* BittersweetEnding: "The Life I Chose," a side story in which Yukiko chooses not to inherit the inn, ends with Yukiko working as an OfficeLady and serving coffee, a far less fulfilling job than running the inn. Her parents are forced to sell the inn when they retire, likely costing more than a few of their employees their jobs. Yukiko is estranged from her parents, but Chie puts her in touch with them in the hopes of them reconciling. Yukiko has many regrets, but accepts her decisions and is happy being with her girlfriend.

* SameSurnameMeansRelated: In "The Life I Chose," one of Yukiko's coworkers immediately notices that she's related to the owners of the Amagi Inn, which is why she asks Yukiko about places to go for her upcoming honeymoon in the area.

Edit Tip 8:A trope can't be "partially subverted" any more than a woman can be "a little bit pregnant." If it isn't played straight and it isn't quite subverted, check the Playing With A Trope page to see which one it is. See the full list of editing tips.

''Quiet Snow'' is a ''Fanfic/Persona4'' fanfic by Theralion.

Yukiko Amagi's beloved is applying for a job as assistant manager of the Amagi Inn, the last step needed for them to be together. There's just one problem- she's a woman, and her named Shizuka Yagami. She must not only convince

The fic can be found on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14090580/1/Quiet-Snow Fanfiction.net]] and [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39440205/chapters/98709237 Archive of our Own]]. A collection of side stories can be found on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14122336/1/Quiet-Snow-Side-Stories FF.net]] and [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/41008656/chapters/102775320 AO3]].

Please note: Chapter numbers will be used according to the numbers inside the text of the fic. For example, the first chapter after the prologue is Chapter 1, even though it's the second chapter.

!The fic contains examples of:
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In canon, Yu and Yosuke were HeterosexualLifePartners with a bit of HoYay. In the fic, Shizuka is not quite as close with Yosuke, and Yosuke has an unrequited crush on Shizuka.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Both the protagonist and Yukiko were heterosexual in canon, while in the fic, Shizuka and Yukiko are lesbians.
* AndThenWhat: Yukiko asks this question of one of the boys who confesses to her. She asks if he's willing to stay with her in Inaba for the rest of his life and work for her at the Amagi Inn, neither of which are appealing to him. She adds that her family has high standards for any potential suitors, which he may not be able to meet. He gets the hint and withdraws his confession.
* ArrangedMarriage: Yukiko's mother Fuyumi was in one but turned it down to marry Yukiko's father.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Yukiko and Shizuka bond over their commonalities, such as their EmbarrassingFirstName, and the fact that their parents' jobs determine the course of their lives.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Yukiko and Shizuka don't particularly like their first names. Shizuka resents how her name implies she's quietly obedient, while Yukiko dislikes being named after something as transient and worthless as snow. This is part of the reason why they're on a LastNameBasis at first.
* {{Delinquents}}: Shizuka's genderflipped Izanami invokes this, wearing a SailorFuku with a long skirt.
* GenderFlip: The protagonist is female, as is her version of Izanami.
* IncompatibleOrientation:
** Yukiko is a lesbian, but Chie isn't, hence why Chie can't become Yukiko's "prince".
** Yosuke is heterosexual and has feelings for Shizuka, but she is a lesbian who has feelings for Yukiko.
* LastNameBasis: Unlike the localized version, most characters call each other by their last names.
** As a result of being rather polite and disliking their first names, Shizuka and Yukiko call each other "Amagi-san" and "Yagami-san" most of the time, even after starting their relationship.
** Natsuo still calls his wife Fuyumi "Amagi-san" at work, and she follows suit after he took her name.
* MeaningfulEcho:
** In Chapter 5, during a phone conversation with Shizuka and Yukiko, Shizuka apologizes for rambling, which Yukiko notes is the opposite of her name(which means "quiet"). Later that chapter, after Yukiko explodes at the sleazy reporter, Shizuka notes that Yukiko's fiery outburst is the opposit of her name(which means "snow").
** In "Yagami and Hanamura," Yosuke says that he has "two very important things to say" to Shizuka- admitting that he was jealous of her and making a LoveConfession to her. In Chapter 6, Yukiko uses the same phrase regarding her decision to stay in Inaba and her own LoveConfession, and Shizuka [[LampshadeHanging notices the familiar phrasing]].
*MeaningfulName: Shizuka's first name, like Yu's, means "quiet," which she resents due to her belief that her family expects her to quietly obey them. Her last name means "eight gods," which is similar to Yu's last name of Narukami("roaring god") and references her ability to wield Personas.
* MenUseViolenceWomenUseCommunication: Shizuka refuses to get into a fistfight with Yosuke at the end of the latter's Social Link, instead lightly slapping him and saying it was most important that he was able to talk about his feelings.
* NiceGirl: While a bit stricter as a leader than Yu Narukami, Shizuka is a kind and polite girl at heart.
* RuleAbidingRebel: Yukiko notes that while her mother Fuyumi defied Yukiko's maternal grandmother by refusing an ArrangedMarriage, she still did all the duties expected of a daughter of the Amagi Inn owners- inheriting the inn, getting married and raising her child to be her successor.
* SwitchingPOV: Most of the fic alternates between Yukiko and Yu's first-person POVs.
* TakeThat: The fic criticizes the common misconception that Yukiko's deciding to inherit the inn rather than leave Inaba is a betrayal of her CharacterDevelopment. It's pointed out in Chapter 6 that Yukiko inheriting the inn is not only a way to support everyone she cares about but is also harder than striking out on her own, and that if she'd inherited the inn merely because she was too spineless to make her own decisions, she would inevitably have failed.
* TemporalThemeNaming: Yukiko's mother is named Fuyumi, while her father is named Natsuo. Fuyumi wanted a winter-themed name for Yukiko, who was born on December 8, but she herself already had a name with "winter" in it, so she settled for Yukiko, which means "snow girl."
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: Yukiko insists that Teddie call her "Amagi-san" rather than "Yuki-chan." The request is ignored, but the fact that Yukiko makes it shows that she's becoming more assertive.
* TookTheWifesName: Natsuo Amagi married into the Amagi family and took on their family name.
* WhatTheHellHero: Shizuka calls Yukiko out on wanting the inn to close so that she won't actively have to choose to leave it behind.
