Meet the Suzumiyas is a fanfic written by JonBob0008 and is the most reviewed Haruhi Suzumiya fanfic as of now.

Kyon's father has been transferred away for his job, and Kyon must move away. However, soon an opportunity comes up for him to stay and continue interacting with the SOS Brigade: He can stay with Haruhi. But, not only does this mean Kyon will live in the same house as our favourite hyperactive reality warper, he will also be staying with her parents: the sweet but spacy (and relatively eccentric) Naru and the highly abrasive Oruki.

Tropes in this fic include:

Big Damn Kiss: The freefalling kiss at the end.
Cannot Spit It Out: Both Haruhi AND Kyon, at various times.
Cloudcuckoolander: Naru
Dude, He's Like, Sleeping: So Haruhi thought, anyway.
Empathic Environment: The weather responds to Haruhi's moods. Especially in her own closed space.
Extra Strength Masquerade: Haruhi seems to see nothing strange about the world-recreating closed space she puts herself in at the end.
Extreme Doormat: A common criticism of the fic is that it turns Kyon into this, making him Out of Character.
Fan Service: Invoked by the mud-wrestling fundraiser.
Freudian Excuse: Kyon uses his crush on his cousin who eloped as one.
Hot Mom: Naru, according to Kyon.
Lack of Empathy: Oruki, frequently, and Haruhi at times. This is one of the fic's more prevalent criticisms.
Jerkass: Oruki. Although he does show moments of humanity, so it's perhaps best to describe him as a Jerk with a Heart of Bronze.
Karma Houdini: Oruki mercilessly beats around Kyon around a few times at the dojo, labeling it as training, in addition to delivering an example of the trope below onto him after he discovers the SOS Brigade. He does get some comeuppance later, but whether it made up for what he did is heavily debatable.
- Possibly Haruhi as well, but she does receive Character Development after Kyon's beatdown.
No Holds Barred Beatdown: Oruki really lets Kyon have it after he finds out about the SOS Brigade.
Oh Crap: Often. Particularly when Kyon hears Haruhi ascending the staircase as he's reading her diary.
Older Than They Look: Oruki and Naru, according to Kyon.
Original Character: Naru and Oruki. Interestingly, the notion of Naru being much like Haruhi's canonical mother at all was swiftly Jossed by Surprise; Haruhi mentions her mother to be a working mother and a Lethal Chef.
Patchwork Kids: Inverted, as Naru and Oruki are based directly on facets of Haruhi.
Secret Diary: Haruhi keeps one on her computer.
Sequel Hook: The alien data lodged in Kyon's brain.
Shout Out: Kyon's "penalty" during the mud-wrestling tournament, to Suzumiya Haruhi no Seitenkan.
Sitting On the Roof
Supreme Chef: Naru.
Timed Mission: Kyon is given one month to find a place to live.
- He also has a very limited amount of time to find Haruhi in her closed space, before it rejects him.
