Inu-Spiration - I'm Only Human

This is a piece for Inu-Spiration 5. All the art here is drawn by our much beloved @mamabearcat. She sent me an amazing piece, and it was so awesome. I told her my idea and then it just spiraled and the more I sent her the more she sent me, and I'm so glad that I can finally share this with you all.

Summary: The gang is stuck out in the woods on the night of the new moon with a storm approaching no less. Thankfully, they've been welcomed into a nearby home, and the hosts are more than willing to accommodate all of them, but something definitely seems not right.

You can read "I'm Only Human" here.

It's actually Friday here in Oz, so I'm being fashionably late. But @elkonigin and I are cooking up something together for Halloween @inu-spiration which we hope you'll enjoy.

This isn't the main piece of art, but one of the little extra watercolour sketches to whet your appetite. By the pricking of my thumbs...

Inu-spiration 5: A Halloween Reverse Bang

Mark your calendars!

Sign-ups open May 1 for artists; May 8 for writers

[fawn-eyed-girl]

Hi everyone! For this iteration of @inu-spiration, I have been partnered with the talented @razdazberry, and OH have we got some plans for you!

How about a little KogKag exes to lovers, some badass Kagome, some very sexy Koga, and a lot of action, all for this upcoming Halloween night?

Preview below the cut!

A sudden flash of light had Kagome squinting. There was a whoosh as the snake was ripped away from her body, and a resounding smack as it bent in half and flung against the window, where it shimmered and exploded, its innards flying about the car.

Tsubaki howled, then screeched as she, too, was bent nearly in half, her dark reiki spilling out of her hands and melting the carpet below. 

But Kagome wasn’t watching that; she was looking at Tsubaki and the way she was huffing, still folded over…

Almost like she’d been kicked.

A surge of yōki filled the cabin, dark green and billowing. Kagome gasped, because she knew, she knew who this was and…

She was scooped up into a pair of muscular arms, her skirt swishing around her. Her body shifted, nearly out of her control, but then a deep, husky voice breathed into her ear:

“Get on my back, sweetheart, if you still remember how.”

I'm so lucky to be able to partner up with @lavendertwilight89 for the @inu-spiration reverse bang this Halloween! This is just a glimpse of what I'll be sharing next week, and the story that goes with it is *chef's kiss* 💚

This is my entry/contribution to the Inu-Spiration event 2023!

I was paired up with the amazing @sereia1313 for the Reverse Bang, which has been an amazing experience. ♥

This goes with the fic Tethered on AO3. ♥

[shade-without-color]

You enter, and the door closes behind you. [Read it at A03]

Do be warned that the following heavy subjects will be discussed for the following fanfic: gaslighting, violence against women, sexual violence, eating disorders, religious topics, torture, and blood, so please take care of yourself if you are uncomfortable with the following topics

Summary: Midoriko was called by two representatives from the dilapidated Qilin house to marry the Lord of the house, with a set of keys as her wedding gift. Curiosity took over Midoriko when she encountered a red-haired stranger at her wedding leading her to explore the mansion's mysteries with that said set of keys.

So surprise! For @inu-spiration Halloween reverse bang I work with the amazing @mrfeenysmustache on this chilling feminine horror tale!, I could go easily for a Middle Ages AU, but instead, I want to challenge myself to write a genre that I never did, as I was obsessed with listening to or watching playthroughs of Bluebeard's Bride; which you play as the new wife of Bluebeard which you explored the house with chilling horrors or frightening servants, figuring the truth about her new husband.

I am super proud I worked on this story, despite that I am not a horror writing genre myself (I dabble a little from time to time), and I am so glad that I took that plunge though I have some scares for myself. To dive into my dark inner demons to narrate a tale of strength and grit from us women despite bleak situations.

A huge shoutout to @witchygirl99 for helping me to beta this project despite that technology did not agree with us and being so game for this project.

Enjoy this creepy creepy tale fitting for Halloween, and oh I made a playlist for your listening pleasure

So get cozy y'all for a spooky tale!

So here is Feeny's gorgeous work under the cut!

Happy Inu-Spiration 4! This year, I got to work with @eliza-faust-diary and let me tell you something, this woman is amazing! She created this piece of work that was absolutely perfect and was better than anything I could have ever expected. 💕 Now, without further ado, enjoy this piece of work we created together. Happy 2023!

Love, Death, and Chocolate Cake

Summary: After the unexpected death of the sister, Kagome must navigate a restaurant, grief and a new person in her life.

“Order’s up!”

“I need a hot fudge sundae for table 23!”

Ring, ring, ring.

“Can I get birthday singers?”

“Anyone seen Adam? His table needs him.”

“Hello, thank you for calling Italiano, how may I help you?”

Buzz, print. Buzz, print.

“Shippo! Table 5 is sat with four.”

Kagome ripped the ticket off the printer, her focus solely on the expo line in front of her. It was Friday night, the dinner service was just getting started, and her reservation list was full for the entire evening. Of course, this was the one night Kikyo had to take off. Shaking her head, she grabbed the parsley, plucking the perfect length to lay across the chicken parmesan.

Almost time for the next two chapters of Nextlahualtin to go up! Update Tuesday is comiiiing. I've never had an 'update day' before, this is interesting for me.

As always thanks to the very fabulous @moonkissedart for creating this world and drawing the art that inspired (inuspired?) this Inu-Spiration 5 fic!

InuSpiration - Smashing Pumpkins

This story is a submission for Inu-Spiration 5. All the art for this piece has been drawn by @brain-rot-hour, who sent me the original piece and then just kept sending me more and more as the story never stopped. I was only given this opportunity to write because @serial-doubters-club allowed me the honor of taking her idea and running off like a banshee into the night. Thank you so much for letting me have it and make it into this.

Summary: "But sometimes a someone is so hard to find And I'll do anything to keep her here tonight And I'll say anything to make her feel alright And I'll be anything to to keep her here tonight 'Cause I want you to stay, with me I need you tonight She comes to me like an angel out of time As I play the part of a saint on my knees There are some things I'll live without But I want you to know that I need you right now"

Day 7: Family Time

Summary: Inuyasha never imagined he'd find a place to call home until Kagome gave him a place to belong to.

I DID IT!!! This is the very first event in which I've participated every single day!!! Woo!!!

First and foremost, I would like to thank @inukagfluffweek for all of their hard work and dedication to running this event and giving us yet another opportunity to demonstrate our profound love for InuKag <3

Secondly, I want to thank everyone that has read, kudoed, commented on, bookmarked, and shared my stories on AO3 and on Tumblr, as well. As a baby writer, it means the world to me that people would take the time to read, enjoy, and provide feedback on my stories. Yes, I'm giving a speech. Sue me. I have seen all of your wonderful comments, and I promise to respond to each and every one because they mean everything to me and keep me going and wanting to improve! Thank you! Thank you! Ok, I'm off to cry now!

Preview:

The first time Inuyasha entered Kagome's home he'd been an intruder. He'd barged into her dining room and ripped her away from the table to take her back to the Feudal Era while her family looked on in awe.

Today he'd been invited to sit at that very table as a guest.

Written for @inu-spiration (Reverse Solstice Bang 2022)

I had the absolute pleasure of being paired with the incredibly talented @valuvi! Her beautiful art piece, which you can view here, inspired so many beautiful ideas and scenes that went into the making of this story.

Please make sure to go and give her artwork lots and lots of love because it's so amazing and will take your breath away!

B-Side (Read on AO3)

Summary: Inuyasha is a photographer assigned to cover a local music festival. When one of the performers sings a song written by his mother, a song only the two of them could possibly know, his world is turned upside down. Inuyasha may have to come to terms with the fact that his mother kept a secret that she took to the grave. A Modern AU. Pairing: InuKag. Rated T (for language)

I love that Bankotsu thought he had the advantage when Hakushin's dokko exorcised tessaiga.

My #1 post of 2022

Excuse me, I'm still not over how sweet and tender this scene is:

From Kagome using her scarf to wipe the sweat from his forehead...

To Inuyasha being touched by Kagome crying for him because she thought he might die and asking to lie on her lap...
