It has been brought to my attention that no one ever officially named June as the unofficial "Higurashi Month" in which the fandom revs up and posts all sorts of pictures, stories, and general content per a daily prompt or some such thing. This is borderline blasphemous and I have done my best to remedy it, by posting a prompt list and a series of daily short snippets this June.

When she learns of her new friend Satoshi's despair at home, Shion decides to protect him by all means. A year later, Keiichi learns about a student who used to go to his school. With Rena's help, he finds out about a wound which has never really closed.

[Ciconia, Lilja/Koshka] Why should it matter what Lilja thought of her? Quite frankly, she was annoying as hell. It was as if her entire existence revolved around riling Koshka up, like a dog chasing a cat. There was no reason for Koshka to be as upset as she was; it wasn't like she actually cared what Lilja thought about kissing her.

In the Autumn of 1979, four children on the Island of Rokkenjima decide to play a simple mystery game. (Four chapters, short)

So much of the tragedy of 1986 hangs on the fact that Battler abandoned the family in 1980 and did not return for six years. But what if he had come back sooner? What if, for instance, he had rejoined the Ushiromiya in 1984? Would that have changed anything? What might the catbox have been with a little twist in fate?

[Ciconia] There was no way Lilja was going to admit she envied a cat of all things. Lilja/Koshka, established relationship

[Ciconia: When They Cry] It was a long time ago since she had stopped caring about the things and people of this depraved world. Or at least, that was what she'd like to think. Lilja/Koshka.

A sudden and unexpected power outage leads Rika and Satoko to have a heartfelt conversation. And to think about maybe renovating their house, too.

Their epees clash, and Cornelia shows Gertrude what she's made of. Cornelia/Gertrude.

An interesting phenomenon has occured. Though will it be enough to prevent these unstoppable events from happening? In an unexpected turn of events, Keiichi and Hanyuu are working together, and are to figure out this odd bond that ties fate together. Their journey goes through a good half of mishaps and enjoyable moments, to figure out who or what is responsible for these murders.

Lucifer loses a battle to 410, prompting Beatrice to give the Chiester Corps better roles in the third game in comparison to the Seven Sisters of Purgatory. As she struggles with her loss, 410 slips her something interesting. 410/Lucifer.

Sonozaki Shion is a lady of a prestigious family, but everything is about to change completely. Because Shion repeatedly violated family rules...

On their walk to school, Rena notices Mion keeps yawning. Rena/Mion

Receuil d'OS sur ce magnifique dessin animé qu'est Higurashi no naku koro ni écrit à l'occasion d'un jeu sur fof. Les thèmes sont indiqués dans les titres des chapitres.

Such a small effort can't fix anything.

The ghost is behind him. But something is different today.

After the death of her aunt, Ange decided to go on a quest to find out the truth about the Rokkenjima Massacre. She ended up asking the help of a certain detective.

It's been over a month since the final events, and everyone is now living a fun and peaceful life. Now there is a new kid in the village, becoming good friends with everyone. After knowing Mion can't win Keiichi's affections, she has moved on to somebody new, whom everyone adores. But beyond that, something new and drastic is happening.

Lambdadelta and Beatrice watch the events of the first game unfold. Much to Lambdadelta's surprise, she can't find any flaws, but she still has some advice to share regardless of whether Beatrice wants to hear it or not.

Beatrice Ushiromiya has always had dreams of a red-headed prince and his white stallion. (Implied BeatricexBattler. Sad. Angst. Last fic of my summer challenge.)

An anthology of ONE-SHOTS; some connected, some separate. In the Sea of Kakera, there remains countless fragments that tell various anecdotes of the Higurashi cast. Whether ending in heart-warming romance, pain-striking tragedy, or plain slice-of-life moments, these stories all have one purpose: to entice its audience. Occasional KeiRika, though pairings vary greatly.

As she grows up, Sayo shares a private moment with each of the women of Ushiromiya household.

Natsuhi wishes to help Krauss in his negotiations, but in order to do so, she has to make peace with Eva in a very unusual (and humiliating) way.

Bernkastel was the villain of this story. It was her role to be despised and hated and fought tooth and nail. Who would pity such a depraved witch? Only a fellow Witch, of course.

Surrounded by the corpses of her family, Maria knows it's justified. Ignoring the stench of rot and decay, humming along to the tune of the clock, Maria waits for the doors to the Golden Land to be opened. After all, if Beatrice says it must be done so everyone can reach the Golden Land, then it must be done. (Content warnings: canonical child death.)
