the story of the ink

URGE TO WRITE A SHERLOCK/ARASHI AU!FUSION FIC: 200%

Not exactly original (seeing as how I even wrote this idea before -- which wasn't even really mine, by the way, the idea, thank you [livejournal.com profile] aatash) but guys, BBC's Sherlock is warping my life like some kind of cosmic intervention, and with the last episode of season two coming up (!!!!! !!!!!), for some reason all I could think about was Nino and Ohno being Sherlock and John and having a happy ending instead of The Final Problem / The Empty House.


Nino is this acerbic, sharp-tongued, too-observant-for-his-own-good jerkface who likes to play games all day and is too lazy to hold a real job. Ohno is his slow-going and patient, good-natured, way-more-talented-than-his-face-might-suggest partner. Together they fight crime!! It was Ohno's suggestion, to start a detective agency, because he made some business cards for fun one day and Nino accidentally happened upon them and thought it was a hilarious way to live life. But the joke was on him, because he turned out to be really good at it and Ohno apparently had a natural talent with a various weaponry. The cases began as just a way to alleviate boredom and earn some cash, but as they got hired for more difficult ones, the pay got better and better until one day Nino looked at Ohno and said, "Ohmiya Industries is a shitty name, all things considered," and Ohno blinked and said back mildly, "Then you think of something better." But Nino couldn't, so the name stayed.

Sho is a doctor (a general practitioner who watches too many documentaries); he got to know Nino and Ohno after constant visits from the two of them in his walk-in clinic, and from then on occasionally gets called in to consult on their cases, and more often than not, is pulled in head first into more trouble than he ever cares to have. If Nino and Ohno weren't there to vouch for him in their statements, Sho probably could have been convicted for murder at least three times over the course of their friendship together. Admittedly, if Nino and Ohno hadn't gotten themselves into a horrible situation in the first place and called Sho for help, then Sho never would even have gotten implicated and would have been content to spend his evenings reading newspapers in front of a fire. Which is an activity that Sho misses doing, but not as much as he whines about. Sho actually likes the excitement, the thrill of the chase, but that's something he's still working on admitting to himself.

Aiba is a newly recruited cop, with a heart of gold and the speed of a cheetah, and he wants to prove himself to the world. He believes that people are inherently good, everyone deserves second chances, and the law is there to protect, not to harm. He's watched Nino and Ohno from afar, when the police ask for Nino's professional opinion about certain cases, but they've never been officially introduced. Except one time he follows Nino and Ohno around on the case and blows their cover. Nino ruins his life from then on in, until Aiba one day uses his miraculous intuition to find Ohno and Nino after one of their cases had gone terribly wrong and save both their lives by dumping a barrel of water on their would-be-murderer and then tossing his taser on him. Nino respects him after that, and if they need an officer to accompany them on cases, Aiba's the first one Nino asks for.

And Jun? Jun is a rich, influential, respected socialite, recently given responsibility to safekeep something extremely valuable to his family and his work, and unfortunately for him, he's just lost it. And this is where the story would start.

UGHHHHHHHH I want to write a legit mystery fic so BADLY it's stupid. This would require OCs though, and I can't do OCs, I really can't. DILEMMA!!!!! :F

I get you; that's cool. Different strokes! I totally thought Benedict Cumberbatch's face was crazy too, just like Colin Morgan and Matt Smith's -- almost alien like. Prolonged exposure, however, has totally negated any of those old feelings. I LOVE that you love Martin Freeman though. I got to know both of them through Sherlock and while Benedict Cumberbatch made a huge impression on me in his role (for good reason), I just got pulled head over heels for Martin Freeman. I can't explain it but I really really really love him. DAMN that guy is awesome. I think I might actually expire in the theatre when I see The Hobbit.

YES RIGHT? I use OCs like placeholders who I don't care a whit about, and when I have to flesh them out a bit, I get nervous and antsy. But for long-fic I don't like having slapdash characters who are used once and never seen again (coughBLEACHcough)... ugh anyway, anytime the conversation involves OCs I always talk myself in circles and still remain unhappy towards them in the end.

The funny thing is that my friend (who drew that Sherlock picture up there) and I actually drew Arashi Okcats last year, just for fun, on some scrap piece of paper that I don't think was kept. We both drew a set and then compared. Don't remember what I drew but OH WELL HERE

I have loved Martin Freeman since the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, which wasn't great but he is basically Arthur Dent in every way. And that basically sealed my love for him. And then he was in Love Actually and I was like HEY IT'S ARTHUR DENT OH GOD ARTHUR DENT HAVING FAKE SEX THIS IS AWKWARD. I probably will not watch the Hobbit in theaters because I am not very good with theaters (read: i am cheap as fuck and new york city theaters are expensive) BUT. BUT. I will watch it. for great justice for martin freeman.

That makes sense. D: It is a thing to avoid, I guess, but unfortunately some plots are like "lol we need OCs lol WE THWART YOU." Damn it all. Godspeed and I wish I had better advice. JUST KNOW that I am sitting in the corner waving a PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIM uchiwa. at breast height, though, so I don't get thrown out of the stadium.

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD ARASHI OKCATS. OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST SHOCAT'S MUSCLES AND JUNCAT'S SPARKLES AND NINOCAT LOOKS APPROPRIATELY DERANGED and ohno looks like a normal cat, which is appropriate.

prim did you know that you're my herooooooo
and everything that I would like to beeeeeeee?
I can fly higher than an eeeeagleeeeeeee
for you are the wind beneath my wiiiiiiiiiiiiings

(no seriously I have had a SHIT DAY and this made it better ♥)
