Arashi (Japan fundraiser fic #3): Where the Heart Is 1/4?

[primroseshows]

Guys, HnA's new houseshare segment is great BUT it gave me QUITE a shock, because the help_japan prompt I'm filling now is about Arashi living in a house together. And even though the houseshare segment isn't too similar to the prompt, the core idea is. After some thought I decided, for motivation/sanity purposes (one week I might go, "wow, this segment

*squee* Poor Aiba-chan! But I know what's coming, so I don't feel too sorry for him. Plus, he got sex anyway. I'm so curious to see how each member moves in. Will it be one by one, or in one big group? Can't wait to read more!

[primroseshows]

All will be revealed soon! (Soon on a relative scale, unfortunately.) Yeah, don't feel bad for Aiba at all; he has clandestine motives but he's still a horny goofball. ;)

OH MAN OH MAN. SO EXCITED TO READ THIS. *bookmarked*

What is all this about house-sharing on HnA? Fjdl'sj man I need to catch up. I have everything downloaded from the past 3 weeks, but I haven't watched any of it.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh my heart.

Their current situation of hopping to and fro from each other's apartments is pretty much the celebrity equivalent of a nomadic-booty-call lifestyle

BEST LINE EVER. ♥

This is just delightful, and SUCH A TEASE. I want more!

It's a new segment that started last Thursday! Basically two members of Arashi have a guest in their "home" and talk and eat and stuff, just like any other segment. Initially I freaked, because I thought it would really mess up my plans for this fic, but it's not actually as "householdy" as all that. Still seems like a cool segment, though. I need subs T___T

More will be coming! Thanks bb! Glad you enjoyed it ♥

You already know how I feel about this fic.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for you!!!!

Oh my GOD, so APROPOS OF NOTHING, I'm going to rant about the ridiculousness of LJ's entry size limits here.

Of course I wanted to thank you for looking this over for me in the notes somewhere up on the top of this post, but because of the stupid 65,535 character limit LJ imposes, I LITERALLY COULD NOT. My character count was over the limit and I actually spent an hour and a half cutting things out here and there until I could finally post it properly. It was agonizing, but I didn't want to cut this part in half (UGHHH vom) so... the lesser of two evils, I guess. BUT NOW omg Massiel, it's the worst, I am noticing typos that I need to fix and even though I am DEFINITELY under the character limit, it won't let me go back and edit anything! WTF. Like, even if I keep the character count the SAME, I get this message saying "error, post too large." I can even change nothing, and for some reason it still won't let me click that "save entry" button. What is thissssss, I'm unreasonably angry. Those typos will haunt me, I know it

[lysanderpuck]

LJ WHAT THE FUCK. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I'M SORRY FOR YOUR TROUBLES.

And no, thank you, it's an honor. ♥♥

(willing to do the same for future parts/any future fic you may ever write, btw, lol. You are the most fun to work with. :3)

sorry to comment hop, but if you want an ao3 invite I think I have one? then no limits for chapters! (and people like me cough cough can download them to their ereaders)

crying omg what is this perfection? and what houseshare segment! i am so behind, it's terrible. anyway, i can't wait for more :) this is wonderful.

[primroseshows]

I was totally behind too, and I've never consistently watched HnA! But this segment was extreeeemely relevant to my interests so I went to find it! It's pretty cool! Still like an interview, but in a house setting? It's neat because the second level of the house set has five doors for each other the members, in their respective colours, like they're dorms or something. Mega cute!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :)

OH MY GOSHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So, I am always wary of OT5 fics because I just can't really picture it at times. BUT EEEEEEEEEEEEE, I SHOULDN'T HAVE DOUBTED. BECAUSE IT'S YOU! AND YOU WOULD MAKE IT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

I love how each pair gets their moment. I love how each of their personalities shine. YOU GOT THEM DOWN. I love how IT JUST FREAKING WORKS.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU MAKE IT REAL. I love how you are showing that it's not going to be easy. I love how you are showing that it's not all sunny smiles and rainbows. IT TAKES WORK.

AND AIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I ADORE HIM SO FREAKING MUCH. OH MY GOD. HEARTS IN MY EYES.

THIS IS WONDERFUL. AND YOU. YOU ARE AWESOME.

[primroseshows]

I think any RPF fic involves at least some suspension of belief, because it's all made-up, but yeah I TOTALLY TOTALLY know what you mean about not being able to picture OT5. It's such a rare form of relationship, right? It's hard to wrap your head around it. I've read a few OT5 fics and enjoyed them, but like you, I think, I'm not big on them, because there's always that element of "this is not that believable to me" that keeps me from 100% getting into it, you know what I mean? Anyway, I'm super lucky I got this prompt, actually, because I never thought I'd write OT5 in a million years, but now I have, and it's really fun, haha.

ANYWAY all this to say that your comment REALLY REALLY hit the spot. Alleviated so many of my fears, honestly. Thank you so so much!! (Also, you continue to be incredibly supportive of and flattering to me; I AM NOT GOING TO COMPLAIN but I don't deserve it!! You're the awesome one NO CONTEST. ♥)
