ART: Her Colt
Fira folded her arms over her chest. “Human men like docile, doting, dainty wives.”
Ricker blinked. “You are not … large.”
“Compared to mares. But my stature is considered a misfortune. I am ungainly, cumbersome. You know, I have even been described as coltish.”
He snorted his way into a whinnying laugh and swooped her into his arms.

Quote Graphics. While creating all the lovely book covers for my fanfiction, we included quote graphics, which make it fun (and cute) to share snippets from my stories. Next time I reread a fic, I’ll keep an eye out for lines I like. In the meantime, perhaps you’d like to suggest some? Send me favorite lines from any of my stories (fanfics & originals), and they may end up on quote graphics like these. ::twinkle::
My email is always.forthright@gmail.com … or you can simply make s...

Lord Charming
Tuesday’s Tote. I’ve been posting a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site each week. (Well, okay. I missed last week.) As an added bonus, the new pattern becomes 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 Lord Charming.
Summary: More than Sesshoumaru’s pride took a blow when he lost his arm. He’s in a delicate position… and desperate enough to seek th...

Immediately, he tasted the transcendence he’d bee...

Chapter 206: Intimate
Kagome was relieved when Sesshoumaru stopped looming over her. But by the time he’d settled, she was in no less intimate a position. Her head on his arm. His leg between hers.
“Continue to think of me.” Belatedly, he added, “While I th...

Kagome quietly admitted, “You confuse me, too.”
“Is that the source of your distress?”
