DESCRIPTION
A downloadable collected version of my Lucky Star fan
story "Fixtures of Summer" with all story art embedded within.
I'm uploading these collected versions for ease of access
for fans of my work in case something ever goes awry with
this platform or myself. If you really enjoy the tale I
recommend downloading it.
Konata Izumi has just gotten to her first summer break as
a high schooler. Dad is going away for a trip and the house
should be all to her. The little otaku girl makes big plans to
game away the break undisturbed, but a surprise visit
from her cousins Yutaka and Yui may change her plans.

Story Foreword:
Though I look back at all of these stories with
fondness, this one resonates in a special sort of way.
Before we were friends in the community Snow Powder
was apparently a fan of my earlier community stories
such as Efforts and Results well before our first time talking.
Our friendship grew over time and I often found myself
commissioning Snow for art to pair with scenes in other
stories of mine, including some of my Lucky Star
works like “I Can’t Suddenly Change”. One day I noticed
Snow post a picture of a content padded up Konata on
their platforms and I of course liked it but soon found out
that Snow had some story ideas for it and wanted to
work together. Though by this point I had reached my goal
of writing all ten girls into diapers again I was always
welcome to make more stories and Snow had the desire
to see Yui appear more as a caretaker who had only
limited time in the aforementioned story. We brainstormed
a bit and out of that process this story emerged. Taking the
cute embarrassment elements Snow liked from my stories
they read before and that closeness of family I mapped it
all out with the theme of family at the front and center.
What’s truly important in our interactions with those
we care about? What can wait so that we have that time?
In what ways might we get under the skin of those we
care about because we don’t communicate? Those were
the ideas I played with as I wrote Fixtures of Summer
alongside Snow and I hope that theme comes
through well as it is read.
