Juice is a popular character on Sons of Anarchy. He started as a reccuring character but due to his popularity with the fans he's been upgraded to series regular in season 2.
Background
Juice was born in Queens and his first name is Juan Carlos, though it's rarely used. He's the club's hacker and is often responsible for gathering intel for the club.
At the same time, he's pretty simple minded and the Club doesn't find him very reliable.
Relegated to comic relief for most of the series, Juice got a big dramatic storyline that spanned seasons four and five where he was forced to rat on the club during a RICO investigation. That plot influenced heavily all fics written during that time.
Some fan speculate hat he might've come from an abused home.
Common Pairings
In slash, Juice is paired most often with Chibs Telford. After season 4 premiere where in a playful conversation Gemma and Clay discussed the club's stay in prison and suggested that Clay used Juice for sexual favors, a lot of fans ackowledged Juice/Clay as headcanon.
Fanon and Common Tropes in Fanworks
Juice is often portrayed as immature and vulnerable (both mentally and emotionally) and in romance fics as submissive of the two paired characters. In a similar manner to canon, he's portrayed as seeking acceptance and affection.
Some fics explore his background and family situation, as well as the origin of his nickname.
