Title: Coffee-flavoured Dreams
Pairing/Focus: Ohmiya
Rating: PG-13 because of swearing I think?
Word count: ~13.500
Warnings: swearing
Summary: Nino owns a small cafe, and Ohno is the newest member of his staff. Right from the start, they somehow rub each other the wrong way, without really knowing why. When they go out to spy out their rivals, they slowly get closer and come to realise the other is not that bad as they’d thought...
Notes: Dear Aubrey, I had fun writing this and I hope you feel similarly when you read it. Thank you for your wonderful prompts, and making it so easy to pick some of them up and put them into a story.

Title: dyás
Pairing: Nino/Jun
Rating: PG-13
Word count: ~7.7K
Warning: kind of but not really major character death, mild violence
Summary: A gorgeous demon slayer stepped into Nino’s woods with a mission, fascinating him to no end. Or, in which Nino was one of the mountain deities, Jun was a demon slayer, and despite all the odds they were soulmates.
Notes: For aeslis, this fantasy story with a capital F. I mashed up some soulmate tropes for your demon slayer/trickster god prompt. Inspiration came from KnY, The Matrix, and some popular Japanese urban legends. Many thanks to my beta and cheerleader and, most of all, to Nino mod. 💛

Title: a thing of cream and stars
Pairing/Focus: Matsumiya, unrequited Sakumoto and Ohmiya
Rating: T
Word count: ~14,000
Warnings: The premise of this fic is based off of attempted manipulation, so though it doesn’t really pan out if that’s not your thing this may be a bit uncomfortable to read.
Summary: Jun is in love with Nino’s best friend. Nino is in love with Jun’s best friend. In theory, this makes them perfect wingmen for each other. In reality, they’re having a harder time trying not to commit murder first.
Notes: ahhhh it’s here! the last ninoexchange....it’s fitting that it’s the longest complete fic i’ve ever written for any fandom. thank you to Inez, who I hope will be at least a little uplifted with this fic that grew to be kind of a monster. also thanks to my beta, who was kind enough to find time to listen to me sob about wrestling this beast down despite her own busy schedule.

Title: The moon tells us the truth
Pairing/Focus: Matsumiya
Rating: PG-13 I think for some mentions of violence and deaths (no major character death)
Word count: around 9700
Warnings: minor character deaths, mentions of blood, mentions of wounds, swords, daggers, battles (anything you can imagine happens on battles involving samurai)
Summary: Jun and Nino are meant to protect each other and fall in love with each other but traditions are traditions and which decisions hurt the most? Leaving loved ones behind or not doing all you can do to protect them?
Notes: Dear cutselvage, I hope you like it. I had fun writing it, I swore sometimes during it as well when I started to forget words. I took your prompts for historical AUs, magical realism and Matsumiya and this is what happened. I chose the Heian-period from which I tried to use as many information that I could find and that would benefit this story in any way. But this is still fictional (and I’m bad at doing research) so there might be a lot of inaccuracies for which I’m sorry. If you find the references of the rest of the boys I’ll be overly happy (to be fair, Sho will be an easy find ;))
There is also a dictionary for the Japanese words at the end for the story. So if you don’t know what something is the chance is high it’s explained at the end

Title: Marks Classified (The Ninomiya Chronicles)
Pairing/Focus: Ohno/Nino
Rating: PG Teens
Word count: around 15k words
Warnings: none, except for the lame superpower theme?
Summary: They were being monitored for a reason, and Nino, for one, didn’t plan to be executed for treason. But his best friend and roommate seemed hardly bothered, inviting strangers to their home when they both know he shouldn’t. Still, he trusted Aiba to know better.

This was his first mistake.

Notes: dearest ink_letters, allow me to say that I adore your writing so much that it honestly terrified me to find that I was assigned to write for you. That said, please forgive my lame attempt at putting your prompts to life, especially the Superpower/AU/soulmate one. I know that you asked for a dramatic story too, but this ain’t it. Also, I have kept in mind your preferred rating, thus the resulting weirdness. I am so sorry. I hope you like this at least. And to S, please know that your presence alone is enough. Thank you.

Title: Born Under a Crooked Star
Pairing: Ninomiya Kazunari/Ohno Satoshi (side Matsumoto Jun/Sakurai Sho)
Rating: T
Word Count: 26,214
Summary:
“I love you.” Nino says and Ohno chuckles.

“That’s the plan, right?”

It starts with the night of celebrating Aiba’s pet salon, which leads to the discovery of Ohno’s favorite pencil, Jun stealing Sho’s camouflage jacket, and Nino trying to stop his mother’s nagging by convincing her he’s dating Ohno, which somehow leads to him and Ohno dragging the charade as they enter a cooking competition. Winning the 700,000 yen was the only thing on Nino’s mind, but everything goes downhill when Ohno slowly starts making his way into his heart.

Notes:
Dear reveetoile, I hope you enjoy this fic. I was considering many different things with the prompts you gave, and I ended up going with the fake-dating one, just with little changes. Hope you like it! :)
One more thing, kiiro = yellow.
Enjoy reading!

Title: us, therefore (free of any eden)
Pairing/Focus: Aiba/Nino
Rating: PG-13
Word count: ~4,500
Warnings: None.
Summary: Nino writes bitter beginnings, and Aiba just wants him to have a happy ending.
Notes: Why have one Aimiya when you can have a variety pack! ...was what I told myself as I failed to overcome my crippling indecisiveness over what I wanted to write for you, my dear recipient. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this humble cheese platter of bff-ery :’) Also, huge love for my beta E for making time to give some much-needed insight and encouragement. Title is inspired by the poem “You, Therefore” by Reginald Shepherd.

Title: birds of a feather
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 7440
Pairings: Ohmiya, (implied) one-sided Sakumoto, general friendship
Summary: in which Nino is a kindergarten teacher by day, magical boy phantom thief by night, and Ohno is his archenemy. Really.
Notes: I’m pretty rusty on DN Angel, but I loved the phantom thief concept so I went more Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, because magical-boy!Nino is a great thought. Don’t think too hard about the lore, because the boys did not want to tell me what their deal was. Hope this makes you chuckle, dear receiver, and thanks to anupapaya for beta-ing so last-minute!
