It’s about that time, Aiba’s Little Helpers.

Hello and welcome to the THIRD (whaaat?!) year of the annual Aiba Exchange!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. ‘Tis the season to be happy, you guys, and who better to bring that joy to us than Santa Aiba.

Calling all of Aiba’s little helpers! If writing/loving on Aiba Masaki is your thing, then please join us in celebrating Arashi’s Miracle Boy!

Pairings/friendships I want, no, NEED (if you can only think of one pairing/friendship you want, please try to include at least one more for your mods' sakes):
• I am a shameless Aiba/Jun shipper and will go down with my ship, but if you are not feeling that I also love Aiba/Nino, Aiba/Ohno, and any or all combinations of those pairings. I love Sho a whole lot, but he and Aiba are my BroTP, so I can’t really get behind anything romantic with them unless it’s an OT5 setting and Sakuraiba is not the focus. I love Ikuta Toma, so if you want to work him in, please feel free to do that! A pipe dream I have would be Aiba being a really good senpai (however you want to interpret that :D:D) to Ryusei, Hamada, and/or Kamiyama from Johnny’s West, but that’s just because I think they are all very pretty boys and that they look very pretty together the few times I have seen them interact. I am open to more than what is just on this list, so if these don’t work for you, drop me a line through the mods and we’ll work something out.

Genres, situations, kinks, plots I would like to receive:
•I’m a sucker for the classic romcom tropes like friends before more, forced cohabitation that leads to more, fake dating that leads to real love, etc. I love me some competent Aiba so doctor, lawyer, teacher, scientist, etc. are all Aiba professions I would love to read.
•Light hurt/comfort (so like, someone taking care of Aiba when he has allergies/a cold or Aiba taking care of someone else while they are sick, he gets a sprained ankle or something like that/)
•I also love, love, LOVE found families- so anything about Arashi coming together and finding their place with one another I would love to read.
•I;m going to ask for AU this year. I love fantasy/sci-fi/magic elements woven into the real world. Some TV shows/Franchises I love are: Heroes, Sense8, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter and other things like that if you want to draw inspiration from any of those. Whether you want to write something light and fluffy or something that builds on a slow burn, that’s great, just give me a happy ending of some sort please!
•Aiba and sports is always good to read. Quidditch captain Aiba maybe??
•Aiba and animals is always something I love to see/read so Aiba as a dog walker/veterinarian/zookeeper/famous animal expert would be really fun to read.
•If you decide to go the sexy route, I like sex of all kinds- penetrative and oral (cunnilingus/analingus), I like through preparation, light teasing, semi-public places, light orgasm denial, mirrors, cameras, showers, masturbation/”performing” for someone else. Toys are also welcome!
•Aiba birthmark is my absolute number one love and I am the self proclaimed president of the Birthmark Appreciation Committee. I am so mad at JE for covering it up these days so make me happy and include some birthmark appreciation please :D
All of that being said, if there is an idea you suddenly fall in love with that doesn't appear on this list, PLEASE write it! As long as you have fun, I promise I will love whatever you write me (as long as it isn't on my DNW list that is!)

Genres, situations, kinks, plots I would NOT LIKE to receive:
•I don’t like anything too dark or horror centered, and vampires and werewolves are not things that appeal to me either.
•No straight up angst, please. Real life is sad enough, okay?
•I don’t want character death of any kind.
•No Aiba in the hospital either unless he is there to welcome someone’s baby into the world or if he’s a doctor/nurse/medical professional
•No excessive use of pet names or epithets like “animal lover.” No non-con or dubcon, no underage, beastiality, mpreg, genderswitch, blood play, breath play, scat/golden showers, heavy BDSM—basically if you want to write something that could appear in 50 Shades of Grey then I am not your target audience. Light bondage (like cuffs or gags) is fine. No PWP or crack please—I like to have my sex with some content surrounding it. No cheating, no student/teacher or anything where there is an extreme power imbalance really.

Pairings, genres, plots I would like to write: Any Aiba/Arashi combinations and basically whatever’s on my “things I want to read” list as long as I am familiar enough with content/characters.

Pairings, genres, plots I WILL NOT write: Basically same as my “do not want” list.

Rating preference (both written and received): Whatever floats your boat :D

I can beta (Y/N): sure

I can pinch hit (Y/N): please, no.
