I've owed aeslis this next installment of the Just Like Verse since, like, last October, I think. Oops! I started writing a part of the epic saga that I didn't realize until too late had not been fully fleshed-out in my mental plans for it, yet.

Scenes from a Decreasingly Professional Relationship is a series of vignettes, Aiba/Jun established relationship, explicit, 2506 words. Falls after Like Flying but before Just One of the Boys.

I promised aeslis a ficlet, but this longer-than-ficlet came out instead. It belongs to the Just Like Verse in the following spot:

1.Just Like All Those Girls
2.Happy Birthday To Me
3.Like Flying
4.Just One of the Boys

Like Flying
Arashi RPS, Matsujun/Aiba
≈7800 words
sexually explicit
In which Jun and Aiba go on a surfing vacation together.

It really has nothing to do with the way they've been making out every chance they can get when no one's looking (which is not very often) and the way that Aiba slept over at Jun's apartment two nights in a row last week and certainly not with the way Jun blows Aiba in the restroom after filming, although that is the most turned on Aiba has possibly been in his life and he had no idea he would get off on maybe being caught. No, the blowjob was nice, but the whole vacation thing was settled beforehand in the greenroom, and it just kind of happened that way.

Like Flying

I'm going to try to make an exhaustive list of my OTPs (which I define as 'important ships which I read/ship', because occasionally I have two that overlap even if in general I refuse to break OTP and read the characters involved with anyone else). If I forget any of them, and you manage to remind me, I lose! And then, uh, I don't know, this seems like it should result in a drabble promise. I suck at short things, and I probably won't forget any anyway (I am forbidden from checking my recs page/delicious/tags/wip folders/etc!), but... what the hell. Drabbles, okay, drabbles of any pairing that I forgot.

( I made this list without cheating! )

just one of the boys (≈2900 words)
arashi rps
jun & sho friendship; matsumoto jun/aiba masaki implied (and background ohmiya)
sequel to just like all those girls. both of these stories belong to a very big universe and a long story that has lots of pieces missing from it, still.

( just one of the boys )

Because there is surprisingly little groupslutfic about Arashi, for a group of five guys who are constantly all over each other, collectively and in basically any sub-combination. Where's the love?

Arashi RPS: Ohno Satoshi/Ninomiya Kazunari; Sakurai Sho/Aiba Masaki implied, groupslutfic implied (ie: Ohno Satoshi/Ninomiya Kazunari/Sakurai Sho/Aiba Masaki/Matsumoto Jun)

It's creepy to go seek out a popstar's parents in their place of work and take pictures of them to post on the internet, Y/N?

I kind of want to comment and smack her, because communities should be self-policing, right? But on the other hand, that's kind of pompous, and I don't think I want to be that guy, especially in one of these communities filled with squeeing, barely-English-speaking teenies.

i wondered why the last couple of days i have felt like i never truly woke up all the way - slightly under the weather and slightly groggy, like the inside of my brain was a little fogged over between the synapses. i realised, eventually (through the fog) that i am not sick but simply recovering from our holiday dose of family togetherness, which was delightful, but stressful to an introvert like me. i don't like much in the way of excitement, and i always need a proportional amount of time insulated from the world at home in my armchair, with blankets and hooked up to lj and aim and a steady supply of fanfiction. the family togetherness was of extra intensity and duration and the anxiety on this trip was especially high, so the recovery is taking longer. at this point it lacks only a certain quantity of mindless tv consumption (where to start?).

wax and i gave mece (my elder brother-outlaw, and the father of carmela) a boardgame called SAMURAI, because he is quite into samurai movies and samurai swords and things like that. well, he and his wife are into board games, and last night i went over to try it out with them.

something you have to understand about me is that i am horrible at strategising. i hate it, but i'm also naturally bad at it. as soon as a game flirts with the idea of involving strategy, i lose at it, even if i have not in fact started playing it yet. (i like board games, but i prefer fast-paced and light-hearted ones usually, and ones which depend more on skill or random chance. i adore pictionary because i'm good at it, and am also very fond of sorry, a revenant of high school pe classes.)

SAMURAI involves a lot of strategy. it is an EVIL game. it's like the twisted offspring of the time go and chess got really drunk and intimate in a dark alley, and then ran into risk on the way up to the hotel room and invited it in on their night of debauchery. and it is somehow more obnoxious than go or chess or risk, although on the plus side it's played on a map of japan and involves wee buddha figures and also mini japanese folding screens for each player. enough strategy was involved to make my head hurt a little and also to let everyone get bored while the others thought over their moves.

and now for something completely different... arashi daily occasionally.

aeslis: oh man! aiba straddling--well i'd imagine someone else.
cim: i got a cap, don't worry. XD
aeslis: *imagines that's Jun there*.
( and after that the conversation verged a little bit on the porny )

"hey, why is everyone else rowing, but ohno's hiding behind his boyfriend at the end of the boat?"
"let them snuggle for a while. he'll get his turn to row and also to make hideous grimaces of reluctance and exhaustion later!"

the problem with watching arashi only irregularly, besides the markedly decreasing levels of crack and sparkly gayness in my life, is that ohmiya don't actually cuddle in every episode so i start running short on ohmiya-specific caps.

this isn't actually the original cap which elfiepike first described to me as Shotgun Wedding (obviously, sho officiates.), but it's the same scene and it also involves snuggling and hand-holding. in a field. in unattractive sweaters. oh shotgun wedding! how you remain one of my favourite crack aus despite the proliferation of such wonders as sheikhs, transformed kittens, slaves, bakeries, kinky sex, slash bnfs, wingfic, peach farmers, and evil geniuses. ♥
