You write the best AU's!
When filling out application forms, he no longer put his occupation as idol. No
For some reason, this really hit me hard. It just made me think about all those juniors who actually do quit after awhile and find other jobs. I mean, being an idol is a legit job, but what if you weren't all that successful? I think you've keyed in on something a lot of people feel, which is amazing :D

This Koyama is so dark, it's unbelievable. It's great, but it's hard to read, because we're so used to him being happy ^^

I loved that Yassu and Ryo bumped into him while filming stuff. When Ryo screamed 'KOYAMA,' I could totally see that scene unfolding :D

I also love how you make KoyamaPi a real, adult, relationship. When I read your KoyamaPi, I don't think 'oh, this is just another fanfic pair,' I feel like you really convey the people in the relationship and not just the idol aspect.

'NEWS as a business mistake.' When you wrote that, I nearly cried. Knowing just how close they were to being disbanded, this really hits hard, and I hope I never hear those words come out of Johnny's mouth. I'm sure we can say that NEWS is secure now, but damn.

'Tomorrow, you won't want this. You won't want me. Not after what I'm going to do to you.' And so I said what I said. That I wanted us to stay like we were because we weren't broken. We weren't broken. NEWS wasn't broken.
Lovely! :D

because i'm so bad about replying to fic comments, here's me doing it after like MONTHS. but seriously, thank you for the comments in the first place. ♥

You are too kind. :) I'm glad you liked this and that the darkness was really conveyed, especially with Koyama. That was the original point of this fic, to explore the idea of a dark, not necessarily positive Koyama, so I'm glad that it worked.

I'm re-reading over this, and it's scary how some of these things could be true and could happen between members. I don't think I'm ready to read it all the way through again because of it.
Still, it's a brilliant story <3
