| Title: Realism (Hamlet Done Haru-style) Rating: PG Fandom: Haru wo Daiteita (Embracing Love) Pairing: Kikuchi/Onozuka Characters: Katou, Kikuchi, Onozuka, Yoshizumi, Asano Word count: ~1,975 Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part. Should be obvious, but Hamlet dialogue was written by William Shakespeare, not me. ~_^ Summary: Katou's portrayal of Hamlet is perhaps a little too realistic. Author's note: I blame this fic all on ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) bronze_ribbons for feeding the plot bunny! ^_^ This was inspired by her drabble More Than Kin and Less Than Kind--I couldn't get the image of Katou and Kikuchi acting in Hamlet together out of my mind, and this is the result. I borrowed the director's name, Ninagawa, from the original drabble. (Please note--although Kikuchi and Onozuka are a couple in this fic, it is a stand-alone story and not part of my Kikuchi/Onozuka series that begins with Comeback.) If you're a bit rusty on your Shakespeare, you can find a summary of Hamlet here, and the dialogue for the complete final scene here. Follow the link to my journal... | |

| Title: Earning
Prompt: #11, Quick
Character: Yoshizumi
Rating: PG
Summary: Yoshizumi can't help comparing now with then.
Yoshizumi doesn't consider himself middle-aged just yet, but he can't help wondering what the hell is wrong with the younger actors in his current film. It's a contemporary thriller rather than a period drama, so he'd be out of his comfort zone regardless, but the impatience his co-stars reek of, it creeps him out. It has nothing to do with craft and everything to do with entitlement: they clearly expect stardom to be served to them as quickly and easily as a vending machine lunch, and it makes Yoshizumi wish all the more that he was acting with Iwaki instead. | |

| Title: Place Prompt: #7, Wind Pairing: Iwaki/Katou Rating: G Note: Some info on kites here - it turns out there’s a prominent kitemaker in Kyoto who shares Yoshizumi’s last name. But that’s something for some other drabble some other time. “This is fantastic, Yoshizumi-san!” Katou exclaimed, holding up the puppy-shaped kite. Iwaki looked equally pleased with the paper swan that had emerged from his own box. Katou continued, “I can’t wait to try mine out! Too bad there’s no wind today!” Yoshizumi grinned. “These are Kyoto kites. They’re light enough to fly inside without any wind, if you really can’t wait.” Katou looked at his puppy, his expression suddenly thoughtful. “I know I said couldn’t wait, but I think I want his first time to be in a park.” Yoshizumi glanced at Iwaki. Iwaki’s smile was faint but unmistakably loving. | |

| Title: Spillover
Prompt: #2, water
Pairing: Iwaki/Katou, but mainly about Yoshizumi
Rating: PG
Summary: Futurefic. Yoshizumi finally stays at the guys' house...
When a drainpipe underneath his kitchen sink explodes, resulting in food-specked suds and puddles all over the place, Yoshizumi accepts Iwaki and Katou's invitation to stay with them: he can't resist the opportunity to verify Iwaki's claims that Katou's cooking is excellent.
He already knows that they really mean it when they tell him "to make himself at home." So at 1 a.m., when the noises from their bedroom become overly enthusiastic, he merely shakes his head and does what any self-respecting, red-blooded man would do: he heads to their luxurious bathroom and noisily fills the tub with cold water. | |

| Title: Suppertime
Author: bronze_ribbons
Prompt: #1, cross-over
Fandoms: Harudaki, Peanuts
Characters: Yoshizumi, Iwaki, Katou, Snoopy
Rating: G
Words: 100
Summary: To each their own...
As the white beagle with black ears strutted, spun, and sashayed around with his supper dish, the three Japanese actors looked on in silence. After he finished his performance with a spectacular somersault off the roof of his doghouse, they politely applauded.
"At last we can pay attention to our meals," Yoshizumi said.
Katou mused, "I've heard that song before. One of my classmates at the Academy performed to it."
Iwaki smiled at Katou. "His energy reminds me of you--"
Yoshizumi dropped his fork with a clatter. "STOP THAT! Can't you wait until I’m done eating to nauseate me?" | |
