I signed up for a number of big bangs (and reverse bangs) earlier this year! Links to my partners' pages and their art are also featured below, and I'll be sharing the official posts from the community sites. TITLE: like a broken record FANDOM: Daiya no Ace CHARACTERS: Miyuki/Sawamura, Miyuki/Sawamura/Chris, appearances from the rest of the Seidou ensemble and other familiar faces RATING: R SUMMARY: Miyuki Kazuya, of The Ultimate Rookies, wants nothing more than to work with legendary composer, Takigawa Chris Yuu. Problem is, no one's been able to pin the reclusive songwriter down in years. Not one to be deterred, however, Miyuki finally manages to pay him a personal visit – only to be greeted at the front door by a rude kid, who mysteriously calls his idol "shishou". (25,000+ words) WARNING/S: An almost alarming lack of baseball, run-on sentences, creeper!Miyuki, Eijun’s dirty mouth NOTES: This was written for Daiya no Bang, with art created by @hilaryfun. Chris stared at him, clearly, surprisingly taken aback before his mask of indifference smoothed back into place. He regarded Miyuki, continued to as he greeted Sawamura in the kitchen. Miyuki knew that Chris expected an explanation, demanded one, and was thankful that the kid wasn’t going to provide it. No, he was going to leave that up to Miyuki, let him take the lead. The kid stayed on his side of the room, acting like he was too busy preparing the ingredients for lunch to be pulled into the conversation. But Miyuki could tell he was curious, if his pointed gaze was any indication. STORY ON AO3 | LINK TO ART * TITLE: parallel lines FANDOM: Daiya no Ace CHARACTERS: Jun/Ryousuke, appearances from the Seidou ensemble RATING: PG-13 SUMMARY: In which Jun reflects on the Inashiro game, how he first met Ryousuke, and how his life changed from that moment on. (4,600+ words) WARNING/S: Spoilers from 01x63 and basically the end of the first season. Also, I used 01x50, OVA: Face, and Jun’s sidestory as references, though I did take quite a few liberties. And I apologize for Jun’s potty mouth. NOTES: This was written for Daiya no Bang: Reverse, inspired by the art and prompts of @hailing. It’s not just because Ryousuke has an aura about him, wears his sarcasm and easy-going grin like a shield. It’s not just because Jun’s gotten used to it, learned to navigate the fine line between a half-hearted joke and a pointed remark, not with the consistent way Ryousuke continues to surprise him. But it has plenty to do with the little things. Like how when they’re next to each other, standing inches apart, Jun imagines Ryousuke intentionally shifting his bag to his right, to match how Jun’s is on his left, creating a comforting space between them. A space either can cross, a magnetic tug – a permanent possibility. STORY ON AO3 | LINK TO ART * TITLE: send me the miles FANDOM: Daiya no Ace CHARACTERS: Miyuki/Sawamura, featuring Haruichi, Furuya, Raichi, Chris, and a few other familiar faces RATING: PG SUMMARY: Postcrossing AU. Sawamura regularly writes postcards to connect with new people around the world; Miyuki, on Chris’s recommendation, decides to try the Postcrossing site out and receives his first postcard from Sawamura. They develop a friendship through their correspondence, which eventually leads to seemingly unrequited romantic feelings. (8,100+ words) NOTES: This was written for the Misawa Reverse Bang, inspired by the art and prompts of @kanakotakaya-theshipper. “But it’s not like that,” Eijun shakes his head, closing his eyes. Begins sketching what he thinks Miyuki might look like, follows the hazy lines taking shape. They drift around in loops and strokes, before vanishing like smoke. Like a half-remembered dream, the wisp of an unfulfilled wish. Because he’s never asked. He’s never needed to; it’s always been part of the allure of exchanging postcards. And, in any case, Miyuki hasn’t asked either. It would be weird. STORY ON AO3 | LINK TO ART * TITLE: another step, closer FANDOM: Yuri!!! On Ice CHARACTERS: Viktor/Yuuri, Makkachin, appearances from other familiar faces RATING: PG-13 SUMMARY: Therapy Fluffies AU. In which Yuuri is recovering from a devastating loss, and Viktor with his therapy dog, Makkachin help pick up the pieces. (9,600+ words) WARNING/S: An almost alarming lack of competitive skating, run-ons, switching perspectives, dealings with depression, and Yuri’s potty mouth NOTES: This was written for the Viktuuri Reverse Bang, inspired by the art and prompts of @calico-cats. Viktor’s hand doesn’t connect, doesn’t get to him. Misses him by a thread. But he quickly shrugs that off as if it never happened, not one to be deterred. Takes a matching step forward, invading more of Yuuri’s personal space. And it is curious and dizzying all at once, he isn’t completely certain that he actually minds. There’s just something about the guy, something about Viktor, something genuine, something warm, something all-consuming. Something frightening, still.
