Title: From Where I Had Left Off
Pairing/Focus: Sakumiya (Sho’s POV)
Rating: R (warnings: mental illness, hospitals/clinics)
Word Count: 10,000+
Summary: Sho is a “worn-out” salaryman who has nothing to look forward to in his boring life until he encounters a street performer named Nino at a park he often goes to. Following his psychologist’s advice, Sho takes a day off from work. He sees Nino again at the same place and, mustering all his courage, he asks Nino out.
Notes: Hi, Sky_Fish! Originally I was supposed to go the supernatural route but RL got in the way. So instead I went with your Work AU, which I hope you don’t mind. Special thanks to my beta-reader and also to the mods. Cheers.

Title: My Boss, My Weirdo
Pairing/Focus: Sakumiya, Sho x Kitagawa Keiko (?) Matsumiya (one-sided), Aimiya (BFFs)
Rating: PG-15
Wordcount: 75.500
Warnings: slight angst, drinking (mostly as coping mechanism), a psychosomatic condition, attempted fluff
Summary: After being separated for years, Sho and Nino get finally reunited. It could have been so perfect, but rather than being friends again, they now face each other as boss and private secretary, and on top of that, Sho doesn't even seem to remember their childhood friendship. Nino is smashed. Will they be able to find back to their old dynamics despite the obstacles?
Notes: Dear southview, this is for you, I hope you'll enjoy. Maybe, the story is not as fluffy as you wished for, in the beginning, but I tried to create a fluffy ending for you :) Also, I started watched a K-Drama to get inspired for this. What shall I say, I guess it worked (and I'll finish watching it because I like it!). Special thanks to my hard-working beta and of course, thank you to our lovely Ninomod for the never-ending patience.
(Additional notes at the end of the story.)

Pairing: NinoxSho, NinoxOhno (past)
Rating: R
Word count: ~5900
Warning: none
Summary: Nino was lost when he had to let Ohno go. Until he met Sho who was also another lost soul.  Could they find courage to reach out and accept happiness from each other?

Note: Dear waxrose, I was so excited to be assigned to you because I am such a big fan of your work. I have tried several things in hope to please you. However, I had such a tough time trying to write lately. I still hope that this story would please you in some way. To the dearest Nino mod, thank you so much for your patient and your understanding. I deeply appreciate it <3

Title: My Heart in Your Orbit
Pairing/Focus: Sakumiya (main), Junba (side)
Rating: PG-15
Word count: ~ 72.200
Warnings: silly humour, a bit of alcohol consumption, mentioned puking and one character has a cold at one point of the story

Summary: When two strangers crashing at Nino's place one night tell him they came from a far away galaxy to Planet Earth in order to find their missing prince, Nino thinks they are lunatics. When his flatmate invites them to stay at their apartment during their search and Nino even agrees, he starts questioning his own sanity. And if this wasn't enough, the more the two supposed aliens get involved into his life, the more Nino has to admit that he comes to like one of them...

Notes: Dear marmarci, I tried my best to fulfil as many of your prompts as I could and I really hope you like the outcome. This is my first attempt on writing something sci-fi-y. In these past few years I discovered how much I actually love this genre, however, I'm still quite a newby so please excuse that I didn't go too much into detail with the actual sci-fi stuff and focused rather on the slice-of-life-y side of things :) Big big thanks as always to my lovely betas for mental support and error detection, and of course to our dear mod for being kind, understanding and patient as always. Happy Nino-month, everybody!

Title: Celebrity Crush
Pairing/Focus: Aimiya, Matsumiya, Sakumiya
Rating: PG-15 – R for mild language
Warnings: mention of a minor character's death, maybe a little angst-ish
Summary: Ninomiya Kazunari - gossip journalist and paparazzo - is known and feared for sneaking into celebrities' private lives and uncover their dirty little secrets before they even notice. Sometimes, he does not even back off from using flirting or – should the occasion arise – more to reach his goals. One day, he takes up the challenge to expose the past of contemporary popular actor Sakurai Sho, who seems to hide his private life from the public. Will Nino be able to find something out?
Notes:
Dear pierrot, your assignment gave me the chance to try out some new things, which is always an interesting and fun challenge. I hope I managed to create something to your taste and that you like the outcome. Please enjoy!
Huge huge thanks to those awesome people who helped me brainstorming for the plot and betaed for me, especially for your endurance and for bearing with my insecurities without killing me, and of course to our dear ninomod for your patience with me!
Further, I added some more notes at the end of the story for those who are interested in some background information (although some things might be known already).

Warnings: Non-graphic violence, non-explicit kink
Summary: There's something about Nino that no one else knows, not even Jun. That's exactly how Nino likes it.
