LMM 228: Back Door
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one with family in Keishi.

Back Door
Jacques was thoroughly wet by the time Sonnet hustled him through an obscure gate and onto someone’s back porch. “Cousin?” Sonnet called through an open screen. “May I beg ...

Sonnet sniffed and asked, “You’re connected to my grandsire?”
“Acquainted. I’m closer to Mark. Well, I call him Mark.” Jacques had to think. “Valor.”
“My unc...

Ko-fi Event
Starting Now. If you’re into my InuYasha stuff, I’m officially starting my fandom foray over on Ko-fi. Expect updates to Vassal throughout the day. (You can suggest a prompt on the “Prompt Me Promptly” post over there.) Miroku & Sesshoumaru are my opening act. I’ll add some chapters to Vassal today. The headliner is definitely Unexpected, and a new chapter will post around 4pm. Then I’ll wrap up for the day roundabout 5pm. All very low key. Drop by and chat with me there.

Unexpected
Apple for the Teacher. To help celebrate the return of Unexpected to “active” status, we’ve added an apple pattern to the shops. Up until now, I focused on giving fandom book covers to completed stories. Over the next few months, we’ll fit in ongoing serials, then work our way through odds-and-ends, right down to the last drabble. ::twinkle::
Summary: Kagome is the principal of an elementary school. Inuyasha is one of their two janitors. [Contemporary AU. Inuyasha x Kagome] STORY LINK.

(Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one who can sympathize.

Jacques trailed a finger over a long stretch of exposed skin any dog would consider a fashion faux pas. “But you’re a wolf.”
“Thank you for noticing. Not everybody...

ART: Bard & Barbarian
Marc and Imber. They met when Imber was just a kid. The “divine beast” shaped the half-elf’s plans, giving him something to strive for. Because every adventure must be shared.
The years flowed past, bringing people and taking them away again. Usually, this inevitability didn’t bother Marc. If he found good companions for a time, he was grateful. But every so often, rarer than the crossroads of Cataclysms, he would find a man brave enough to smile into the face of his storm. Imber had the mak...
Bard & Barbarian
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch20, “New Members.” We haven’t seen some of these folks since the Larking in Brindleby arc! ::twinkle::

Mood Stripes 239: Ravaged
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the two who aren’t alone. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 239: Ravaged
“Oh, erm… it’s… in an awkward spot.” Kagome’s hand moved across her midriff, to a point just over her hip.
He could only repeat, “Show me.”
With a little shimmy, she parted enough clothing for him to slide two fingers over skin t...

LMM 225: Be So Bold
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one with a keen nose.

Be So Bold
“If I may be so bold, you’re rather important to someone.” The wolf sniffed lightly.
Jacques angled his head invitingly.
“Oh! May I?”
“By all means.” Which might’ve co...
