The Ninomiya Exchange

It's the first day of the month after Nino Month, which means we've officially made it through Nino Season! Thanks for being a part of the fifth anniversary party! As usual, let me begin with the absolutely, positively, very very necessary acknowledgments:

- I had three super fabulous pinch hitters this year: thank you to astrangerenters, inaudible_d, and lover_youshould, who deserve all the hugs and kisses they consent to!

- And of course, to each and every one of you, for whatever your role here was: reading, writing, being excited, lurking, what have you. I say it every year because there's nothing that comes out of my mouth that's more sincere: this exchange would actually, literally be nothing without you.

And now...

( Onto the reveals! )

Thank you all, again and always, for everything. This year was definitely one of the most successful Nino parties we've ever had, and it's all because of you. My role's really minimal compared to what you all do, but I'm so glad and proud to be a part of something that so many people seem to enjoy (and that brings such consistently great fic to boot).

As always, you know where to find me, so feel free to hit me up if you need me 365.25 days a year, for Nino fic business and otherwise. ♥

Until next year! :3.

Title: Chocolate Disco
Pairing/Focus: Nino/Aiba, Nino/Jun, Kaze
Rating: R
Warnings: N/A
Summary: It starts with a magic lizard, continues with a whole lot of chocolate, and ends with a song. It's a long story. Too bad Nino can't tell it.
Notes: Dear beta, you are a hero. Dear mod, you are a champion. Dear Eito, I'm sorry. Dear cutselvage, I hope you love it!!

( I hope it reaches you... )

Part 2

For: gomushroom
From: ltgmars

Title: in another lifetime
Pairing/Focus: Nino with a small cast cobbled between Arashi/Kanjani8/TOKIO; Matsumiya friendship, hints of Nino/Subaru
Rating: PG
Warnings: non-linear storytelling, logic? what logic?
Summary: Nino lives in one universe among many, and he's one of the few people who knows it.
Notes: gomushroom, this is a travel AU of sorts! Also very vaguely an office AU! You had so many interesting things in your sign-up and I had trouble piecing together a cohesive story from it, so have instead something completely incoherent. I hope you enjoy this small peek into the lives that are and could be! ♥ Beta-san, what would I do without you?

Title: The Night Shift
Pairing/Focus: Ninomiya Kazunari/Aiba Masaki with Ninomiya Kazunari/Matsumoto Jun sidepairing
Rating: PG
Warnings: Spiders and accidents.
Summary: Memory lane. Everyone has one. Everyone enters the space when they’re alone, even if their situation is a bit odd.
Notes: I hope this is enjoyable for you! I’m never sure if it will be enjoyable for anyone. Thank you to the mod for putting up with me yet again, and to my beta for always being there to beta and hear my cries. Also, thank you for your prompt. I came up with the idea immediately, even though the concept turned out oddly challenging for me to fight through! Also, there may feel like some loose ends, but this is from Nino’s perspective and I tried to make it as Nino as possible, so while it is a loose end to the reader, it isn’t to Nino.

( Café N83 (2/2) )

For: augustfai
From: gomushroom

Title: A Collection of Assembled Almosts
Pairing/Focus: Nino/Aiba
Rating: NC-17
Warning: light spanking.
Summary: Nino has so much of Aiba in his heart, therefore he dreams of distant places and lives on borrowed time.
Notes: augustfai, you were right, I just wanted to write Nino as a cat robot at the end of the day. So, here’s a fic of Nino/Aiba baked in a postmodern-lit pie with incongruous allusions to Cloud Atlas, Inception, Nazo Di, and #Brooklyn99 for you. I truly hope you enjoy these chaotic non-linear AUs. Also, many thanks to nino_mod as always ♥!

Title: Lost at Sea
Pairing/Focus: Nino/Sho
Rating: PG
Warnings: mentions of vomiting (non-specific), drinking
Summary: Nino has been Sho's best friend for over fifteen years. But lately, something is different.
Notes: Thank you's to my cheerleaders, who talked me into signing up in the first place, and continued to let me whine when I got stuck (and subsequently talked me through it). Thank you to my beta, who was also a huge source of encouragement. And most importantly, thank you to Kino, for being so great to write for! I truly hope that you enjoy it, from the bottom of my heart, and it was a joy to write for you.
