LMM 207: With Intent
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 compliant one.

Jacques had just closed the tap when Canarian murmured, “I’m impressed.”
“By?”
“You were right. Uncle’s back.”
“Naturellement. It would be entirely rude to let bathwater go ...

Mood Stripes 221: Trapped
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who’s looking for reasons. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 221: Trapped
Cautiously, Inuyasha asked, “You want my protection?”
“Hnn.”

“It is the unavoidable conclusio...

“You want a bath?” asked Canarian.
“He will want one.”
Beckoning with the flick of fingers, Canarian entered a spacious bathing chamber. “I was surprised to learn that he’s been… ah…...

Clumsy
Tuesday’s Tote. After a holiday lull, we’re back! Tuesdays are for 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 Clumsy.
Summary: She was the most sought-after demoness at court, but no suitor could conquer her. He was only trying to feed his family when his stray arr...
ART: Hold Him Down
The Starmarks at Home. As I mentioned on this previous post, I’ve begun accumulating pajama pics. I suppose I like the relaxed, cozy ambiance … and the sense of catching a glimpse behind the scenes, where people are at their truest.

Ever’s grown a lot. One of these days, we’ll have to put him and Kyrie together in one pic so you can see the size difference. Canines (other than Quen) are tall & strapping, but Kyrie’s rather short & slight of frame...

Chapter 220: Included
Inuyasha drew up short. “You and Kagome and Kohaku… and Shishi?”
“Hnn.”
“Why them?” Which wasn’t really the right question. Shoving the words past the tightness in his throat, he asked, “Why not me?”
Sesshoumaru grunted. Which was...

Canarian opened a room dominated by another fireplace, this one deep and well-banked. “Of all the hearths within Uncle’s home, this is perhaps the truest. Few see it.”

Bard & Barbarian
New Chapter. A bit behind schedule, but I’ve added last month’s installment to Bard & Barbarian. It’s an original story about two of the OCs I played during my first DnD campaigns. What can I say … I got attached. Their serialized adventure will undoubtedly be a stand-alone book one day, but if you want to be a part of their story while it’s unfolding, become a patron.
Chapter 17: “Tell Me a Secret”
