Name (please state if LJ, DW, or AO3): Yuuki_Nyanmaru on everything
E-mail: yuuki02.nyanmaru@gmail.com

Pairings I want to receive: Romantically: Sakuraiba, Matsumiya, Juntoshi. If none of these work, then even Yama and Sakumiya would be fine. Friendships: Aimiya, Sakumoto, Junba.
Pairings I DO NOT want to receive: Romantically: Ohmiya, Sakumoto, Junba. I also don’t particularly enjoy Aimiya, but if it’s something that happened in the past then that’s fine! Friendships: every Arashi-pairing as brotp is precious so feel free to write whichever you want, you don’t need to stick to the ones I stated before, even if those are my favs!
What I would like to read (prompts, kinks, genres, etc.): I prefer AUs over non-AUs. I enjoy angst if I have a happy ending ready to wait for me at the end, and especially if I have some fluffy moments to heal me while reading. I also like when a fic has a bit of humor/comedy in it, but I understand that it's not easy to do that, so if you can't, don't worry.

Here are some prompts as inspiration! You are free to not follow them or mix them up, or anything else! Don't feel pressured.
- Amnesia AU (1): A and B have dated in the past, but then broke up. Years later, they meet again but A doesn't seem to recognize B, who then finds out that the man had an accident where he had lost part of his memories. B still has feelings for A, and starts to court him again just like he did in the past without telling A about their story. What will happen when A finds out the truth?
- Amnesia AU (2): A and B are a couple (even married if you want). After an accident, A loses his memory. B can only accept the happening and try to help A as much as he can, even if he will have to keep a distance from him since for A he is a stranger. However, in every part of their house, there's always something that's connected to a memory of them, and A gradually starts to feel the connession between B and him. On his part, B tries everything he can to make A remember him and their story. Will A remember B? Will he fall in love all over again? Or will their relationship come to and end?
- Exes to lovers (1): A and B have been broken up for some years by now, but they find themselves together again because of a merger, so they'll have to work together until they'll reach the agreement for uniting the two companies (they could be the CEOs, or their assistants, or someone else).
- Exes to lovers (2): A is a wedding planner, so he is more than excited when his friend gives him the happy news that he'll get married soon (this could be a side Arashi-pairing or not, your choice!). However, when he starts to work on the wedding, he reunites with B, his ex, who is the best man of the groom (in case the side pairing is M/M)/ the bride's best friend (in case you go for F/M).
- Fake Dating, Rental Lovers AU (1): A is going to a family gathering and tired of his relatives trying to set him up with someone, he hires B, a rental lover, to play his boyfriend. It should have been an only one-night occasion, but unfortunately, A gets caught up in more family-related events and has no choice but to bring B along again. A and B bond pretty fast, but A knows better than falling for a rental lover. It's an impossible love... And yet, he falls.
- Fake Dating, Rental Lovers AU (2): A and B are the top rental lovers of their agency. Ironically, due to his brother's wedding and a two-weeks trip, A will have to hire a rental lover since he lied to his family about having a boyfriend. A won't settle for nothing but the best, so pulling some strings (since he is the best as well, and has a certain power within the agency), he manages to book B for the entire trip. What will happen when two rental lovers, experts in that field, end up together? And what if they turn out to be hopeless when it comes to their actual romance?
- Fake Dating, The Proposal AU. Listen, I love LOVE that movie, so anything that is inspired by that would be perfect for me. I will surely like it.
- Rivals to Lovers, Secret Agents AU (1): A and B are a team working on a certain case. Each of them wants to solve the case before the other one does, even if they’re a team. They fall in love while working on the mission.
- Enemies to Lovers, Secret Agents AU (2): A is a secret agent and B is a newcomer but with great talent. Unexpected turn of events, B is actually the enemy A has been searching all along and B has infiltrated the agency.
- Friends to lovers: A and B have been best friends since school days, but what they both don't know is that they had a mutual crush on each other for all these years. Thinking that it was unrequited, they didn't even try to act upon it and they went on with their separate love lives. However, they did make a promise that if they'll ever reach [age] as single men, then they would get married to each other. Now, that moment came, what will they do?
- Historical AU. I just love historical fics, but I understand how MASSIVE it can be, so feel totally free to skip this idea.
- Fantasy AU. Any kind really, but I especially enjoy stories where characters have powers (could be the four elements or even more than those) and/or they can use magic. What I would really like is a trope where A falls in love with B but their powers are like the opposite, so they *shouldn't* be together and their love is forbidden, or maybe they're enemies so that's why they can't be together. Also! If you're a fan of Harry Potter or the Wizarding World in general, I would love having an AU in that setting! They can be students at Hogwarts or have any other position in that world, you can go wild!
- Soulmates AU. No matter what type, I love them all. Just the thought of soulmates is enough to melt my heart.

I'm up for cross-overs too! As long as they're NOT the pairings I stated in my DNW, then feel free to try it out! You can contact me through the mods to ask me also.

Eventual NC17 scenes: I don't have any particular kink. I enjoy both sweet and slow love makings and passionate and rough ones. What's important to me is that the scene has a meaning inside the story, for example, if it has the evolution of their feelings or the crossing of a line (like in enemies to lovers). So, I prefer to read their feelings and their thoughts more than their actions. Plot over smut basically hahah. This implies that I'm totally fine not having any smut scene in my fic, I'm more interested in the feelings and development of the relationship!

What I would NOT like to read (triggers, kinks, genres, etc.): Violence, underage, gore, gender-swap, mpreg, PWP, smoke, drugs, excessive use of offensive language, horror, thriller, incest, no Arashi-stereotypes (like aiba as the idiot, jun as the diva, nino as the brat, etc...), Japanese words without reason (like 'ohayou' or 'oyasumi'. If the term has a translation, then please use that. Honorifcs are totally fine by the way!), rape, major character death, stockholm syndrome, misogyny. Please no references to aliens and/or UFOs (I know that Arashi love to talk about that, but I don't,,,,), death (it's alright though if it happened in the past and not throughout the story), cheating, bdsm dynamics, werewolves, ghosts. Non-con (so no arranged marriages please!). No huge age-gaps; the maximum I accept is 5 years. No 1st or 2nd person POV. No stereotypical top/bottom dynamics (the top is always horny, the bottom has to comply with whatever the top says, the top is possessive, the bottom is a crybaby, etc. Tbh I don't even like the idea that only one tops and one bottoms, switching is caring everyone!). No bashing of Ninomiya family.

Eventual NC17 scenes: BDSM, any form of play, orgies, ot5 or ot3. I won't write any smut scene if I don't think that it flows with the plot.

Pairings I want to write: Sakuraiba, Matsumiya, Juntoshi. Can even write Yama and Sakumiya if necessary.
Pairings I DO NOT want to write: Ohmiya, Sakumoto, Junba, Aimiya.
What I would like to write (genres, kinks, etc.): I write AUs most of the time, with angst and a happy ending. I like adding humor to my fics, and it's quite difficult for me to not do so, so if the receiver doesn't want it AT ALL it would be hard for me. I'm up for any side pairings as long as they're not the ones stated in my DNW.
What I would NOT like to write (genres, kinks, etc.): Everything I stated in my DNW to receive.

Preferred rating (written and received): Anything is fine.

Can you pinch-hit? Yes
Can you beta? Yes
Anything else you want to say? Let's have fun!
