Conservatory!AU. “It is one of the great mysteries, actually” said Jun, “what Aiba does in the time when he’s supposed to be practising.

Nobody knows.”

jackie, nc-17, always a girl!nino/sho
If Riisa had a knack for anything, it was being annoying. She was 2 minutes younger and a billion times more irritating than Kazuko could ever dream of being.

So why she was on her sister's blind date with some accountant from freaking Yokohama was beyond her.

To the Drawing Board
coiled_iris, nc-17, jun/nino
Everyone knows that when Nino and Jun snipe at each other, they snipe with love. Aiba can't help but worry that sometimes they cross the line, which means, of course, they need his help. And who better to facilitate his ideas than Leader?

Traverse

just like a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle
satsumatsu, pg, jun/nino

25 Days (more or less) of an Election Campaign
yumenosete, pg-13, nino/jun
This was not supposed to be a love story. It started with a simple plotting on Nino’s side, and ended up being a large mess of an election campaign being caught up in the exchange of fires from the campaign managers more than their candidates; enveloped in political (and personal) candidate and non-candidate rumors, burglary, jealousy, friendship building, and more bickering (Student Council Election!AU).

alphie_damiek, pg-13, ohno/nino
Office!AU Starring Arashi with appearances by Kanjani8 and SMAP (and kudos if you can figure out the other group that snuck in). Nino’s got a million ways to get what he wants, but it’s not the same if he can’t do it himself.
Clockwork
augustfai, r, ohno/nino
There’s a clock on Ohno’s wall, right across from his bed. (Also in this one, Ohno is a machine, Nino doesn’t know the limits of his own body, and there are puppies and Aiba/Jun. Who’s on crack, now?)

The Still of the Night
vintage_belle, nc-17, ohno/nino
The world here is a mix of Arabian and Japanese living. There is no harem without an Arabian setting, but it seemed silly to take a bunch of Japanese boys and plop them into the desert, so when you notice the weird inconsistencies between building structure and living style, that’s why. And there is porn. In fact it is mostly porn.

On Nino’s birthday night, they screw things up. Who’s in love with who here?
Arashi Household series
terebi_ko, pg-13, fivesome
Basically it’s an AU story, a perfect world in my twisted mind, where Arashi lived under the same roof. The story won’t have timelines because I’m gonna be writing it oneshot style. As for their relationship, I think I’m gonna make it clear because I seem to be misleading some of the readers. So just to make it clear, THEY ARE NOT SIBLINGS. Let’s just say that in my perfect world, they are men of many love......and they’re being versatile with each other.
Graduation

It’s always more than once before it takes

The Spy Who Loved Me
astrangerenter, pg-13, ohno/toda erika
Most enter the agency with dreams of being in the field - the one being monitored rather than the one doing the monitoring. But Ohno's never been the most ambitious of spies. Because if he was out in the field, risking his life day in and day out, then he wouldn't get to monitor her.
Queen For A Day
astrangerenter, nc-17, kageyama/hosho reiko (Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato De)
Reiko had unknowingly dressed herself up as the object of Kageyama's disgusting fantasies. The cutout that she had tried so desperately for months to rid him of to no avail. And now here she was, Union Jack corset and all.

Gimmick Game
lildaisy06, nc-17, sho/meisa + nino/meisa, aiba/toda erika

A Promise to Return
astrangerenters, kanjiya shihori/aiba with side horikita maki/nino and kiritani mirei/jun
She knew that her parents found her odd, had been concerned about her for years now.

Something had happened, of course, but it wasn't what they thought.

If Riisa had a knack for anything, it was being annoying. She was 2 minutes younger and a billion times more irritating than Kazuko could ever dream of being. Oh sure, Kazuko loved her sister, more than anything, really. But being twins wasn't all sunshine and roses. So why she was on her sister's blind date with some accountant from freaking Yokohama was beyond her.

Everyone knows that when Nino and Jun snipe at each other, they snipe with love. Aiba can't help but worry that sometimes they cross the line, which means, of course, they need his help. And who better to facilitate his ideas than Leader?

25 Days (more or less) of an Election Campaign
yumenosete, pg-13, nino/jun
This was not supposed to be a love story. It started with a simple plotting on Nino’s side, and ended up being a large mess of an election campaign being caught up in the exchange of fires from the campaign managers more than their candidates; enveloped in political (and personal) candidate and non-candidate rumors, burglary, jealousy, friendship building, and more bickering (Student Council Election!AU).

Clockwork

The Still of the Night
vintage_belle, nc-17, ohno/nino
The world here is a mix of Arabian and Japanese living. There is no harem without an Arabian setting, but it seemed silly to take a bunch of Japanese boys and plop them into the desert, so when you notice the weird inconsistencies between building structure and living style, that’s why. And there is porn. In fact it is mostly porn.

On Nino’s birthday night, they screw things up. Who’s in love with who here?
Arashi Household series
terebi_ko, pg-13, fivesome
Basically it’s an AU story, a perfect world in my twisted mind, where Arashi lived under the same roof. The story won’t have timelines because I’m gonna be writing it oneshot style. As for their relationship, I think I’m gonna make it clear because I seem to be misleading some of the readers. So just to make it clear, THEY ARE NOT SIBLINGS. Let’s just say that in my perfect world, they are men of many love......and they’re being versatile with each other.

The Spy Who Loved Me

Most enter the agency with dreams of being in the field - the one being monitored rather than the one doing the monitoring. But Ohno's never been the most ambitious of spies. Because if he was out in the field, risking his life day in and day out, then he wouldn't get to monitor her.
