Mood Stripes 195: Comforting
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who’s worse for wear. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 195: Comforting
Sesshoumaru didn’t resist when they—essentially—put him to bed. Cradled between Shishi’s forelegs, he twisted his fingers into thick bronze fur that still carried the scent of Kagome’s shampoo. The lion-dog nuzzled him, making l...
News Hound
Updated! Iruka is sent undercover on a mission that bears every resemblance to an enforced vacation. It’s the world’s most boring assignment. And the loneliest. Until a chatty photojournalist named Sukea starts hanging around. Canon Divergence. [Iruka & Kakashi/Sukea/Hound]
This Naruto fanfic updates on Tuesdays. Chapter 4: “Hasty Retreat” just posted.

Milestone
Quarter of the Way. I’m a firm believer in celebrating little things and silly things and special things. Milestones are for marking, and to day we reached one. I currently have 100 patrons over on Patreon. That means we’re 1/4 of the way to my (eventual) Community Goal of 400 patrons. More about Patreon >>
What’s the big deal?
Once I reach that number, I’ll begin posting a subscription story (available to those pledging $4/month or more). “Loosely based on the old Amaranthine tale...
LMM 165: Dipping and Dangling
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 in truest form.

Dipping and Dangling
It was a wonderful thing to be correct, and a great trial to have it go unremarked. Jacques sighed.
“Hmm?” Deece, the amazing gravity-defying Amaranthine, was ...
Tote-able
Books on the Go. I’ve been remiss about sharing more of the entries I received during our most recent Photo Challenge. This one’s from Dani, who took the Amaranthine Saga along for a visit to Lake Superior.
Nice tote! ::twinkle::

LMM 164: Catching Up on Paperwork
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 with sass tendencies.

Catching Up on Paperwork
Jacques waited until full dark before knocking smartly.
“It’s open.” Sinder sat amidst scattered files, scanning something on his phone.
“What are you r...
Restock Boxes
Down to Nubbins. My book stock (for all my serieses) was getting down there. Only 2-3 copies left on the shelf. So I placed a restock order, and it arrived! I’m good to go, should any of you want to secure author-signed copies of my titles. ::twinkle::

LMM 163: Permission to Engage
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 with impressive stamina.

Permission to Engage
“May I take Deece into our confidence with regards to Sinder’s presence.”
Argent’s brows lifted. “What did you have in mind?”
Jacques innocently answered...

Mood Stripes 194: Shaken
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who’s trembling. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 194: Shaken
Kagome hadn’t truly understood what she’d unlocked when she invited Sesshoumaru to vent his grief. Youki snapped and flared as his howls rent the night. Her heart thundered, and her body shook.
Kohaku crawled over, his face wet. All ...
LMM 162: Expectations Vary
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 with a very short list.

Expectations Vary
Jacques’ list of enjoyable diversions that two could share was both short and inappropriate. A second opinion was required.
He found Suuzu and Akira first. T...
