The Ninomiya Exchange

Here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for~ But first! I want to take this opportunity to thank the usual suspects:

- My trusty betas for their hard work on several fic!

- My pinch hitter for the pinchiest pinch hit that ever did pinch, the champion face of my heart, lover_youshould!

And last but not least,

- You! For reading, writing, enjoying, and celebrating with me this year and every year. This exchange would be nothing without you. I hope Nino Month treated you well this time 'round. :3.

( AND SUDDENLY REVEALS?! )

Thank you again for everything. As always, feel free to say things -- anything, everything -- to me via e-mail (ninoexchange@gmail.com), LJ PM, Twitter, Tumblr, whatever. Your Nino fic wish is my Nino fic command.

Until next year. ♥

Title: Every Morning
Pairing/Focus: Ninomiya/Ohno/Matsumoto, one-sided Ninomiya/Okada, implied Okada/Sakamoto
Rating: PG-13 for sexual references, brief gory imagery, dark themes
Warnings: Mentions of character death, medical experimentation, and moral ambiguity. Kind of twisted!
Summary: Human cloning was still a sensitive subject. The leading research in the west was met both with enthusiasm and condemnation, talk of technology and curing diseases, of eugenics and playing god. But in Japan, where the declining population was a rising concern, they had no qualms about dismissing the Christian God who was so willing to let their numbers disintegrate. In Japan, their god was science.
Notes: Hi, clipsie! The idea of cloning really jumped out at me, though I'm using it a little differently than what you mentioned. This fic is a lot of things I don't often write, but I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the challenge! :D Lots of love to my beta, M.

Title: Of postcards and flower petals – the little things that bind us
Pairing/Focus: Ohmiya
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mentions of death.
Summary: Of childhood grudges, of unexpected reunions and partings, their paths would cross again
Notes: Okay, I’m not sure what genre this is – a mixture of friendship, romance and slice of life. What started out as a short story turned out to be a compilation of life events, until the fic blew out of proportion and grew crazy-long. Sit back and relax as you read it. I hope you like it! I would like to thank Inez for agreeing to beta this fic at the last minute. :) Disclaimer: I do not own Postcrossing. It's just a site my friend introduced to me.

Pairing/Focus: Gen (with BFFery in the form of Jun/Mao, Aiba/Nino, and Aiba/animals)
Rating: PG
Warnings: Brief and vague descriptions of violence

Title: Delight!
Pairing/Focus: Ninomiya Kazunari/Ohkura Tadayoshi
Rating: PG
Warnings: possible OOC. I hope not but I truly apologize if it is. DX
Summary: Nino is an ice cream vendor who had a weird palate and hates ice cream. Ohkura is a pretty male customer who is also his...fan? (AU)
Notes: Dear ltgmars, I’m nervous I wanted to write you a sci-fi with tons of JE cameos at first, but when I knew I couldn’t make it, I wanted to write you a Nino/not Arashi member at the very least. From there, I wrote a Nino/Kiko, a Nino/Subaru, then it finally turned to this. I don't know what to make of this particular AU but I do hope you enjoy it even if it's just for a tiny bit.

Big thanks to E who became my sounding board, (in sickness and in defective keyboards), and an awesome beta ♥ I don't know what to do without you and your amazing rainbow pompoms. :D

Title: Never Over.
Pairing/Focus: Aiba/Nino, mentions of Nino/other people.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Infidelity (with a happy end).
Summary: Romance makes your heart beat faster, love makes you feel at peace. Aiba tries to set a pattern to Nino’s visits and fails. AU.
Notes:
For my hand-holders and beta, I and C, thank you for all your patience and for always being your awesome selves.
Dear dirtbaguette, I’m sorry this is not Aiba-finding-out-Nino-is-a fairy kind of story, but I hope there are enough Aimiya love to make up for it. This is a delight to write ♥
P.S There are a few notes at the end to explain the Japanese terms.

Title: My Guardian Angel
Pairing: Sakumiya (Yamada Taro and Mimura Takuya)
Rating: PG13
Genre: Romance/ Fantasy/ Angst
Summary: A year has passed since Yamada Taro and Mimura Takuya graduated from high school. Nothing has changed for Taro, except that demons are after him. Mimura must protect him with the help a few new awaken powers, but something happened between them that has made things awkward, and Mimura can't understand why.
Notes: For murrponchan in the ninoexchange fic. I was super glad I got to write for you when I saw that you wanted something supernatural, and I also wanted to please you in keeping the Yamada Taro universe. It took a couple of tries, but I hope you enjoy this story!

Title: Twelve Summers or What You Will
Pairing/Focus: Nino/Ohno, Nino/Jun, Nino/Aiba, Sho/Jun
Rating: Light R
Warnings: Genderfluid!Ohno, genderswitch!Sho, polyamory lifestyle, not enough magic for a magical AU fic, loose application of soulmate trope.
Summary: One of Ohno’s ultimate assignments as Nino’s fairy god has always been Nino’s soulmate arrangement with Jun.
Notes: A part of the title is a rip-off of Twelfth Night, which had been an inspiration even if it didn't really stick at the end; there’re also quotes from Rakuen, just saying.

Dear harinezumi_kun, I am extremely nervous with this fic. I tried to incorporate many things from your prompts—several of them were unfamiliar at first, it had been a great challenge writing this along with the extremely fun research. I also saw you played with fairy god concept (brilliantly) before; this fic is just my trying to play with the ideas a bit further. I hope you'll enjoy this ♥! Dear those who held my (trembling) hands through and through, you guys are the greatest, I love you. Dear nino_mod, thank you so much for everything ♥! Lastly, Dear Nino, you're 30, happy birthday!

Part 2

For: arashiforyou
From: shardaunei

Title: Forevermore
Pairing/Focus: Ohmiya
Rating: PG
Warnings: Unrequited love -nino_mod
Summary: Back in high school, Nino thought Ohno-kun is someone he can only admire from afar. No way would one of the most popular sempais in school would ever notice a mere lower classman such as himself… until his best friend, Aiba Masaki, gave Ohno two of his songs he was secretly writing about his feelings for the boy. Instead of embarrassing him, Ohno had been kind and praising him for his gift of songwriting. Years later, Nino became one of the most popular musicians in Japan. Yet, all these years he wondered, whatever became of the boy who was his inspiration years ago?
Notes: For arashiforyou. This was truly a challenge because truth be told, I have only written one other Ohmiya fic before and this pairing is out of my comfort zone. Apologies in advance if the pairing characterization is off. I was only working off from my muse. I hope you still like it. Big thanks to my beta reader, J. ^^
