Rin Has A Boyfriend

Title: Rin Has A Boyfriend
Rating: K
Genre: One-shot, Drabble, Post-Manga, General
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Kagome/Sesshomaru/Rin
Status: Complete
Summary: Kagome attempts to deliver her own brand of advice to a moody Sesshomaru after he discovers Rin's new boyfriend.
Author's Comments: This was another drabble I wrote while I was in Scotland. It's amazing how getting away from it all can get your muses working again! This was submitted to the iyfic_contest LJ group for their prompt "Independence". I really like how this one came together with the characterizations - everyone just seemed to work well together so I walked away a happy camper. I was lucky enough to have this one place first too!

Paper Lantern Indulgence

Title: Paper Lantern Indulgence
Rating: K
Genre: One-shot, Drabble, Post-Manga, General
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Inuyasha/Kagome/Sesshomaru/Rin
Status: Complete
Summary: Kagome discovers Sesshomaru's secret - and it's up to her to decide whether she's going to keep it.
Author's Comments: I wrote this during one of my many sleepless nights during my most recent vacation to Scotland. I'm not sure what inspired this particular scene, really, but I could see it perfectly in my mind - right down the the last coloured streamer. It came out exactly how I'd hoped it would so I'm really glad people enjoyed reading it as much as they did.

Someday

Title: Someday
Rating: K+
Genre: One-shot, Drabble, Post-Manga, Romance
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Kohaku/Rin
Status: Complete
Summary: "She, alone, could bring him happiness. He knew it just as surely as he knew that 1 + 1 equalled 2 and that his sickle’s chain was exactly one half the length of a semachi. But it wasn’t as easy as that."
Author's Comments: This was my first attempt at a Kohaku/Rin pairing. The more I think about it the more I think these two work well together. I could easily see him developing feelings for her as he got older and being equally as jealous of her adoration for Sesshomaru.

I found Kohaku tricky to characterize since we don't really get to see much of him in the series. His actions always seem to be predetermined by others in his life - his father, Naraku, and later Sesshomaru - so it's difficult to ascertain what his individual motives and drives might be.

Anyhow, this one got a really decent reception so I might just have to try my hand at more Kohaku/Rin. I'd love to get a full length fic out for them, even if it's a short one - maybe even an expansion on this idea.

My Sanctuary

Title: My Sanctuary
Rating: T
Genre: One-shot, Drabble, Post-Manga, Romance
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Sesshomaru/Kagome
Status: Complete
Summary: "When the day was over and all the world’s obligations were met, they would return to this place, together, and find each other once again."
Author's Comments: I wrote this as a giftfic for LuxKen27, one of my favourite writers in the Inuyasha fandom. Her only stipulation was that she wanted a romantic snapshot of daily life for her favourite pairing and this is what I was able to come up with - an intimate morning scene that conveys their mutual love for each other without any words needing to be spoken. My Sanctuary was nominated for a Dokuga Award in the 2nd Q 2009 and took home second place for Best Oneshot.

Pride, Before the Fall

Title: Pride, Before the Fall
Rating: M
Genre: Serial, AU, Romance, Angst, Drama
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Sesshomaru/Kagome
Status: Complete
Summary: A series of drabbles written for the weekly challenges at LJ's dokuga_contest group. Everyone has secrets, some more damaging than others. For these two lovers its those inconsequential secrets that lead to their undoing. When all is said and done, can they set pride aside and find each other once again?
Author's Comments: This was my first attempt at writing a serial, one based on weekly challenge prompts, no less. When I started writing this collection I thought it might be interesting to trace the relationship backward from the end to see where things had gone wrong. I alternated each entry between Sesshomaru and Kagome's view points so that the reader could see the story from both of their perspectives. It was a really neat experiment and got a surprising reception. It was also my first attempt at writing anything Sess/Kag since I wrote SOSC - tricky but worth the effort!

Excess Baggage

Title: Excess Baggage
Rating: T
Genre: One-shot, Drabble, Canon, Angst, Romance
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Inuyasha/Kagome
Status: Complete
Summary: "If I closed my eyes, it was almost like I was there again, right back in that moment when Fate decided to part us. There were so many things that I wish I could’ve said to him, things that would never have the opportunity to be heard. It had been three years since that moment and I still couldn’t move past it. I refused to accept that this, this life, this boring, un-fulfilling, meaningless existence was my destiny. It felt wrong, in every way; it felt empty."
Author's Comments: I wrote this for the IYFIC weekly drabble contest on LJ. The theme we had to explore was "Baggage". After the end of the manga I really wanted to write a piece that explored the emotional struggle Inuyasha and Kagome must have gone through during their three year forced separation. I hope that came across in this piece. This one ended up winning first place for the challenge.

Inferno

Title: Inferno
Rating: M
Genre: One-shot, Drabble, Canon, Angst, Romance
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Open to Interpretation
Status: Complete
Summary: "You feel it too, don’t you? The burn that spreads like rampant wildfire through your veins…?"
Author's Comments: I wrote this for the IYFIC weekly drabble contest on LJ. The theme we had to explore was "Burn". I intentionally left the pairing open to interpretation, but I saw both Inuyasha/Kagome and Sess/Rin at different parts. Though I heard some interesting variants - Miroku Jaken? This one ended up winning third place for that week.

License to Kill

Title: License to Kill
Rating: M
Genre: One-shot, Drabble, Canon, Angst, Romance
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Kikyou and Oniguomo
Status: Complete
Summary: "It was the village children who first made her aware of his existence. The 'monster in the cave', they called him."
Author's Comments: I wrote this for the IYFIC weekly drabble contest on LJ. The theme we had to explore was "Non Canon Pairings". I thought up this particular idea while riding my bike home from the library late one night. It was obvious to me that Oniguomo loved Kikyou in his own twisted way, so I wanted to delve into his mind to explore that a bit. This one ended up winning first place for that week.

The Loyal Servant

Title: The Loyal Servant
Rating: G
Genre: One-shot, Drabble, Canon, Introspective
Series: Inuyasha
Main Characters: Tenseiga
Status: Complete
Summary: "If you think you understand my relationship with Sesshomaru, I can tell you that you are mistaken."
Author's Comments: I wrote this for the IYFIC weekly drabble contest on LJ. The theme we had to explore was "Power". I'm not sure why I settled on Tenseiga. It occurred to me that everything that ended up being important to Sesshomaru was a direct result of that sword's power and his decision to bend to its will. The drabble turned out pretty good, I think, and won first place that week.
