#witchygirl99

[okayfinethisismyinuyashablog]

File under: oddly heavy fic rec...

I read the story "So Now We'll Let the Rain Fall" by @witchygirl99 today and it fucked me up in the best possible way. High school au, hurt/comfort, Inuyasha is a foster kid and he's in a terrible situation, but he's sticking it out so that he can stay with the only person who matters. This story captures that feeling of sucking it up in an unbearable situation because everything is so fucked up, but you're not going to let it destroy the small happiness you've found that makes counting the days until you're finally free worth it.

I'm so emotionally compromised.

I don't know how many people in this fandom are drawn to it because one of the main characters had an exceptionally shitty childhood and they can identify, but I know that aspect of Inuyasha's character has always resonated with me pretty hard, especially the part where he remains a good person regardless of the shit he had to deal with, all the while convinced that he's a monster. I spent years in the headspace where I was like, "Okay I get it. I'm a selfish asshole. It's better for me and everyone around me if I'm just alone." And luckily I had someone who was just stupid wholesome and they stuck by me even when I was being a self loathing dick and helped pull me out from there. And it's a good thing because I don't know if I would have seen much point in survival otherwise. It wasn't always easy, but we made it out and right now life is stable and calm and good and nice and the complete opposite of how it was when I was growing up.

Anyway, whether you identify most with the idea of enduring physical and/or psychological torture because you recognize your own lack of agency BUT you're also not going to let that lack of agency cause you to do shit in the short term that would fuck up your life long term OR you're a precious cinnamon roll to a stormy rain cloud who only ever seems to brighten up around you, this is a really, really good story.

You can also just be a fan of hurt/comfort as well. 😆

Silver and Gold by @splendentgoddess (E)

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.

--

Apple Pie and Mistletoe by @ruddcatha (M)

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?

--

'Tis The Damn Season by @akitokihojo (T)

Best friends, to nothing, to one of them putting every ounce of their effort into avoiding the other. Christmas was supposed to be about visiting her family, but Kagome noticed the snow on the ground wasn't the reason an icy feeling crept down her back. Her childhood best friend, and neighbor, was home for the holidays as well. Turns out, being an adult doesn't help you escape from messy assumptions and the repercussions of being too scared to go after what you really want. For either of them.

--

A Piece of Home by omgitscharlie (E)

At winter's first snowfall, Kagome finds herself reminiscing about Christmas back in her time.

--

Mistletoe: Inuyasha by masterhiccup (K+)

Christmas in a remote cabin? Check. Best friends trying to play matchmaker? Check. Stunning girl that makes your heart go pitter patter despite constant, inward disapproval? Double check. Oh man, Inuyasha was in for one hell of a ride from the very beginning. How was he going to make it through the holidays if he could hardly handle the Hallmark movie he was currently living?

--

Everything But The Pear Tree by @fandomobsessions016 (E)

After going through a rough break-up, Kagome decides she's going to pull herself out of her slump by diving head first into holiday preparations. With her friend Sango and the help of her new neighbor, Inuyasha, Kagome is reminded why the holidays are so special to her.

--

The Best Present by @fawn-eyed-girl (T)

Inuyasha helps Kagome bring a Christmas tree home to the Higurashi shrine. Kagome tells Inuyasha about the traditions of Christmas Eve, and he gives her a special gift.

--

Slipped by @witchygirl99 (E)

“I was worried it’d be more of a sex thing.” A sex thing. Inuyasha makes a face at the ceiling. God, why does Miroku say shit like that? “Yeah, well,” he grouses, grabbing at his cell phone so that he can look his friend in the eye. “Give me some fucking credit. I’m trying not to fall in love with her.”

Miroku looks, in that moment, far too smug. “And how’s that going for you?”

“Fuck you,” comes his automatic response, a knee-jerk reaction. Begrudgingly, unhappily, Inuyasha sighs his next admission. “Not great.” Inuyasha has a life plan that is viciously, cheerfully and quickly dismantled the moment he becomes temporary roommates with one Kagome Higurashi. Unsurprisingly, this is all Miroku's fault.

--

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by FrameOfMind (T)

AU. God, how he hated Christmas carols. Now, if someone would only think to write one about the overcrowded shopping malls and the sticky pine needles and the damn Salvation Army, that would be the Christmas carol for him...

--

Secret Santa (series) by @splendentgoddess (E)

In a modern world where most youkai stick to the wilds, hanyou are stuck in the middle, forced to live in human society. Inuyasha has an okay job and okay coworkers, but he's lonely, until one year when the office Christmas party changes everything.

--

If You Dare by @fawn-eyed-girl (E)

Inuyasha hates Christmas, and looks forward to spending it alone. Kagome loves Christmas, and is devastated that she has to spend it alone. She decides to leave a notebook in the stacks at a bookstore, in hopes of making a special connection. When Inuyasha finds it, does he dare take her challenge? And will she dare to accept his Commissioned Artwork by Clearwillow

--

Skeins and Schemes by @cannibalsforbreakfast (G)

Inuyasha didn’t understand why she was insisting she needed to go back to her time, because this time last year Kagome had said her school was on “ho-li-day” and that there were no classes. She’d tried to put Inuyasha off with excuses — she had a makeup exam, her school had changed its schedule — but she could tell he didn’t believe her. Because how could she tell Inuyasha that she needed to go back to her time to make him a Christmas present?

--

No Matter The Storm by @lavendertwilight89 (T)

Kagome gets taken and Inuyasha comes to save her but the can't outrun the winter storm. Trapped in a cave, what could happen?

--

Ego & Bias by hoshi-ni-onegai (T)

Sometimes, first impressions are everything and Inuyasha wasn't winning any contests. While attending a holiday party, Kagome runs into a guy who grates her nerves like no one has before. AU.

--

Christmas Traditions by @ideasthatbuildcities (G)

It's Christmas time and Kagome is eager to start sharing with her daughter the Christmas traditions she used to do with her mother. She only hopes Moroha would like to be as involved as Kagome wants her to be. Inuyasha is helping in his own way. [InuKag Family Christmas fluff for ruddcatha for the 2020 Inuyasha Fandom Secret Santa on Tumblr]

--

Mistletoe Tales by Reinamy (T)

The holidays are a time for miracles, even of the romance-variety. A love story told in bits-and-pieces.

[jewel-shard]

The Language of Love and Flowers

Summary:

Inuyasha tries to process the kiss that almost was, and exactly what it meant.

Written for @witchygirl99 Congratulations on another trip around the sun! May the wind carry your broom and magic fill your keyboard. Sending you good vibes and silly fluff to celebrate your wonderfully witchy self!

[classysassy9791]

Tagging all the peeps because ya'll need to get writing @serial-doubters-club @kiliinstinct @pencilofawesomeness @elkonigin @yukinon-writes @ruddcatha @neutronstarchild @violetasteria @skyelara @keichanz @fawn-eyed-girl @lazy8blog @sereia1313 @cat-zchen @xfangheartx @livinginthefifthdimension @mynightshining @shade-without-color @witchygirl99 @lutelyre @splendentgoddess @dawnrider @inuyashamybeloved @clearwillow @kawaiichan67 @lostinfantasyworlds @lavendertwilight89 @mrfeenysmustache @mamabearcat @shikonstar @queerkagome @arisukingdom and everyone else I missed (cause I know I missed a ton)

[moonkissedart]

My version of the Gala-night kiss from Leverage by @witchygirl99 If you haven’t read yet give it a try!

It was my first assassin theme fanfic, and I liked it a lot, so maybe not the last. The plan was a dark and bloody art, but my soul wanted something else. Maybe in the future.

[violetasteria]

🌀Keeps Getting Better🌀

Don’t call it an era, but I sure have been inspired by other fandom authors lately! 😘

I’m so excited to bring you a new one-shot companion to @witchygirl99′s Best Day Ever, where we finally learn what Sango was talking about when she said she’s seen him naked before 👀 💙

Read ✨Keeps Getting Better✨ on ao3 now! 🌀

Once again part of my heavily delayed (and even more delayed due to unexpected travel) @inumothership​ Fleet Week 2023!

Preview below the cut! PS - @classysassy9791 this is the one you’ve been waiting for 😉

This wasn’t like before, they were stone cold sober tonight. She couldn’t run, not without the questions following. While panic rose again within her, her brooding brown eyes found his once more and stared conflictingly into them for a moment. Those oceanic indigo eyes were swirling with questions now, ones she really wasn’t prepared to answer. 

 “This was a mistake,” she finally answered remorsefully. “I should go.” 

 As soon as the words left her mouth, she rolled out of his grasp, reaching quickly down to gather her clothes, carelessly discarded and scattered about his floor. In that moment, she was determined to escape once again, despite knowing full well that there was no way to avoid the conversation that was coming. Not this time. 

That’s when she felt his strong grasp around her wrist, lightly pulling her back towards him. A light gasp escaped her lips as she felt the warmth of his hand spread up to her chest. She stared back at him, wide brown eyes glistening with the tears she desperately wanted to hide. 

“Wait, don’t go,” he pleaded with her. His mesmerizing blue eyes pierced into her the same way it did in her prosecco haze all those months ago. A pink flush broke on her face again, and she felt her resolve slowly melting away. She clutched the sheet closer to her heaving chest, afraid of giving into him again. 

“Talk to me, Sango,” he begged, his voice full of concern now. “What’s going on?”

Inu-spiration Halloween Bang!

Hello! This is the CHAPTER THREE! It’s been a long time and this Halloween Bang is from last year... Sorry everyone, hope you enjoy this next chapter!

The amazing @mamabearcatfanart and I have brought you modern witch Kagome.

Read Witch’s Brew on AO3!

Summary: Beaten down from years of hate and discrimination, Inuyasha journeys to a town that he hopes will be a place to finally call home. As he learns what it means to be accepted and appreciated, he finds himself mesmerized by the voice and face of the most unlikely person, the town witch.

@ruddcatha @lavendertwilight89 @cstormsinukagblog @clearwillow @mamabearcat @witchygirl99 @dawnrider @fawn-eyed-girl @pinkpigeonstudio @superpixie42 @smmahamazing @bluejay785 @zelink-inukag @liz8080 @rootpatterson @umacaking @zelico-blog @i-dream-of-soup  

[shade-without-color]

You enter, and the door closes behind you. [Read it at A03]

Do be warned that the following heavy subjects will be discussed for the following fanfic: gaslighting, violence against women, sexual violence, eating disorders, religious topics, torture, and blood, so please take care of yourself if you are uncomfortable with the following topics

Summary: Midoriko was called by two representatives from the dilapidated Qilin house to marry the Lord of the house, with a set of keys as her wedding gift. Curiosity took over Midoriko when she encountered a red-haired stranger at her wedding leading her to explore the mansion's mysteries with that said set of keys.

So surprise! For @inu-spiration Halloween reverse bang I work with the amazing @mrfeenysmustache on this chilling feminine horror tale!, I could go easily for a Middle Ages AU, but instead, I want to challenge myself to write a genre that I never did, as I was obsessed with listening to or watching playthroughs of Bluebeard's Bride; which you play as the new wife of Bluebeard which you explored the house with chilling horrors or frightening servants, figuring the truth about her new husband.

I am super proud I worked on this story, despite that I am not a horror writing genre myself (I dabble a little from time to time), and I am so glad that I took that plunge though I have some scares for myself. To dive into my dark inner demons to narrate a tale of strength and grit from us women despite bleak situations.

A huge shoutout to @witchygirl99 for helping me to beta this project despite that technology did not agree with us and being so game for this project.

Enjoy this creepy creepy tale fitting for Halloween, and oh I made a playlist for your listening pleasure

So get cozy y'all for a spooky tale!

So here is Feeny's gorgeous work under the cut!

For the Fic Line Guessing Game!!!

Your lines: Sesshomaru did not comment on his brother’s staring, allowing him to take in his appearance.  Though it was unfamiliar and a bit awkward for him, Sesshomaru couldn’t ignore the usefulness of this form.  He wasn’t completely defenseless as he had believed he would be. 

Hello @witchygirl99 my love!

That is definitely Jungle Fever !

Not often Sesshoumaru lets his brother stare at him without repercussions...

Inuvember 2023 Part 1

In honor of @inuvember InuKag Day, the Archive Mods have put together a 30 item InuKag recommendation list: one InuKag fic per prompt. Since this list is longer than our usual, we've split it into two parts. Enjoy!

Day 1 Inuyasha

I Hate That Fucking Well by @kstewdeux (M)

Post-manga. Inuyasha POV. Inuyasha's inner thoughts and monologues. Rated M for fucking language

Day 2 Kagome

Cinnamon Hearts by @fandomobsessions016 (M)

"So, you may be wondering, what’s this story about anyway? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s about how this queen, almost lost her crown, her throne, but worst of all… it’s about how this queen almost lost her king…

Hindsight, of course, has perfect vision, but at the time I did not. I was a girl becoming a woman who fought bitterly against change that was inevitable. I didn’t want to open my eyes. I didn’t want to see what was right in front of me.

What I wanted more than anything was to keep Inuyasha.

High school forced my eyes open, tested our “unshakable” bond and made me confront my biggest fear. All because…

I caught feelings for my best friend.

I like-liked my king."

Day 3 Sango

Forever Home by KittyKatz (M)

How long had he roamed the earth in a form that was not his? Beaten, dirty and caged, he finds one last bit of fortune when she comes to rescue him from this place. But his road to redemption will not be easy. And he will find, that no matter how the world has changed, his old enemy remains. And this time, they plan to destroy him once and for all.

Day 4 Miroku

Under the Northern Lights by @lostinfantasyworlds (E)

Kagome Higurashi has her dream job, working as a photographer for the internationally well-known Yugen magazine. Her career whisks her all around the world, leaving her feeling lonely sometimes but mostly just incredibly grateful to be doing what she loves. When she gets assigned to Alaska for a month to photograph a series of celestial events, she runs into Inuyasha, a half-demon who lives on his own in the middle of nowhere. A mutual attraction draws them to each other, but Kagome's time there is limited. Will giving in to their desire lead to love or heartbreak?

Day 5 Shippo

Oh, But You're Good To Me by @witchygirl99 (E)

It’s a terrible photo, really. The action figure takes up the entire bottom of the screen and part of both of their faces. Shippo’s giggling though, eyes shut and crinkled in his mirth while Inuyasha looks at him. His expression is clearly fond. It’s the softest Inuyasha has ever, ever seen himself.

This is fatherhood, he thinks a little wildly.

He sends the photo to Kagome.

Inuyasha is a single father. Shippo is his adopted son. Kagome isn't supposed to be in the picture, but somehow, she returns anyways. A story about family, love, and all of its obstacles.

Day 6 Sesshomaru

Whispers in the Wind by @ruddcatha (G)

It has been 500 years since Kagome jumped back down the well to be with Inuyasha. A messenger waits to see her family, and is joined by a surprising guest.

Day 7 Rin

My Life Before You by @len-barboza (E) -- based on a story by Mizune-mei

No English language summary provided. Inuyasha había vivido la mayoría de su vida huyendo, un huérfano medio demonio considerado por la gente una aberración, rechazado por demonios y por humanos, pero quien pensaría que esa era una mejor vida, al menos un propósito lo movía; sobrevivir, que sucede con un hanyo con una vida longeva, en completa soledad.

Day 8 Kikyou

Stolen Soul by Kimberly-A (T)

COMPLETE Kikyo uses a spell to exchange bodies with Kagome, leaving Kagome stuck in the dead shell and Kikyo comfortably human. In the aftermath, Inu-Yasha faces difficult choices. InuKag, not very Kikyo-friendly.

Day 9 Koga

A New Moon, A New Start by @pinestripes (T)

Kouga visits the village near the Sacred Tree. On this particular evening, he finds that a certain half-demon is more on edge than usual.

Day 10 Kagura

The Portal Between Worlds by @neutronstarship (E)

Ten years ago, a portal transported Inuyasha from the demon realm to the human realm. Now a half-demon alone in a world he doesn't understand, he will do anything to get home. When Onigumo brings him a book with all the answers, Inuyasha pushes aside his misgivings and works with the man. He just wants to get home, after all.

Kagome just wants to make an extra buck (and find demons), much to Kikyo’s chagrin. That is why she published Demons Among Us! after all. But strange things start happening when she puts the book online. As if people are using it to open the portals that it hypothesized… When Kagura and Sango join the fray, the stakes grow higher as they try to find the source of the portals.

When Inuyasha encounters Kagome, fate is not what it seems. Not one, but two realms are in danger for their survival. What happens when the final portal opens and an unknowable terror is unleashed? Can the Demon Hunters save the world?

Day 11 Naraku

You Rescued Me by @keizfanfiction (E)

Maybe it was fate that he decided to take the back way home that night, but whatever the reason, Inuyasha was grateful for arriving just in the nick of time to rescue a waif of a woman who had clearly been through hell. He never would have imagined that she would end up rescuing him, too.

Day 12 Band of Seven

Delicate by @akitokihojo (T)

To trust someone, to let them in, what an unsettling ordeal. Kagome is easy and safe, and Inuyasha is difficult and guarded. She can put him at ease with a smile, simultaneously setting him on edge. It was nothing until it was something, creating absolute chaos and uncertainty within the both of them.

Day 13 Jinenji/ Shiori

How Does Your Garden Grow? by @dawnrider (M)

An Ingary-esque AU: Kagome, the newest generation of caretakers of the Higurashi House, finally starts to feel like her garden and business is thriving with the help of her friend Jinenji. Their routine is thrown off by the arrival of an injured visitor who does not want to be found...

Day 14 Toga

Taisho School of Acting: A Quick Guide by @jeremymarsh (G)

“Excuse me, what?” Kagome looked at her best friend with eyes as big as saucers, lips parted, and her mind replaying what he had said a moment before – trying to find a sense but to no avail. “You heard me.” Inuyasha scowled, looking down, arms crossed and lips pouting, just like he did every time he didn’t like the topic at hand. The problem was he had started it this time. “Yeah, I did.” Kagome shook her head and inhaled deeply before she continued. “And that’s why I’m asking you to repeat yourself since I’m having problems believing that certain sentences left your mouth.” “I said,” Inuyasha started through clenched teeth, still not meeting her gaze, “come to my family Christmas dinner this Sunday.” He stopped, ran a hand through his silver mane, closed his eyes, murmured something unintelligible and then added: “As my girlfriend.”

Where Inuyasha tries to fool his parents and miserably fails.

Day 15 Izayoi

The Silence of Daisies by Fierywenchxo (T)

Inuyasha shares with Kagome one of the biggest secrets he's ever kept. One-shot.

READ PART (2) HERE

[heynikkiyousofine]

@clearwillow @shikonstar @elkonigin @witchygirl99 @fawn-eyed-girl @that-one-nerdy-gal @keichanz @superpixie42

don’t you ever read a piece of fanfiction so good you just
