Bard & Barbarian

Ch10, “Larking in Brindleby” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch6, “Turn on the Charm” just unlocked for the Twinkle and Sparkle tiers.

LMM 270: Room for One More
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 all right.

Room for One More
“Deece and I were helping Gilen adjust to his new home.”
Nonny rolled his eyes. “He’s fine now.”
“Care to join?”
“Duh.”
“I’ll let Deece know to expect you. Mi...

Mood Stripes 253: Relaxed
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one in charge. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 253: Relaxed
Kagome knew Sesshoumaru wasn’t talking about murder. He wasn’t being cryptic or mysterious. A life for a life. His for her. Hers for him.
“I don’t know how to respond.”
“There is time.”
The gazing resumed, and Kagome slowly relaxed. ...
LMM 269: At that Age
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 with a grievance of sorts.

At that Age
“Do we know how old you are?”
Nonny shrugged. “I’m about Gilen’s size. He’s nine.”
Jacques cautiously suggested, “You’re probably older. Goat clan runs small.

LMM 268: In the Closet
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 probably should be furious.

In the Closet
“Welcome to the closet.” Jacques gestured to his domain. “I’m a valet, of sorts. Lord Mettlebright’s wardrobe is mine to manage.”
Nonny gazed around, clearl...

LMM 267: Quibble
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 a young goat. Well, half-goat.

Quibble
Nonny shuffled closer but mumbled, “Stop treating me like a kid.”
“Is that a joke?”
The boy responded with a string of profanity.
Jacques laughed and p...

Okay, so … head canon
Vassal. Some of my reviewers are confused because Miroku believes he is returning to the Western Lady’s airborne castle. I mean, that was canon. I can picture the panels clearly. The lady. The stairs. The … oh. Oh, wait.
So. If something happened in Unspoiled, it’s still pretty much canon. Right? ::facepalm:: Do I fix it … or leave it?

Best Hoof Forward
Argent excused himself, and Jacques ventured, “Do you even want an inside job? I’ve always thought of you as the outdoorsy type.”
Nonny glared. “Because goats are livestock?”

Lord Mettlebright’s Man. I hope you’ve been enjoying the (mostly) daily updates to LMM all month. As we’re nearing the last handful of days, I’ve decided to open up an offer for MOAR Jacques, this time in your mailbox. This is the sort of thing I send to patrons who support me over on my Patreon account. (Incentives abound!) However, I printed extras, and Jacques is generous. (Well, sort of.) So on this Fandom Foray day, when I’ll already be hanging out on my Ko-fi account, I invite you to buy J...
4th Saturday
Fandom Foray. I set aside today for a bit of fandom frittering. I’m dusting off Vassal after a 2-month lull, and I’ll have an update to Unexpected ready to crown the day. If you have time to drop by my Ko-fi account, be sure to add a few prompts to my options for drabbling. I love variety.
