If only things worked out the way Midorima expected them to...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Notes:&lt;/b&gt; Written for &lt;span  class=&quot;ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-P     &quot;  data-ljuser=&quot;qem_chibati&quot; lj:user=&quot;qem_chibati&quot; &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://qem-chibati.livejournal.com/profile/&quot;  target=&quot;_self&quot;  class=&quot;i-ljuser-profile&quot; &gt;&lt;img  class=&quot;i-ljuser-userhead&quot;  src=&quot;https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/userinfo_v8.png?v=17080&amp;v=922&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://qem-chibati.livejournal.com/&quot; class=&quot;i-ljuser-username&quot;   target=&quot;_self&quot;   &gt;&lt;b&gt;qem_chibati&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for Not Prime Time! ^_^ &amp;nbsp;When I saw I&amp;#39;d gotten Qem, I experienced some super squee... and then went &amp;quot;oh crap, I need to make this &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt;...&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; This was the obviously-Ai fic (I don&amp;#39;t know if Qem knew it was me, though.) &amp;nbsp;I had fun writing this, but it wasn&amp;#39;t my first-choice bunny. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m sorry, Qem, I tried very hard to write you a fic called The Whiteboard Chronicles, but I got stuck and needed to switch gears. &amp;nbsp;You&amp;#39;ll get it eventually, but I don&amp;#39;t make promises as to when, and in the meantime, I hope this was good enough for now! &amp;lt;3 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/collections/notprimetime2014/works/1822132&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Link to fic on AO3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  <title>[One-shot] Three&apos;s a Crowd, Four&apos;s a Party (Kuroko no Basuke)</title>
  <author>aiwritingfic</author>

  <title>[Fic] Club Imperial 1/? (Kuroko no Basuke)</title>
  <author>aiwritingfic</author>
  <link>https://apples-for-me.livejournal.com/57211.html</link>
  <description>So&amp;hellip; about that BDSM AU HaiKise I keep threatening to write&amp;hellip; um, yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://archiveofourown.org/works/1943136&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Club Imperial&lt;/a&gt; (1/?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Characters:&lt;/b&gt; Haizaki Shougo, Kise Ryouta Akashi Seijuurou, Midorima Shintarou, Aomine Daiki, Momoi Satsuki, Kuroko Tetsuya, Nijimura Shuuzou, Murasakibara Atsushi, Kagami Taiga, Himuro Tatsuya, Takao Kazunari, Aida Riko&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary:&lt;/b&gt; In the beginning, there were seven Masters at Club Imperial. In the end, there will still be seven. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kise Ryouta joins Club Imperial as a trainee submissive because he&amp;rsquo;s attracted to Aomine Daiki. Haizaki couldn&amp;rsquo;t care less until Kise starts horning for Haizaki&amp;rsquo;s position, and then he decides it&amp;rsquo;s time to teach the uppity new kid that submissives should do only what Masters tell them to. &amp;nbsp;BDSM AU, heavy on the dominance, bondage, and dubious consent (if you know how I swing HaiKise and I-hate-you-because-I&amp;rsquo;m-attracted-to-you, that may be all you need to know). Don&amp;rsquo;t expect a happy ending for Haizaki (or Kise). ^_^;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do want to know if Club Imperial is worth continuing, though you only have 470 words in which to decide... ^_^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;</description>

Hikaru is our player character, Sai is an NPC ghost, and Yang Hai is a greedy merchant. Totally self-indulgent and written for Blind Go Round 15. This is probably not going to be interesting unless you also like The Sims 3... ^_^;</description>

Canon divergence crossover AU (Skip Beat! and Kuroko no Basuke) in which Kise Ryouta chases Tsuruga Ren into the world of entertainment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Chapter Summary:&lt;/b&gt; Gemini disbands and Kise moves on.

Fascinated by Tsuruga&amp;rsquo;s acting skills, Kise joins LME Productions, but unlike in modeling, Kise&amp;rsquo;s natural athleticism, charisma, and ability to quickly copy someone else&amp;rsquo;s physical movements aren&amp;rsquo;t enough for a newcomer to compete on Tsuruga&amp;rsquo;s level. Will Kise adapt and grow into his chosen industry, or is he forever going to be picking up Tsuruga Ren&amp;rsquo;s scraps? Canon divergence crossover AU (Skip Beat! and Kuroko no Basuke) in which Kise Ryouta chases Tsuruga Ren into the world of entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chapter Summary:&lt;/strong&gt; In which Kise takes a detour with a band.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>Here are a bunch of fics for HnG that I have posted to AO3 lately. Also, in case people haven&amp;#39;t noticed, yes, fics are getting posted to AO3 nowadays, as I really like the kudos system there (no more comments necessary when you like something and want to let the author know even if you don&amp;#39;t have anything to say about the story itself!) The rest of the archive will &lt;i&gt;eventually&lt;/i&gt; make its way onto AO3, but it&amp;#39;s taking longer than expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title&lt;/b&gt;: Oops&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Characters&lt;/b&gt;: Touya Kouyou, Shindou Hikaru&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Words/Rating&lt;/b&gt;: 170+ words / G&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary&lt;/b&gt;: Touya Kouyou is a very even-tempered man almost all the time.

  <description>&lt;b&gt;Title&lt;/b&gt;: Saturday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Characters&lt;/b&gt;: Waya, Kurata, Yang Hai, Isumi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Words/Rating&lt;/b&gt;: 750+ words / G&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary&lt;/b&gt;: Waya gets very curious about one of his online go partners, to Isumi&apos;s detriment..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Author&amp;#39;s Notes&lt;/b&gt;: Written for Round 12 of &lt;span  class=&quot;ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-C     &quot;  data-ljuser=&quot;blind_go&quot; lj:user=&quot;blind_go&quot; &gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blind-go.livejournal.com/profile/&quot;  target=&quot;_self&quot;  class=&quot;i-ljuser-profile&quot; &gt;&lt;img  class=&quot;i-ljuser-userhead&quot;  src=&quot;https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/community.png?v=556&amp;v=922&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blind-go.livejournal.com/&quot; class=&quot;i-ljuser-username&quot;   target=&quot;_self&quot;   &gt;&lt;b&gt;blind_go&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://answer-key.livejournal.com/132965.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.  I failed at anonymity by maintaining continuity with some of my other fics, whoops?  ^_^;;;;;;;;;  &lt;small&gt;Luckily for me, not that many people caught me anyway.  ^_^&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;Saturday, September 10, 9:49 am Japan Standard Time&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tt&gt;[09:49] zelda: got time for a game?&lt;br /&gt;[09:49] juodaibaltas: sure&lt;br /&gt;[09:49] zelda: i&apos;ll give you a handicap&lt;br /&gt;[09:50] juodaibaltas: 5 stone pls&lt;br /&gt;[09:50] zelda: really? last week it was 6 stones.&lt;br /&gt;[09:50] juodaibaltas: i want to try&lt;br /&gt;[09:51] zelda: okay, but you asked for it.&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturdays always started this way for Waya.  When the sun started warming his futon just a little too much--this happened earlier in the fall and spring and later in the summer and winter, thanks to the wonderful new aircon he&apos;d just had installed--Waya would roll out of bed, start up his computer, and have breakfast while playing against whoever was logged onto KGS at the time.  Sometimes people would IM him, and occasionally he would IM other people.  &lt;tt&gt;juodaibaltas&lt;/tt&gt; was one such person; decent player, improving well, unconventional.  It was kind of like playing Shindou in his early insei days, and Waya kind of missed that side of Shindou some days.  Not that he didn&apos;t like the current Shindou fine the way he was, but.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Losing, however, was not usual for Waya these days, especially losing to someone with a five-stone handicap who&apos;d only been playing Waya at six stones a scant two weeks ago.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tt&gt;[11:26] juodaibaltas: gg! thank you for the win. i have to go--4 stones next time?&lt;br /&gt;[11:26] zelda: gg! how did you improve so quickly?&lt;br /&gt;** juodaibaltas has logged off&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waya stared at the screen, then shook himself.  Some people progressed faster than others, Shindou being a case in point.  He scanned the list of players logged in and stopped at a name.  &lt;tt&gt;goisfood&lt;/tt&gt;... wasn&apos;t that Kurata-san&apos;s online go handle?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tt&gt;[11:35] zelda: wanna play? 1 stone for me.&lt;br /&gt;[11:36] goisfood: Waya-kun? Sure, but are you sure one stone is enough for you? Remember our last game?&lt;br /&gt;[11:37] zelda: if you don&apos;t mind some shidougo, i&apos;ll do two stones.&lt;br /&gt;[11:37] zelda: ever played a player called juodaibaltas?&lt;br /&gt;[11:38] goisfood: No, I can&apos;t recall ever doing so.  Why?&lt;br /&gt;[11:38] zelda: just curious. let&apos;s play!&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All right, so asking Kurata hadn&apos;t been the right move, but a game of shidougo with a player of Kurata-san&apos;s caliber was nothing to complain about.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waya scanned the list of players again, and then facepalmed.  Of course, the one go player with the most international connections in the strangest places.  He hesitated for a few seconds; talking to Yang Hai always frustrated Waya to no end.  Still, Yang Hai was a great shidougo partner when he felt like it, and Waya knew how to get Yang Hai in the mood through the right bribes.  Those bribes should work just fine for information gathering, too...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Why Yang Hai hadn&apos;t just moved to Japan was beyond Waya, since it wasn&apos;t as if the Nihon Ki-in wouldn&apos;t love to snatch a player like that from China, and Yang Hai was perfectly fluent in Japanese.  Waya was pretty sure Le Ping didn&apos;t need a babysitter any more, either.)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waya&apos;s curiosity ate at him until he gave in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tt&gt;[14:24] zelda: have you ever played a player called juodaibaltas?&lt;br /&gt;[14:25] ShesellsSeashells: what&apos;s in it if I answer your question?&lt;br /&gt;[14:25] zelda: the latest akb48 poster i can get.&lt;br /&gt;[14:26] ShesellsSeashells: I&apos;m tempted to bargain, Waya-kun, but I&apos;m feeling generous.  yes, juodaibaltas and I play a lot.  She&apos;s a Lithuanian studying in China.  Lives down the street from our Go Institute.  I can arrange a date, if that&apos;s what you were after, but it&apos;ll cost you a little more...&lt;br /&gt;[14:26] zelda: ... do you ever think about anything besides girls?&lt;br /&gt;[14:27] ShesellsSeashells: go, of course. and computers. besides, she&apos;s hot. kind of looks like misaki-chan, only, you know, lithuanian.&lt;br /&gt;[14:27] zelda: you&apos;re kidding.&lt;br /&gt;[14:27] ShesellsSeashells: check out my FB. that last party, the one in the green dress.&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More curious than anything else, Waya did so.  He gaped at the screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;tt&gt;[14:31] ShesellsSeashells: you know, if you don&apos;t mind an apartment exchange, I&apos;m sure Le Ping would love to go to Tokyo again. just sayin&apos;.&lt;br /&gt;[14:33] zelda: and what exactly did you have in mind when you said &quot;a little more&quot;?&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;Sunday, September 11, 1:00 pm Japan Standard Time&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isumi was relaxing in his room reading Touya-sensei&apos;s latest go book when the phone rang.  The caller id showed a cellphone number, but it wasn&apos;t a number Isumi recognized, and it wasn&apos;t saved in his phone.  Maybe it was Waya, calling from a payphone?  &quot;Hello?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Isumi-san!  I&apos;m in Japan now, let&apos;s have lunch and then play go!  Buy me some sushi, it&apos;s been a while!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isumi stared at the phone in shock.  &quot;Le Ping?&quot;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- END --&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&apos;cutid1-end&apos;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>
