Mood Stripes 147: Impatient
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure especially for the one with questions. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 147: Impatient
Miroku sat up a little straighter. May I ask why?
Sesshoumarus eyebrow arched.
Kagome studied the hue of his stripes. Impatient. Interested. But not annoyed.
Inuyasha grumbled something, and Miroku backpedaled. Certainly, Sesshoumaru-sama.

Bard & Barbarian

In related news, FoxOfTwilight is working on art for my boys. After some waffling (because little!Imber is a cute little button), we decided to make the bard an adult for this dual portrait. Because little boys will soon grow up to have adventures of their own. ::twinkle::

LMM 117: Safe
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 well-aware one.
Chapter One Hundred Seventeen: Safe
Michael eased back a corner of the comforter. Come, take Senseis place.
The chair will suffice, surely.
Hisoka patiently disentangled himself from Lapis. Dragons like...

Chapter 146: Mysterious
Kohaku mapped a route that would be easier on an expectant mother and small children, and they strolled through sloping meadows filled with flowers. All very lovely.
Until it started to rain.
Sango found a cave, a taijiya hunting shelter....

Squee Post
Governed by Whimsy. Ive been reminded that I usually do a squee post after a book/story releases. So readers have a spot to safely squee. And speculate. And get shippy. Draw connections and conclusions. And usually ask questions I cant/wont answer. So let all comers be warned!
HERE THERE BE SPOILERS

Release Day!
Governed by Whimsy is OUT. This is the solo digital edition. The print anthology will be coming along later, probably in May. An audio edition of the 4-story collection is already contracted, so you can also look forward to Travis Baldrees narration.

Chapter 145: Strong
Sesshoumaru stayed out of the way while the humans packed. But the kit led over their children.
Sesshoumaru-sama is strong, Shippo announced. But not bad.
The children radiated a whole range of fear and fascination.
He likes flowers, Shippo continued,...
ART: Brothers Evernhold
Coming Attraction. Release day is tomorrow, but most of us with pre-orders will be receiving a digital delivery tonight. So heres fresh enticement in the form of art (and another tiny teaser). Governed by Whimsy will introduce you to members of the Leclerc Company, a traveling theater troupe with a vast repertoire, founded by the brothers Evernhold.
Do I have the pleasure of addressing Mademoiselles Dimityblest and Demerara?
They whirled guiltily.

Bard & Barbarian
Updated! Just a quick note that I managed to update Bard & Barbarian yesterday. This has been a good week for DnD at forthys house. Woke to a surprise game-brunch on Monday. Defending a treasure convoy goes rather well with fresh cinnamon rolls. And then yesterdays usual campaign slot (which went extra long) brought sufficient success for Marc to unlock a unique feature on one of his swords. Poor boy. Im not sure whos more confused by the consequences: me, Imber, or Marc himself.
