arashi fiction 71 - August Ficlets Batch #2

[nicefinalbeam]

As mentioned before, I am doing a series of ficlets in August. I'm writing one per day based on prompts given to me by tangiblewhimsy (who is doing her own series of drabbles-a-day that I gave her on DW @ mainichi). I will post them in collections of 5. :)

#6: I still love the entire idea of Aiba having such a crucial and influential position. I love when he's given credit for his abilities and his strengths and this is definitely, definitely something I could see him doing. I'm still a little confused as to whether or not he was demonstrating or if he actually quit. Part of me wants to believe the latter because it makes Nino's cover-up/dismissal funnier. At least in my opinion. ^^

#7: I'm still sorry about the similarity in the "proper date" lines. Though in my defense the only thing really similar between the descriptions of the proper dates is the element of a restaurant. Even so, I should have paid better attention. ORZ All of that aside, I'm still in love with this entire universe. LOL I remember when I was with you in WV and I was sitting on your couch and started listing all of my favorite things you've written and it's always these wonderful AUs where everyone is just so natural. I love itttttttttt.

#8: I also love that Matsumoto Jun is a cure-all. I accept this.

#9: Still super interested in this. I want to know the mechanics of this connection, how it manifests, how it works, is it uncommon for most people or is this just a thing in the universe this happens in? Aiba seems like he's an explorer, new to the workings of how all of this... I'm going to call it "diving" works. (I apologize if you have your own term in mind, but every time I read this it just 'feels' like Aiba and Ohno 'diving' into other forms of awareness. Which probably makes no sense, I'm sorry.) I like how Aiba doesn't necessarily panic but he is definitely scared, and while we get that Aiba is saying he's not ready to die (ostensibly. I assume.) I'm not so sure what Ohno is saying he's not ready for. Not ready to let go? To say goodbye? To let Aiba move on? IS AIBA A GHOST? I doubt Aiba's a ghost, that doesn't seem your style. But he could be a ghost. o_o See, this is what this AU is doing to me! I love it. ♥

#10: I was going to write you a response via email like usual but you signed off so I figured I'd just leave my thoughts here. THIS. THIS IS ALSO FASCINATING. TIME TRAVEL? PLEASE YES. I LOVE TIME TRAVEL ROMANCES. Capslock aside, lkasdfjlkjasflkjsalfkjsdafk. Okay, incoherence and flail aside, I want to know so much more about this. Did future!Nino give himself the note? Is it an alternate dimensions thing? Alternate realities? I don't think you'd go this direction for obvious reasons, but maybe altered memories? *paws at fic* Tell me your secretssssssssssssssssssssss!

I can't wait to see what the hand-written drabble ended up being. These are all so good, I can't even... ;o;

(I think I will have a lot to say to this, so I am leaving a comment here and will remind myself to come back and say it! :D )

This is your reminder that you were going to say something to me. And also that you owe me comments at mainichi. :P
