Summary: Ever since Sawada started coming over for dinner, the after dinner conversation became a bit awkward for Yankumi.
Why: I like this because of the way it shows how well Shin fits into Yankumi's family. Also, Yankumi's obliviousness just amuses me. :)

Summary: Scars tell a story. Where you’ve been, what you’ve gone through. Yankumi has a lot of scars.
Why: This is a really sweet story, and made even better by the fact that it's a bit longer than what I usually find for this fandom! It has Yankumi being wise in her own inimitable way that is oh-so-appealing. I always find myself inspired by Yankumi's wisdom. Also, I love Shin's reaction to what Yankumi says, and just his emotions in general when it comes to her.

Summary: “They are both in love with each other. The only question is how long it will take them both to realise that their feelings are returned.”
Why: It's probably terribly geeky, but I really loved the structure of this. Also, the character voice is done very well. Oh, and the ending is lovely.
