Fic Dumping Ground: 2017
A new year, a new place for fic. As with last year's, this is a place for fic that I want to share but don't want to post to AO3 for whatever reason. Some of them may make it there eventually, some of them may not. Series, pairing, rating, and any relevant warnings will be in the subject of each post.

"I like it when it snows, because I can build snowmen," Kinjou's classmate said. "I don't like it when it's really sunny in the summer, because it's too hot to play outside."
"Thank you, Katsuo. Anri, how about you?"
"I like it when it's really windy in the fall, because the leaves look pretty blowing around. I don't like it when it's sunny after it snows, because it's too bright, and it hurts my eyes."
"Thank you. How about you, Shingo?"
"I like it when it rains in the summer, because Father likes running in the rain, and he only lets me come along when it's warm out. He tells the best stories then too. I don't like it when it gets too cold, because it makes Dad hurt. Uncle Oishi is always saying he should stretch more, but Dad never remembers. Sometimes if it's really, really cold, he spends all night in his lab because he can't sleep."
"That was a very…thoughtful answer, Shingo," his teacher said after slightly too long a pause, and Kinjou tried to figure out what he had said wrong. Maybe he shouldn't have mentioned going out running in the rain? Or maybe he should have clarified that he suspected Inui was up all night since he didn't actually have proof of that, just a working hypothesis on the basis of the times he'd woken up in the middle of the night to the wind howling and Inui shuffling around the lab? And he supposed he didn't actually know Inui spent those nights in the lab because he couldn't sleep either; that was extrapolation too.
