And Celebration (Still) Continues Part 3 of 3
Title: The First Snapshot - Finale
Pairing: Nino/Jun
Rating: PG
Word count: 2608
Summary: AU in which Nino, the street singer, falls for Jun, the photographer; a short version of their story. The last chapter of their stories.
Notes: 8 years later, almost to the dot! 🎉 🎉 Happy Nino’s month <3! I have so much Nino feels this year so I finally dug out my fic folder and found my rough draft word files. And, here I am now. To those who believe in me, who are still waiting even after all these years, I am not worthy and I hope this last chapter finally gives this story the ending it deserved.
I decided against slowburn-ing this because I wanted to be faithful and follow what my 2012 self wanted to write. She was constantly nervous, new in writing Arashi fanfics, and she deserved all the credit here. Goodness, I was so emo and dark back then, throwing some deep questions like ‘are you happy now’ or ‘what is it that you want in life’ out there hahaha; yeah, 2012 was that kind of year.
Few details I rediscovered, some I’ve totally forgotten about:
- The working title was (The First) Five Snapshots but I never had the courage and energy to fully attempt writing them all. The posted chapters only had two; this chapter finally completed it with the last three.
- My main idea notes were: FIVE SNAPSHOTS OF NINO AND HIS GUITAR. One around Omotesando Street, Two at the park when Jun found him. Three at the live house. Four, at dusk, when he serenaded Jun. Five, on the sliding door of a train. The second was not including guitar, but that’s done and at least there was Nino’s hand somewhere in the picture. The fourth didn’t include serenade, but let’s pretend it was there. ;)
- One of my original writing notes went like this: mygoddddd this is long and so existentialist I hate myself for writing this but perhaps not really what’s wrong with me XDDD asldkjfdklff why was I like that rly hahaha
- When I wrote this, Instagram or smartphone were not a thing yet, lol. Jun was a blog photographer and cam/com tech has so evolved so much since then. Some adjustments are made here despite them showing some unintended anachronisms.
- I was also reminded that I wrote this after Nino’s amazing Kokuritsu performance of Doko Demo Aru Uta; I failed to put this on the earlier chapters note but yeah, that one was pretty much what I had in mind for this.
It’s worth to mention that throughout the years I have received heartwarming and kind comments for this fic-most of them were shouting at me (with love ofc thank youuu) and encouraging me to revisit this universe. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed revisiting one of my earliest Matsumiya stories. This one has always been special. And, just to be crystal clear, this is the last chapter from this universe. :D
Final chapter here @ dw | First chapters are ① here and ② here. Or complete chapters @ AO3.
