Thistle While You Work

For the @magicalmonthlyprompts July 2022 and a thank you to the wonderful @sagemcmae for making my "Team Happy Ending" badge official.

Prompts: Larkspur (vivacity, charm), Ruby, Florist/Flower Shop

Summary: Running errands with his mother always ends up more complicated than it should be.

Read it on Ao3, Dokuga, and FFnet.

Sneak Peek

Sesshoumaru sighed as his mother puttered around the flower shop. These errands always took forever, as she was indecisive about which bloom she wanted. 

“Izayoi will not care which flower you bring, Mother,” he said, leaning against the counter. 

“That is not the point, dear son,” she replied, waving him off as she passed a bouquet of lilies, making a face at their strong scent. “The gift must be chosen with care so as to communicate vivacity and charm. Plus, her sense of smell has been heightened due to the pregnancy.” 

“I will never understand how you are able to get along with her so well. She is the reason Father left you.”

Kimiko sighed. “I have told you; my alliance with your father was in name only, forced upon both of us for the sake of council. We were not even truly mated.” 

“He has chosen a human spouse.”

“He fell in love, pup. Something I hope you will do someday.” She tugged on his tie, then flipped it over his shoulder as she walked by. “And when you find them, they force you to loosen up.”

Read it on Ao3, Dokuga, and FFnet.

Summary: Kagome finds a den that proves to be a lovely escape from the village and her responsibilities therein, not realizing that it actually belongs to someone she knows.

Sneak Peek

It started as happenstance, a place she'd taken shelter from during a sudden storm. The rain never bothered her, but the lightning flashing across the sky had made her wary, and she'd been forced into the nearest cave.

Or what she'd assumed was a cave.

Kagome had ventured a little further in and had realized that the space actually belonged to someone. There had been a small firepit, as well as a basket of fruit, proving that the owner had only recently vacated the premises.

The lush pile of furs in the back had her settling in for the night instead of waiting at the mouth of the cave. She'd been on her way back to the village after disposing of a nasty worm youkai poisoning the villagers' soil and had planned on collapsing on her futon as soon as she made it inside her hut.

The furs had been so inviting, the scent of earth and pine lulling her into a deep, restful sleep as soon as she'd laid down. She'd expected to be jarred awake by the den's owner, but as morning dawned bright and clear, there had been no indication of anyone but herself being there during the night.

And so, she'd left, noting where the cave was, but assuming she'd never be back.
