Hey again! This is a summary of this fic where I'll pretty much summarize the events in each chapter(duh...), and then discuss future fics, and also do something I feel like is an interesting thing to do... an award ceremony.
Anyways, first things first, a summary of this fanfiction chapter by chapter. You may choose not to read it.
Chapter 1
Hachiman is a part-time taxi driver who on his last day of taxi driving, is waiting for clients at an airport. A young woman approaches him and asks for his service. He's told to drive her to her home for which she gives him the address. As he couldn't care less about the woman, they didn't make any eye-contact throughout the entire journey, during which the woman asks him to pick her up again at a certain time as she has to attend an audition for a talent competition in which her friend is participating in. Only when Hachiman sees the name of the family written outside the destination, he and subsequently her as well, recognised each other's identity... because the woman was Yukinoshita Yukino all along. After spending some time with Yukino and her sister, Hachiman sets off, but not before realising that the 'friend' of Yukino's who'll be participating in the competition, is undoubtedly Yuigahama Yui. As he comes back to pick her up again , it's revealed that he now owns a car. He drives Yukino to the audition centre where she goes inside with a ticket, whilst Hachiman decides to watch the auditions from a nearby cafeteria. In the auditions, Yui performs very well and thus qualifies. Yukino greets her after the auditions and leads her into Hachiman's car. This is where Hachiman reveals his identity to Yui, and thus the reunion is complete.
Chapter 2
After the reunion which had to wait 6 years, Hachiman drives the two women into a bar where they consume some alcohol. This is where Hachiman becomes very drowzy and allows the other two to play some pranks on him. In the end, as Hachiman falls sound asleep, Yui decides to stay with him as he sleeps inside his car whilst Yukino goes home. This is when Yui reveals how she feels that the happiness from the reunion is very temporary based on how she could end up moving to Tokyo because of her increasing fame. The next morning, Hachiman drives Yui home and then returns home himself. This is where he finds out that he's received a letter from a novel editing company in Tokyo which exclusively invites him over to Tokyo to work for them. As he's determined to follow his dream, he decides to accept the offer whilst also recalling how his reunion with Yukino and Yui was hyped for nothing. Meanwhile, Haruno approaches Yukino and tells her that she would have to go to Tokyo in order to attend a meeting because Haruno wouldn't be able to. Furthermore, Yukino is also advised to stay in Tokyo and pursue a career there. Yukino is convinced by the advice and decides to move to Tokyo, whilst also feeling sad about the fact that the whole service club reunion would have all been for nothing. The three main characters text each other and subsequently meet up near a shopping mall where they all reveal how their futures will be set in Tokyo.
Chapter 3
After the revelation, the three express their shock and happiness at the fact that not one of them, but ALL of them will be moving to Tokyo. Meanwhile, Komachi arrives at the scene and invites both Yui and Yukino to a meal at their house. As it turns out, Kawasaki Saki(who had been Hachiman's only friend during the past 6 years) and her brother Taishi were also invited to the lunch. As Hachiman already has a hate for Taishi, it increases when Taishi tricks him into revealing one of his embarrassing secrets. In return, Hachiman decides to play a joke where he doesn't let him use the toilet as he gets more and more desperate for it. Eventually, after everything is over and the guests are about to leave, Hachiman finds out that Yui and Yukino are planning on a road trip for the three of them. Whilst discussing about this trip, Saki enters and says that she has a request.
Chapter 4
Saki reveals that she feels her younger sister Keika is being mistreated at school. As a result, they arrange to meet Keika the next day at Hachiman's house. Only Yukino is able to see through Saki's lie, and as a result, doesn't attend the meet-up. She knew that Saki wanted to spend some time with her potentially only friend before he leaves the city. The problem was that Yui ended up attending the meet-up whilst Yukino wanted Saki to spend time alone with Hachiman. As a result, Yukino had to come to the rescue as she arrived at the scene alongside Hiratsuka-sensei. Whilst Keika's acting was good enough to not let anyone suspect Saki, Hiratsuka-sensei ended up removing Keika from the scene by saying that she can take over the request whilst all she did was drop her home because Keika never had any school problems to start with. Meanwhile, upon Yukino's secret advice, Saki goes on to request Hachiman to go to some car showrooms and recommend cars for her brother. Because of 'recommending cars' being something Yui has no clue about, Yukino is able to convince her to return home and do some packing, leaving Saki alone with Hachiman. They take a trip to the showroom after which Hachiman goes on to drop Kawasaki home where they share an emotional farewell.
Chapter 5(Filler)
After the farewell, whilst Hachiman is making his way back home, the violent weather forces him to enter a cafe where he finds Yukino and Hiratsuka-sensei, and thus joins the pair. After sharing few moments of banter, sensei leaves as Yukino is left alone with Hachiman. Yukino recommends Hachiman to go on a city tour with her, which he ends up doing. In order to avoid having a dinner potentially too exorbitant for him, Hachiman comes with an escape plan which involves an alleyway. This was where they're attacked by some gangsters who almost forced them into giving all of their valuables, had it not been for Zaimokuza Yoshiteru who, alongside Hachiman, were able to defeat the gangsters. Zaimokuza then goes on to invite Hachiman and Yukino to his place where they have dinner, whilst Hachiman notices the unfortunate state of their family. Yukino reveals her disappointment after they left as she leads him eventually to a cinema hall where they ended up watching the premiere of a Pan-san movie.
Chapter 6(Sort of a filler)
After bidding farewell to his family, Hachiman joins his two ex-clubmates as they begin their road trip. As the car journey was to be very long, eventually a tire goes flat. In the midst of nowhere, they needed to do something out of the ordinary in order to get help. Due to the road being in an area close to tourist attractions, the people Hachiman asks help from, are all from different nationalities, hence he encounters different languages and cultures as he asks for help. Eventually, he gets help in the form of Kakeru Tobe who gives him a lift to a workshop after which everything is sorted out. Once Hachiman returns, he finds the mood to be quite dull because of how Yui answered an important call for Yukino in an extremely rude way(due to a misunderstanding of course). Hachiman then plays an uplifting song in the car as they drive away.
Chapter 7(Filler)
Hachiman has a dream where he's 15 again and in the hospital after the accident occurred, where he thinks that everything that happened in real life was just a dream. He then wakes up in his hotel room to realise that it was a dream after all. After breakfast, the three restart their journey where after a long day of touring, the two women fall asleep whilst Hachiman drives on. This is when Yui and Yukino have similar dreams to Hachiman's. However, after Yukino's dream finishes, she finds Hachiman's face directly above her which she ends up kissing. She feels scared for what she did, but then she realises that that was a dream too.
Chapter 8(Sort of a filler)
The road trip is over as the three arrive at Yukino's house. After placing the already asleep Yukino in her bed, Hachiman goes to sleep in a different room whilst Yui goes to sleep alongside Yukino. Due to being constantly pushed around, Yui ends up subconsciously walking towards Hachiman's room and ends up sleeping next to him. Yukino finds out about it and has the obvious misunderstanding. After some awkward moments, the misunderstanding is cleared on the dining table during breakfast. After discussing their future plans whilst finishing breakfast, Hachiman leaves to prepare himself for his first day at work. Chapter ends with him just walking inside the building where he'll work.
Chapter 9
On his first day of work, he meets three important people: Takahiro i.e. the fellow loner who was asked to show Hachiman around the building; Sarutobi i.e. the only other person in the company who had been exclusively invited to work there(apart from Hachiman); and Yoshitori i.e. the CEO of the company. In his first day, he establishes some sort of a friendship with Takahiro and a rivalry with Sarutobi. Sarutobi's attitude was so bad that Hachiman constantly felt like there was something he should do about it. Eventually, Yoshitori, after being impressed by Sarutobi's speaking, takes him aside to discuss some things whilst Hachiman and Takahiro leave the building after the working hours finished. Takahiro invites Hachiman into a nearby cafe where Hachiman agrees to go into once he's told that the TV would show the semi-final of the talent competition where Yui is participating in. Hachiman watches Yui's performance which was by no means fantastic, but at the same time... really good. He still wanted her to go through to the finale thus ended up requesting pretty much everyone he knows to vote for Yui. As a result, Yui ends up winning by 2 votes, purely because of Hachiman's added help. And therefore, she qualifies to the finale.
Chapter 10
Hachiman and Yukino strictly tell Yui to not be so complacent for her next performance, after which Yukino also states that the meeting she'll be attending is having a party afterwards. For this party, she invites Hachiman but doesn't invite Yui as her punishment. Obviously Hachiman rejects at first but the offer of free food ended up being the trigger for him to agree. Once Hachiman gets there, Yukino discusses one of the reasons for why she invited him. She wanted to have a private conversation with Yoshitori who also happened to be at the party. However, Yoshitori had also invited Sarutobi to the party therefore Yukino wasn't able to do so. As a result, she requests Hachiman to take Sarutobi out of the scene, a request which he fulfils easily. The two men encounter each other in a washroom as a result. Their confrontation ends in Hachiman getting physically beaten up. After hiding his injuries for the remainder of the party, whilst in the car with Yukino, he's reluctant to let her know about it. This is where he reveals to her his plan of retaliation. This plan was originally made days before the party when Hachiman found out from Takahiro that Sarutobi had been requested by Yoshitori to make his speech for the newcomers' ceremony in English. The will to go through with the plan increased after the events at the party. Due to Takahiro being good at English, Sarutobi goes to him in need of help with the speech. After persuasion from Hachiman, Takahiro gives the English version of the speech to him instead, which he decides to manipulate.
Chapter 11
Hachiman hands the manipulated version of the speech to Takahiro who then passes it on to Sarutobi. Before the day of the ceremony arrives, Hachiman invites both Yui and Yukino to attend it as guests. Yui agrees however, to Hachiman's mild confusion, Yukino rejects. During the ceremony, the vice-chairman(who is also the head of the department in which Hachiman works in), announces his resignation. Regardless, the ceremony carries on as the newcomers introduce themselves one by one. Eventually, once Sarutobi's speech begins, it turned out to be so embarrassingly outrageous, he was almost kicked off the building had Hachiman not interrupted and gave a little speech himself which somehow managed to save Sarutobi from that fate. As Hachiman triumphantly took his seat in the audience, Yoshitori reveals the name of the new vice-chairman. Much to Hachiman's annoyance, that name was Yukinoshita Yukino.
Chapter 12
On the day of the finale of the competition, Hachiman drives himself and Yukino to the theatre whilst having to hear her annoy him further about the vice-chairman situation. Once they get there, after about two performances, it was Yui's turn. She ended up surprising everyone by putting up an outstanding performance. Whilst the other contestants performed, Hachiman left to get himself some snacks. This was where he spotted a silver-haired man who is later in the chapter, revealed to be Taishi. They both ate from the same stall and said stall happened to serve unhealthy food. As a result, right before the ranking announcement begins, Hachiman feels the urge to go to the toilet. There was only one cubicle in the washroom which was fit for use, however it was occupied by Taishi. Once Hachiman knocks to ask him to hurry up, Taishi ends up playing the same trick that Hachiman played on him during chapter 3. After everything was sorted out, Hachiman tried to make his way back inside the hall but was stopped by Taishi who had been waiting to tell him something. He tells him that his family, including Saki, were moving houses. But instead of giving Hachiman the address of the new house, he also reveals that Saki decided to not let him know about the address as she felt it was time to end their friendship, much to Hachiman's sorrow. After somewhat trying to accept what he was just told, Hachiman makes his way back into the hall where the ranking announcement resumes as eventually the top 2 remain, which included Yui. Initially, the host announced the winner to be Yui but after a few minutes of celebration, he walks back to the stage to reveal that it was a mistake and that the real winner was someone else. This leaves Yui devastated and she still had a performance remaining. Looking at her sorry state, Yukino decides to join Yui on the stage as they then go on to sing a song together. When the audience asked for more, the pair invited Hachiman onstage who ended up playing the drums as they performed one final song together. *Fast forward*... A few months later, Hachiman is back in Chiba where he's joined by Haruno and Isshiki at Saizeriya. He finishes describing the whole story to them, after which the three eventually celebrate his birthday, and then leave. The reason behind why he was back at Chiba was because he was asked by Yukino to appoint a certain rookie costume designer for the music video for the song recently made by Yui. After spending some time with his family, Hachiman sets off towards the address which was provided to him by Yukino. He knocks on the door, only to find out that the person behind it was none other than one of his only friends, who he thought he had lost... Kawasaki Saki.
[Story end.]

ImaNukeYourFace:
"*drops sick beat*
Yo.. my dawg...
I don't know what's goin on here
But peg me as a rapper? Dude...
Das not part o my career.
My thanks for the acknowledgement
I quite liked how this chapter went
But there was one complaint I sent...
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat!?
Sixth place!?
C'MON, MAN!
IMA NUKE YO FACE!
But as I left that made-up show
And went back to my neighborhood
I decided then and there I would
Need a better strat next time I go
So I won't make the same mistake twice
Yo, next time I won't play so nice
Pro, Ima ring up in the line
Kawasaki's family next time!
Then all you dancers, prancers and vixens
Gonna crash like a comet, and ima be blitzen
Straight to the front, to the top o the line
And you all gon surrender to the magic of my rhyme!
And so I, from my spot,
at the base of the mountain
Feelin like an outcast
Or maybe like an 8man
Swore my vengeance:
Next time, ima win this race!
How I gonna do it?
IMA NUKE YO FACE!
OUT!
*drops mic*
God, that was fun."
Well well well... I have waited way too long for this. Dear ImaNukeYourFace, as a predator, I refuse to remain nuked in the face. Therefore, wha- *Achoo* Umm... whoops... that wasn't meant to ha-*Achoo* Man what the hell is going on? Did I just say 'hachooman'? Anyways, it feels like UK VS USA as we head into round 2 of this rap battle. Yeah... I know it's weird. So I'll just time-waste with some trash talking...
People from USA can't beat people from UK because we have something special that you don't. Yeah exactly... the letter 'K'. I know you're thinking that UK doesn't have the letters 'S' and 'A'. But 'cause I don't give a F-UK... U can S-UK mA D-UK. Anyways, here goes my rap...
*Even sicker beat*
*Some more of that shit*
*Oh yeah...*
The next award... is for the most flattering review in this fic i.e. the review that made me the happiest. There were many to choose from, and if I was some normal guy I'd have said "EVERYONE GETS AN AWARD!" but no... the award goes to...
Guest: "Just like gintama of fanfictions." Whoever this guest is... thanks m8. When I scrolled through all the reviews, I went on a flashback to what I felt when I first saw each review. And for some reason, the flashback for this review was the happiest. There's nothing I can really say apart from that. If there's someone reading this who can come up with a good pun/joke, be my 'guest'.
The next award... is for the review which had the most impact on the story. And it goes to...
dragonballaca: "would be great if hikigaya was dating someone insignificant from the series or saki or oc." Had this review not been posted, the whole thing with saki wouldn't have happened. I don't know what would've happened but I can at least say that the Saki bit was simply not gonna happen. We might have had a very different story from what we ended up with.
The next award... is for the most destructive review i.e. the review that was the most negative but not in a critical way. And it goes to...
Original Zero - Daige: "The fucking fourth wall breaking in this chapter ruined what could have been a great story. With Pan-change the panda taking breaks to focus on one, new story and you ruining Growth by breaking the fourth wall, I can't find too many good stories for this fandom. Hell, because of you only Pan-chan and gnt000q have decent stories.
Sorry bro, but you suck"
Oooouuuch! I felt like mentioning this because destructive reviews are all part of a fanfiction. And to be honest, considering how this fic isn't THAT popular, I'm quite pleased with how the amount of destructive reviews were quite low. Just a question though... is there some sort of trend in this website where everyone seems to have a username with 'Zero' in it?
Anyways, the next award, is for the most detailed review. And without a shadow of a doubt, it goes to... (you don't have to read through it)
Guest: "The fic is entertaining, your grammar doesn't have any noticeable errors, and your characterization, though a bit flanderized, seems on point.
However, I take big issue to your choice to have the characters sing English songs during the fic's musical moments. This is an especially jarring issue with regards to Yuigahama's singing career. It's pretty much established both in canon and this fic, multiple times in fact, that Yuigahama is a dunce. However, you have her singing multiple English pop songs, and then you have multiple people praise her for her singing, including a judge parodying Simon Cowell, who would have probably noticed this issue and derided her for it. Does he know English too, along with the song in question? Because you make it seem as if he does, with the way he specifically praised her feelings being analogous to the original song. Are we supposed to believe that Yuigahama, in 6 years, has competently mastered English pronunciation to the point where her covers can match the original performers, who have had their entire lives to do such a thing? This coming from a girl who struggles with Japanese, her native language, after 24 years? If so, you need to establish that, and if you have, that establishment should be improved, for me at least. Maybe establish that she's been practicing English songs in particular for those 6 years. But in that case, why be a pop star in Japan? How do we know she can sing Japanese songs? How did she even find out about those songs?
I point this out because no matter how good a singer's voice is, if they cannot fluently pronounce their lyrics, they'll be laughed out of any professional stage, without fail. And you cannot simply say that the songs were translated into Japanese because a direct translation of lyrics would affect the entire performance structure of the song. It would affect the timing of the lyrics and how they correspond to the beat, and the annunciation of the lyrics. The song would likely be completely unrecognizable, and also hilariously garbled. Now I don't know if these songs were competently translated, so if they were, then this point, at least for Yui, is rendered moot. But if they weren't, I doubt Yui would have the capability to perform her song in fluent English to a degree where she impresses three Japanese judges. If this scenario plays out, this would change the entire plot of your fic, and that's another reason why I say you need to flesh this out more.
This issue with Western culture being forcibly injected into places where it likely wouldn't belong also affects Hachiman, but to a lesser degree of urgency. First of all, I doubt Hachiman would buy an Audi over, say, any Japanese carmaker. He has too much pride in his Japanese heritage to do that. Also, Audi's tend to be on the lavish side of cost by themselves, and to get one into Japan, Hachiman would likely have to pay import costs as well, and I'm not sure that's something he can afford. Hachiman also has the same issue as Yui, especially in this chapter. In the same chapter, you establish that Hachiman cannot hold a basic conversation in English, for comedic effect. And that's fine. But later in the chapter, you have him and Yui sing a Blink 182 song, likely in English. He would have to know English decently well to know what the song is about, and he has to know what the song is about to do the call and respose you seem to indicate here. How would a Japanese man, who likely doesn't keep up with even the pop music of his own country, know about a Western band like Blink 182?
There's likely some things I'm forgetting to say here, but this comment's long enough. I would love to hear your perspective on this."
Whoever you are, thanks a lot for spending your time writing this review. I respect you a lot for writing such a detailed review with Yukinoshita level vocabulary, but here's one instance where it got a bit annoying. In the review where you responded to me responding to your review, instead of saying something like "how you went about addressing the issues really helped me understand", you said "how you went about addressing the issues alleviated my conscience". W-Whaaaaaaaaat? Excuse me... "alleviated my conscience"? I mean... I don't know whether to be annoyed at you for using extreme level vocabulary unnecessarily, or be even more respectful towards you because you're an Oxford student.
Anyways, the next, and the final award, I shall present to the translator of this fic into Russian...
... liquette. Obviously 3 chapters in he approached me with the request and I accepted because... well... who could ever reject a trans... lator. And in case you're reading this, don't translate this chapter as well. But don't forget to ask the Russian readers if they want a sequel or not.
Once again... congratulations to all award winners, and to all the readers in general... for reading all 12 chapters and also this extra one without giving up. Thank you.
Now the next bit... and probably the main reason why people actually bothered to read this... it's to decide which fic I should do next. Now bare in mind that I may or may not be doing any more fics. Given my current life circumstances, even if I do end up doing another fic, the updates probably won't be half as frequent as the update frequency of this fic. With that out of the way, let's get right into this.
For each choice I'll give you the potential title, synopsis, genres, pairings, main characters, a detailed synopsis where I go on to spoil chapter 1(only read this if the synopsis, genres, etc. fail to interest you), and finally my thoughts about it.
I'll state it when we get to the sequel of 'Growth'. So here we go...
Option 1:
Title: A choice, or a battle?
Synopsis: Sometimes, to gain something, you must lose something. Does a young detective have the ability to do the same... even if it involves people? Even if it involves the very people he cares about?
Genres: Crime/Suspense
Pairings: Irrelevant but still... [Hachiman;Yui]
Main character/s: Hikigaya Hachiman
Detailed synopsis: At the age of 25-ish, Hachiman is a detective and is in a relationship with Yui. Everything is going so smoothly, to the point that Hachiman feels ready to pop the question. However, unfortunately for him, on the very day he chooses to do so, she gets kidnapped. After managing to contact the kidnapper/s, Hachiman asks them what they want. This is when he finds out that they don't want any sort of money or certain items, instead, they want him to kill Yukinoshita Yukino.
My thoughts: This is one of the 2 fics which I'm ready to get on with straightaway. I've probably mentioned in many A/Ns that the chapter 1 is ready to go. Well... it's not ready to go now because that was written around May-ish I think... and my writing style has improved from then so I'll just have to quickly rewrite it. In one of the reviews, wildreviewingfingers11 mentioned that they wanted a dark fic... I don't know if this counts as dark but at least it's nothing similar to this fic that you just read i.e. 'Growth'.
And yeah... expect suspense, action, fighting, chase sequences, surprises, and maybe even deaths...
Option 2:
Title: The matchmaking duo of the century... or not?
Synopsis: When no human can make it happen, a cat and a dog can.
Genres: Humour/Romance
Pairings: [Hachiman;Yui]
Main character/s: Kamakura, Sable
Detailed synopsis: After realising Yui's blatantly obvious feelings towards Hachiman, the two pets take it on themselves to come up with a masterplan to make the pairing happen.
My thoughts: This is one that I'm not too keen about, but for me, this would be funnier than 'Growth' if everyone understands certain themes to this. Vote for this if you're willing to have a bit of a gambling vote.
Option 3:
Title: Green
Synopsis: He's always respected what others want. For once, can he prioritise his desires over others'? But does he even know what Kawasaki Saki wants?
Genres: Drama/Romance
Pairings: ?
Main character/s: Hikigaya Hachiman, Kawasaki Saki, OC
Detailed synopsis: Kawasaki Saki accepts a confession right in front of Hachiman's eyes. He respects her decision but only if she knew that he was... in the simplest of languages... jealous. The title is 'Green' because the colour green signifies jealousy and envy.
My thoughts: I'll be alright writing this one mainly because it's much easier to write than the detective one. When it comes to Oregairu fanfictions, Hachiman and Saki are my 2nd favourite pairing so I'll have no real problems writing this fic. It's just that I'd prefer the detective one and the sequel of 'Growth' much more.
Option 4:
Title: The turning tables
Synopsis: How will he react when he is to face the unexpected truth... that he unexpectedly didn't expect? Can he accept what he didn't expect? Is this synopsis unexpectedly getting way too complicated?
Genres: Drama/Romance
Pairings: [Hachiman;Yui]
Main characters: Hikigaya Hachiman, Yuigahama Yui
Detailed synopsis: This is taken from the 'Whatever happened after' fic. After hugely suspecting Hachiman and Yukino to have mutual feelings, she decides to distance herself from them... causing Hachiman to come to an unexpected realisation.
My thoughts: As you all know... my favourite pairing... without a shadow of doubt... is this one. Whilst options 1 and 2 do have this as the pairing, the pairing itself won't be the focal point of those fics. As a result, this fic will be very hard to write as 8manYui is the most unpopular pairing when it comes to Oregairu fanfictions(trust me... it is). Regardless... I'd still prefer the detective one and the sequel.
Option 5: Sequel of 'Growth'
Title: A boss, a celebrity, and what the duck?
Synopsis: He's a 25-year-old man with a prestigious job, one of his two best friends works with him, and the other is a celebrity. What next?
Genres: Humour, Romance
Pairings: [Hachiman;?]
Main character/s: Hikigaya Hachiman, Yukinoshita Yukino, Kawasaki Saki, Yuigahama Yui
Detailed synopsis: As you all know, Yukino is Hachiman's boss, Yui is now a singer and has released a music video for her song. It's just that the costume designer of that music video did far too well to still remain in Chiba. But she can't really afford any sort of accommodation. I wonder if there is a friend of hers who lives in Tokyo in an apartment all by themselves?
My thoughts: Ahh... I really wanna write this one. But here's the thing. If you requested a sequel because you wanted to know what happens next and you eventually wanted to see a pairing, it's all good. But if you requested the sequel because you found 'Growth' funny and you want more similar moments, well... the idea that I have in mind, would mean that the latter part of the sequel PROBABLY won't even be half as funny as 'Growth'. But still... I believe that this could end up being a good fic.
Option 6:
Title: Around the world in 88 snowy days
Synopsis: A newly wed couple go on a trip around the world. Nothing else. Full stop.
Genres: Humour/Romance
Pairings: [Hachiman;Yukino]
Main character/s: Hikigaya Hachiman, Hikigaya Yukino :p
Detailed synopsis: No detail really.
My thoughts: This one is obviously for all you Yukinofags... yeah you reading this right now... you're probably a Yukinofag. This is basically Hachiman and Yukino going on a tour across the world after getting married. To be honest, this could be pretty decent because I don't find this idea to be VERY generic when it comes to HachiYukino fics. And by the way, the 'snowy' bit in the title does not mean snowy weather, it obviously refers to Yukino. Anyways, I'll try and include countries from every continent(except Antarctica). The countries I have in mind...
. Australia
. New Zealand(frickin' love New Zealand)
. China
. India
. Russia
. Germany
. Italy
. Switzerland(AKA The most beautiful country in existence)
. France
. UK
. Tanzania
. Sudan
. Canada
. USA
. Mexico(Probably not because I don't know ANYTHING about Mexico)
. Chile
. And then Brazil for the Olympics
If this does end up being the chosen fic, I'm gonna need you guys to feed me with the knowledge about these countries, because I don't know a lot about all the countries I've mentioned. Furthermore, do let me know if you think that it would be better if the two had kids who came along(and also what age they should be).
[Options end.]
That's all the ideas I have. Please vote. Pls... Pls man... or woman... but personally I haven't come across a female in this website yet so yeah. Anyways, if there are ideas in here that you really like but don't end up being chosen, they're likely to pop up at the end of my next fic as well so it could be chosen as the fic after the next one... if you get what I mean. If there are any ideas of mine that you'd like to make fics on yourself, please PM me because these are my ideas and I feel like if anyone is to make fics on them, they should at least ask my permission. Depending on how special I think the idea is to me, and how much I trust the requester to make good use of the idea, I might allow others to use my ideas.
If you're feeling kind, it would be helpful if you leave in your review about this fic saying...
. Your favourite chapter
. Your favourite moment
. If you were actually bothered to listen to the songs
. If I should use songs to help set the mood
. Which parts in my writing I should improve on
. Which moment you found the worst
. Which chapter you found the worst
Anyways, that's about it from this summary chapter and this fic as a whole. I'll speak to you again if I'm able to make more fics. If I'm not able to write anymore, this will be my last message to you so thanks a lot for reading and appreciating my imaginations. Until next time/For one last time...
Thank you for reading :)/Goodbye everyone :)
P.S: Everyone also say goodbye to ImaNukeYourFace as he's probably still waiting for my rap :P
