Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon
Three Hanyou Princesses. If you missed the hype, there’s an InuYasha sequel, and simulcasts air every week. The main characters are three young ladies: Moroha (Inuyasha & Kagome’s daughter) and Sesshoumaru’s twin daughters Setsuna (who was raised by Kohaku and has no memory of her sister) and Towa (who was tossed forward in time and was raised by Souta Higurashi.
As a longtime fan of the series, I’m quietly enjoying the frequent allusions/homages. It’s the sort of thing I’d do in a next gen ...

Happy Shiny Smug
So, So Smug. That moment when you realize you have the PERFECT name for a new pokemon. ::twinkle::
LMM 190: Urgent Care
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 formidable one.

Urgent Care
Hand in hand, Jacques led the way past barriers that didn’t apply to him.
“Sensei asked for me?” Michael seemed surprised.
“Not specifically. Doesn’t matter. You’re the one he...
Mood Stripes 202: Thoughtless
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who may be right. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 202: Thoughtless
Kagome couldn’t think why she was causing him grief. Then she was berating herself for thoughtlessness. This wasn’t about kissing or even about her. Jaken, Rin, Ah-Un—had there been a lot of blood?
“This once,” she relented. “Si...

Supportive Friend
Jacques helped Hisoka out of his shoes.
Ginkgo reappeared with a blanket, his ears canted worriedly. “Pushing your limits, Sensei?”
“So it would seem.”
“What do...

Bard & Barbarian
New Chapter. I’ve added this 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.
Last month’s installment concluded Part 1, so we’re embarking on Part 2 of this tale. Imber’s grown quite a bit, and he’s ready to broaden his hori...

Dragged In
Once the festival ended, the sky darkened, and the sea churned. As if the weather held off for their sakes… but was making up for lost time. Most of the household took shelter ...

Imperceptible
Tuesday’s Tote. I’ve been adding a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site each week. (Think … weekly cover reveals!) As an added bonus, the new pattern becomes available in my Threadless & TeePublic shopfronts. Totes, masks, and note cards are available. This week we’re adding an homage to Imperceptible.
Summary: A story told through a series of drabbles and oneshots, tracing the slow and steady progress of trust. Canon Universe. [Sesshoumaru & Kagome]

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 in need of a Dichotomy Day tour guide.

“Bon jour!”
Delightful. His eight-year-old Japanese tutor.
In no mood to bash his head against a language barrier, Jacques demanded, “Why is this su...
