LOVE OR LIKE: AKAME!!!
AKAME LOVE POST!
Okay, so how may I articulate the ways I love this pairing? The angst, the crack, the beauty, and most importantly, the PORN? I don’t even know. It’s ninja-ed it’s way into my heart as a OTP pairing, and while this may frighten you as you all know how silly I get when I get overtly attached to people and pairings, it’s okay. Kame’s eyebrows will keep me sane.
At first, I was Pin all the way through; dorky boys and even dorkier BFF special handshakes, what wasn’t there to love? The fandom was shiny and sweet, and pinion-dom was all the rage, but the Akame back story! The drama! The angst! How could I resist myself? I love drama! I involve myself in every bit of crazy fandom drama if I can! And recently I’ve begun to like Kame a lot more! (It helps if you like both parts of the pairing, true true)
And one of the other reasons why I love Akame is thanks to Gokusen 2 (and why I love Kame too). The way I see Akame is always entwined with how they’re portrayed in Gokusen 2 (dumb and angsty, yes yes). True, they’re different people entirely, but Jin’s not that good of an actor, and Hayato sometimes is just so close to Jin that it’s hard to see different. And so, I began to read fic. A lot of it, and when that ran out (SO TRAGICALLY QUICKLY), I started on the Akame, and as you all see, look what’s happened. My heart has fallen. ♥
To show you that I really mean it, here’s some random recs. I would have more, but my organizational skills are pretty darn terrible.
-- Ever since reading winterspel's lovely, lovely Available Light and Driven (lajdklsadsa oh my god. HELLO CRYING LIKE A BABY AND HOT ANGRY SEX) wherein I then decided that it paid to read Akame occasionally, I'm been waiting for an Akame fic to blow me away. One that expressed the enormity and complexity of their relationship, one that bridged the whole gap between Before America!Jin and the consequences of After America!Jin. And this, by bumped does all of that and beyond. THIS is the Kame I've always wanted to read. I've never hated Kame but I've certainly had a few qualms about the way he tended to be written but this Kame is love ♥ This is how I picture him - and I can't even really say how I picture him, but this fic hits it right on the dot.
-- These two fics by neurochip are just - just really, really bizarre, but in that good way where it's written well. The first is a very strange fic about Jin as Kame's tooth, and I read on in some vaguely fascinated awe at the way she's taken a completely weird premise and made it work. The second is Kame/Cartmen, which usually would have made me run in the other direction had I not been gaining immunity to strange pairings THANKS TO A CERTAIN SOMEONE but I'm glad I read on. Yes - it's crack, but it's a very real story about Kame and Cartmen being friends and Kame's issues with JE. Despite the crack pairing, it's a very lovely story, amusing and sweet (or as sweet as Cartmen can be at any rate). This isn’t Akame, but I figured I’d rec the same author together.
(and yes, this is one of the few times that I read on despite the fic banners)
-- Oh. Look. This - this, oh. Isn’t this by soundczech lovely? Kame and Jin with a baby. I - I oh god. YES. mousapelli made baby fic cool and hilarious and (ajdsksadsa! GACKT-CHAN!) but this? This is sweet, and it’s gorgeously poignant without being silly and isn’t the way the scenes just flow on from each other just so perfect? Kame suddenly arrives with a baby (and oh, how he got it, I won’t spoil it but I literally went, oh Kame) and Jin plays at being daddy. All the cameos are great, the Jin and Yamapi scenes of Total Retardation hilariously dumb and Akio the baby is the cutest thing ever. GOD, THIS IS THE REASON WHY I LIKE AKAME SO MUCH. ♥
-- PIKACHU JIN by tokyostory. THERE IS PIKACHU JIN AND YOU EXPECT ME TO BE ABLE TO RESIST? I love the part with all the KAT-TUN interaction because it’s so fun and silly and there are giant red lobsters involved. The descriptions are just so unexpectedly wonderful and the porn is really hot and the ending line, oh my god. XD Some of the characterization isn’t how I see them, but I can be convinced about anything, if it’s well written. IT’S ALL ABOUT SET UP.
And to celebrate my new found love, some Akame of my very own! :D

“This isn’t turning me on at all,” Kame says, groaning. He weakly rolls over on the bed to glare at Jin.
“I heard that abstinence improved sex life!” Jin says, pouting. His fangs glint when he grins. “You should be dying to screw me!” He waves a dildo at Kame enticingly, and it only takes Kame about four seconds to get annoyed at him before he snatches it out of Jin’s hand and flings it away with a muttered, “you didn’t even get the right size, it’s way too small. I said paint can, not paint brush.”
“We’re vampires,” he adds, fingering a sharp tooth. “That silly book was written for humans. Abstaining from blood is stupid.”
“Yamapi said it would be fun!”
“Yamapi also said that cereal and blood was a good combination too.”
“Well it was too,” Jin sulks. Then he brightens. “Then will -”
“Bring me back something to eat and we’ll see,” Kame considers, tapping a finger against his chin. “A little leathery and on the older side. Clint Eastwood would be really nice.”
“You and your tastes, Jin mumbles, wrinkling his nose. He debates refusing, but Jin hasn’t gotten any for far too long and his cock will probably explode soon. So he says instead, “Yes Kazuya-sama,” and goes off to fetch Kame cheap imitations of the amazingly weathered Clint Eastwood, because Clint Eastwood only allows Ninomiya and Yuto to dine on him (Kame knew he should have auditioned for a part in Clint Eastwood’s movie, Dirty Inside My Pants: The Long And Hard Journey Down South).

When Kame slides into bed after a long day at work, he's slightly surprised to find someone already there, but grins a little when he realises that it's Jin (only Jin snores that loudly). Eyes still closed in exhaustion; he snuggles in beside the warm body and sighs.
"Hey," he says quietly, breath warm on Jin's lips.
Jin squirms around restlessly.
Mmm," Kame hums into Jin's mouth, hand gripping his shoulder. He tilts his head to a side, curving his mouth over Jin's.
Jin shivers. He makes a weird noise, and kisses back, his skin strangely clammy against Kame's palm. Kame pulls back, a little concerned.
"Are you sick?" he murmurs, "You're awfully cold." He opens his eyes lazily to regard Jin and pauses.
Then screams.
Jin burps, eyes wide. He waves around a tentacle.

"Touch my rear end Jin," Kame says seductively. He slides in beside Jin, almost close enough to touch.
"I can't," Jin says mournfully. "I was forbidden. My owner says I've touched too many fenders. He's going to sell me off."
"No he won't," Kame says reassuringly. "Yamashita loves you. He polishes you every weekend and changes your oil all the time. He'll never get rid of you."
"But he was so angry," Jin says fearfully. "My owner's boyfriend yelled at him a lot, too."
"Nishikido just doesn't get enough love and care because Yamashita loves you so much," Kame says. His side mirror scrapes gently against Jin's, and Jin's engine sputters in arousal. Yes. Kame had him. "It'll be okay."
“Are you sure?”
"Bring it on, tiger," he hisses in a low voice. He revs up his engine. Flashes his head lights seductively.
Jin wails in despair.
"Stop it Kame!" he cries, leaking oil from his underside. He beeps angrily at Kame. "You're so insensitive! I'm a Falcon!"
