LMM 216: Ever the Teacher
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 who’s eager to please.

Ever the Teacher
“Describe any changes,” urged Hisoka.
Jacques shuddered and wondered if he was going into shock… or subspace. “I don’t like danger, you know. Not into pain. Not ...

Ginkgo Pin
Adding to the Collection. One of my friends knows that I fancy enamel pins & began treating me to one every time I publish a book. This was their pick for Mikoto and the Reaver Village.

Mood Stripes 229: Peeved
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the displeased one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 229: Peeved
Kagome was concerned when Inuyasha returned with Sesshoumaru draped against his back. Had the taiyoukai suffered a set-back? But no. His stripes were a calm blue. And Inuyasha carried himself—and Sesshoumaru—with new confidence.
“No troubl...

Taste Fear
This side of Hisoka was terrifying, yet Jacques let it happen. Not because he was developing a new kink. Far from it.
Growls subsided into purring, and Jacques squirmed when the licking ...

Chapter 228: Mysterious
“Green, I suppose. He was in so much pain, and the discomfort lingered. Even an ordinary bad mood is greenish. But he’s healed. He’s strong. And he has us.”
“He does,” agreed Kohaku. “However, I worded my question poorly. I meant t...

Perks of Patronage. From time to time, I mention my Patreon account here on the blog. It’s where I post Bard & Barbarian (an ongoing serial adventure). Depending on your chosen tier, patrons can expect sneak peeks, snapshots, quarterly art cards, and all sorts of interesting mail. As mentioned in an earlier post, I’m prepping a special mailing for the Lunar New Year (in part because it coincides with the Amaranthine Emergence). If you’d like to receive a red envelope & lucky coins, this is last ...
LMM 214: Experimentation
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 who is usually terribly polite.

Experimentation
It wasn’t a true blaze. Not in the Amaranthine sense.
Only a handful knew about Michael’s experimental sigilcraft. After several suggestive suggestions, J...

Affinity
Tuesday’s Tote. (Yes, I’m a day late, but that’s how it goes some weeks.) Every week, I’ve been posting a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site. As an added bonus, the new pattern is available in my Threadless & TeePublic shopfronts. Totes, masks, backpacks, zipper bags, journals, and note cards are available. This week we’re adding an homage to Affinity.
Summary: He was the last thing Kagome expected to discover in the modern era… a youkai. When Kurama cannot turn his b...

Mood Stripes 227: Emboldened
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the excellent confessor. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 227: Emboldened
It felt good to confess. Turning the pages in her journal, Kagome hastily explained, “At first, there was so much orange and green. He was angry or irritable. And suffering. This shade of green was default for days.”
“But only at ...
Bard & Barbarian
New Chapter. I’ve been so busy with putting the finishing touches on Captured on Film, posting January’s installment of Bard & Barbarian slipped my mind until yesterday. ::facepalm:: The deed’s done. For those who haven’t taken note, Bard & Barbarian is an original story about two of the characters I played in my very first DnD campaign. What can I say … I got attached. So I’m giving them a story. Imber’s and Marc’s serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if ...
