Ok. Bear with me on this one. A dialogue fic with all four characters wandering in and out. So-

Will

Grace

Jack

Karen

"I don't know how I can go on! My life is over!"

"Yeah, well, do it outside. I'm reading 'Ten ways to become a better lover'."

"About time. Aren't you gonna ask me what's wrong?"

"Why bother? You'll tell me anyway."

"I am heartbroken here! Tony, the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with dumped me last night!"

"Why?"

"I dunno. He didn't say."

"Karen'll be pleased. You can write more of your dirty stories to 'release your pain'."

"Do not mock the afflicted, buster! Then again, I suppose you are one of the afflicted, what with all that fat."

"I am not fat!"

"Sure. I'm going to work through my pain."

"Fine. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out."

---

"Your wife's not here, Wilma, so buzz off."

"Nice to see you too, Karen. What's wrong with you two? Did bitch club end early today?"

"He won't let me read his stories."

"I don't want her to."

"'And today we have two friends who became bitter enemies over porn.' You two are awful."

"Just coz we're not fat."

"And wearing trousers that make us look like tree trunks."

"Oo, good one Kare."

"I'm still not talking to you. But I know."

"Why won't you let her read the stories?"

"They're personal."

"Aw, Jack, did you put yourself in them?"

"Noooo."

"Oh, oh, he's blushing!"

"I am not!"

"Let me read them."

"No. Leave me alone! I'm too young and beautiful to be destroyed by you two."

"Jack, you are neither young nor beautiful. Maybe in a dark alley. On a cloudy night."

"Poodle, don't mind him. He's just upset because he's secretly in love with Grace. Except it's not so secret! Oh, I kill me. Come on, let's go home. We can make fun of the fat one and Rosario can make us cocktails."

"I'm off alcohol this month."

"Oh, she'll find something."

"Bye… Hey Grace."

"Hey. Was that Karen leaving?"

"You're surprised that Karen is leaving early?"

"No, I'm surprised that she was still here. Normally she goes off to have a manicure."

"She was mad at Jack. He broke up with Tony last night, so he's writing porn again, but he won't let her read them. He was really protective of them."

"Why not?"

"He put himself in them."

"In that case I don't want to read them. Jack's done things that are illegal."

"And most of them seemingly impossible."

"Yeah… pass me that file from Karen's desk."

"Here. Hey, what's this? Oo, it's the story! Jack must have left it!"

"Will, if Jack really didn't want you to read it, maybe you shouldn't…"

"Oh, shut up Martha, you want to know what's in it just as much as I do."

"I don't. I respect my friends and their privacy. Will, what's wrong? You're going pale. Sit down. What's in the story?"

"Oh God…"

"What? What's in there? Let me look!"

"Ok. Here's part- 'Jack moaned in silent ecstasy as his lover moved experienced hands along him. "I love you," he breathed. A low chuckle greeted his words, and he knew they were unneeded. His lover knew everything about him.'"

"So? What's wrong with that? A bit tame really."

"'Jack gasped and arched his back as a nimble tongue began to work its way along him. He panted as he was brought to a higher level of pleasure than he had ever dreamed of. He lay back on the silken sheets, completely spent, looking down at his lover, who licked his lips. "Will…"'"

"Oh my god! Jack has fantasies about you!"

"Now do you understand why I was pale!"

"Well, yeah. I would be if I found out my friend thought about me like that. Ew, do you think he thinks about you when he…?"

"When he…"

"You know! When he…?"

"Wh- oh, Grace, nice actions."

"It is possible. After all, he did tell you he loved you before."

"That was years ago! And he was only being stupid."

"Maybe he wasn't. Maybe he really does love you."

"Oh, yeah, that's why he has a new boyfriend for every occasion."

"Do I detect bitterness?"

"Noooo, of course not."

"Aw, you like him writing about you."

"No I don't! It's just plain- Jack."

"Hey. Karen forgot her pills. Why do you look like you realised how fat you are, and why is Grace grinning?"

"Oh, no reason. I'll see you two later."

"Ok, that was weird."

"Jack, I- I read your story."

"What! All of it?"

"No, just this page."

"Oh. What's wrong with it?"

"Jack. It's you and me."

"What? No it isn't."

"Jack and Will. Those are our names."

"What? Oh, they are. Damn, I never noticed that before. God, Will, I know you have a major crush on me, but it'll nev-er hap-pen. It's fanfiction."

"Huh?"

"God. A story using characters from a TV show, or movie or book. I did Pirates of the Caribbean. Jack Sparrow, Will Turner… do you really think I'd have daydreams about you… ew! Ew! I feel sick."

"Thanks Jack, for boosting my confidence in that way. See you tonight?"

"Boy Bar at eight."

"See ya."

"Bye."

…

"At least he believed the story. Idiot."
