Jpop Fanfiction is listed here. I primarily write KAT-TUN with various other JE boybands involved.
Note: Some fics may be friend-locked. If they are, and you want to read them, please just comment
at the masterpost here and I will friend you so you can read them. While friending me first is appreciated, it is not necessary. I will not friend you back without a comment due to the fact that I do post original fic and works of progress under a friends lock. If you are only interested in my fanfiction and completed work, then you do not need me to friend you back. Works in progress are usually friends-locked because I will continuously edit the work. Anything under a friends-lock will not be cross-posted outside of this journal, so you will never be linked to a friends-locked post.
Fic List: (Updated: February 18, 2013)
I have written several pieces that I call "masterworks." They are pieces that I consider a reflection of the highest level of writing I was capable of at that time, be it in terms of plot content of stylistics. These are marked with an asterisk.

Chaptered:

JE AU Meme, it's since spawned remixes and off-shoots.
The following stories are listed in suggested-reading order
The Choices We Make // AU/General // PG-13 // Junno is a hitman. Nakamaru is an undercover cop. (Nakamaru/Taguchi centric, with the rest of KAT-TUN and mentions of NewS); Originally written for the

--
UCSD!AU // Various genres // (KAT-TUN centric, with mentions of NewS, Arashi, Kinki Kids; non-explicit mentions of SMAP [try to find them, I dare you]; and Kanjani8, Hey!Say!JUMP!, and Tacky & Tsubasa in my head.) // Originally a one-shot derived from late night musings about what would happen if KAT-TUN were Chemistry majors which then turned into what would be true if they were chemistry majors in UCSD which then resulted in the rest of JE jumping on the bandwagon. Probably one of my more favorite universes to muddle around with, because I get to talk about chemistry.
(The following stories are listed in suggested reading order)
Five things that would be true if KAT-TUN were Chemistry Majors // Gen // PG-13 // Taguchi smiles so his eyes curve into crescents and asks in a whisper loud enough for the professor in the front to hear, “In LA, did you do it on a table periodically?”
Admit Day // Gen // PG // KAT-TUN plays with dangerous chemicals tries to persuade new admits to attend their school.
Don't: // Gen // PG-13 // Akanishi smiles, a madman’s smile. “It scares you too, doesn’t it? Everything will kill you.... Some things just kill you faster.” Slice-of-life one-shot regarding organic chemistry labs and safety.
The Progression of Familiarity // Gen (PiKame) // G/PG // Kazuya and Tomohisa had been in the same middle school years ago; Kazuya had been prone to overworking even then, and Tomohisa would sit with him and they would study middle school chemistry and physics and biology together, talking about how nervous they are about clicking strikers.
Joker in the Hood // Crack // G // Kame, Koki, and Ueda talk in the five minutes between entering 6BL lab and actually starting to do your work.
Too Late // General / (UCSD!AU AU) // PG-13 // Maybe he'll change his major, drop the pre-med, drop the minor, graduate in five years, let his GPA plummet and watch med-school slip out of his grasp. (Kame/Yamapi-centric, mentions of Akanishi Jin. Read warnings before the story)

The Question of Nobuta [Complete] // AU; Dystopia // PG-13/R // See each chapter for individual warnings // “There's supposed to be a rogue program or something,” Ueda explained. He could hear Junno's voice in his ear whispering, NOBUTA; the program's name is NOBUTA. (KAT-TUN centric, mentions of NewS, Arashi, and Hey! Say! JUMP!)
Pre-reading notes Week 1: NOBUTA // Kamenashi and Yamashita weren't friends, just strangers who occasionally drugged themselves out of their brains together. Kamenashi would watch Yamashita take his dose, keeping a careful wary eye on the older man as eyes rolled back and fingers spasmed and his entire body relaxed into lax comfort.
Week 2: Kouji // “Nii-san, it's me! How can you not recognize your own brother?” / Kame pulled up the ID again. “Kiritani Kouji-kun,” he read off the data scrolling along his eyes. Hair color, eye color, height weight. Nothing to connect the boy to Kamenashi Kazuya. He frowned at the boy. “Who am I then?” / Kouji smiled. “Is this a trick or something? Shouldn't you know your own name, Nii-san? You're Kiritani Shuji, of course.”
Week 3: Mariko // “Avatar Uehara Mariko was wandering around sever 520 today. She obstructed vital Maintenance investigation. Regarding NOBUTA.”
Week 4: Nobuko // “Hey,” Kouji said, reaching forward and poking Kame on the arm. “That friend if yours. Is her name NOBUTA?” // Kame put the coffee down. It clanked against the wooden table loudly, the liquid sloshing violently. “Don’t call her Nobuta.”
Week 5: Shuji to Akira // “I am Akira,” Yamapi confirmed. “Just like you are Shuji. You can't produce NOBUTA without people to define her.”
Post-Completion Meta // The Question of Nobuta wasn't supposed to have a plot
Side-Stories:
Virtual Reality // AU; Dystopia // PG-13 // “What do you know about the Ariake swindlings?” Ninomiya, faced with an oppressive Management, begins his form of rebellion. (Arashi, implied Matsumiya) // Originally written for

Music of the Spheres Music of the Spheres is a study on the Original (Female) Character Genre in J&A fandom written by
reiicharu and
virdant. Each story is told from a separate person's point of view, and reflects a different concept. Music of the Spheres is R-rated at most, but in general is PG-13. Consult each story for individual warnings.
BrightSTAR by
reiicharu Yamapi nearly runs someone over with his car. Fate decides to laugh at him.
Twinkle Twinkle by
virdant “You shouldn’t give out your number to strangers when you’re actually an idol, Taguchi-kun. It’s like Schrodinger's cat. You don’t know if bad stuff or good stuff will happen until it happens.”
