LMM 37: No Saint
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 grew up going to St. George’s.
Chapter Thirty-Seven: No Saint
Jacques was entirely unprepared to face a dragon. No armor. No sword. No sainthood in the offing. “Commensurate,” he checked. “Something I’ll enj...

LMM 36: Wherewithal
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 favorite uncle.
Chapter Thirty-Six: Wherewithal
Jacques dug in his heels almost as hard as he gripped Argent’s hand. “I can’t.”
“Focus on me.”
It was a relief to turn from the glittering sprawl that was Lapis in all...
Snack Adventurously

Chapter Thirty-Five: Face Your Monsters
“This is what Lapis meant. Dragons lie with words. Foxes use illusions.”
Jacques had been inside, yet suddenly, he was ankle-deep in waves. “This is...

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 been drawn in.
Chapter Thirty-Four: Have it Out
Jacques stormed out, but Argent quickly found and cornered him. “I cannot give you what you want.”
“You don’t know what I want.”
“I do.” He cocked a brow. “I alw...
Acorns Aplenty

Thank you to everyone who took the time to set up a photo shoot. I have lots more pictures to share, and I’ll be drawing for winners soon.
Mood Stripes 104: Skeptical
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for one who’s thinking clearly. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 104: Skeptical
“He admitted that it distresses him when you leave his presence?” asked Sango.
“Yes.” Kagome twisted her hair in a towel. “Although he used fewer words.”
“And you don’t think that’s strange?”
“Erm… what do you mean?”
“The people he cared...
