LMM 181: Sigil and Stone
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 rises to any challenge.

Sigil and Stone
The upstairs hallway was quiet. “You sure your boy’s here?”

“Several wards have vanished in the vicinity of the third floor.” Michael’s smile turned apologetic. “While I try not to notice every little thing, I have a certain affinity...
Clutter
Tuesday’s Tote. I’ve been adding a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site each week. (Think of it as 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 Clutter.
Summary: Mrs. Higurashi decides to help her daughter put her life together; enter Sesshoumaru, professional organizer extraordinaire. A romantic comedy told in 100-word ...

Every Name a Story
Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal. There are three wolves in Class 3-C at New Saga High School, all from the Nightspangle pack in America. They’re used to mingling with humans, having grown up in an urban enclave, but they’re less familiar with the language and culture of Japan. Even so, Hanoo’s leadership qualities shine through.

Say, did you catch this mention back in Bk2?
Lapis arched his brows. “You require taming, so I am throwing you to the wolves. They clearly underst...

ART: Summer Friends
“May the coming season find you richer for the bonds we will share.” Mikoto’s basically grown up at a reaver summer camp, so he’s used to friends who come and go. I keep calling this a buddy!pic for a buddy!fic, because I ship many ships that aren’t romantic in nature: friendship, kinship, mentorship, partnership. ::twinkle::

This again? Jacques stormed, “I know my place.”
“Not well enough”
“You think I don’t know who has your heart?” Jacques didn’t begrudge Tsumiko her place. She was the l...
