LMM 277: Carry On
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 needs some air.

Carry On
Jacques was curious about the imminent birth—or births—but he knew his place. Taking Argent by the elbow, he announced to the room at large, “Keep calm and carry on! We’ll make...

Fandom Foray
Ko-fi Event. It’s time for a little fanfic splurge. I’m not sure how far I’ll get, but I’ll be updating Vassal and Unexpected today. You can join me over on my Ko-fi account in order to suggest prompts and catch updates. Planning to jump in and work up at least a few chapters, starting at 11am (Pacific).

Mood Stripes 257: Crowded
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the careful one. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 257: Crowded
The chosen den was far from spacious. The inu-brothers had to angle their shoulders to crawl through the entrance.
Kohaku banked the fire over which they’d prepared dinner and promised, “I’ll keep watch from here. With Shishi.”
Kagome dro...

Last to Know
Jacques had to jog to keep up with Argent and Michael. Hardly his forte, so he missed some of their exchange.
“…seclusion?” asked Argent, whose tails were puffed do...

Bard & Barbarian
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch25, “Fidelio.” Family traditions in the offing. Possibly ominous. Then again, the twins did promise it would only hurt a little.
Bard & Barbarian
Narrated Edition. Bard and Barbarian has been posting slow and steady over on my Patreon account. Reading along is great, but supporters on some tiers can now listen along. Ch12, “At the Pike & Lager” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch8, “Nameless” just unlocked for the Twinkle and Sparkle tiers.

Jacques was better at conversational Japanese, but Argent had the highest of expectations. So Jacques was still toiling over a kanji quiz when a light rap int...

ART: Partners
Elite Taskforce. Now that we’re gearing up for the October release of Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate, I can share a bit of this and that. Hopefully, you’re as excited as I am for this next installment in the Amaranthine Saga. Book 5’s summary mentions Hisoka Twineshaft’s “elite taskforce,” which I don’t mind telling you consists of six people, who are paired off into two-person teams. Way back in Book 2, you learned that Juuyu Farroost’s partner is Sinder Stonecairne. So … we’ll start with know...

Chapter 256: Right
Back straight, face forward, Inuyasha led the way astride Shishi.
Sesshoumaru beckoned to Kagome. “I will carry you.”
“I can walk,” she protested.
“Greater speed is called for.”
“Is there danger nearby?”
“No threat exce...
