Maggie, my beloved, please share with us your inukag fic recs….

oH ANON MY BELOVED prepare yourself because i have sO MANY RECS and i'm still discovering new fics to read every day it's become overwhelming aaaAAA

anyway, gonna start off with one author in particular: @artistefish!! i've read through maybe 90% of her inuyasha fics, all ranging from one shots to full fledged multichapter stories, and i tell you i will NOT stop singing my praises about how imaginative and creative and charming her stories and AU's are! she's also a GREAT artist and very often the fics in this list have great art to go along with them, so be sure to check out her blog for art as well!! 🥰🥰🥰 here are some of my favorites:

Freak Attraction (AO3) and its sequel, Freak Attraction: Seven Man Circus (AO3) : an AU set in the Meiji era where Inuyasha has been paraded as a freak in a demon circus and Kagome is a schoolgirl who takes it upon herself to set him free. i think this was the first fic/AU 've read from this author and i'm in LOVE with every aspect of it, from the setting to the plot itself to the sweet, sweet developing romance scenes ;;v;; (i'd also recommend checking AF's tags for FA and SMC in her blog for some great art!! i also have a tag specifically for in in my blog lmao)

Miroku Private Eye (AO3) and its prequel Dizzy Defense for an Underdog (AO3) : a magNIFICENT 30's AU that i'm still working on reading through; but i tell you i've already read Dizzy Defense and i'm in absolute love w/ Inuyasha and Kagome in this universe ;;v;; (some side stories!! | AF's tags in her blog: #dizzy defense, #30s au, #mpe | her sideblog @bloodhoundandkitten that i HIGHLY recommend you check out, i'm so in love with it ;;v;; | my tag for this au #iy 30's au

Abnormalities (AO3) : DID SOMEONE ORDER ANGST?? WE GOT SOME ANGST OVER HERE!!! :''')))) okay okay, this is an AU in which instead of staying in the feudal era, Inuyasha and Kagome got stranded in the present era post-series, but it didn't bode well for them once some scientists got wind of their strange powers and abducted them. this one broke me, i tell you 😭 (AF's tag #abnormalities | my tag #fic: abnormalities)

The Last Dog Demon : a The Last Unicorn AU featuring dog demon!Inuyasha and samurai!Kagome (and Miroku and Sango as Schmendrik and Molly Grue respectively which is honestly perfect). i gotta say, i saw that movie for the first time specifically so i could get some insight into what this AU was all about, bc when i saw the art and concepts for it i fell in love with it!! it's still p early in the story, but if you check AF's tag for it you can get some GREAT stuff ;v;

Ghost Hunt AU : oooOOOHHH BOY lemme tell you, ghost au’s are the WORST bc many of them involve the characters not being in the same physical plane, and therefore there being many variations of not being able to see, hear, or touch each other no matter how much they want to, and that kind of pining KILLS ME!!!! yet i still flock toward that shit and have no one to blame but mysELF ASDASFAgAS...... ahem anyway. it’s a ghost au. Inuboy is a 500+(?) year old ghost who’s bound to a decrepit old mansion. Kagome’s a sceptic yet well meaning sister who accompanies her little bro in his ghost hunts. tragic hijinks ensue. please check these tags. i also keep track of it. cry. enjoy. :’)))

honorable mention to the Mummy AU : it has no fic but it has some fantastic art; and honestly, Inu and Kagome as O’Connell and Evelyn fits them sO WELL it’s almost uncanny ashfashg (plu Moroha as Alex?? Miroku as Johnathan?! SANGO AS ARDETH???!! sign me the fuck up)

also wanna mention some of her fics i haven’t gotten to yet but i’m very much planning to: An Epic, Tragic Love Story; The Delinquent Boyfriend; A Memory of Red Flame; and Do Your Own Stunts. i’ll get to them eventually ahsgdasghd

still with artistefish, a collection of one-shots and miscellaneous fics that i really enjoyed:

First Born Sons (ngl this one utterly DESTROYED ME and put me back together by the end 🥺😭😭😭)

He Just Wouldn't Stop

Delayed Reactions

More than a little Distracting 

Pros and Cons of Puppy Ears

By Their Fruits

A Mother's Request

Only One Way To Know (honestly i just love the concept of the well being open post-series even if that’s not quite what happened in canon okay Kagome’s family deserves to be part of her life 🥺)

Smell

White Dogs on Blue Cotton

All of your Flaws and All of my Flaws (i’ll be absolutely honest: this one made me cry. a lot. just.... the concept of other people accepting you, flaws and all really hit home with me 🥺)

Her Favorite Present (another trope i wish i could see more of?? Kagome’s friends getting along with Inuyasha and helping him do sweet things for Kagome!! also them being Kagome’s pillars of support during the 3 year gap bc honestly, Kagome HAD to have told them the truth after the whole the-well-disappeared-and-kagome’s-bf’s-disembodied-voice-was-yelling-from-the-ground situation)

The Pilfered Bride 

There She Goes (an absolute GEM of a high school AU!!)

AND NOW that that’s out of the way; other recs from other authors! (these are in no particular order btw)

these are honestly just the ones i HAVE checked out or am in the process of checking out (LMaL is so long but sO GOOD i wanna take my sweet sweet time with it lol), but WELP here you go i guess!! i just noticed a few of these aren’t outright inukag like you asked (i just can’t resist fics about Inu’s relationship with Izayoi and with Kagome’s mother asdgasfd) but oH WELL

please be sure to check out all the authors’s other works as well!! i actually just noticed many of my recs are from the same authors and honestly that’s as good an incentive as any to keep up with their work~ so.... much.... to read...!!!

EDIT: i forgot to mention this before but @inukag-archive has a TON of recs and you can ask them for some as well, so it’s a blog worth checking out~
