Aiba is a curious merboy. And yes, he strikes a faustian bargain to meet a human prince on land.
I know I should actually post all of this at once when I do finish it, especially at this juncture, but I did want to do a chaptered fic. Here are the third

So happy you updated this fic, I love so much Aiba here and how you write how the things that are so known for us are so new for him, and the scene of the kiss with Aiba so frustrated 'caus he cant tell Sho about his feelings is so heart touching. I feel bad for Nino because I also love so much Aimiya and he is so sweet in this fic.
Thank you for sharing, keep up the great work, I love your style.
BTW I would like so hard to read more of the porn star AU, it's really awesome, and Jun and Aiba (my OTP, lol)had something going on.
Good luck for tomorrow!

Thanks for the thoughtful comment, I appreciate it loads!

And ah I did mean to continue that, I should think about what happens next.

Yay, thanks for the well wishes!

I only just started reading Merboys, and I'm still afraid to continue because I don't want an Aimiya ending, but I like it so far. A lot. <3

(And the Sakumoto - ♥!)

Thank you for reading even through your trepidation!♡♡

Oh, you like Shojun too?

[phrenk]

You know I love merboys! I LOVE MERBOYS. And this is a lovely installment (x2.) I am afraid but still happy because it's so pretty. ♥

[myjulien]

Yay, your love means a lot to me, especially because it's not a particularly happy fic. Thank you!

OH, I'm excited to see the rest of the mermaid story! I felt so bad for Nino, so I was hoping that Aiba would come back to him. I like the feel of Sho, like we don't know that much about him, but just enough that we can read his personality and how he fits into the story. I hope everything turns out well for them.

Good luck! (Although I'm late now...)

Your comments are always so introspective! And I'm really flattered you read my fic too since I am always in awe of how you can write so many details? I've been saving your finished multi-chapters but I really should just get around to them soon!

Thanks for the luck! It helped.

I should really ask this in your fic comm instead since I almost always have it open in a tab but which are your favourite pairings to write/read?

[boblemon]

I only write introspective comments when there's something to be introspective about. ^.^ And about my writing... I'm so happy you read it. I'm always honored to heard other writers compliment me, especially good ones like you. Sometimes I think that details are my weakness because it makes the story so long and sometimes they just don't matter...I've been making a conscious effort to cut some of them out recently, but I don't think anything really changed... =A

No it's interesting. I love that you write Ohno so much. I adore your Ohnoai fic, they're always so natural? There's too little of them in fic and they work so wonderfully together! I find Ohno difficult to pin down in fic, myself. Your beta is yarukizero, right?

I read all Arashi pairings but my favourite pairing is Nino/Aiba, closely followed by Sho/Aiba then Ohno/Aiba and Jun/Aiba.

... I'm sure you can see the pattern. I also enjoy Jun/Ohno and Yama pair.

What about the dynamics of Sho/Nino do you like?

klakdlhf;lksjalkghsdlakfj HIII I didn't even realies how much I missed this fic (series) until I read the previous two chapters and these this morning. SERIOUSLY. I love how prettily you've written this 'verse, how evident it is that you love Aiba and you make us love him too, from the way you describe him and characterise him. And everyone else, too - Ohno in the previous sections was a lovely take on the sea-witch, and Nino kind of broke my heart a little bit at many points in the story. I'm torn between how I want it to end, though - I love that something between Aiba and Sho (THAT PART ABOUT THE SHARK WAS BEAUTIFUL), and I'm just keen to know how this will be resolved.

♥♥♥ I'm glad you're posting these in chapters because that just increases the delightfulness. I look forward to more!

[myjulien]

This is a singularly stunning comment. I am so glad you exist and are in my life. /heartfelt/

And ooh I'm a bit embarrassed you picked up on how much I love Aiba because honestly I really wonder if I'm making him too idealised? I have problems with my characterisation of him all the time and honestly, sometimes I think this au is kind of... obelised because it doesn't even seem like they're Arashi anymore, unlike in your own aus. mirareru wakaru deshou?

Bloody hell a typo. /indignant/
