< PART 3 / on-going list >

[vindicated-truth]

The most powerful message the partnership of Lee Dongsik and Han Joowon has ever proved, is this:

You don’t have to let yourself become a monster just to catch the monsters.

You don’t have to become evil yourself in order to defeat evil.

Beyond Evil is far from a fairy tale, but it supersedes every message every fairy tale has ever tried to portray, but in a way that is much more rooted in reality, and much, much more human:

Goodness still perseveres over evil.

And love still conquers all.

Welcome to my 55th* Win A Commission Contest! Guess the Norwegian fairy tale this story is based upon, win a drawing, ficlet or recording! Hint: In the original story, the MC has a sister who gets decapitated by trolls/witches, sometimes has her head replaced by a cow’s in the time being, and then the MC has to rescue her head from her attackers. Here, the MC’s cousin is going to get kidnapped by a whale he ticked off.

Always Hoodie Weather

Day 7 of @flufftober kinda got away from me. Turned into a multi chapter thing. I still got a couple chapters to edit so will reblog with them as I go.

Fandom: InuYasha - A Feudal Fairy Tale Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Higurashi Kagome/Sesshoumaru, InuYasha/Kikyou (InuYasha), Higurashi Kagome & InuYasha, Higurashi Kagome & Kouga, Higurashi Kagome & Kikyou Characters: Higurashi Kagome, Kikyou (InuYasha), Sesshoumaru (InuYasha), InuYasha (InuYasha), Kouga (InuYasha) Additional Tags: Flufftober2024, Modern AU, Kikyou and Kagome are twins Summary: Sesshomaru was only supposed to be visiting his family since his brother was graduating form college. Someone has stollen his hoodie though. And she keeps wearing it.

It's on AO3 and bellow the cut

Sesshomaru blinked his golden eyes slowly as he walked into the kitchen. He was home visiting his father and his father's mate, Izayoi. He did not come home often but sometimes he could not avoid it. And the human woman his father had taken as his mate was always eager to try to include him in everything. She always claimed they were a family. Sesshomaru knew there was blood and marital ties but he was already nearly grown by the time Toga had claimed her as his mate. He had moved out on his own shortly after she had birthed his half-breed half brother. He had as little interaction with them as possible. Granted he had less interaction with his own mother. At the end of the day, despite taking over his father's business successfully, Sesshomaru still sought the man's approval and so when his father used that tone he had no choice but to obey. He joined on the family outings though he was less than approachable. 

But family gatherings did not explain the human woman in their kitchen, wearing the hoodie he had left on the back of a chair. The sleeves were rolled up so her hands were free and it easily engulfed her. She looked up and blinked at him, seeming just as surprised as he was to see him there, then recognition crossed her face.

"Oh! You must be InuYasha's brother!" She was smiling as she came around the counter from where she seemed to have been preparing some popcorn, she held her hand out to him. "I'm Kagome! I'm one of his friends. Kikyo's twin?"

Sesshomarue looked at the offered hand then lifted his gaze back to hers. He was well aware of who Kikyo was. Despite his best efforts it seemed he needed to know about his younger brother's social life. So he was well aware that he was courting a priestess. One training to take over guardianship of the Shikon No Tama at the Higurashi shrine. Sesshomarue continued staring into the blue eyes of the woman who's bright smile faltered under his glare. Friend of InuYasha or not, she should not be in his hoodie.

"Yo! Kagome! What's takin' so damn long?" InuYasha entered the living room. "Oh. Hey, Asshole. Mom said you were going to try and make it in. Wasn't sure you would."

"InuYasha," Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes at her friend. "Be nice."

"Father suggested time off would be good." Sesshomaru drawled, not mentioning that the old demon lord had all but commanded him to take the time off. Had hinted at taking the company back if he didn't do as asked. "Izayoi was concerned that after you graduate college at the end of the upcoming semester we will not be able to get together as-"

"A family." The brother's spoke at the same time, InuYasha rolling his golden eyes. "Yeah she's been a little nuts."

"Your mom loves you." Kagome reached out and smacked the hanyo who grumbled at her after the spike of spiritual power aided her strike.

"Your mom...what are you wearing?" InuYasha turned his gaze on his friend, ready to point out that Mrs. Higurashi had not tried to smother Kikyo or Kagome the way his mother was when he noticed she was wearing a hoodie. One that smelled far too much like his brother.

"I told you I was cold and was going to steal your hoodie." Kagome rolled her eyes at him and returned to the kitchen to finish making the popcorn.

"That's not mine." InuYasha stated firmly.

"What's not yours?" Kikyo asked, sliding beneath InuYasha's arm as he pulled her close. Kagome pointedly looked anywhere but at the two. Sesshomaru noticed that while his brother didn't notice, his future mate did. Her scent spiking slightly with amusement, subtle enough he knew the hanyo's nose would not pick it up. 

"The hoodie Kagome's wearing." InuYasha said making the girl's eyes widen, her head jerking up to look at him in confusion. "It's Sesshomaru's."

"Wha- OH GOD!" Kagome scrambled to get the hoodie unzipped. "I'm so sorry! I thought it was InuYasha's or maybe Kouga's-"

"As if the wolf would wear a hoodie. Freaking furnace."

"Everything InuYasha has said about you made it seem like something you'd never wear. I'm so sorry I'll-"

"Keep it." Sesshomaru inturrupted the fumbling girl. While he was enjoying the flush on her cheeks, the shame in her scent burnt his nose. "I don't need it."

"But-"

"It will smell of human now. I will buy another."

Sesshomaru walked away before she could say anything else. He did not look back to see if she kept his hoodie on or not, far more distracted by the way his inner yoaki stirred at the flush on her cheeks and wondering how far down it went.

Hello, your seasonal shojo anime about sugar crafting with darker themes of slavery and misogyny has left way for a seasonal horror and gore drama :>

[fictionadventurer]

imaginary book: “The Ruined Idylls of Calomar”, low fantasy (quite obscure, authorship disputed; philologists suspect the first draft was written in a Celtic or Semitic language in the late 19th or early 20th century.)

The Ruined Idylls of Calomar by A.E. Mann

This haunting work of fantasy claims to be the journals of an unnamed scholar living in exile after the fall of the hidden lands of Calomar. Once a thriving, peaceful, highly civilized culture, its glory was brought low by the pride, greed, and wrath of kings, scholars, explorers and warriors who fought for glory, power, and honor, until its final destruction by a dark, nameless weapon left only a scant handful of survivors to escape and tell the tale. In haunting language, the narrator writes of Calomar's glory and intrigue, its final fall, and his irresistible yet doomed attempts to return to his lost homeland and learn what, if anything, has survived.

Lone Ranger modern day AU: John is a young and idealistic lawyer who genuinely believes that the Police is a force for good, and Tonto is a rogue doctor/pharmacist driving around in an old van and offering free medical assistance to disadvantaged and impoverished communities. There are no pubs, only coffee shops.

I don't even LIKE modern day AUs, but not gonna lie, this one has potential.

Something that I think is really cool about the original Little Mermaid is that the sisters all give different descriptions of what the surface is like, but they never fight over which one's version of the surface is right.

I sat on the ballroom floor, softly crying and ignoring the footsteps; I still couldn't see his eyes though as he approached me slowly. The dirty-blonde haired greaser reached his hand out and rubbed my head gently before chuckling a bit. My eyes watered as I saw his eyes, but he spoke of something else: "It's the facial hair, right? I know it looks wei-" I cut him off with a hug along with my response: "OH NUTCRACKER!! YOU'RE OKAY!" He smiled, returning the embrace. He then said, "Marie Maier Stahlbaum, will you be my lovely princess?"

Writing ask 13: Rate your worldbuilding skills

Oh jeez. I’d say 4/10. I’ve never written anything over 18k and the 17k I once wrote required a lot of editing and was really a one off. I still have a long way to go. The worlds I create are very small and focused, but they suit my abilities at the moment. I think I can improve but I need to swallow my pride and find the focus.

I am writing a story partly set in a Fae land though and is filled with Australian and Pacific animal hybrids and is constantly under attack from other countries. And is run by a king who is so desperate for an heir he’d do anything.

Anyways thanks for asking!!!

Can we talk about the Ever After album by Marianas Trench? I just-- it's beautiful. I used to listen to "Ever After" (the song) on repeat for hours when I was in high school, and while I liked a lot of their other songs, I never realized the absolute EXPERIENCE listening to the entire album in order would be. The song I've memorized all these years essentially continues for about an hour. I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS
