Recommended by KillingPerfection143 & @kaoruhana08

"She has some really cool, funny, romantic SessKag fanfics and some others but I only read SessKag so.. and she apparently last uploaded something in 2010 or so. She has a well deserved right to be in this list. Her work needs to reach more people even though she's not active." - KillingPerfection143

"MissTeak was a huge contributor to the fandom in the late 2000's, early 2010's. She's actually the one who got me into SessKag. Her effortless way of creating so many scenarios for the pair left me breathless and I will always feel my heart ache for our favorite pair when I read Wisteria or Once Upon A Time in Edo." - @kaoruhana08

Happiest Christmas Rated T. From 2009. One Shot. Summary: Last Christmas, Sesshoumaru had been around to hold her hand. No matter how cold it got, he had the magical ability to warm her up from head to toe. They would stroll along the streets illuminated by merry Christmas lights that shone like a thousand amber gem stones. Today, she was walking alone, and had no idea how long she could take it. But Christmas never came without magic, or love, for that matter…

Happy Father's Day, Inupapa! Rated K. From 2009. One Shot. Summary: [Response to InuYoukaiLiz' Father's Day challenge] As they all say, Kagome is the only one who can make Sesshoumaru do anything and get away with it. This Father's day, just for Inupapa, her grand plan involves baking a chocolate fudge cake, a thank you speech and a hug…(Warning: Hilarity ahead at Sesshoumaru's expense.)

Happily Ever After Rated MA. From 2010-2011. Incomplete. Chapter fic. Summary: (1st place for Best Romance, Best Drama and Best AU/AR, Dokuga Awards 2nd Quarter 2010) Struggling to maintain her old family shrine, Higurashi Kagome could not be more thankful for the miracle that came in the form of a letter telling her that the Higurashi family owned forty percent of a traditional Japanese inn in Tsumago, Nagano prefecture. However, in exchange for the profits made by Shiraito inn, Kagome would have to marry the devastatingly handsome yet arrogant owner and serve as the inn's okami. Happily ever after? No way!

KH: "the only SessKag work that I would give arms and legs for her to finish. If you don't know me as an author, here's a secret: I never would have become half the writer I was without this story. The setting, the characters, the slow burn, the plot: even years later I see the influence of this strangers getting married trope in my writing. This is hands down, in my opinion" the best arranged marriage SessKag AU ever."

I knew you'd marry me Rated K. From 2010. One Shot. Summary: \"Higurashi Kagome!\" He had called out in his childish voice. \"You will marry me.\" Kagome takes a trip back on memory lane on her wedding day, recalling how her husband Sesshoumaru first proposed to her at the age of six, armed with nothing but a bunch of wilted daisies and a plastic pink ring from Toys R Us.

Jealous of you Rated K+. From 2009. One Shot. Summary: "Dearest Sesshoumaru, I've created a list of five reasons as to why I am jealous of you. 1) 'You have prettier hair'…" Kagome is jealous of her lovely husband, and the list goes on in this sweet little oneshot. Done for fun, joy and laughter! Please drown in the fluff!

Just turn around…and fall in love Rated T. From 2010. One Shot. Summary: Would you believe that love was just a turn away? A chance meeting at a high school carnival left them in each other's minds, but Fate had decided to play a little game with them in the modern city of Tokyo. She had always been around him, as he had always been around her, yet they have never met for a second time. Neither knew that all they had to do was turn around, and fall in love. (inspired by r0o's lovely fanart 'Separate Ways')

KH: "I love this oneshot of missed meetings. And I think this story over all others influenced my take on how to write SessKag as it shows a lovely modern take on SessKag."

Kinky Ramen Rated MA. From 2009. One Shot. Summary: 2nd place for Best Oneshot - Dokuga 4th Quarter Awards '09 (Response to Kirai's Funny Edible one shot challenge - rated for hot, hot sexual content and hilarity) All Kagome wanted to was to have sex in peace with her husband, but what was a couple to do when their little daughter was around? "Rin, Daddy and Mommy are going to eat ramen in our room now. Don't come upstairs."

Once upon an Edo night + The Sequel Rated MA. From 2009. Complete. Chapter fic. Summary: On a moonlit summer night in Edo, 1639, a famous courtesan from the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters met a demon lord in a bizarre chance meeting moments before she took her own life by jumping off the Nihonbashi. In modern Tokyo, 2009, Higurashi Kagome and Takahashi Sesshoumaru were strolling along the Nihonbashi when their entwined fates from 370 years ago, once upon an Edo night, came back in a crease in time to revisit them.

KH: "This is truly a second chances tale. The historical portion from Edo is full of angst and heartbreak and your heart aches for Kagome despite the smut. The modern portion makes you want to cheer on their reunion. Thevhistorical details are also very good."

Rumor has it Rated MA. From 2009-2010. Complete. Chapter fic. Summary: “I swear, Sesshoumaru is gay.” Inuyasha said dramatically amidst murmurs of agreement. “Totally! He never really talks to or looks at other women.” Kagome agreed excitedly. Inuyasha had replied, “But we have no proof.” And that’s how one conversation led to Higurashi Kagome being caught in a dare – to prove on Christmas that Taisho Sesshoumaru is gay. MissTeak\\'s three-chapter response to Kirai\\'s Christmas challenge!

KH: "is a hilarious take on Kagome making assumptions about Seshomaru and learning just how very wrong she is."

The Adventures of Chibimaru and Gang Rated K. From 2010-2013. incomplete. Drabble fic. Summary: The title says it all! A collection of MissTeak's attempts at cute, funny stories revolving around a six year-old Chibimaru and Gang in their daily lives. If you've enjoyed 'I knew you'd marry me', this is the one for you!

KH: "I think I go back to read this once a year because it leaves me in stitches. Trust me, we'll all want to know more about the little chaotic terror that is Sesshomaru after reading this."

The Third Parties Rated M. From 2009-2010. Complete. Chapter fic. Summary: [COMPLETED] "If I keep reminding myself of how wrong my feelings for her are, I might finally do something right." She was the third party in his half-brother's three-year relationship. He was merely a good friend. Watching her get hurt over and over again, Taisho Sesshoumaru wanted to tell Higurashi Kagome to let go. Yet he could not, not when he knows he could never let go of her just like how she could never let go of Inuyasha.

KH: "I love this one because I love the character growth we see for both characters as the story progresses, but mostly love how Kagome's is portrayed."

Wisteria Rated MA. From 2009-2010. Incomplete. Chapter fic. Summary: [1st for Best Drama and Best Romance - Dokuga Awards 1st Quarter '10] Wisteria is like the sleeve of a maiden, lovelier when it is cared for… Kagome was abducted and brought to Western Gion, where the famous flower streets are. By virtue of her pretty face, she was adopted into a geisha house and trained in the ways of a geisha under the name of Fuji, the Wisteria. Escape was not a option in this beautiful illusion, and Kagome found herself increasingly detached from her old life…until fate throws a figure of her past in her path again…

KH: "a must read for the heavy angst. It's never been completed but it pulls at your heartstrings and doesn't let you go."

XXX-ing in Bed Rated M. From 2009. One Shot. Summary: [Oneshot] A sweet, sexy oneshot exploring our favorite couple's life after marriage! Ever imagined how their married life is like? Especially in bed? What do they exactly do in bed in the privacy of their home?

‘Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods, and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.’ William Allingham Captures from the Nakasendo trail which is a historic path that connects Kyoto and Tokyo. Once used by the Samuri it winds through mountains and beautifully persevered post towns. It definitely felt like autumn had eluded us so far on our trip but I think it had been waiting until now. I walked 12km starting at Nagiso, through Tsumago-Juku and ending at Magomejuku. To see Japan in autumn colours ended up being one the highlights of my trip 🍁🍂🍃 | by francesmehardie

[unremarkablelunacy]

Such a nifty place, especially after walking on the Nakasendo from Magome-juku (also very lovely) ❤

Tsumago-juku

[spendingtime]

Narita, Nakatsugawa, Magome, Tsumago, Kiso, Yabuhara y Narai

En el aeropuerto, las maletas salen por la cinta perfectamente colocadas.

Áreas de descanso sin gasolinera, pero con una especie de food hall, con distintos tipos de negocios de comida donde comer o comprar.

Límite de velocidad a 80 en autovía que nadie respeta.

Nakatsugawa y su calle, en mi imaginario típica, no muy ancha, con arbolitos en los laterales y cables cruzando.

Mi primer onsen (en realidad sento).

Onsen: recinto para bañarse baño tipo balneario de aguas termales naturales.

Sento: igual que el onsen pero sin ser aguas naturales.

Rotenburo: lo mismo que el onsen pero al aire libre.

Visitar los baños termales es un acto cultural, social y conlleva un ritual. Generalmente acudes vestido con un yukata o un samue Hombres y mujeres por separado, todo el tiempo. Una toalla de ducha y otra más pequeña. No está permitido ningún tipo de traje de baño. En el vestuario hay que desnudarse y coger la toalla pequeña para entrar en la zona de aguas y taparse ligeramente por encima si así se prefiere, mientras uno se desplaza. En la sala hay una pared con unos cuantos habitáculos separados por un murete de altura media (en algunos no hay muro). En cada habitáculo hay un espejo, un taburete bajito con una repisa a la misma altura (a un palmo del suelo) sobre el que está apoyada una palangana de madera o plástico donde cae el agua del grifo de la ducha que aparte también tiene alcachofa. Sobre la repisa, botes grandes de champú y jabón. Uno se ducha sentado, para preservar intimidad y no salpicar al resto. La limpieza corporal es a conciencia y siempre previo a entrar en las bañeras o piscinas. Allí entra uno limpio. Se trata de un momento de relajación. Cuando uno lo estima oportuno se sale, se puede volver a duchar y antes de ir a la zona de vestuario se ha de secar bien, para no salir mojado. En el vestuario suele haber de todo, secador y cremas, todo dispuesto para irse a la cama o comenzar el día. Porque lo más curioso de estos baños es el horario, suelen abrir desde media tarde hasta primera hora de la mañana, como para dar servicio tanto a los que prefieren ducharse por la noche como a los de por la mañana. Y durante el horario laboral permanecen cerrados.

No sabemos todavía a qué hora amanece pero a las seis es completamente de día. Y a las cinco de la tarde es completamente de noche.

Ir tocando las campanas para auyentar a los osos en el tramo de la ruta Nakasendo entre Magome y Tsumago.

Los jardines de las casas con los árboles y arbustos perfectamente recortados y arreglados.

Mi primer soba.

La tienda de cerámicas de segunda mano, la gymkana fotográfica del samurai y la tarta con deliciosa nata en Narai. Hasta Dani quería repetir.

Photo of the Day: The Road to Edo

This is the old Nakasendo, an old samurai road that goes from Kyoto to Tokyo. This is Magome-juku, one of the central government’s checkpoints. The shogunal government liked to keep track of the comings and goings of people along the road. besides being a checkpoint, it was also a place where the lords and their entourages could lodge for the night. The road between Magome and Tsumago is still…
