Title: Tribal Elder: A Camera Eye Sidestory
Chapter: Sidestory to the most recent entry in the Camera Eye series, Incoming Storm. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama
Warnings: Nothing explicit, discussions of public sexual activity in the past.
Pairing: Mentions of Tatsuya (DIAURA) x Ruiza (D) and Sugizo (Luna Sea) x Yoshiki (X Japan)
Disclaimer: X Japan are property of Warner Music Japan, DIAURA are property of Ains, D are property of God Child Records, I own the story only.
Summary: Ruiza has been dragged into a mainstream media scandal, and it has him down. Fortunately, he runs across an industry veteran who gives him sage advice – and who just may be hiding a big secret . . .
Notes: Written for the

vkyaoi March challenge, The Test of Time, which involves using time as a theme and a secondary challenge of using elder VK statesmen in the plot. Yoshiki’s description of the beginning of the Japanese gay porn industry here is pure artistic license and is not intended to represent how it really happened. (And, yes, this is a very rare fic from me with no NC-17 content, but the story didn’t warrant it).

( Ruiza liked to think his life had been free of scandal. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Incoming Storm
Chapter: Installment 84 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, rimming, prostate massage
Pairing: Tatsuya (DIAURA) x Ruiza (D)
Disclaimer: DIAURA are property of Ains, D are property of God Child Records, I own the story only.
Summary: Ruiza is happy in career and love, but that threatens to come crashing down when an old friend gets dragged through media fire for very scandalous reasons – and threatens to take Ruiza with him.
Notes: Yep, this is a Law and Order-style “ripped from the headlines” story. Arashi isn’t based on any particular J-rocker, but if you know what his name means in Japanese . . .

( It was a good year until the perfect media storm. )

Title: The Camera Eye: The Impossible Dream
Chapter: Installment 83 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, rimming, dirty talk
Pairing: Sakito (Nightmare) x Hiyori (Kiryu)
Disclaimer: Kiryu are property of BP Records, Nightmare are property of Avex, The GazettE is property of PS Company, I own the story only.
Summary: Sakito may seem to have done it all in his long adult video career, but there’s one dream he hasn’t fulfilled yet – making a video of a legendary gay erotic romance novel. His new lover Hiyori encourages him to make the dream a reality – but there may be even more standing in his way than he thought.
Notes: For the What Dreams May Come January challenge at vkyaoi, under which you have to incorporate dreams (either the nighttime or aspirational variety) into the plot.

( People thought Sakito had done it all. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Year-End Bonus
Chapter: Installment 82 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, mirrors
Pairing: Sakito (Nightmare) x Hiyori (Kiryu)
Disclaimer: Kiryu are property of BP Records, Nightmare are property of Avex, D is property of God Child Records, The GazettE is property of PS Company, I own the story only.
Summary: Ruiza wants to bring an old friend into the PSC Productions fold. Perpetual single guy Hiyori made a New Year’s wish last year for a boyfriend within the next 12 months – which hasn’t come true. But maybe the festive season has one more miracle in it that can help both of them . . .
Notes: I’ve been concentrating on the After Ever After series as of late, so this is my first Camera Eye since October – the longest gap ever between installments of the series. (And, yes, I kind of fell in love with this crack pairing doing the last AEA, so I decided to find a way to bring them into Camera Eye as well). Sakito and Ruiza do have somewhat of a real life connection, BTW, as Sakito has been a session musician for the solo projects of Ruiza’s bandmate Asagi.

( Ruiza wanted to recruit his friend at all costs. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Fear Itself
Chapter: Installment 81 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, spanking, sex toys
Pairing: Hitomi (Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka)
Disclaimer: The now-disbanded Moran were property of SpeedDisk, Gotcharocka is property of God Child Records, I own the story only.
Summary: Hitomi is usually very much in the mood for love when he and Jun get together – until one night when the mood vanishes entirely. Jun tries to find out why – and learns Hitomi is dealing with something that he finds quite embarrassing . . .
Notes: Written for vkyaoi's October challenge, Your Darkest Fears. The fear used here is dentophobia, and it's something I've personally dealt with for most of my life. My experience and reactions are pretty much the same as Hitomi's here.

( Date Night usually involved a lot of advance coordination and logistics. )

Title: The Camera Eye: The Quitters Club
Chapter: Installment 80 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, 69, tattoo/piercing worship
Pairing: Tatsuya (DIAURA) x Ruiza (D)
Disclaimer: DIAURA is property of Ains, D is property of God Child Records, Codomo Dragon is property of BP Records, I own the story only.
Summary: Tatsuya has never risen above a bit player in videos, and he's ready to turn his back on the adult film industry for good. Little does he realize a group of filmmakers have plans for him – that involve someone else who nearly quit the business.
Notes: Yes, the reference to Kisaki Exes Club is because Ruiza, Jun and Jui have all been associated with Kisaki in some form or another – Ruiza through Syndrome, Jun through Phantasmagoria and Jui because Vidoll were launched by Matina/Under Code.

( Tatsuya had gotten himself a reputation as one of the most solid utility players in the industry. )

Title: The Camera Eye: The Last Lonely Man
Chapter: Installment 79 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, lap dancing, tattoo/piercing worship
Pairing: Junji (Kiryu) x Gaku (Fest Vainqueur) (main), mentions of Junji x Mahiro x Subaru x Tomoya (Royz), Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru, Tomoya x Kazi (Fest Vainqueur), Hitomi (Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka) and Jui (Gotcharocka) x Mahiro
Disclaimer: Royz and Kiryu are property of BP Records, Gotcharocka is property of God Child Records, Fest Vainqueur belongs to PLUG RECORDS west, I own the story only.
Summary: Junji has been the odd man out in his polyamorous foursome – all of his lovers have side boyfriends, while he doesn't. He's happy for them, but also a bit envious. But then, he accidentally bumps into a very pretty someone at a house party . . .
Notes: I blame thehamhamheaven for this – her story What Colour is Love has such amazing chemistry between her Junji and Gaku that my own Junji muse wanted a Gaku of his own. Sequel to the previous Camera Eye story, The Honest Image.

( Anyone given use of a house would throw a house party. )

Title: The Camera Eye: The Honest Image
Chapter: Installment 78 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, exhibitionism, dirty talk
Pairing: Junji x Mahiro (Kiryu) (main), mentions of Junji x Mahiro x Subaru x Tomoya (Royz) and Jui (Gotcharocka) x Mahiro
Disclaimer: Royz and Kiryu are property of BP Records, Gotcharocka is property of God Child Records, I own the story only.
Summary: Mahiro's surprise selection to a semi-mainstream magazine's porn power list has resulted in a lot of unexpected, lucrative offers for him. So why does he feel like something is wrong every time he steps in front of their cameras?
Notes: For the Pictures/Video square of my Season of Kink card. This story is a followup to an earlier Camera Eye story, One in a Dozen. It can be read as a standalone, but makes more sense if you've read the earlier fic.

( Recognition came his way from the strangest of places. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Hidden Features
Chapter: Installment 77 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, object penetration, spanking, dirty talk
Pairing: Yo-ka (DIAURA) x MiA (Mejibray)
Disclaimer: DIAURA is property of AINS, Mejibray is property of White Side Group, the GazettE is property of PSC, I own the story only.
Summary: Aoi shows up on the set of Uruha’s most elaborate project to date seeking tie-in promotion for his latest line of erotic products. But his product has a very hot secret feature that only gets discovered by a couple of curious testers . . .
Notes: For the Object Penetration square of my Season of Kink card. Thanks to thehamhamheaven who gave me the idea of lube-bottle-as-toy!

( This production was a first on several fronts. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Beauty is Truth
Chapter: Installment 76 overall in The Camera Eye series. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, teasing
Pairing: Hayato (Codomo Dragon) x Sena (Jiluka) (main), Hayato x Kana (Codomo Dragon)
Disclaimer: Codomo Dragon belongs to BP Records, Jiluka belongs to DPR Japan, I own the story only.
Summary: Hayato is having a great career as a filmmaker, but he feels underappreciated as an actor – and a cruel trade paper article makes him feel even worse. And then, someone comes into his life who also feels unappreciated – although his issues are very different than Hayato’s.
Notes: For the August challenge at VK Yaoi, during which participants were asked to write a story involving members of a band the writer considers underappreciated, with underappreciation as a theme. I just had to feature Codomo Dragon, who, IMHO, are the single most underrated band in contemporary VK - despite being on BP Records alongside the much better-known Royz and Kiryu. (Some of their best songs, IMHO - Hemlock, Viper, Kono Sekai wa Owari Da, Sodom.) Also featured in this story, and also deserving of attention, is the up-and-coming band Jiluka. Their singles and lead-songs-of-their-EPs can best be described as progressive metalcore, but their coupling songs reveal a greater depth - they're a group to watch. (If you like Mejibray, definitely give these guys a go.) Here's a few of their PVs: Divine Error, Faizh, Lluvia. On an unrelated story note - Ron Jeremy, mentioned here, was very much a star of the so-called Golden Age of Porn - the '70s to '80s, when films were being showcased in theaters and a lot more attention was being paid to female performers than male ones. (All pornos were considered to be for the straight male gaze then - the men were Gary Stu stand-ins for the viewer. Men liked seeing guys who looked like them get beautiful women. Fortunately, the industry has since reconsidered its taste in male performers - although Jeremy has gone on to be arguably the most famous male porn star of all time.)

( Succesful as a director, underrated as a star . . . )

Title: The Camera Eye: The Boy With The Butterfly Tattoo
Chapter: Installment 75 overall in The Camera Eye series, and the 27th story in Season 3. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, rimming, tattoo worship, mirrors
Pairing: Hitomi (ex-Moran) x Jun (Gotcharocka) (main), Jui x Jun x Toya (Gotcharocka), mentions of Jui x Mahiro (Kiryu) and Toya x Subaru (Royz), past Kamijo (Versailles) x Hitomi
Disclaimer: Royz and Kiryu belong to BP Records, Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, the now-disbanded Moran belonged to Speed-Disk, I own the story only.
Summary: Years ago, Jun had a crush on another performer he desperately wanted to work with – until the man suddenly vanished from the porn industry. Now, a journey into his past is about to make his dreams come true in a way he didn't expect.
Notes: The pink film industry, mentioned here, was a huge part of Japan's pop culture of the '70s and '80s – it was, as noted here, a mixture of softcore porn and violent action peculiar to Japan. (Pink videos are still being produced, but they're more of a cult thing now.) Jun's aunt was named after two actual performers in the industry – Ike Reiko and Tama Rumi, the latter of whom eventually became a power behind the camera as well. (The aunt character is totally fictitious – as far as I know, the real Jun has no relatives in any aspect of entertainment, let alone pink film). Hitomi's past relationship with Kamijo here is largely based on a damn hot photoshoot the two did together when both were with previous bands – Hitomi was known as Sanaka when he was with Fatima (which also, believe it or not, included Nao from Alice Nine.) And, yes, the beach resort talked about here is a real resort!

( For someone in the gay porn industry, being on a general pop culture podcast was exceptional. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Consolation Prize
Chapter: Installment 74 overall in The Camera Eye series, and the 26th story in Season 3. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, sex toys
Pairing: Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz), Jui x Jun x Toya (Gotcharocka), mentions of Tomoya x Subaru (both Royz) x Junji x Mahiro (both Kiryu) and Tomoya x Kazi (Fest Vainqueur, and I am still in denial about him leaving).
Disclaimer: Royz and Kiryu belong to BP Records, Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, I own the story only.
Summary: Jun feels guilty about Toya not being able to come with him and Jui to the Gilded Gala, a huge social event. But Toya has his own plans on how to spend the evening, and they involve Subaru and a certain recent purchase.
Notes: Takes place just before and during The Camera Eye: One in a Dozen; you pretty much have to have read that fic to fully understand this one. For the Sex Toys square of my Season of Kink card. Pink film, mentioned by Toya here, is a type of violent softcore porn that is particular to Japan.

( It was a reminder of what it was like to be a three-way relationship in a couples-only world. )

Title: The Camera Eye: One in a Dozen
Chapter: Installment 73 overall in The Camera Eye series, and the 25th story in Season 3. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, foursome, rimming, sex toys
Pairing: Jui (Gotcharocka) x Junji (Kiryu) x Jun (Gotcharocka) x Mahiro (Kiryu), Jui x Jun, Junji x Mahiro, Junji x Mahiro x Subaru x Tomoya (both Royz), some Aoi (GazettE) x Kazuki (SCREW)
Disclaimer: Royz and Kiryu belong to BP Records, Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, GazettE belongs to PS Company, I own the story only.
Summary: As the fallout from the JAVA Awards continues, Mahiro suddenly finds himself with an unprecedented honor from a “gentleman's magazine.” But why was he chosen when gay porn was far from the publication's usual business?
Notes: Mahiro and Junji are wearng the Etsu to Utsu costumes to the Gilded Gala. Jui and Jun are wearing the Royale outfits (same as the JAVA Awards). As far as I know, no “gentlemen's magazines” have given out honors to porn stars, although one of the major news sites (I believe CNN) did once carry a Dirty Dozen list of top stars in the adult video industry.

( This year, the fallout from the JAVAs was a bit different. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Trophy Boys 4 – Blank is the New Black
Chapter: Installment 72 overall in The Camera Eye series, and the 24th story in Season 3. Links to previous installments can be found here.
Author: Boots
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, fivesome, rimming
Pairing: Toya (Gotcharocka) x Subaru (Royz) x Tomoya (Royz) x Junji (Kiryu) x Kazi (Fest Vainqueur), Hiro x HAL (Fest Vainqueur), Toya x Subaru, Junji x Mahiro (Kiryu) x Subaru x Tomoya, Jui x Jun x Toya (all Gotcharocka), MiA x Koichi (both Mejibray), various side pairings.
Disclaimer: Royz, Kiryu and Codomo Dragon belong to BP Records, Gotcharocka and D belong to God Child Records, Mejibray belongs to White Side Group, GazettE belongs to PS Company, D=OUT belongs to Speed Disc, Initial'L belongs to Battle Cry Sound Company, DIAURA belongs to Ains, Fest Vainqueur belongs to PLUG RECORDS west, I own the story only.
Summary: The biggest night in the industry, the JAVA Awards, has arrived. Toya finds himself nominated for the first time, Subaru has jitters over being a presenter, Hayato is out for the ultimate fanboy experience and Koichi is about to unveil a red carpet outfit like no other.
Notes: The outfits the main characters in this story are wearing are the following looks: Kiryu characters, Watashi wa Kairai, Sarugutsuwa no Ningyo; Royz characters, Raven; Codomo Dragon characters, Wolfman; Fest Vainqueur characters, Higanbana ~ Oirandouchuu, Gotcharocka characters, Kyousou Royale. Koichi's outfit is from Rock and Read 59 and MiA's from Cure 160 (except his headpiece is more of a metal circlet with a jewel in the middle of it, not the crown he wore on that cover). Ruiza's is from his solo mini-album, One. This fic was mostly written before I found out about Kazi's departure from Fest Vainqueur; the real-life event is not going to affect his fictional counterpart's standing in this ficverse.

( If you were in the industry, the JAVAs were your Christmas. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Fated

Rating: NC-17
Genre: Porn industry AU, drama, smut, romance
Warnings: Male/male sex, polyamory, threesome
Pairing: Hiro x HAL (Fest Vainqueur)
Disclaimer: Fest Vainqueur belongs to PLUG RECORDS west, I own the story only.
Summary: Hiro is finally getting to write the screenplay he’s wanted to do for years, and he has people in mind for every role but one. Someone he knows well really wants that role, and is ready to convince him that he’s worthy of it.
Notes: Closely related to the last Camera Eye story, Our Kind of Party. And, yes, there is such a thing as a Waters of Love Shower – it’s at the El Dorado Casitas Royale resort in Mexico’s Riviera Maya (they call it Aguas de Amor).

( He couldn't get distracted, this screenplay meant too much to him. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Our Kind of Party

Disclaimer: Royz and Kiryu belong to BP Records, Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, Fest Vainqueur belongs to PLUG RECORDS west, I own the story only.
Summary: Subaru, Mahiro and Tomoya have all been nominated for JAVA awards, and they celebrate with their friends from The Diamond Mine at a party fueled by strong drinks and stronger libidos. But there’s something about the upcoming ceremony that’s making Subaru uneasy.
Notes: Companion piece to the last Camera Eye story, Somebody Else’s Party – this takes place the same day.

( Subaru found out he was a nominee before he was even awake. )

Disclaimer: Gotcharocka belongs to God Child Records, Fest Vainqueur belongs to PLUG RECORDS west, I own the story only.
Summary: The Diamond Mine, the company founded by Jun and Jui which Toya has always been a part of, has always been neglected by the JAVA Awards. So why do they suddenly have multiple nominations?
Notes: Just something short to get me back into the groove of writing after being out of commission for nearly two months with a ruptured appendix.

( The men of The Diamond Mine had gotten used to not being nominated at this point. )

Title: The Camera Eye: Just a Number 2/2

Summary: Subaru has a brand-new co-star for a video shoot in Hokkaido. Things are going wonderfully for them both off- and on-camera – until Subaru finds out something about him . . .
Notes: The Camera Eye returns after having been on hiatus for a few months while I wrote A Sort of Fairy Tale (and then took a hiatus from writing altogether for about a month after I finished that monster)! It seems that these two muses, the stars of Fairy Tale, aren't ready to let go of each other yet! Yes, Furano is a real ski resort in Hokkaido, it really has an ice bar and it's really served by Do Airlines, the official airline of Hokkaido!

( Subaru knew what kind of guys weren't his type. )

Summary: Kazi and Hiro are best buddies who've been through ups and downs in their personal and professional lives. Now, they're embarking on a new chapter of their careers thanks to an incredible stroke of luck – which also brings a very attractive man into their path.
Notes: Sort of a sidestory to the last Camera Eye fic, Snow White and the Seven Porn Stars (Plus One) – it helps to have read that one before this.

( It was deja vu all over again. )
