I just realized I lost $49 playing some random Bingo game... Dammit! I'm a suck we r for Bingo! I thought I was playing with gems, not cash!!! And then when I went all Karen on the customer support to get my money back, they offered me $35 back. It's better than nothing, I suppose... we'll see in 5 days if it shows back up. I'm still waiting for three months' worth of $21.98 on a Hulu overcharge. It sucks being broke! Good thing my dad's springing for that mid to high range printer! Don't know what I'd do without him. He's my hero. A cross between Deadpool and Captain America. It's a cool story if anyone wants to hear it... he survived the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty!

If I tagged you, I consider you a friend on FC's discord! Some of the coolest people I've ever met! If I missed you, don't be hurt, I'm scatterbrained. Just remind me next time! Love ya!

Happy Holidays @aerin-of-the-isles I'm your Secret Santa! I wrote this cute little one shot for you, and had some amazing work commissioned by @heavenin--hell to go along with it. I hope you love it as much as I do!💕

Finding Home In You

Summary: Querenica: (spanish/adj.) a place where one feels at home, a person where one feels at home with

He sat with his back pressed against the rough wall, a mere few feet from the entry of Kaede’s hut, with even less space from a certain miko on his right. Inuyasha claimed this particular spot along the edge, the perfect place to reside while he watched over her, months ago when they began their journey for shards of the Shikon Jewel. Glancing around the well lit hut, he determined they were safe for the evening, his posture relaxing slightly at the thought, though he would remain on guard while they slept through the night.

do you know any nsfw stories that are set immediately after kagome comes back after the 3 years? It can be a chaptered story or oneshot

Thank you!!!

superpyku asked:

Hello, I love a good post-canon fanfic where it describes what happened when Kagome came back from the well. Doesn't need to be a long fic about their life thereafter but one about what happened during and immediately after their reunion will be good. Would love to know your fav list of such. Thank you

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

We love a good reunion fic! The list below is full of stories that take place right as Kagome returns to the Feudal Era and immediately after, split into NSFW and SFW for whatever mood you're looking for. There are a lot of fics like this out there, but we capped ourselves at 20 to keep the list at a reasonable length. Feel free to add your favorites in the reblogs/replies!

Her Time by @keichanz (M)

To Fight For Tomorrow by @sarah-writes-stories (E)

The shard hunt...the battle with Naraku...it was only the beginning.

Their past held a terrible prophecy. Her future, the terrifying result. Kagome had finally been allowed to return through the well...but it wasn't luck that granted her wish.

The red threads of fate had always tied them all together, had always guided them towards each other. Now, as new powers are revealed and souls are healed, their destiny becomes clear.

Theirs is a quest that requires everything they have to give.

Theirs is a battle they cannot afford to lose.

Theirs is a fight to protect tomorrow.

--

Come Back To Me by jyvonne13 (M)

After defeating Naraku, Inuyasha and Kagome were separated for three long years after the well closed. What happens on that fateful day when Inuyasha catches her scent after so long? What do the two of them promise each other and how do their lives change from this point on?

Post Manga Canon. Kagome is worried about InuYasha's happiness while he has the same concerns about her and tries to do something about it.

--

Kagome's Got To Go by @ajoy3fanfics (NR)

The way Yuki and Suki saw it, this Kagome woman needed to go.

From the first day she came, they knew she was trouble. They had been playing a perfectly fun game of 'who can annoy uncle the most' (It was always Suki), when he suddenly stood up, passing them off to Shippo with a distant look in his eyes. Uncle was fast, there was no question about that, but unless there was a reason for him to be on high alert, he was downright lethargic. Still, Uncle Inuyasha needing space wasn't anything new, so it wasn't terribly worrisome that he took off at high speed; It did, however, raise a few red flags when Shippo shook them off and headed in the dog demons direction, screaming "it's her! She's back!"

[writingamongther0ses]

An important part of at least 14-year-old Amarya Mohila's life and relationship with being a hero...

Her brother (technically several times distant cousin), Aimory Aoki. Here's him at 21, literally beefing for months with a teenager smaller than him.

The literal only differences between him at 17 and him at 21 is that he got snakebites and Amarya gave him that scar on his cheek when they first met.

You would think the relationship between 17-year-old Aimory and ten-year-old Amarya would be better, but he tries to kidnap her for their dad and tells her to stop calling him childish names, only for her to look him in the eye and call him a shithead. He's not sure whether to laugh or be mad.

Inu-Mothership Spotlight Saturday: Holiday Edition! Week 2: Food and Drink

Hello everyone! We here at the @inu-mothership are back with our next set of holiday fic recs! This week, our theme is Food and Drink/Cooking and Eating Together, and we have ten stories for you that are focused on the tradition of cooking/baking/eating together. Some of the stories aren't quite holiday-focused, but we hope you will forgive us, as we wanted to find fics that highlighted the joy of sharing a meal.

Stories are listed in alphabetical order, with ship, rating, and status (ongoing or completed) in the parenthetical. We hope you enjoy, and maybe some of these stories will inspire your next meal or your next baking enterprise!

An Annoying Christmas Elf (InuKag; T; complete) by @jeremymarsh

Christmas is still a couple of weeks away and Inuyasha is already sick of hearing the tenant upstairs sing Michael Bublè's entire discography, especially if it's Sunday morning and he's just trying to recover from a hellish week at work. He's ready to give her a piece of his mind, but the meeting doesn't go as hoped.

Apple Pie and Mistletoe (InuKag; M; complete) by @ruddcatha

Called out of town unexpectedly for work just before Christmas, Inuyasha Takahashi asks his best friend Kagome, whom he's secretly loved for years, to house sit. When a storm grounds his plane, will the two friends admit their feelings, or continue to stay silent? What role does Apple Pie and Mistletoe play in what is about to unfold?

The Christmas Cake Tradition (SessKag; T; complete) by @chierafied

In which Sesshoumaru and Kagome attempt to bake a Christmas cake.

Do Hanyos Like Chocolate Chip Cookies? (InuKag; T; complete) by @ruddcatha

Kagome and Inuyasha finally has the opportunity to spend the Christmas Holidays with Kagome's family after several years hunting shards. Kagome teaches Inuyasha the difference between Christmas Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies, and some well placed Mistletoe could finally bring feelings to light.

The Fifth Flavor (InuKag; T; complete) by@cannibalsforbreakfast/Laeoukka (Ao3)

Inuyasha is a world-class photographer, living an isolated existence in a crappy second-floor apartment in Tokyo. His pictures go for thousands of dollars, and he'll photograph anything except people.

Kagome is opening a farm-to-table cafe on the first floor.

When Inuyasha's acute senses lead the two to fight on day one, it seems like these unwilling neighbors are destined to hate each other. But food has a way of fixing everything...

It’s Beginning to Look Like, F*** That (SessKagura; M; complete) by @shade-without-color/streamsofstoriesandcolour (Ao3)

What seems like a way to impress Kagura's colleagues, turned into an awkward baking lesson when she was with Sesshomaru. And it did not help that a certain group of people...is well you know…

Merry Christmas, Inuyasha (InuKag; G; complete) by @splendentgoddess

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shrine, the Higurashis were preparing a meal fine. Kagome went to retrieve the chicken with care, not knowing a certain hanyou had followed her there

The Secret Baking Habits of Sesshōmaru (SessKag; G; complete) by kaoruhana (Ao3)

Stress baking is causing a Christmas Cookie problem for Sesshomaru. Good thing his neighbor Kagome has a sweet tooth.

Treat (SessKag; T; complete) by @sereia1313

Kagome surprises Sesshoumaru after a hard day at work.

たべたい (InuKag; T; complete) by @shade-without-color/streamsofstoriesandcolour (Ao3)

Inuyasha's relationship with food is complicated in his mind, however, it always seems to centre around Kagome and his now-found family.

[mamabearcat]

“You want me to win you one of those?” Inuyasha asked Kagome in a soft, caring tone, attempting to separate himself from the annoying conversation he was having with her friend. The game didn’t look too hard. All he had to do was knock down an entire stack of bottles with a single ball, and hell, that human had already done it…though after several tries.

“Just don’t break them.” Kagome whispered with a wink, as Inuyasha handed the man a ticket, and got a softball in exchange.

“Keh” he mumbled, before throwing the ball, knocking down the correct bottle that would, in turn, cause all the others to go toppling. Instead of the teddy bear, Kagome decide upon a large plush dog, since it was a Husky, and had Inuyasha’s ears.

As soon as she had it in her arms, she tweaked the plush’s ear in such a way, that it made Inuyasha blush. Fortunately, nobody else seemed to notice.

Mating Season, Ch18 Carnival by @splendentgoddess

A special edition in my cheesy couple t-shirts series. @dchelyst asked me if I'd ever drawn Kagome and Inuyasha in the 'Big Dog' and 'I like Big Dogs' tshirts from Mating Season, and the sad answer was that I had not. But hopefully that's been rectified now!

Tis the season! For some Inuyasha Christmas themed fic recs ❄ I’ve listed 7 sweet treats to get you into the holiday spirit; there’s one for each day of the week, including links, pairing, rating, authors handle (if applicable) and small commentary, sans spoilers…

1. 'Tis the Damn Season | T | InuKag | by @akitokihojo ❄

Why yes, best friends to strangers to lovers is a weakness of mine. A tale about friendship, mutual pining even if you don't think it's so mutual and finally going after what you should've all along. Being home for the holidays doesn't have to be so bad. [Oneshot, Complete]

2. A Christmas Favor | T | InuKag | By @anxietyaardvark ❄

Fake Dating! Office Chrismtas parties! Childhood besties! Avoiding that one pesky guy! This fic has so many sweet tropey treats packed into it, there's too much to love. [Oneshot, Complete]

3. Skeins and Schemes | T | InuKag | By @cannibalsforbreakfast ❄

What do you get a gruff half demon who has no real concept of Chritsmas for Christmas? Kagome figures it out, in possibly the sweetest way. [Oneshot, Complete]

4. Frost Thaw: Lessons in Drowning | T | KagKik | By @gaykagome ❄

Canon-esque Kagkik has a special place in my heart. Sweet angst turns into sweet fluff as these two figure themselves - and each other - out. Includes gorgeous artwork from the lovely @kirrtash [Oneshot, Complete]

5. “It was the bow again. Your people really don’t seem to like it.” | T | KagKik | By Ike ❄

Wibbly. Wobbly. Timey. Wimey. Plus fake dating, misteltoe and sharing a bed. Need I say more? It's fun, it's funny, it's fluffy, it's great. [Oneshot, Complete]

6. Secret Santa | E | InuKag | By @splendentgoddess ❄

Workplace traditions are a great way to crush your OTP together. Such interesting modern demon world-building and stellar enemies-to-lovers dynamics throughout. Bonus! Sequels live in this collection [Multi-chapter, Complete]

7. Unwrap Me E | InuKag | By @lavaffair ❄

We're wrapping this list up (pun absolutely intended) with Christmas Smut™! Give your other half the gift of you this Christmas. It's what Kagome would do. Sugar, spice and everything nice packed into one ribbon-shaped fic. [Oneshot, Complete]

Feel free to add your own recommendations! This is by no means a comprehensive list, and represents only a small fraction of the skill and talent this fandom has shown. The more the merrier!

[heynikkiyousofine]

hello February! 💕 super excited to bring you the first chapter of a modern au, hockey players/librarian InuKag au with some amazing art by @clearwillow. I mean seriously, this banner is absolutely amazing, so shout out to them. This fic will be updated monthly.

She has her close friend, she has her favorite books she devours every chance she gets, a family who loves and supports her, and she is in her final year of college, with a dream to become a writer. Kagome has everything she needs in life, but in reality, she wishes for adventures and excitement, much like the characters in her books. In steps the captain of her college’s hockey team, a rude, unruly, and cocky hanyou named Inuyasha Taisho, and suddenly, her whole world is turned upside down.

Sorry if this has already been asked during your AMA, but I was wondering, when you're figuring out you're, do you have a favorite trope, or genre etc, that you prefer to write? What inspires you?

Hi @sailorbabydoll92!

No need for apologies! I don't know that I often approach the beginning of developing a story with a specific trope in mind. Sometimes one will fit (One bed! Snowed in!) but most of the time there is a specific scene that comes to mind and then I have to... build a story around it. It's often a slow process. Thus why I don't post on a regular basis.

I've been drawn to write more sci-fi and space stuff lately. As @splendentgoddess and I were discussing the other day, for as many fanfics as there are out there for Inuyasha, the percentage of them that are scifi/space settings is fairly small. I have a couple that are already out there (No Defense, Caged Bird, and The Rift Between) and several more in The Vault. So it's just a matter of buckling down and focusing on them!

[writingamongther0ses]

Lennox and Mary Arden talk about the woods.

-_-

“The Woods...” Lennox threw his stone. Unlike the past few stones, this one didn’t skip. Instead, the three of them watched it sink without so much as a bubble. “You don’t forget the fucking Woods.”

“What was it like?” MA asked, unable to help it. Riley gave her a look and she shrugged. Maybe there was something in there that would stop the Flower Queen.

Lennox plucked up a stone. “It was...it was nice. Even when it was rainy and cold and we had no idea where we would sleep for the night. It was always so pretty, like those autumn scenes you see in movies. You would find mansions out in the boonies or talking animals and it was really weird but I didn’t think anything was wrong.” He tossed the stone and it skipped three times. “Time there passes longer than it does here.” He paused in thought. “At least I think it does.”

“You think?”

He shrugged as he grabbed another stone. “I thought one week had gone by, but when I woke up I was being fished out the night I went in and they didn’t find Mabel until days later.”

Inu-Mothership Spotlight Saturday: Holiday Edition! Week 5: Home for the Holidays

Hello everyone! We here at the @inu-mothership are back with another week of holiday-themed fics! This week the focus is on "Home for the Holidays," and we have for you ten fics that we hope will give you that warm and cozy, very homey feel.

Stories are, as always, listed below the cut, in alphabetical order, with ship, rating, and status (complete or ongoing) in the parenthetical.

We have just one more list after this one! We've so enjoyed putting these lists together for you, and a special thanks goes out to the mothership membership, who were so helpful with their suggestions!

All I Want for Christmas (KagKik; T; complete) by Yukio (Ao3)

Kagome wants to invite Inuyasha to spend Christmas with her in the modern era, but things turn different and Kagome invites someone else.

Coffee, Kisses, and a Side of Christmas Cake (InuKag; Rated T; complete) by @clearwillow/BrigidtheFae (Ao3)

When her plans for Christmas go awry, Kagome finds herself quickly making a friend with the half demon she'd made small talk with at the airport. So why does everyone assume that they're a couple?

I’ll Be Home for Christmas (InuKag; E; complete) by @splendentgoddess

Three long years have passed since the night they shared in her room, protected by the warmth and magic of Christmas Eve. Kagome still dreams of being surrounded by silver and gold, wrapped securely in a blanket of fire-rat red. Off-canon post-manga.

Lost and Found (SessKag; T; complete) by EchoHuntress (Ao3)

After completing the jewel and her mission in the past, Kagome is forcibly removed from the past and thrust back into a present she is lost in. After a beneficial move to the United States to help Kagome heal and finish her education, Kagome steps foot in Japan during Christmas for the first time in over six years. Her mother has surprised her with a trip to a remote ryokan for the holiday, an invitation given by the family of Souta's best friend, Ikuchi. The ryokan merges memories of her shard-hunting days in the past with her present in more ways than one. Will she be able to handle the clash of past and present?

Meet the Parents (SessKag; E; complete) by @effinsusie

Sesshoumaru goes home with Kagome for Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Inuyasha (InuKag; G; complete) by @splendentgoddess

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shrine, the Higurashis were preparing a meal fine. Kagome went to retrieve the chicken with care, not knowing a certain hanyou had followed her there... Okay that's enough rhyming. Inu/Kag Fluff! Enjoy!

My Gift is You (InuKag; T; complete) by @sapphirestarxx

Christmas is coming up and Kagome is determined to make it home in time. Inuyasha doesn't want her to go. She has a surprise for him but doesn't want to ruin it...will their misunderstandings ruin the holiday or will they make up in time to spend it together?

Silver and Gold (InuKag; E; complete) by @splendentgoddess

Christmas Eve is a time to celebrate family, love, and togetherness. Not something Kagome gets a lot of while trying to stop Naraku. But everyone deserves the occasional night off, right? Takes place during manga chapter 512.

The Way to Her Heart (KogKag; Rated E; complete) by @fawn-eyed-girl

Kagome has invited her boyfriend Kōga to spend the holidays with her family at the shrine.
