fin de saison (the end of summer)
Title: fin de saison (the end of summer)
Pairing(s): Sho/Aiba, Ohno/Nino
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~23,000
Summary: High school AU. Summer vacation means school projects, and through all the snails, paint splatters, basketballs and English essays, the five of them have to learn how to deal with things you could never learn in the classroom.
Notes: IT IS HERE: MY
FIC. Actually this is one of the first fics I started writing in fandom, and it was lying dusty and forgotten in my documents folder until I decided to show a little bit of it to 
aeslis. She then persuaded me to take it up again, three years after its conception, and here it is, ta-da! Naturally, aeslis is the first person I have to thank, because without her this would still be a fragment of a fic and also very unpolished, since she is the Best Beta Ever (BBE) and deserves love, sparkles and heaps of her favorite things. Secondly, thank you kyjr for creating a beautiful piece of artwork for this fic (you can see it here--it is so lovely and matches the fic so well) and making it come alive. And thirdly, thank you to my f-list, who gave me lots of helpful advice for this fic when I asked for it. ♥
Two more things: 1) 'fin de saison' means 'end of season.' It 'marks the end of an extended (annual) period during which business increases significantly, most commonly used for the end of summer tourism' (thanks, Wikipedia!); 2) this fic is hosted on a separate site because it's large and in charge.
And finally, in order to understand the background of this story better, please read the calm before the snails. It will be a huge help if you read that first. :)
