Title: His Royal Honor
Chapter: Sequel to His Prince's Knight and His Knight’s Prince; technically part of the After Ever After series
Author: Boots
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama
Warning: Just some language
Pairing: Hayato (Codomo Dragon) x Sena (Jiluka)
Disclaimer: Codomo Dragon and Royz belong to BP Records, Jiluka belongs to DPR Japan, DIAURA belongs to Ains, Initial’L belongs to Battle Cry Sound Company, I own the story only.
Summary: Sena arrives for his assignment as the new ambassador from Jiluka to Veekay feeling like he’s being exiled from his homeland. But there might be more to his fate than he originally thought.
Comments: Written for the November challenge at vkyaoi, which called for fics about lead guitarists. I had intended to write about Sena’s early days in Veekay shortly after completing His Knight’s Prince but got sidetracked by other things (read, other muses). Even though it isn’t labeled as part of the After Ever After series, it does take place in that timeline, around the time of The Hidden Prince.

( A long, long flight gave him plenty of time to think. )

Title: After Ever After: The Page That Got Stuck
Chapter: Part of an ongoing series of sequels to A Sort of Fairy Tale, third and last in the Royal Pages miniseries.
Author: Boots
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama
Warning: Just some language
Pairing: Jui (Gotcharocka) x Sora (Lezard), mentions of Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz); Yo-ka (DIAURA) x Yuuki (Lycaon/Initial’L); Hitomi (Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka); Mamo (R-Shitei) x Tacc (Lezard) and Natsume x Kosuke (Lezard).
Disclaimer: Lezard is property of Riostar Records, Gotcharocka is property of God Child Records, DIAURA is property of Ains, Royz is property of BP Records, I own the story only.
Summary: Sora is a serious workaholic who won’t let anything – sometimes even sleep – interfere with his mission to make the royal wedding special. And then, someone comes into his life who makes him reconsider his life choices.
Comments: A second story for the October challenge at vkyaoi, which called for fics revolving around vocalists.

( Planning a royal wedding resembled a military operation. )

Title: After Ever After: Man of Honor
Chapter: Sequel to After Ever After: The Hidden Prince and part of an ongoing series that follows A Sort of Fairy Tale
Author: Boots
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama
Warning: Lots of ALL CAPS YELLING
Pairing: Kouki (D=OUT) x Mahiro (Kiryu) (main), Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz), Yo-ka (DIAURA) x Yuuki (Lycaon/Initial'L), mentions of Hitomi (Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka) and Junji (Kiryu) x Gaku (Fest Vainqueur)
Disclaimer: D=OUT belongs to Speed-Disk, Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, DIAURA belongs to Ains, Kiryu and Royz belong to B.P. Records, Initial'L is property of Battle Cry Sound Company. I own the story only.
Summary: Prince Toya asks his half-brother, Mahiro, to be in his wedding – but the choice is not popular with all members of the royal family.
Comments: Written for the October challenge at vkei yaoi, which called for fics focusing on vocalists with a secondary challenge of incorporating screaming or yelling into the story. The hairstyle of Kouki’s mentioned here is the most recent look of his enka-singing alter ego, Hanamazikura Koki. (Hence the joke here about him looking like an enka singer). Princess Yongsun is Solar, leader of the K-pop girl group Mammamoo. (She’ll be showing up in person in a later installment).

( Royal weddings were elaborate, and that extended to the selection of the wedding party )

Title: After Ever After: The Question And What Followed
Chapter: Part of an ongoing series of sequels to A Sort of Fairy Tale, sequel to Snowglobe Wishes.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama
Warning: Mutual handjobs, silent sex
Pairing: Sakito (Nightmare) x Hiyori (Kiryu), mentions of Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz) and Kouki (D=OUT) x Mahiro (Kiryu)
Disclaimer: Kiryu is property of BP Records, Nightmare is property of Avex, I own the story only.
Summary: After months of dating Hiyori, Sakito pops the question in the heat of the moment – in a very, very public forum. Now the two comic actors are finding themselves besieged by the press. Can they get a moment’s peace to plan their wedding?
Comments: For the September challenge at vkyaoi, which involved left-side guitarists (which was Sakito’s position in Nightmare), and for the Gags/Silence square of my Season of Kink card. The stripper sketch mentioned here was inspired by Saturday Night Live’s classic “Chippendale Dancer” skit, which featured Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley. Yomi and Sakito were said to have a not-exactly-smooth relationship, especially during the last days of Nightmare, hence their portrayal here. (See the end of the fic for another, spoileriffic note).

( In the nation of Veekay, getting married was serious business. )

Title: After Ever After: The Printed Page
Chapter: Part of an ongoing series of sequels to A Sort of Fairy Tale, sequel to The Pages’ Tale.
Author: Boots
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama
Warning: Just some language
Pairing: Mamo (R-Shitei) x Tacc (Lezard), mentions of Yo-ka (DIAURA) x Yuuki (Lycaon/Initial’L) and Natsume x Kosuke (Lezard), plus a past pairing that’s a spoiler for the fic.
Disclaimer: Lezard is property of Riostar Records, R-Shitei is property of SPEED DISK, Initial’L is property of Battle Cry Sound Company, I own the story only.
Summary: Tacc is sent by his employer, Yuuki, to deliver a message to a young noble who he has a contentious relationship with. Tacc finds himself starting a relationship with the man – only to find out he has a secret life, and there may be more to his rivalry with Yuuki than meets the eye.
Comments: Another belated entry for the June challenge at vkyaoi, which involves doing a story revolving around a band not featured in a fic on the community before. Neither R-Shitei nor Lezard had been tagged in the community before June. The Mamo in this fic was inspired by this photoset, although his basic appearance is closer to this photo.

( Working for Yuuki was a challenge. )

Title: After Ever After: The Page’s Tale
Chapter: Standalone sequel to the A Sort of Fairy Tale series.
Author: Boots
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama
Warning: Just some language
Pairing: Natsume x Kosuke (Lezard), mentions of Yo-ka (DIAURA) x Yuuki (Lycaon/Initial’L), Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz) and Hitomi (Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka).
Disclaimer: Lezard is property of Riostar Records, DIAURA is property of Ains, Gotcharocka is property of God Child Records, I own the story only.
Summary: Kosuke gets the opportunity of a lifetime to work at the palace as a royal page, a job full of opportunity and the potential for romance – although there’s whispers that some palace employees may not be there for the right reasons . . .
Comments: For the June challenge at vkyaoi, which involves doing a story revolving around a band not featured in a fic on the community before. I chose Lezard, who are one of the most adorable bands out there both in terms of appearance and music. I have not come across rumored real names for them, so the family names used here are simply names of historical Japanese high-born families. There have also never been any rumors that I know of about Sora and Jun being brothers; that’s just an idea I had after seeing pictures of Sora with pink hair in the “look” for their album Go!Go!Tokagex! (Sora is not “from Lezard” here because he was not an original member of the band; he joined last year after their original vocalist, Lime, departed.)

( Yo-ka and Toya were used to their father's requests by now. )

Title: After Ever After: The Lookalike Incident
Chapter: Standalone sequel to the A Sort of Fairy Tale series.
Author: Boots
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, humor
Warning: Just some language
Pairing: Tora x Saga (Alice Nine), mentions of Yo-ka (DIAURA) x Yuuki (Lycaon/Initial’L), Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz) and Shou x Hiroto (Alice Nine).
Disclaimer: Alice Nine/A9 used to belong to PS Company and are now free agents, DIAURA is property of Ains, Fest Vainqueur is property of Plug Records WEST, I own the story only.
Summary: Tora and Saga, aides to the Grand Duke of Alicenine, come to the nation of Veekay on a mission for their boss – only to run into a tangle of lookalikes and mistaken identity.
Comments: For the May challenge at vkyaoi, which involves J-rockers who look alike. I’ve long believed that Saga from Alice Nine and I’ll from Fest Vainqueur look like brothers – and this fic also plays on a very long-standing rumor that Toya of Gotcharocka and Tora of Alice Nine really ARE brothers. (As far as I know, the rumor goes all the way back to when Toya was with his former band, Charlotte.)

( Yo-ka's life had become even more frantic. )

Title: Silver Screen Fantasy – A Sidestory to After Ever After: Snowglobe Wishes
Chapter: Sidestory to After Ever After: Snowglobe Wishes, takes place about three-quarters of the way through that story. It’s probably necessary to have read this fic to fully appreciate this one.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama, smut
Warning: Male/male sex, rimming, prostate massage
Pairing: Sakito (Nightmare) x Hiyori (Kiryu)
Disclaimer: Kiryu (and their alter egos My Dragon) are property of BP Records, Nightmare (and their alter egos Sendai Kamotsu) are property of Avex, I own the story only.
Summary: Before comedians Hiyori and Sakito started dating, Sakito made a film that was considered rather racy. Hiyori is about to see it for the first time – which may lead to a new stage in their relationship.
Comments: Written for Season of Kink’s Holiday Season of Kink challenge, which involves using at least three kinks from the community’s list in a single fic. The kinks I chose were Pictures/Video, Rimming/Licking and First Time. (By the way, most technology in the universe of A Sort of Fairy Tale/After Ever After is on par with the 1930s/1940s – around the time the move A Christmas Story takes place – hence the idea of watching a movie in someone’s home being a novelty).

( The Nation of Veekay was liberal except when it came to sex in film. )

Title: After Ever After: Snowglobe Wishes
Chapter: Standalone sequel to the A Sort of Fairy Tale series.
Author: Boots
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama
Warning: Just some language
Pairing: Sakito (Nightmare) x Hiyori (Kiryu)
Disclaimer: Kiryu (and their alter egos My Dragon) are property of BP Records, Nightmare (and their alter egos Sendai Kamotsu) are property of Avex, I own the story only.
Summary: All Hiyori ever wanted was to see the comedy troupe he worshipped as a teenager get together one more time. And then, he finds himself performing in a strange, small town that features a legend of a snowglobe that grants wishes . . .
Comments: Written for the December challenge at VK Yaoi, which involves remixing the plot of a Hallmark Christmas movie. The film I chose was called Snow Globe Wishes on the list of films used on the community (although it aired under the title Christmas in Evergreen). The name of the Hallmark-like town in this fic, BTW, is Evergreen in Japanese. (This fic will eventually have a companion smut fic, which I’ll be using for a different challenge).

( Hiyori had a very specific goal in mind for all his showbiz skills. )

Title: After Ever After: The Hidden Prince
Chapter: Standalone sequel to the A Sort of Fairy Tale series.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama
Warning: Male-male sex, teasing, frottage
Pairing: Kouki (D=OUT) x Mahiro (Kiryu) (main), Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz), Yo-ka (DIAURA) x Yuuki (Lycaon/Initial'L), mentions of Hitomi (Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka)
Disclaimer: D=OUT belongs to Speed-Disk, Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, DIAURA belongs to Ains, Kiryu and Royz belong to B.P. Records, Initial'L is property of Battle Cry Sound Company. I own the story only.
Summary: Mahiro's life seems to be on the upswing – his comedy career (as a member of My Dragon, the troupe sponsored by Prince Yo-ka) is burgeoning, and there's the promise of romance with Kouki, brother of Prince Toya's significant other. And then, Yo-ka discovers a shattering secret that could upend the lives of both Mahiro and the royal family.
Comments: This universe plays fast and loose with the ages of my characters' real-life counterparts – here, Mahiro is a year older than Yo-ka, who is a bit less than two years older than Toya. In reality, from what I can tell, Toya is the oldest, then Mahiro, then Yo-ka. (And, yes, the real Kurosaki Mahiro does suffer from the same eye condition his fictional counterpart does here. I normally don't like using musicians' real problems in my fics, except the vision problem is something Mahiro has been open about – he even wrote a song about it on their most recent full-length album.)

( What better way to use wealth and power than to help people you liked get ahead in life? )

Title: After Ever After: Birthday Boy
Chapter: Sidestory to my last After Ever After story, The Fear of Forever

Pairing: Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz) (main), Hitomi (Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka), Yo-ka (DIAURA) x Yuuki (Lycaon/Initial'L)
Disclaimer: The now-disbanded Moran belonged to Speed-Disk, Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, DIAURA belongs to Ains, Royz belongs to B.P. Records, Initial'L is property of Battle Cry Sound Company. I own the story only.
Summary: It’s Toya’s first birthday since getting together with Subaru. It’s going to be marked with celebrations – public and private – but also, with gossip from people who aren’t exactly pleased with his choice of mate.
Comments: For the fabrics/feathers square of my Season of Kink card, and a birthday fic for Toya!

( No member of the royal family let a birthday pass without a public celebration. )

Title: After Ever After: The Fear of Forever
Chapter: Standalone sequel to the A Sort of Fairy Tale series. Also contains references to my fics set in the kingdom of Jiluka, His Prince's Knight and His Knight's Prince.

Rating: NC-17
Genre: Fairy tale AU, romance, drama

Pairing: Hitomi (Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka) (main), Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz), Yo-ka (DIAURA) x Yuuki (Lycaon/Initial'L), mentions of past Kamijo (Versailles) x Hitomi
Disclaimer: The now-disbanded Moran belonged to Speed-Disk, Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, DIAURA belongs to Ains, Royz belongs to B.P. Records, Initial'L is property of Battle Cry Sound Company. I own the story only.
Summary: Years ago, Hitomi and Jun were a couple, but an attack of commitmentphobia ended their relationship. Now, they're both coming to the palace to begin new careers and to attend Toya's birthday celebration. Can they overcome the hurts of the past and begin a new life together?
Comments: Yes, the jokes about Hitomi's big feet are because his real-life counterpart has, well, rather large ones. (Which don't detract from his overall appeal, of course).

( The princes figured something was up. )

Title: After Ever After: Love's Sweet Perfume

Disclaimer: DIAURA belongs to Ains, Royz belongs to B.P. Records, D and Gotcharocka belong to God Child Records, Fest Vainqueur belongs to PLUG RECORDS west, Initial’L is property of Battle Cry Sound Company. I own the story only.
Summary: Ruiza, a former Culling candidate, gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's asked by Prince Yo-ka to be the official royal perfumier. Tatsuya, a friend of Yo-ka's from school, already had opportunity in his life when he was named his friend's Undersecretary of the Exchequer. They come together for professional reasons, but the sparks that start flying aren't quite professional.
Comments: My first post-series fic in the A Sort of Fairy Tale universe! There will most likely be others about other people involved in the Culling. I just had to make Kazuki and Ruiza brothers after seeing a number of adorable pictures of the two hugging.

( Was this a date? )
