Why This Must Be Read: This is one of my favourite things, crack taken (semi)seriously. Due to the usual space-time continuum hiccup, NSYNC from an alternate universe where it's the late 1990s materialise in Atlantis. The fic's actually very charming as they're goofy but streetwise teens who, stranded on Atlantis, gradually settle in and endear themselves, even to Rodney. It ends up with John and Rodney having something like a bunch of adopted kids (who're eventually in a poly fivesome when they're of age, but we'll gloss over that!) You don't need to know anything about NSYNC as it's all from Rodney's POV and he hasn't much of a clue who they are, initially. So we find out about the boys and their personalities through Rodney and John, as they settle into Atlantis, and, inevitably, form a gate team. (They're charismatic! They sing! They're great ambassadors!) Through it all, John and Rodney are together, which the boys find very interesting. It's cracky, sure, but with heart and some depth, and it's a fun read.
"I'm JC," the last one said, and they all mumbled, "And we're NSYNC."
"I'm Dr. Rodney McKay," Rodney said. "And I'm trying to figure out how to send you home, so shut up and let me work, okay?"
"I like your hair," Sheppard said to the one with black and white braids. "Did it take long to put all those in?"
"For God's sake, Sheppard, Elizabeth is not going to let you grow your hair out so you can hide knives in it." Rodney waved a soldering iron at him. "This is Atlantis, but we still follow the regulations!"
Sheppard raised an eyebrow at him. The one with the hair narrowed his eyes and said, "Atlantis?" The other one with the hair, tight and curly like a sheep's pelt, said, "This is a resort?" Rodney said, "Well, all right, so we relaxed the regulations a little--Elizabeth still knows you'd accidentally slice your own throat!" and Miko, who had been clearing her throat quietly, trying to get someone's attention, finally just yelled, "We have another problem!"
"Oh, what now?" Rodney said, turning on her, and she slipped out of range of the soldering iron, watching him warily.
"This is not just NSYNC. This is NSYNC from the past," she said. "1998. Perhaps early 1999."
Everyone stared at her, and she cleared her throat again. "I can tell by their hair," she murmured quietly, and backed further away to stand behind Simpson.

For those a bit vague about NSYNC from this era, here's a pic. (click arrow at left)
