Inu-Mothership Spotlight Encore: Fleet Week 2022: Day 1: New (to You) Ship Day!

Hello everyone! Fleet Week 2023 is just around the corner, so every day this week, the mods at @inu-mothership will be bringing you special sets of fic recs: one per day, featuring the fics that were posted as part of Fleet Week 2022!

Today we begin with Day 1: May 22, 2022. That day was New (to You) Ship Day, or a day where people wrote ships that they had never written before! Stories are listed below the cut, in alphabetical order. We hope you enjoy revisiting these stories, and remember that this year, our theme is Port or Starboard: check our master post for all of this year's prompts!

The Best Boy(Girl)friend (KagSan; T; ongoing) by @fawn-eyed-girl

Sango has been hopelessly in love with her best friend Kagome since the day they met. And while Kagome has talked about nothing but boys, she's never had a boyfriend, and never made a move on a boy (or anyone else, for that matter), and so, Sango has been content to keep their relationship status quo.

That is, until Kagome bemoans the fact that prom is coming, and they don't have boyfriends, so wouldn't it be amazing for them to practice dating...with each other?

This is the story of how Sango can never say no to Kagome, even when it means her heart, and how Kagome found love, in the most unexpected (or perhaps, the most expected) of places.

Connect the Dots (InuKogKag; M; complete) by @mrfeenysmustache/AshMish111 (Ao3)

Sometimes love multiplies in unexpected ways.

While waiting for the chance to be the one to sweep Kagome off her feet while the well keeps her away, Koga and Inuyasha find that they have more than their feelings for Kagome in common.

They find peace, they find connection, they find love, but neither one gives up on having Kagome complete the last empty space in their hearts.

(Note: This story also counts towards Day 2: Friendship Day; Day 4: Submarine Ship Day; and Day 6: Convoy Day)

Dissonance (Shiori/Souten; M; ongoing) by @witchygirl99

In a world on the brink of an all-out magical war, Shiori finds her salvation in a married couple who care for her far too quickly, and in a young female soldier who keeps climbing through windows to see her. Turns out, fate has something to do with it. Maybe even love, too.

Dog-Eared (Inuyasha/Sango; T; complete) by @moon-ion/thetroll (Ao3)

InuYasha's mate has just given birth and it's a time of change for everyone.

Don’t Go Blindly in the Dark (M; complete) by @shade-without-color/streamsofstoriesandcolour (Ao3)

A tale told of Shizu, disguised as Prince Isamu, lost in a foreign land and Miroku- a birdcatcher journeys through many trials and adventures to rescue Tsukuyomaru, from a cruel priest and his followers. However, to reach the paths of love and enlightenment, the trio must make their own choices that would change their destinies forevermore.

Adapted from The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte) by Mozart

Hojo’s Crush (Hojo/Inuyasha; G; complete) by @neutronstarchild

Hōjō has a crush. A giant crush. Someone who is mysterious and so hard to pin down. But who is it that Hōjō has been daydreaming about? On the fateful day of the school play, Hōjō realizes that he will never be able to go back. Princes are as much deserving of rescue as princesses, right?

Learning How to Lose You (Sango/Suikotsu; T; complete) by @classysassy9791

There were a few things Sango had learned over the past three years. She had figured out how to function on a precious thirty minutes of sleep, baby giggles were the sweetest sound on earth, and reading bedtime stories always led to adventures. But there was one lesson in her life that she knew she would never really master - learning how to lose him.

Souta’s Brave Confession of Love II (Souta/Shiori; G; complete) by @serial-doubters-club/hakomorebi (Ao3)

Souta has confessed his feelings to many girls before, but this one is different.

Talking it Through (Kohaku & Kikyō; G; complete) by AiyraOdessa (Ao3)

Kohaku needs to sort out his feelings. He shouldn't feel jealousy just because his sister seemed to like her travel companion, right?

Luckily Kikyou is there to help guide his thoughts.
