This is my favorite chapter of Little of Your Time thus far. The third paragraph practically made my life; I had to pause and read it again just for it to slowly coalesce in my mind and percolate. I love this, I really do. I love how it's in Nino's POV and how Sho doesn't even seem to notice anything amiss (and oh god, Nino, Ohno and Sho watching porn in their hotel room- brain refuses to compute) and sad-eyed Ohno and I especially love Aiba here. You bring out more nuances in the Nino/Jun affair in this chapter and I adore you for it.

I keep saying this, but everytime I read something you write, I memory it and then leave it open in one of my tabs to stare at till I feel sufficiently ready to move on with my life. I love that.

I meant the fourth para, technically!

Thank you. ♥ I felt this chapter had to be written, and it seems so obvious in retrospect.

I am working on your birthday ficlet, also! :3 I should have it posted soon.

I love this. I love that Nino is so stubborn even though it hurts him, and he knows it. I love that Jun is just too damn careful to actually take chances anymore, because he's been burned before. I really loved the insight into Aiba meaning-it-but-not and not really knowing the difference.

Love you~♥

Ajdhd;jdk I'm really not good at writing Nino, but I felt that this worked out a little better than usual. Thank you, bb. ♥♥♥

*strips naked* (no, really, it's like 100 degrees in my room, but enough TMI) OMGHOT!

And just like that, set adrift in his mind, there and acknowledged, the thought began to spiral and it slowly became a feeling, a pattern of noticing and thinking and wanting that felt reckless and good and guilty in a way that filled him up and made him feel emptier than ever all at once.

This is the most wonderful description of falling in love (in the not quite happy way that I think it must be for Ohno or Nino or anyone in Arashi) I think I've ever read.

This fic... it might easily be one of my all time favorites. I don't how how you capture this...feeling! This out-of-control, desperate, neediness that still encompasses so much love between the five of them. How Nino and Jun have both been wanting Ohno and Aiba for so long. So desperately. Come so close and getting maybe just a little and having to live with, work with, face each other and that enduring love time and again

[waxrose]

:D I really do think that it's those conscious thoughts that propel feelings - once something is realized, you can't quite press it back down.

Arashi fics tend to be so...I don't want to say fairy-tale-ish, but there's always an air of fantastical ease at crossing boundaries that are essentially work-place grounded. And writers so often bypass the sticky fact that Arashi is five and any sort of involvement (even something emotionally one-sided) has a ripple effect.

I had a long discussion about this with someone a few weeks ago and for better or for worse, this fandom seems to thrive on just letting the boundaries collapse and creating a world where love is easy and understood. In some ways, I like that - I probably wouldn't be in this fandom if I didn't, because it's a sugary-neat version of reality that feels kind of whimsical and soft. But I think, having that frame of mind, it's nice to see some fics contrasting that, bringing out those points of tension and sharp edges.

...babbling, honestly. :/

I don't know how you plan on

I want my comment to be thought-out and useful because this just grabbed me *_________*

The way you wrote this is just utterly engaging. I love Nino's voice throughout this whole chapter because I feel like Nino had a lot of explaining to do like how he felt for Ohno and Jun and AibaJun and why it started. I am anticipating the next chapter so much now but do take your time ♥♥♥

He hasn't got an umbrella, and neither does Nino. It was brilliantly sunny when he left home this morning and he has, like all five of them, fallen into the bad habit of getting used to a profession where there's always someone else penciling in your calendar and arranging your lunches and giving you an umbrella when it starts to rain. - I love this paragraph.

[alexiela]

I fail at thought-out and useful but I just wanted to say how much I loved this ♥

[waxrose]

I hadn't planned this, but I did find that when I sat down to write the final chapter, I kept writing in bits or pieces of Nino's side of things and I finally felt that it would be better to just sort it all out. A-also helps in delaying the realization that I'm still not sure how to wrap this all up. :3

Thank you! ♥
