OK! All right! To the reveals ~

[cherryleaf]

Hello everyone~

We didn't think it would be possible, but the fourth edition of the Sakuraiba Exchange has come to an end! 

Of course, none of this would be possible without each and everyone of you who participated in the exchange by creating stories or art, betaing, or commenting. Thank you for being a part of this event and letting us organize it for another year. 

As promised, we are now ready to reveal to you who the authors of the fics you've read were, so, without further ado, let's get to revealing! 
 

🍒 The way to a man's heart from saana_13 to learashi 
→ Jobless and on the verge of eviction, Aiba is saved by a charming stranger in a weird, Cinderelly-story kind of way…

🍃 The best season from yuuki_nyanmaru to akatomidori
→ It was the last race of the season, and everything was finally in Sho’s favor. If only it weren’t for his rival, Aiba Masaki. 

🍒 Sharing is (eventually) caring from learashi to yuuki_nyanmaru
→ Sho and Aiba share a desk and switch between the office and working from home, so they are never there at the same time. They both get frustrated with how the other one organises the shared space and tell each other that through notes.
Annoyed by the problems that Aiba causes him, Sho can’t wait to finally meet him and tell him what he thinks about him. But when they do meet, Sho doesn’t expect Aiba to look… like this.

🍃 The Perfect Blend from akatomidori to saana_13
→ The owner of a cozy little tea shop, Sakurai Sho spends his days making tea after tea for his friends and customers while chasing after the long lost flavor of the perfect blend he can never get back. When his crush, Aiba Masaki, finds himself single, something starts brewing between them. Will that help him find what he’s looking for? 

Additionally, our returning artist created more beautiful art this year. Here are their fanarts again:
 

🍒 "Do you want to taste...?" by Tiny
Prompt: Aiba giving Sho a taste of his food.

🍃 "Nadegata at your service" by Tiny
Prompt: University AU: Aiba just fell asleep on Sho's shoulder while they're in class.

🍒 "Let's go home" by Tiny
Prompt: Sho and Aiba are walking home together and they're holding hands.

This was the round-up for this year's exchange! We hope you had fun with it and that we will be able to see each other again next year. Until then, we only wish good things and good health for you and your loved ones. 

Keep spreading the Sakuraiba love! ❤💚

Shara shara pon ✨

Your mods,
