Chapter 99: Willing
Inuyasha couldn’t resist adding, “Which ain’t likely. Only one Kagome’s ever promised to stay with is me. Even so, she’s not mine to give.”
“She’s also right here. And willing to listen.” Kagome placed a hand on Sesshoumaru’s chest, but...

How is Kyrie pronounced?
He Needed a Name. Questions related to Kyrie have come up from three or four different people this week. That’s FAQ levels of inquiry, so I thought I’d do a blog post. Who knows, maybe you’ve been wondering about this, too. ::twinkle::

Prompt Me, Please!
Smythe. Jacques Smythe. I have the teensiest smidge of wiggle room in my current writing schedule, so I’m going to be adding a 100-word slot to my day.

Teeth. Those were his teeth. Which was really not nice. Probably. There was a chance it was a dog-demon thing. Like proving he had the upper hand. Which was true, since she’d never hurt him. Ever.
But that didn’t make her weak. So she ignored...

Scroll, scroll, scroll…
Since it’s become a bit buried and many of you are only now reading/finishing Tamiko and the Two Janitors, I’ll point you to the post where you can compare notes, speculate, and generally squee.
Also, don’t forget we have a twofold Photo Challenge running for the month of August. I have a handful of entries already. Keep them coming! ::twinkle::
