Well, I have this TINY Yoko-Ohkura-but-not-quite drabbliest drabble fic that I posted on my personal blog a couple years ago, but which I haven't made public outside of that ^^;
But yeah, this is my first official K8 fic XD

Thanks so much for the compliment, glad you enjoyed the fic, angsty though it was.
I've never even seen a Mac/Arsenal around before tbh (though I really enjoy YokoBaru in all forms, platonic or not, cos of their real life BFF bond :D), so I was glad to contribute this fic to the fandom hehe

I actually have another - even longer - K8 fic in the works, which I began for my cousin ... involving Ryo and Ohkura shipwrecked and going nuts uh-oh XD Hoping to get that out sometime in the foreseeable future lol

I'm sorry it took me this long to read (busy period) but it was SO worth it... this fic is brilliant *_*
Well, I deeply love Uppers AU, that goes unsaid but what I loved even more is the way this fic is written: its angst and dramatic tension (+ UST till the very end!) is very very very welcomed, so well done I'm... franckly speechless! I adored this!
Was this really your first fanfic?! You seriously need to write MORE, you know?
I'd be delighted to read more, and I don't think I'm the only one!
Anyway, going back to the story, here my highlights / quotes:

twist in what can barely be called a smile, making him look almost inhuman in that moment.
wow. great. perfect to describe Mac's inner world.

a curiosity and desire for comfort and intimacy from someone trusted beyond all boundaries
oh dear lord this was <3 <3

Their proximity growing closer was soooo well written, I appreciated all those little flow of consciousness of Arsenal's ^O^
The eightrangers hint was loved, as well, LOL.
