read this. (Mind you, I'm a hardcore Kris stan, so this isn't an attempt at character assassination. I'd call it character exploration, maybe?)
A/N: (The self-indulgent babbling deserved its own post.)
Special thanks to: This is my first time getting beta-ed, and I couldn't have picked better people: 1) SRS BSNS LAWYER beta, [livejournal.com profile] jehane18, who kept me in line, made sure all the legal aspects were factually correct, all while being super nice and a little drunk. 2) The lovely and insightful [livejournal.com profile] arjumand, who pulled me out of my whiny "OMG, I hate iiiiiiit" Teflon Drama phase. 3) Brilliant pop culture guru [livejournal.com profile] phaballa, who is really fucking funny and totes adorable in her seething (and contagious) hatred of Jive Records. BB practically co-wrote this, she's awesome with the introspection and one-liners. I'd also like to thank [livejournal.com profile] conditionelle, because it's her enthusiasm that turned this from "plot bunny I was trying to ignore" to "actualfax fic."
Fanmix: Download here. I also included one with separate files, lyric snippets and my commentary here, but it contains spoilers.
Art: The framazing [livejournal.com profile] katekat1010 made a movie poster here! ♥______♥

You're like Nick Lachey, but with actual talent. What's left of you, anyway. )
