Inuyasha Pride Month 2023

We're back! And this year, we're changing things up. We have 4 weeks, 4 themes, and a host of ways you can view the Inuyasha universe through a queer lens. Alt-text for dates and more information can be found below the cut, and we hope you'll join us in celebrating LGBTQ+ creators within the Inuyasha fandom this Pride Month!

When the time comes, tag us @inuyashapridemonth here on Tumblr, or @IYPrideMonth on Twitter and use the hashtags #IYPM2023 & #inuyashapridemonth2023, so we can share your creations!

Love is Love, The Mods ♡

Week 4 – Violet/Spirit/Free Week

Why Violet Week?

This year, we decided to rehash the old IYPM prompts and split each theme into weeks. Our color prompts, based on the original Pride Flag, had 8 colors to 7 days, leaving Violet to spill over into our final week. Violet, the last color on the pride flag, represents Spirit – the core, heart and soul of the LGBTQ+ community. It has many names: Violet, Spirit, Free Week. Whichever you choose to call it, the notion is the same, regardless of its label. From the 22nd-30th of June, Violet Week is all about the freedom of choice being yours.

Writers! Find our AO3 Collection here.

For more information, head to our Rules & FAQs page.

If you have any questions, send us an ask!

The countdown begins! From today, there are 2 months until Pride Month, and we'll be here with plenty of reminders to inspire you along the way. See you soon!

——————————————————

They hadn’t spent a new moon alone in decades, not since the dark, moonless night that took their husbands and made them both widows, left behind to care for young children in a harsh world.

Even all these years later, grief cushioned by time and new love, the dawning of such dark night pushed them into hiding even from sleep.

Sango stared up at the ceiling of the hut, watching the candle light flicker weakly against the heavy shadow, Kagome’s fingers brushing through her grey locks slow and rhythmically as breathing.

“Do you image they’re waiting for us?” Kagome asked, and Sango tilted her head back enough to see her weathered face.

The wear and wrinkle of so many years had done nothing to dull her loveliness or her shine, and she could still see the strength of the soul that had loved them all through so much tragedy glowing brightly when she smiled.

“Miroku won’t be.” Sango answered confidently, and she felt Kagome’s hand pause momentarily in shock before continuing its soft ministration.

“Oh?”

“No. He would trust me to figure it out and be on his merry way to reincarnate as quickly as possible. Too many beautiful backsides to caress, you see?”

No matter how old they grew Kagome’s laugh stayed the same, a musical chime that filled up everyone who heard it with a warm light.

“You’re probably right.”

“Do you think Inuyasha is waiting?”

“I hope not.”

“Really?” Sango asked, taken aback.

“Really. I hope he’s moved on to a much easier life. I would expect you to wait for me though.” She said sternly, finally pulling her hand free of the hair she’d been caressing and linking her fingers with Sango’s.

With a quiet chuckle, Sango brought their joined hands up and pressed a kiss to Kagome’s knuckles.

“I’m afraid we’ll have to go together or not at all.

“Hmmmm…” Kagome hummed, eyes narrowing, a smile tilting up the corners of her mouth, crinkling the skin, making her look so young despite the decades she’d existed through. “Alright. You’ve got yourself a deal.”

Closing her eyes and sighing in contentment, Sango felt the heavy weight of sleep settle over her.

“Is it Dawn yet?” She asked, and Kagome answered by easing slowly out from under her head and slipping into the bed, curling up against her side.

“Yes, thank the heavens. Every month seems to get harder and harder. We’re getting old for this New Moon vigil.”

“Who are you calling old?” Sango quipped, and Kagome snorted, pressing her forehead against the space between Sango’s shoulders.

It was the very position they’d slept in nearly every night since their love for each other evolved from friend to lover as they’d carried each other through the mire of grief.

Sango knew she’d never sleep again if she couldn’t feel that pressure there.

“Us, that’s who. Now get some sleep. I want to walk to the lake tomorrow.”

“Alright alright. Goodnight Kagome.”

“No my dearest, good morning.”

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.

@kagsanweek​ Day 3: Comfort

Sango is one of the strongest characters I’ve ever seen, and Kagome is one of the most kind hearted. They hadn’t known each other very long at this point, so it means a lot that Sango trusted Kagome so easily. She didn’t hesitate to let herself be held and comforted by Kagome as she breaks down for the first time after everything she’s been through.

@kagsanweek Day 2: Unbreakable

Kagome and Sango’s constant empathy and understanding for each other never wavers. It’s so amazing. Their unconditional love and trust for each other is, and always will be, UNBREAKABLE.
