LMM 113: Choose with 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 for the one who has a way with words.
Chapter One Hundred Thirteen: Choose with Care
Jacques perked up. Lapis wasnt the propositioning sort; he was too careful about the sway of his words. For me?
I am seeking a place to...

Chapter 141: Pulled
Inuyasha winced at the almighty shift that accompanied sunrise, but it was with heartfelt relief that he welcomed his senses back. Even if those senses were telling him that his face was buried against Sesshoumarus thigh.
Swearing, he rolled onto...
Read and Reread
Totally impressed with this snapshot of a readers copy of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox. It reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit, kept close and much-loved, read so often, its become real.

Chapter 140: Tight
Sesshoumarus fangs grazed the sensitive skin of her throat, and Kagome tried to understand their oddly intimate impasse. Are we bonding, too? she whispered.
His fingers tightened in her hair. His face filled her view. The wish did that.
She managed a...

Enticement
For those who may have missed the book recommendation I made in this post, I offer the additional enticement of this fellow. Brand is one of the denizens of the Statuary, where the handiwork of master sculptors take on a life of their own.

Sadness comes and goes. So does happiness, Kagome said. Thats why its so important to have people who are willing to stay.
Sudden color change meant her words had hit a mark. The only problem was it was a new, undocumented...

Bard & Barbarian
Turn on the Charm. My Patreon-exclusive story has updated, and Im pleased with the warm reception Imber (and Marc) have received. At the moment, the only way to read along is to become a patron, but Im not setting any tiers. Even if you can only part with $1 a month, youre in and warmly welcomed. And as an added bonus, youll contribute to the community goal Ive set. Once I reach 400 followers, Ill begin another Amaranthine story over there. Involving three sisters, twelve pledges, and the...

Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who’s something. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 138: Accusatory
When Sesshoumaru crooked his fingers, Kagome unwisely scooted into range. It was déjà vu when he captured a lock of her hair and used it to pull her even closer.
“Erm … yes?”
“I am not happy.”
She had no idea why this was delivered as an...
