[okayfinethisismyinuyashablog]

File under: oddly heavy fic rec...

I read the story "So Now We'll Let the Rain Fall" by @witchygirl99 today and it fucked me up in the best possible way. High school au, hurt/comfort, Inuyasha is a foster kid and he's in a terrible situation, but he's sticking it out so that he can stay with the only person who matters. This story captures that feeling of sucking it up in an unbearable situation because everything is so fucked up, but you're not going to let it destroy the small happiness you've found that makes counting the days until you're finally free worth it.

I'm so emotionally compromised.

I don't know how many people in this fandom are drawn to it because one of the main characters had an exceptionally shitty childhood and they can identify, but I know that aspect of Inuyasha's character has always resonated with me pretty hard, especially the part where he remains a good person regardless of the shit he had to deal with, all the while convinced that he's a monster. I spent years in the headspace where I was like, "Okay I get it. I'm a selfish asshole. It's better for me and everyone around me if I'm just alone." And luckily I had someone who was just stupid wholesome and they stuck by me even when I was being a self loathing dick and helped pull me out from there. And it's a good thing because I don't know if I would have seen much point in survival otherwise. It wasn't always easy, but we made it out and right now life is stable and calm and good and nice and the complete opposite of how it was when I was growing up.

Anyway, whether you identify most with the idea of enduring physical and/or psychological torture because you recognize your own lack of agency BUT you're also not going to let that lack of agency cause you to do shit in the short term that would fuck up your life long term OR you're a precious cinnamon roll to a stormy rain cloud who only ever seems to brighten up around you, this is a really, really good story.

You can also just be a fan of hurt/comfort as well. 😆

For the REAL fic writer asks!

🌈is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

Hello @witchygirl99! Always lovely to see you in my inbox.

I think anything action-related falls into this category. There's a scene in The Selection Process and Whirlwind where Kagome is battling someone/thing and trying to keep the reader engaged while also describing the movement AND scenery is HARD. I can full see what I want her to do, the fighting is like a dance in my head, but actually getting it down on "paper" is a struggle.

Thanks for sending me a Real Fic Writer Ask!

Mating Fever - Chapter 5's illustration. Some MirSan as the feature this time! It's been a subtle pattern with the last few, but I wanted to try to highlight a character or set of characters that I'm drawing more of in a given chapter.

Inuvember 2023 Part 1

In honor of @inuvember InuKag Day, the Archive Mods have put together a 30 item InuKag recommendation list: one InuKag fic per prompt. Since this list is longer than our usual, we've split it into two parts. Enjoy!

Day 1 Inuyasha

I Hate That Fucking Well by @kstewdeux (M)

Post-manga. Inuyasha POV. Inuyasha's inner thoughts and monologues. Rated M for fucking language

Day 2 Kagome

Cinnamon Hearts by @fandomobsessions016 (M)

"So, you may be wondering, what’s this story about anyway? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s about how this queen, almost lost her crown, her throne, but worst of all… it’s about how this queen almost lost her king…

Hindsight, of course, has perfect vision, but at the time I did not. I was a girl becoming a woman who fought bitterly against change that was inevitable. I didn’t want to open my eyes. I didn’t want to see what was right in front of me.

What I wanted more than anything was to keep Inuyasha.

High school forced my eyes open, tested our “unshakable” bond and made me confront my biggest fear. All because…

I caught feelings for my best friend.

I like-liked my king."

Day 3 Sango

Forever Home by KittyKatz (M)

How long had he roamed the earth in a form that was not his? Beaten, dirty and caged, he finds one last bit of fortune when she comes to rescue him from this place. But his road to redemption will not be easy. And he will find, that no matter how the world has changed, his old enemy remains. And this time, they plan to destroy him once and for all.

Day 4 Miroku

Under the Northern Lights by @lostinfantasyworlds (E)

Kagome Higurashi has her dream job, working as a photographer for the internationally well-known Yugen magazine. Her career whisks her all around the world, leaving her feeling lonely sometimes but mostly just incredibly grateful to be doing what she loves. When she gets assigned to Alaska for a month to photograph a series of celestial events, she runs into Inuyasha, a half-demon who lives on his own in the middle of nowhere. A mutual attraction draws them to each other, but Kagome's time there is limited. Will giving in to their desire lead to love or heartbreak?

Day 5 Shippo

Oh, But You're Good To Me by @witchygirl99 (E)

It’s a terrible photo, really. The action figure takes up the entire bottom of the screen and part of both of their faces. Shippo’s giggling though, eyes shut and crinkled in his mirth while Inuyasha looks at him. His expression is clearly fond. It’s the softest Inuyasha has ever, ever seen himself.

This is fatherhood, he thinks a little wildly.

He sends the photo to Kagome.

Inuyasha is a single father. Shippo is his adopted son. Kagome isn't supposed to be in the picture, but somehow, she returns anyways. A story about family, love, and all of its obstacles.

Day 6 Sesshomaru

Whispers in the Wind by @ruddcatha (G)

It has been 500 years since Kagome jumped back down the well to be with Inuyasha. A messenger waits to see her family, and is joined by a surprising guest.

Day 7 Rin

My Life Before You by @len-barboza (E) -- based on a story by Mizune-mei

No English language summary provided. Inuyasha había vivido la mayoría de su vida huyendo, un huérfano medio demonio considerado por la gente una aberración, rechazado por demonios y por humanos, pero quien pensaría que esa era una mejor vida, al menos un propósito lo movía; sobrevivir, que sucede con un hanyo con una vida longeva, en completa soledad.

Day 8 Kikyou

Stolen Soul by Kimberly-A (T)

COMPLETE Kikyo uses a spell to exchange bodies with Kagome, leaving Kagome stuck in the dead shell and Kikyo comfortably human. In the aftermath, Inu-Yasha faces difficult choices. InuKag, not very Kikyo-friendly.

Day 9 Koga

A New Moon, A New Start by @pinestripes (T)

Kouga visits the village near the Sacred Tree. On this particular evening, he finds that a certain half-demon is more on edge than usual.

Day 10 Kagura

The Portal Between Worlds by @neutronstarship (E)

Ten years ago, a portal transported Inuyasha from the demon realm to the human realm. Now a half-demon alone in a world he doesn't understand, he will do anything to get home. When Onigumo brings him a book with all the answers, Inuyasha pushes aside his misgivings and works with the man. He just wants to get home, after all.

Kagome just wants to make an extra buck (and find demons), much to Kikyo’s chagrin. That is why she published Demons Among Us! after all. But strange things start happening when she puts the book online. As if people are using it to open the portals that it hypothesized… When Kagura and Sango join the fray, the stakes grow higher as they try to find the source of the portals.

When Inuyasha encounters Kagome, fate is not what it seems. Not one, but two realms are in danger for their survival. What happens when the final portal opens and an unknowable terror is unleashed? Can the Demon Hunters save the world?

Day 11 Naraku

You Rescued Me by @keizfanfiction (E)

Maybe it was fate that he decided to take the back way home that night, but whatever the reason, Inuyasha was grateful for arriving just in the nick of time to rescue a waif of a woman who had clearly been through hell. He never would have imagined that she would end up rescuing him, too.

Day 12 Band of Seven

Delicate by @akitokihojo (T)

To trust someone, to let them in, what an unsettling ordeal. Kagome is easy and safe, and Inuyasha is difficult and guarded. She can put him at ease with a smile, simultaneously setting him on edge. It was nothing until it was something, creating absolute chaos and uncertainty within the both of them.

Day 13 Jinenji/ Shiori

How Does Your Garden Grow? by @dawnrider (M)

An Ingary-esque AU: Kagome, the newest generation of caretakers of the Higurashi House, finally starts to feel like her garden and business is thriving with the help of her friend Jinenji. Their routine is thrown off by the arrival of an injured visitor who does not want to be found...

Day 14 Toga

Taisho School of Acting: A Quick Guide by @jeremymarsh (G)

“Excuse me, what?” Kagome looked at her best friend with eyes as big as saucers, lips parted, and her mind replaying what he had said a moment before – trying to find a sense but to no avail. “You heard me.” Inuyasha scowled, looking down, arms crossed and lips pouting, just like he did every time he didn’t like the topic at hand. The problem was he had started it this time. “Yeah, I did.” Kagome shook her head and inhaled deeply before she continued. “And that’s why I’m asking you to repeat yourself since I’m having problems believing that certain sentences left your mouth.” “I said,” Inuyasha started through clenched teeth, still not meeting her gaze, “come to my family Christmas dinner this Sunday.” He stopped, ran a hand through his silver mane, closed his eyes, murmured something unintelligible and then added: “As my girlfriend.”

Where Inuyasha tries to fool his parents and miserably fails.

Day 15 Izayoi

The Silence of Daisies by Fierywenchxo (T)

Inuyasha shares with Kagome one of the biggest secrets he's ever kept. One-shot.

My version of the Gala-night kiss from Leverage by @witchygirl99 If you haven’t read yet give it a try!

It was my first assassin theme fanfic, and I liked it a lot, so maybe not the last. The plan was a dark and bloody art, but my soul wanted something else. Maybe in the future.

[violetasteria]

🌀Keeps Getting Better🌀

Don’t call it an era, but I sure have been inspired by other fandom authors lately! 😘

I’m so excited to bring you a new one-shot companion to @witchygirl99′s Best Day Ever, where we finally learn what Sango was talking about when she said she’s seen him naked before 👀 💙

Read ✨Keeps Getting Better✨ on ao3 now! 🌀

Once again part of my heavily delayed (and even more delayed due to unexpected travel) @inumothership​ Fleet Week 2023!

Preview below the cut! PS - @classysassy9791 this is the one you’ve been waiting for 😉

This wasn’t like before, they were stone cold sober tonight. She couldn’t run, not without the questions following. While panic rose again within her, her brooding brown eyes found his once more and stared conflictingly into them for a moment. Those oceanic indigo eyes were swirling with questions now, ones she really wasn’t prepared to answer. 

 “This was a mistake,” she finally answered remorsefully. “I should go.” 

 As soon as the words left her mouth, she rolled out of his grasp, reaching quickly down to gather her clothes, carelessly discarded and scattered about his floor. In that moment, she was determined to escape once again, despite knowing full well that there was no way to avoid the conversation that was coming. Not this time. 

That’s when she felt his strong grasp around her wrist, lightly pulling her back towards him. A light gasp escaped her lips as she felt the warmth of his hand spread up to her chest. She stared back at him, wide brown eyes glistening with the tears she desperately wanted to hide. 

“Wait, don’t go,” he pleaded with her. His mesmerizing blue eyes pierced into her the same way it did in her prosecco haze all those months ago. A pink flush broke on her face again, and she felt her resolve slowly melting away. She clutched the sheet closer to her heaving chest, afraid of giving into him again. 

“Talk to me, Sango,” he begged, his voice full of concern now. “What’s going on?”

[willowandfog]

Inu-spiration Halloween Bang!

Hello! This is the CHAPTER THREE! It’s been a long time and this Halloween Bang is from last year... Sorry everyone, hope you enjoy this next chapter!

The amazing @mamabearcatfanart and I have brought you modern witch Kagome.

Read Witch’s Brew on AO3!

Summary: Beaten down from years of hate and discrimination, Inuyasha journeys to a town that he hopes will be a place to finally call home. As he learns what it means to be accepted and appreciated, he finds himself mesmerized by the voice and face of the most unlikely person, the town witch.
