The Ninomiya Exchange

For: gurajiorasu
From: sky_fish7

Title: Getting Along
Pairing/Focus: Sakumiya, other Nino-sidepairings hinted (Aimiya, Ryo x Nino), Arashi-friendship
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Angst, depri, fluff, alcohol..., some points of Arashi-history mentioned (freely interpreted)
Summary: Getting along well with the group members is a good thing, Nino thinks. But he underestimates the power of the media which can turn a seemingly positive headline into something triggering. When Sho finally snaps, it’s a huge shock for Nino and changes things between them to the worse. Between the members of Arashi but also between the two of them specifically. Will they be able to overcome the crisis?
Notes: First, I wanted to write something humorous… but then it became something surprisingly serious. I guess, I just can’t get out of my skin, I have the tendency to make stories complicated lately. gurajiorasu, I fear that I wasn’t able to portray the concrete type of Nino that you wished for, but I gave my best to this story and I still hope that you will like what I created.
Thanks for the challenge to my recipient, thanks to my mental supporter during the writing process as well as to my dear beta readers and of course thanks to nino_mod for organizing this wonderful event once again! *bows*

Part 2

For: ltgmars
From: satsumatsu

Title: red string - against fate, with benefits
Pairing: (Main) Ninomiya Kazunari/Matsumoto Jun; (Side) Nino/Shokotan, Nino/Aiba, Nino/Ohno, Nino/Ryo; (Mentioned) Nino/Keiko, Nino/Ohkura, Nino/Maru, Nino/Sho
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: none
Summary: Off red strings, soul mates and matchmaker Nino, who runs from his own fated one.
Notes: Dear ltgmars, what more can I say but: I tried to include as much as I could? After reading some incredibly cheesy shounen-ai manga about a boy seeing red strings of fate and your prompt of Nino discovering a strange power I just had to combine these two. And after that I picked several others of your prompts but... I hope it didn't turn out too... I dunno, crowded? LOL I also hope you enjoy reading it, all betaed (Thank you, S-san!).
