The Ninomiya Exchange

Reveals, yesss! We made it!

First -- always first -- thank you so much for participating. This exchange wouldn't be possible without you writers and you readers and the enthusiasm you all have for it. Running an exchange can be surprisingly stressful, but knowing you're having as much fun as you are makes it all worth it.

And of course, thank you to my special helpers -- those of you I tapped for beta jobs, as well as our super pro pinch hitters: alphie_damiek, harinezumi_kun, ltgmars, and primroseshows (who offered to pinch even though she wasn't participating in the exchange to begin with, what a star ♥).

And without further ado, here's the table!

( HERE! )

Thank you again for all of the love you put into this exchange. I had a lot of fun. :3. As always, comments, suggestions, and whatnot are exceedingly welcome -- send them my way via e-mail (ninoexchange@gmail.com) or LJ PM.

Until next year. ♥

Title: Proper Etiquette for Nurturing Team Cohesion
Pairing/Focus: Ohmiya, Matsumiya
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: A little bit of cross-dressing.
Summary: What do a reluctant earthbender, a conflicted firebender, a generally clueless waterbender, and a non-bender pro-bending enthusiast have in common? A problem named Nino.
Notes: This fic is a fusion in the Legend of Korra universe, which means that: a) some people are benders who can manipulate the four elements (air, earth, fire, water), b) some benders use their skill and participate in professional tournaments (three members to a team: earth, fire, and water), c) some non-benders don’t like benders, d) a Satomobile is a type of car, and e) the world is home to a lot of weird hybrid animals. If you guys aren’t familiar with Avatar The Last Airbender, I would sincerely and perhaps hysterically recommend that series to you, but you don’t really need any more knowledge than what’s mentioned above to understand this fic. (At least this is my hope!)

For harinezumi_kun. Jess, wow, so this is… uh. WELL anyway, it is something, so maybe it’ll be something you like!

And finally: thanks, endless thanks, the hills are alive with the sound of my thanks for my amazing beta.

Title: Beautiful Days
Pairing/Focus: Nino/Ryo, with cameos from cast members and group members
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Summary: Erika plants the idea in Nino's head, and Nino has trouble shaking it out. Maybe he should fall in love with Ryo.
Notes: This is Ryusei no Kizuna behind-the-scenes get-together fic. lilly0, I hope you enjoy it! <3 I came up with a few ideas before I finally settled on this one, so hopefully it brings you some joy. Thank you to my beta for all your help!

( Erika's cute, like a real little sister, so when she says one day between scenes that Nino and Ryo should get together, Nino has to resist the urge to pat her on the head and tell her how precious she is. )

Title: The Artistry of Thievery by Team Ariake
Pairing/Focus: Nino, Ninomiya Kazunari/Matsumoto Jun, mentions of Ninomiya Kazunari/Sasaki Nozomi
Rating: PG
Warnings: AU. A lot of really random pairings, I don’t even know how that happened. Crack. I added in almost every single Johnny’s group, and even if they’re not mentioned, they are totally there.
Summary: Nino’s the leader of a small team of master thieves. This is what ends up happening when he gets asked to steal something back for the local museum that Sho works at.
Notes: I kind of went a bit nuts, and took random things from your prompts and came out with this, so I do hope you like it, gomushroom. I would like to thank my beta, who ended up being my cheerleader as well through all the random moments that ended up making this fic take more than it should have.

Title: when the well is dry, we know the worth of water.
Focus/Pairing: Nino-centric/None really? Everyone’s bros with everyone.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Super-powers. Internal conflict. Mentions of snuffing people out easily. No actual death that I'm aware of though. Hm.
Summary: "Nino is the Avatar. He is swift as a coursing river with all the force of a great typhoon. Then he will set fire to the rain, watch it burn as he touches your face." or Nino discovers his superpower. It’s not a happy series of events.
Notes: Basically superpower fic! I am so sorry fluffyneen. This might not be what you were looking for but I tried my best and I hope that you like it, OH MY GOD I REALLY AM SO SORRY IF YOU DON’T. Also to nino_mod I AM SO SORRY LET ME GROVEL AT YOUR FEET BECAUSE I AM A MESS WITH DEADLINES. Many, many thanks to Y, who helped me shape this idea, A, who fixed my typos halfway through, and everyone who held my hand. Special thanks to S who helped me end this thing. I LOVE YOU GUYS ;_; Also everyone has a superpower... kind of.

Title: Soulful Strut
Pairing/Focus: Nino/Riisa, Jun/Aiba
Rating: PG for language
Warnings: cross-dressing
Summary: Aiba is newly single and epically unbearable, so Nino decides to take matters into his own hands. Kind of.
Notes: I am just one in a long list of writers who've decided to exploit the Nino/Riisa similarity factor. Think The Parent Trap, but with non-twins and non-parents. Please willingly suspend your disbelief for this. Thank you, of course, to you who betaed, for betaing. augustfai, I hope you enjoy it! ♥

Pairing/Focus: matsumiya, mostly snarky bff-ery
Rating: G
Warnings: None! Wacky detective times!
Summary: “Nino the detective gets a case he can’t solve.”
Notes: yet another detective story for the exchange :D;; For ltgmars, with all my love and thank you for your patience ♥ And thanks to J for handholding and support, and K for an amazing last-minute beta!

Title: Minor League
Pairing/Focus: Ninomiya Kazunari/Kamenashi Kazuya; Nishikido Ryo
Rating: NC-17 (for sex, not too explicit, but I guess you could say I'm...covering all the bases. Boo.)
Warnings: Baseball AU written by someone who isn't a baseball fan LOL
Summary: It wasn't lack of skill that kept Kame from pitching, Nino came to understand. It was Kame himself.
Notes: For yukitsubute. Hello! I really loved your idea of Nino as a journalist following baseball player Kame, so I hope you'll like this and that there's enough romance for you!
