ps: idk why you picked horseshoe, but-- I am obsessed with a certain horseshoe jewelry that some Johnny's use (it also has the diamond-like gems all over it and all) and it certainly makes this fic a little bit more dear to me than it already is. :') pps: ALSO the mention of other Johnny's here and there is A++++. AND GUSSAN GIVING JUN A CELLAR LOL
I pretty much gave you my hcs for this story so this is just to say that I'm truly relieved that you liked this despite the difficult time you must've had for reading something so long!
I'm also pleased to know that Sho's tattoo wasn't something that made you go ??? lol. I knew I was taking a risk with him having one (or two ;D) because not all people find body art appealing even if it's a little symbolic to this story.
I knew that Nino is your fave (twitter reveals a lot of things!) so I'm really happy my Nino made you emotional. I wanted him to be the voice of reason in Jun's life since Jun here is quite inexperienced and impatient (aka my excuse for all the things that happened to him in this story). I felt like Jun needed someone to guide him, so WHY NOT NINO, RIGHT?
The horseshoe-shaped necklace is a complete rip-off from this event lol. It was merely coincidence that it happened to be the same shape of jewelry some J&A boys use, but what a fun coincidence it turned out to be. :D
( ... )
Jun was the legit star of this story; this wouldn’t have worked without him. I think he’s also responsible for the length of the thing.
Honestly, I wanted people to find the idea of tattooed!Sho hot (because my inspo was his back shot from his Anan) and also Sho in yukatas (had to watch a lot of videos of him wearing one so I thought 'I got to add this in, got to let people know what I endured for the sake of ~research~' LOL) so to know that they have that effect on a Sho girl really makes me happy.
Hah the anatomical terms plus the poisons, those were my med side kicking in (thank god I’m a pharmacist lmao; I didn’t have to look up the mechanisms of the toxins I chucked in) so there’s not a lot of research there. The research was mostly on the literary references since I knew nothing about them. :D
Thank you for this comment! I’m glad this was an engaging read for you. It’s a long fic, so I kind of doubted people would find the time to read it.
To me, SJ didn’t mind the Ohmiya because they were like “we’re doing it too, so what’s the harm?” :D I know I tossed them all in a world that’s a bit dark, but I didn’t want to portray them as needlessly cruel.
HAHA your fave has to make amends after the nope movie, so he has to suffer, just as I will definitely suffer come 2017. Once Narratage hits the theaters, I’ll go back to the time I was working on this and think ‘hey do you remember when Jun went through hell in a 9-part fic? GOOD TIMES, how about we do it again?’
We all hated that bonsai when TBS chose to air Jun’s ~passion~ for it instead of the Johnny’s World talk. But then again, he loves the damn things so I gave a nod to it. I’m glad it turned to be one of your faves! :D
Thanks for reading and for sharing the feels with your dorito fave!
Oh gosh, you had me in tear and in fear for the last few chapters. If it's not for the opening chapter that promises Jun and Sho would DEFINITELY meet again, my heart would probably give before I can reach the ending. I kept thinking 'Poor Jun!' And how miserable he must have been. Seriously, you made him gone through hell several times. And I felt so very sorry for him. >_< I know Sho wanted to keep him safe and all... But leaving Jun like that. Bad Bad Sho
( ... )
Oh wow, you read this in one go? That's called endurance, I believe! I'm honored that you found this to be an engaging read.
I haven’t written angst for SJ in a while, so I thought I’d make this as reasonably angsty as possible. At least, I believe it was reasonable? ;)
I’m happy to know that the Matsumiya worked. :D It’s one of my fave aspects in this story, the Kaze trio relationship and how Jun values both Nino and Aiba. I do wish I elaborated more on Sho and Ohno (and the implied Ohmiya), but that’s the limitation of a fic in Jun’s POV, I guess. Or maybe there’s a way I could’ve done that and I just haven’t figured it out? I do have a bunch of headcanons regarding the stuff I wasn't able to include (aka the stuff that happened behind the scenes).
Thank you for reading! I won’t apologize for making you emotional (that was the goal lol), so thanks a lot for giving this long story a shot!
Well damn, sis! I would watch the HELL out of this movie and/or drama and/or miniseries and/or sock puppet show. I've been reading this on and off the last several days - working on an exchange fic of my own and then coming back here to read another installment as a reward for finishing a scene in my own story. Really, this was a treat and a really great reward. I'm so happy this is here forever
( ... )
I think you listed majority of my faves (I'm sorry for the narcissism!) save for the hj in the water LOL. But I'm all :D!!! to see that Matsumoto "feelings" Jun tops your list-this wouldn't be possible if he's not the way he is. ;) This fic was me thinking Jun needs to make amends after the nope movie, so he has to suffer, just as I will suffer come 2017. I think it's fair that he went through so much. I'm only sorry that I had to involve Aiba in the process! Tbh, the spoiler alert re: injury was mainly for Aiba.
So glad that Sho in yukatas affects Sho girls in general. Originally, I was going to have Sho keep his navel piercing but I scrapped it because he'd be too hot and I'd be so affected (kind of like, 'how can I make Jun act all tough when the love interest is hot like Mexico?').
Also happy to know that my trashiest moment in this (aka the Jun tattoo) is something I can get away with lol.
