I am so glad you wrote this. You have a definite skill in dealing with difficult emotions.
But here's the thing that really was important to me about this fic: I don't like fivesome fics. I find them completely and utterly unbelievable. But this, this told an entirely different story. It said that it is not always happy, it is not always good, and that if you think it's too good to be true it probably is. There is going to be a measure of selfishness, there is going to be someone who doesn't quite fit in, there are going to be those that don't like it quite how it is but will take what they can get.
People don't really like to touch that topic with Arashi; it's all about the group love. And I think they love each other, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't cause problems and heartbreak if a fivesome were to occur. And you handled it with finesse.
