Hi! Sorry for the delayed reply! :)

Anyway - I'm stoked that you picked Interesting Times to remix, because it's one of those fics that I kind of wrote impulsively, and it was interesting to see someone look at it from a different angle. I liked how you reversed the number ordering and gave us Nino's perspective on things. I really liked the filling in of the gaps in terms of how Nino felt about the change in the rest of the group, and the humorous references to SMAP, among other things! :) Also, this made me laugh out loud: "Girlfriend. Worse. Maybe wife. Child?! Drugs. Alcohol. Accident. Accident with wife and children on drugs."

The slightly darker take on their powers and Nino's reaction to it was intriguing, because you went in a direction that I had considered taking before the crack that was Ohno's power consumed everything else. And Nino breaking off from the group and becoming a villain was heartbreaking but such an interesting prospect.

I'm very glad to have read this remix!!! :) Thank you, anon! ♥♥♥

I'm so glad you've enjoyed it, seriously!

That question of 'How would it be, if things went a little wrong?' had been in my head since I read it for the first time, so I jumped at the chance of remixing it.

At first I didn't know what would Nino do, but then I realized that he wouldn't hate them and that he's an otaku, he knows the Rules of Shonen Manga.

ditto everything __sine said! i really enjoyed the darker side to this, and also the reasons you gave nino. it seems perfectly plausible that, to remain a part of arashi through this and keep his bond with them, nino would think that setting fires for them to put out would bring them closer. i liked that idea, though, and wish you could have expanded it! but i really liked what you did with the fic you were given. :D loved it!

I'm happy you liked it :) I really trust your opinion!

Nino's logic can be seriously twisted and still be believable.

wish you could have expanded it!

It's weird, but it never occurred me to do that. IDK, I think the keywords in my mind were 'START OF DARKNESS!'.
