![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
solo____ & jo_lasalle Pairing: Kamenashi Kazuya / Akanishi Jin
Rating: Explicit
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Alternate Universe fiction. None of this is true.
Warnings: If there are any warnings for this story, you will find them here.
Summary: Kame's got his reasons for seeing prostitutes. Jin's got his reasons for being one. Life is pretty screwed up.
Notes: Story notes, acknowledgements and frantically reiterated disclaimers are here.
The picture is still on the screen, looking out at him, a soft face in a mass of dark wavy hair which seems to invite touch even now. The mouth isn't bad, either. Probably a very flattering shot, but that's the point, isn't it.

Date: 2011-03-10 08:05 pm (UTC)And... god, you have me hooked already; it really is AU, but very intriguingly so, and I'm excited like WOA for the rest!
It already feels like epic, amazing fic to me.
but I don't know how I'm going to get through a year of weekly posting, the suspense is killing me already XDI guess Thursday'll become my favourite day of the week! ;)(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-10 09:08 pm (UTC)We know! People must have stopped believing it would ever happen. Though we beat our own prediction of 2012... must amend that profile page...
...epic, amazing fic with some mysterious whores and a lot of angst in it.
Epic, check. Angst, omg CHECK CHECK CHECK. And some of the whores are kind of mysterious, we guess. As for amazing... we, uh, wouldn't want to make any... predictions. It's not quite our usual thing and we're pretty sure also not going to be everybody's cup of tea. Meep.
But thank you for commenting and we are really glad you liked the first chapter! Hey, you are our first commenter ever on this monster!

Date: 2011-03-10 08:08 pm (UTC)Beautifully written (as usual ;D), you manage very well to convey the mood, I especially liked Kame's scenes: his thoughts about the rain, the uncomfortable conversation in the car, the description of his apartment.
I didn't expect Kame married. At all. And I'm curious how that will end (which I will find out in a year if you keep up with your posting-schedule T___T).
Jin. I love his characterization, his interaction with other people, especially his bratty charm (i.e. "I didn't do anything!" ;D). The JinxTegoshi-thing is interesting, I wonder if this will end well, especially since the two of them apparently don't get along to well IRL (-> "Usero" XD).
Tatsuya the high-class whore is awesome and he hasn't even appeared yet. *_____*
I will definitely keep reading this. ♥
(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-10 09:21 pm (UTC)Kame's marriage... *g* we may have cackled a little evilly when we read that.
Tatsuya is definitely worth his money. *g* Hee, we're glad he makes an impression before he even shows up.
And we hope you like the rest. If you like whoreverses, you probably have some idea what to expect. Though most of the ones we know ourselves are rather fluffier than this is, so... um. We hope you have fun? :-)

Date: 2011-03-10 09:38 pm (UTC)...I am so thankful no one else was around when I refreshed my f-page and saw this hovering at the top...I must have looked absolutely psychotic with glee *g*..
inside I'm still giddily going..oh my god epic fic!!! ♥
The first chapter was enthralling, I wasn't quite sure what to anticipate but I'm very intrigued by the both the original characters and the ways in which you've woven familiar faces into the story ;-)...also going at *o* at Tatsuya and Kimura figuring into this ...hmmm...Kame being married is interesting, my mind is already whirring about how that will play into the story.
this year long posting schedule is going to do amazing things to my patience /rolls♥ ♥

Date: 2011-03-11 09:41 am (UTC)We really hope you'll like it. Enthralling is good, hee! Glad all the OCs didn't put you off, there will be a few of them.... And that you like Tatsuya and Kimura. Kame likes them too. *eg*

Date: 2011-03-10 10:05 pm (UTC)wow... i guess i am going to like this one although i got a feeling jin's an uke? maybe it will work out although most jin uke!fics don't really manage to portray him good.
i'm looking forward for the next chapter.
thanks for sharing

Date: 2011-03-11 09:48 am (UTC)We hope that our characterisation of Jin will work for you. We don't really deal in yaoi classifications, but given his job in this piece, he's got to be what the client wants him to be. ;-)
Thank you for commenting - we hope you enjoy the rest.

Date: 2011-03-11 12:37 am (UTC)I'm already starting to feel depressed lol (Kame's poor wife ;__; I hope she knows </3) so I'm grateful that this is going to be posted weekly; it'll give me some time to recover.
(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-11 09:59 am (UTC)That's the right spirit! *g*
We're sorry about the cheating -- so's everybody here, but people don't always do the right thing in this story... :-/
We do hope it'll be worth the angst down the line. Thank you for commenting!
(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-11 02:32 am (UTC)i need this more often, dark and angsty stuff
too much sweet lately... not good
the point is: kame's married already and jin is a whore -> win ♥
(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-11 12:49 pm (UTC)LOL, you've definitely come to the right place for not-sweet... >_>
Thank you for commenting! We trust you will find the angst satisfactory! ;-)

Date: 2011-03-11 12:59 pm (UTC)Yes, you do get 54 chapters... we hope it's not a threat but sometimes we're not sure. *g* This is such a lovely comment, thank you -- we were trying to give little glimpses of this universe slowly, and what you're saying here about how that worked made us very happy.
(And no, it's not present-day Kame, as you noticed... we sometimes feel a bit guilty towards present-day Kame. Meep.)

Date: 2011-03-11 06:19 am (UTC)I've been waiting for this so long I almost screamed when I saw it posted.
I'm bracing myself for the angsty ride, which isn't usually my thing at ALL, but if you write it girls, I'll read it *creepy fan here 8D
I have a THING for kame/kimura, so, even hinted at, it made my day!
I'll wait patiently for the next chapter!!!
Luv ya girls!!
(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-11 01:10 pm (UTC)Bracing is good. Seatbelt, stiff drink... you may need it. :-) Glad you loved the Kame/Kimura thing! We know nobody will believe us, but we wrote this ages ago (well, it's chapter 1!), long before we heard of any of the KimuKame stuff, way before Mr Brain. We're always giggling like maniacs when real!Kame gets all admiring of Kimutaku. *g*
Creepy fans rule! Feel free to creep to your heart's content. :-)
54 Chapters?
Date: 2011-03-11 06:32 am (UTC)I'm a big fan of your author notes (as much as your actual work) so I usually comment right after the notes. Anyway. Whatever. I haven't read. "Let me read this shit already!" God, you're funny.
Re: 54 Chapters?
Date: 2011-03-11 01:16 pm (UTC)Thank you for reading our notes! For once we think... people should. *g* No, really, we appreciate it. We actually, um, spend enough time fiddling with our notes that we like the feedback on them too! *g*
Hope you enjoy the story just as much, even if it's rather less funny.
Re: 54 Chapters?
Date: 2011-03-11 02:29 pm (UTC)Much admiration for the dedication. Kudos. And I thank you in advance for what I expect is gonna be quite a ride.
Re: 54 Chapters?
Date: 2011-03-11 08:13 pm (UTC)Glad you are intrigued, we were hoping people might be. Enjoy the ride!

Date: 2011-03-27 07:20 am (UTC)Okay so, thoughts:
At first I was like omg are we diving straight into action, what it going on, did I miss something until you guys brought up the fact that they're shooting, to which I have to say: NICELY DONE. sldkfjs that was a very well executed move, I know I'm not making any sense, but bear with me as it's reaching 3am so my brain is not at it's best XD. Secondly I lovelovelove that Kame is an actor *___*. reminds me of that transcript with the origins of whorefic bc of Fitz's Soft Skin Boys also having Kame as the actor, being a pretty woman au after all. ACTOR!KAME FTW! Though I am more than a little annoyed with his colleagues -.- their existence keeps hassling him. I mean Kame's a nice guy about it but DDDDD: people need to stop bugging him and Toyoda should stop being such a brat. just saying :| #harsh #protective.
Okay and, y'know, me having my weird tendencies, I could gloss over Kame's mention of Tatsuya. However, with Jin...
But he can't think of anybody who's seemed unhappy with him since the incident with Nakamaru.
lksjd;f;s;dfk Nakamaru what. I think I had like a horrified squawk of painful laughter. I mean. It's Maru T__T ♥.
And I really liked the way that the Johnny's environment was described, more like dropping hints and setting out pieces to put together than a block of detail. Really created the right atmosphere imo :o. And uh...I know this is a dumb question to be asking but...is Yuuya like...Tego o_o. Am holding out on the fact that there are younger Yuuya's in the company...ksdjhf seeing Jin being nice and kinda older brotherly to Tego kills me bc of the whole usero rumour. Still, I like the way Jin is showing him the ropes, he's such a sweetheart T_T. I wonder if we'll get to know stuff about what Tego's...
street lifepast was like exactly, given his convo with Jin o_o...Oh and I have only one word for Junno: awesome. :B
Kame's fake apartment makes me a little sad, that after a long day, that's what he has to go home to :(. but then:
Ootomo seems pleased and directs him to a few profile pages, all good-looking men, vaguely familiar from his nights at the club, all—
Kame stops.
"The fourth one," he says, "he's…"
I was like SKSD::KF:SDLS:LDFK:LK. KAME STOPS. THE FOURTH ONE. my mind was totally screaming Jin, bc obvs, but still, it's such a perfect moment, Kame's reaction *_______*
Also, KAMENASHI IS SOMETIMES KIMURA's. I just. Somehow that is really fitting. I MEAN I'M NOT SHIPPING THEM OR ANYTHING O_O just that ksdjfhds kimura is like the Kimutaku, and Kame only has the best (clearly). AND NOW KAME IS........HAVING........JIN :DDDD...for lack of a better word skdjfh XD. Also eeee, Kokame friendship, I see it :D. And again, more hints about the kind of establishment Johnny's is and Jin's relative position, and you guys, I really love your style of writing T______T
AND NOW I'M GOING TO ABRUPTLY STOP JUST LIKE YOU BOTH DID except I'm not leaving you hanging like you left me. hanging. off a cliffhanger. :|||| /never letting this go
p.s. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥!!!!!
p.p.s. sorry about the um, absurd length >>......I'm just longwinded....T_T
(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-27 06:25 pm (UTC)Glad you like Kame as an actor! To both of us, it's really... he is so *good* at acting, we keep thinking, if he wasn't in a boyband he might well be simply an actor, and it's easy to imagine him being very famous for that. (Or baseball player, obvs, but we weren't going to do that to ourselves since we know even less about baseball than about acting. *g*)
Aw, poor Toyoda. OCs have a hard life...
Nakamaru what. I think I had like a horrified squawk of painful laughter.
We had delighted squawks of hysterical laughter reading this. HAHAHAHA. MWAAHAHAHAHA.
And we are braced for more Moni ~eyebrows^^~ over our everyone/everyone base pairing. *g*
Yep, Yuuya is Tego. Forgive us. :-) We just think that his talents would get him very far in this environment... *eg*
The thing with Kimutaku... yes, Kame totally only goes for the best, and we were so stunned and delighted when canon helped us out with the relationship between the two of them. :-)
And now to stick with tradition we need to---
(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-28 12:53 am (UTC)the lack of kamedrama irl hurts my soul :(. Tego's talents...I can really only just think of his crossdresssing tendencies rn XD
WHAT POOR TOYODA. i mean it's her own fault for being so blargh rly :| #doesnotforgiveeasily
EVILLLLLL. Thinking of Maru's uncomfortable moments in CTKT when the ladies were getting close to him ksjhfskdjfshdf HIS LIFE IS SO HARD XDDD
if monibrows were as powerful as kamebrows, jin and kame would be ~exclusive~. alas....T_T....... :P
SDLKFJSDS I ACTUALLY FACEPALMED AT THAT LAST SENTENCE. AND I WEAR GLASSES. :|||....XDDD
(no subject)
Date: 2011-03-29 07:27 pm (UTC)Tegotalent: he is very slutty! :-) But yes, the crossdressing, too. We're sure some clients would like that a lot. :-)~~~
If Jin and Kame were exclusive, we'd have to label this 'not!whorefic'... it would be a radical change in concept, and after 400k words, maybe a little belated. ;-)
OMG that pigrabbit gets everywhere. /Solo
(no subject)
Date: 2013-06-13 10:26 pm (UTC)suddenly Kame is annoyed, because— He isn't sure why
So, I noticed, right when Jin first arrives, Kame is his normal Nice!Kame self and polite and then he's on the phone, and while on the phone, he was studying Jin's profile, and after that is when he starts to get irritated with Jin even though he's not doing anything and I wonder if while he was studying his profile he subconsciously noticed he looked like his bastard ex-bf? Since he gets increasingly more bitchy and assumes Jin is trying to annoy him on purpose in his angry psycho brain.
And then there's his weird identity crisis this is wrong, he doesn't do this, he doesn't like it like this, he pulls his hands away. and he never does that with Tatsuya, because he's Nice!Kame with Tatsuya, but Nice!Kame is turning into Dark!Kame and clearly he doesn't see it coming
Because it's not him, he knows it's not him
Is Kame talking about himself here? :O
like he's the one who should be impatient and then he catches "right, for the youth of Japan,"
I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS LINE AND DIED LAUGHING OMG SASSY WHORE JIN IS THE BEST WHORE JIN X'D. Oh man. This is why he's my favorite character.
right now he likes the look that goes with not liking it, those brown eyes wide and wary, a guarded expression framed by soft dark hair. Likes it a lot.
Oh yeah, not weird at all, liking when someone looks scared, nope, totally normal. |D HELLO DARK PSYCHO KAME. WE MEET AGAIN. >_> And
no, he just flexed his fingers but it's enough, it's too much, Kame was clear and why should he have to worry about this,
Okay I didn't catch before how weird it was how freaked out Dark!Kame gets when Jin just MOVES his fingers, Christ. Talk about being a control freak. |D
"Watch those buttons," he says. "I can't have someone leave my place looking like they just failed to have sex."
LOL, well, at least Dark!Kame is funny sometimes. XD Also, kudos to Jin for his whole "NOPE" stunt and pushing Kame on the ground as he ran away, I don't think most escorts would have the balls to do that. I know he gets tied up and blindfolded and fear-tortured as a result, but, hey, at least he stood up for himself. :)

Date: 2013-06-19 06:38 pm (UTC)LOL we didn't realize that having a non-exciting chapter was the way to hook readers, but good to know it worked! ^^
I wonder if while he was studying his profile he subconsciously noticed he looked like his bastard ex-bf? Since he gets increasingly more bitchy and assumes Jin is trying to annoy him on purpose in his angry psycho brain.
Yep. As you go through for a second time, knowing what was going on, you'll find quite a few hints. :D
Because it's not him, he knows it's not him
Is Kame talking about himself here? :O
Yes, he knows that he's just... his normal self, able to have normal sex, so why is this going wrong?? Clearly the whore's fault!
I don't think most escorts would have the balls to do that.
Um, balls... he was panicking. He basically didn't have any self control. >_> #poorbaby

Date: 2013-08-13 03:09 pm (UTC)You started writing in 2008? When did you finish?
Not sure How long it'll take me to read the whole thing, but I'll try to comment throughout. Thanks!
(no subject)
Date: 2013-08-14 08:58 am (UTC)Hi! Welcome to the... um. Madness. We hope you read the warnings. >_>
We finished writing the first draft about a month before we posted chapter 1, around February 2010. But we kept editing the chapters as we went, so really, we didn't finish the story until a day before we posted the final chapter. So... 11 April 2012? Yeah.
Glad you're finding it interesting. It always makes us so happy to hear somebody's reactions on their way through this little monster, so your comments are very much appreciated! :DD
