I can't write lately.

[ciircee]

So despite having some four stories 'in progress' I can't get any writing done. My brain will. not. move. I'm pretty sure by now that it's not the cold. >.< Damn it, I hate doing med checks. I hate being put on new things just to see if they'll work without killing my creativity. Boo.

So, in an attempt to NOT be acclimated to my meds, I have written really random drabble-like things. REALLY random. *scrubs brain* I have IDEAS. Why can't I make them come out?



Minna no Magic

"Nino," Ohno said softly.

"Mm?" asked Nino, preoccupied with stripping off his golf gloves.

"When did you get so good at golf?"

Nino scratched his chin with one, newly bared hand. "Recently, I suppose," he said after a moment. "It was surprising how far that drive went, huh?"

"You've been practicing," said Ohno. "Recently."

"You've been cheating on us and our magic," Sho accused loudly, slamming into the greenroom. "You've been going out golfing with Aiba."

"I swear, it was just Minna no Golf!"

"Nino-chan!" Aiba poked his head into the room. "I'm going to shower and then we can go to the driving range, okay?"

"How could you?" Sho demanded.

"What will I tell magic?" Ohno mourned.



Cut Back

Sho stopped dead in the doorway, 'good morning' dying on his lips even before Nino, Ohno, and Aiba plowed into him, knocking him into the room.

Jun, sitting in a chair situated exactly opposite the door, slowly lowered the magazine he was holding and looked over the top of it. "Explain," he said icily.

Nino grabbed Aiba and Ohno and shut the door even as Sho whirled to follow them out. "I hate you!" he yelled to his best friend.

"We'll bring you coffee," Nino called back. There was a soft mumble. "Right," said Nino. Then, more loudly, "And bandages. Lots of bandages."

Sho turned to face Jun as Aiba's giggles faded down the hallway. "S-so," he stuttered. "You got an early copy of Cut. How's the article?"

"Surprisingly un-raped by the camera," Jun said dangerously.

"I was with Miike-sensei!" Sho protested, pressing himself back against the door. "I'm sure they would have stripped me and tied me up and made me eat raspberries if I hadn't been!"

Jun dropped the magazine and stood up.

"Blame +Act!" Sho told him, fumbling for the door knob. "Manager said no more half-naked shoots for a few months!"

"They made your face up like a pretty little doll's," Jun said. He advanced one step, two. "They let you stand for every shot."

"I asked them for the camera-raping," Sho lied desperately. "I begged them to make it look obscene!"

Jun's hand closed over his as he finally found the cold metal of the knob. "That's good to know," Jun said, smiling at him. "Let's talk about that."

Sho was not reassured in the slightest and he highly doubted that 'talking about that' was going to involve a pleasant chat.


Out in the hall, Nino showed Aiba and Ohno how to do the haunted card trick. "I hope Jun finishes debauching him before the coffee gets cold," he said absently as Aiba tried the trick on his own.

"It's harder than it looks," he told Ohno as he handed over the cards. To Nino he said, "I told you. I said it would get cold. Jun is going to totally wreck him. He's going to do it so bad that makeup and hair won't be able to hide it. Cut is one of his trigger issues now, you know."

Ohno looped the invisible string around his little finger. "Sho looks really pretty after he gets laid," he said absently, cutting the card back into the deck.


"We have filming," Sho pleaded.

"I know," Jun purred. "That's the point."


"He's still only whimpering," Nino said some five minutes later. "I'm drinking his coffee. I paid good money for it."

"Oh-chan paid for it," Aiba said. "Yay! I got it! You couldn't even see the string move, right?"


"Now, what was that about begging for it?" Jun asked with a low, dark laugh.

Sho shivered. "Please?"


"I'm going to go buy Sho-chan an espresso double-shot," Ohno said when the whimpering stopped and turned into whimpering. He handed the cards back to Nino. "He's going to need it."

I was having that problem for awhile! Then I wrote the broccoli fic I'd been meaning to and it sort of faded away. Writer's block comes and goes, I'm sure something will push you out of it.

(I want to say bullying is not a catalyst... I want to... but I'd been slacking off a little before fluttering came after me with contests. *shame* Mutual encouragement is better, right? BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE IDEAS HINT HINT WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE MUAHAHA. Ahem.)

Also, loved both of these. The first for the Aiba/Nino BFF-ery that is behind the scenes, and the second for the Ohno/Aiba/Nino BFF-ery that is... outside the door. HOORAY. :D

Writer's block is one of the most frustrating things in the world. I hope it resolves itself very soon 'cause I always love your stories. They're always so good and witty and just incredibly fun to read.

kfjlrejrekl if this is how it is when you're having a writer's block, please keep having it. ♥♥♥♥♥

PRESCRIPTION: WATCH MORE ARASHI CLIPS UNTIL YOUR BRAIN GIVES IN TO THEIR SPARKLY.

I'll get you started.

[blood-opal.livejournal.com]

You can let random (and by random I mean us, your adoring fans) throw prompts at you to try and alleviate the "writer's block"? XDDD

Or not. I just want Arashi-sends-Aiba-gifts-for-the-opening-of-his-butai fic right now because Greenfingers starts today. :p That and I'm trying to procrastinate from studying.

If this is your writer's block, I want a chip of it. ♥ But really, take a break or... or open a drabble prompt post? You'll have tons of bunnies from that I'm sure. *WIDE EYES*

[uminohikari.livejournal.com]

*giggles* ♥

and espresso double-shot
an, not and

You're still totally made of awesome. Jun going DoS on Sho is totally made of win. With an added sprinkle of rainbows of running commentary from Nino and the rest *grin*

And Aiba with the plants too? Pure genius. If you want prompts... *drops hint like an anvil*

[lazulisong.livejournal.com]

well I love you.

you can get online and we can have a mutual whining society about our dumb fics. I keep staring blankly at mine like, what the hell do you dudes even want to do.

[waxrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm getting that block thing, too. :///

Mine unfortunately does not come with drabbles.

On that note, skndld;;jdk all I can say is GO JUN GO and oh, the running commentary from Nino and company. You are so awesome. ♥

I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR WRITER'S BLOCK
VERY SORRY INDEED

If your problem is TOO MANY ideas, may you could put some of them up for adoption. Maybe setting them free would clear out some room in the brain...?

[rhythmia.livejournal.com]

If this is what you come up with when you're blocked...well. :D

Though really, take your time, because it's no fun if you force it, right? We're all here for the fun and sparklies, so however long it takes, no worries. ^__^

The Nino+Ohno+Aiba byplay was awesome. Helpful!Ohno is cute, and the Jun/Sho (emphasis on that slash, goodness) leaves a lot of interesting things to the imagination.

I liked the plants one too. Oh Aiba. ^__^

[ruisetsuna.livejournal.com]

Hi :) I love your writing, even your writers-blocked drabbles ♥
