Battle Scars (now AO3)

She doesn’t feel accomplished. Coming home didn’t fill her with a sense of relief. Kagome feels like a part of her is missing. A phantom sensation lingers, a cruel reminder of what she’s lost. She wonders if Sesshomaru felt the same after Inuyasha chopped off his arm. How did he manage the pain? How will she?

After wishing the Jewel out of existence, Kagome embarks on a path to healing. She decides to use her new skills to help others. Defeating Naraku was a challenge. Starting her clinic is harder, but she refuses to back down, especially when it comes to her latest patient: Sesshomaru.

A SessKag Post-Canon fic about healing and love

Had a blast collaborating on this fic with @moon-ion​ @sereia1313​ and @yumanichan​

Uprooted

Another wonderful one-line-at-a-time collab with @sagemcmae @moon-ion and @yumanichan! Sage also provided the mood board, and Yumani has an ethereal piece of artwork included in the fic as well.

Summary: While doing research for a personal endeavour, Kagome stumbles upon something infecting the forest, along with its stoic guardian.

Read it on Ao3.

Sneak Peek

You are all the same, the pitch and volume of the voice changed, but the contempt stayed the same, washing over her as the branches poked and probed. You claim innocence in one breath while nothing but destruction is in your wake.

"I…" She trailed off. The forest voice had a point, as weird as it was to say that.

Kagome had come to the forest as part of her research, but she was impacting the ecosystem by simply being here.

And she'd known that some humans had gone far worse than simply exploring the forest as their hobby to try and investigate endangered birds.

This was why her thesis was on sustainable and environmentally conscious practices. After graduation, she planned on founding a non-profit dedicated to educating others about how to lower their impact to preserve the beauty of nature.

"I'm here to help," she said quietly, though she felt slightly foolish.

You are here to interfere, the voice hissed, branches reaching for her again. I have had enough of him and his kind getting in the way of progress. 

"Him? Him who?" she repeated blankly. She hadn't been aware of anyone else receiving permission to go into the forest alone.

"Do not feign ignorance!" The voice was real now, almost physical, and Kagome choked on a scream as the branches lifted her off the ground.

She flailed as she tried to right herself and get loose.

Her limbs were pulled tight, the branches above her ominously sharp as shadows danced around them.

"Let me go!" she snarled, fighting against the hold, but the branches held firm, and she felt electricity build up around her—it was too hot.

A strange sensation overcame her, her skin rippling like the waters of the lake she passed on her hike here.

Kagome felt like she was being torn in two, the ripples washing over her, trying to put out the flames that threatened to burn her alive.

And then she was falling.

2020 Creator Wrap: Favourite Works

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (ish) favourite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

------------------------------------------

Technically 2021 now, but only by a few days! I was tagged by the wonderful @chierafied, who has been nothing short of awesome and supportive since I got back into the fandom. Thank you mucho, my lovely friend! 😘💕

Since fics and art are all fair game, here goes!

------------------------------------------  

SessKag Fics

Until We Meet Again - Sesshōmaru writes a confession he’s waited five hundred years to make…in a love letter, nonetheless. This was the first fanfic I wrote after my decade-long hiatus from the Inuyasha fandom. So this vignette holds a special place in my heart ✍️ 💖

Promise to You - A story about cherished friendships, a mother’s redemption, a father’s undying love, and a forgotten promise, told in 100-words. This was a supposed to be a fun, side project, meant as a distractor from The Moon is Beautiful. It’s young SessKag as friends, and I didn’t think I’d enjoy writing chibi SessKag as much as I do. I’ve kind of neglected it a bit, but I’m determined to keep it going this year.

If You’re Lonely, Wake Me - Kagome gets snippets of an alternate life via dreams, each time it snows. My first fic submission for the 2020 SessKag Prompt Raffle Event. It’s my first major fic submission for any SessKag event, really. It’s also my first time writing a one-shot of this length (>11k words) in one sitting (as in not drabble). Lordt knows I struggle with words and grammar.  

 ------------------------------------------  

SessKag Art

So I recently got back into art-ing (bought a tablet), and I doodle when I am stressed. This creative outlet has been therapeutic and fun for me. I like them all, but here are my faves so far.

SessKag - Convince Me sketches (pt 1 & 2)

SessKag - Sesshomaru with dimples

SessKag - Golden Hour

I have a Howl’s Moving Castle piece I’m working on, but it’s not posted anywhere yet lol.

I’m tagging @drosselmeyerwrites, @sagemcmae, @meldrymoon, @milomai-art, @mythicamagic, @shastuhh and @cakeit0n but please don’t feel obliged if you don’t want to do this!

The Wedding Ceremony - commissioned for Switched, Chapter 13

He watched her mouth curve around the lip of the container, saw her head tilt back as she drank the liquor, and noticed the way the flowers in her hair moved as if tousled by the wind.  Sesshomaru was aware of each detail. And when she turned the cup over to him, he could taste her.

Opening Night

by SageMcMae

Rey and Kylo go on a double date to Earth with Finn and Poe for the opening night of the new Star Wars movie. Chaos ensues when the Force users start to read the thoughts of the other movie-goers. ---------------------- “I’d like to summon his lightsaber, if you know what I mean,” the third mother winks to the group, drawing Rey and Kylo's attention. The group of older women break into laughs, while their daughters stare at one another quizzically.

Rey feels her cheeks erupt into a scarlet blush. Next to her, the object of their conversation is wearing a rather smug grin.

“At least someone appreciates me.” ---------------------- Just a fun little one-shot to hold us over before TLJ.

This is such a lovely gift! Thank you all so much for this!!! ❤

A Walk to Remember

And the one-sentence-at-a-time collaborations keep coming! This time it's by @mrfeenysmustache, @kaoruhana08, @mynightshining,@sagemcmae, Troll, Ixaix, and myself for the lovely @yumanichan!

Summary: Rin and Kohaku try their hands at matchmaking, but quickly realize their help isn’t needed at all.

Read it on Ao3

Sneak Peak

The tension was subtle, everyone's shoulders slightly stiff as Kagome served them, having started with Sesshoumaru, but Rin smiled nonetheless.

She didn't feel the least bit guilty when she said, "Kagome-sama, have you recovered fully?"

The tea Kagome was pouring faltered in her hands, splashing her fingers in the steaming hot brew.

"Uh," Kagome blinked as she stared at Rin. "Sort of?"

Kohaku had been reaching for Kagome's hands, but Sesshoumaru beat him to it, laying a cool cloth across her red fingers.

She blinked, having almost forgotten the burns in her desire to ensure her friends all had a wonderful evening—especially after Rin had let it drop that Sesshoumaru was feeling alone after Rin had gotten married.

"You should take more care of yourself." Sesshoumaru's words were soft but firm.

She looked to him, captivated by the emotion in his golden gaze. "So should you," she murmured.

"I do not go looking for trouble that causes injury to myself."

"I don't look for it," she huffed defensively. "It just finds me."

He raised a brow. "Perhaps you should have more awareness, miko, and you would not constantly tumble into trouble."

Rin bit the inside of her cheek, worried her plan was about to backfire. Then, Kagome laughed and said, "You might be right."

[sagemcmae]

Summary: Kagome agrees to be a stand-in for her best friend's blind date. She expects to have a nice meal, exchange polite conversation, and call it a night. Then her boss walks in.

Wanting is Never Enough 

Laughter, as brilliant as the sun and just as warm, echoed through the village. It was accompanied by a pair of eyes that were as rare in color as his own.

Sesshomaru had become familiar with this particular shade of blue. He had studied how the hue changed and understood what each variance meant. The details may have seemed trivial to some but to him, they were as critical as landing a fatal strike against an attacker.

Because they belonged to her.It had been exactly five years, two months, and three days since he met the miko. He knew the precise date because it was one of significance. That day was the first time Sesshomaru felt genuine surprise. He had been enamored with her ever since.

Despite months of attempting to convince himself otherwise, Sesshomaru’s feelings remained unchanged. He considered confronting the miko. Verbalizing his feelings felt foolish, especially given her close relationship with his brother, so he opted to stay silent.

After their defeat of Naraku, she disappeared. Inuyasha waited by the well for three weeks before he decided she was truly gone.

Her comrades mourned the loss. They held a memorial for her by decorating the old well with flowers and trinkets from their travels. Others came to pay their respects as well, including the wolf prince and his pack. Each had their own story to tell. Every time Sesshomaru heard them speak of her, his chest ached.

Once he departed from the village, he inspected his body for signs of poison or a curse— some reason for the pain he was experiencing. Nothing appeared.It was not until her return that he understood the depth of his feelings.

Seeing her for the first time in three years gave him greater joy than generating Bakusaiga. The sword was a part of him and yet he felt more connected to the miko. It was as if he had been reborn. His mind cleared. He could breathe without the weight in his chest. His movements were no longer sluggish.

Sesshomaru was forced to accept an undeniable truth. This woman was his other half. No other would ever satisfy him.
