Well, well, well.

Needless to say, although I've had an account here for quite some time, I haven't used it much -- FF.Net's recent enforcement of their TOS, however, has pushed me this way once more. I hope that I'll be around more often now (AFF.Net deserves a little love, too, after all!).

At any rate, below is a list of stories that will be finding a new home here.

Enjoy!

ONGOING STORIES:

The Twelfth Concubine: Alternate Universe. Kagome Higurashi, a village girl living in the Western Lands, learns that the enigmatic Lord of the West is looking for a twelfth concubine. Despite being human - and therefore a being despised by Lord Sesshomaru, who dislikes the race - Kagome bravely decides to travel to the Western Shiro and try to gain the inu lord's favor. Her place is soon found, but resentment toward her is quick on the rise, and she must endure much more than she ever thought. Next chapter in the works; to be updated Thursday, June 14, 2012. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. IN THE PROCESS OF BEING MOVED TO AFFN.

Endless: A two-shot originally meant to be a collection of interconnected one-shots, detailing the story of how Kagome and Sesshomaru went from best friends to something more. Final chapter in the works; to be completed by the end of June. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. IN THE PROCESS OF BEING MOVED TO AFFN.

The Fling: Alternate Universe. Multi-shot. Talked into spending a night on the town, over-worked Kagome Higurashi decides to throw all caution to the wind when the alluring Sesshomaru Okamoto entices her into sleeping with him. But a one night stand had never been what Sesshomaru'd had in mind, and he's determined to make Kagome see that what he offers is far more permanent. Next chapter in the works; to be updated by the beginning of July. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. IN THE PROCESS OF BEING MOVED TO AFFN.

Vivacious: Alternate Universe. After her father disgraces the North multiple times, the Youkai Council forces Kagome Higurashi, heiress to the Northern Lands, into a political mating with the youngest son of the Southern lord, Miroku Miyamoto. Kagome, sure that nothing good can come of love, vows that she will complete her duty for her people and her people only, but Miroku has a different plan in mind. He's certain it won't be easy, but he could be patient. Next chapter in the works; to be updated by the end of July. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. IN THE PROCESS OF BEING MOVED TO AFFN

STORIES ON HIATUS:

An Artist's Touch: Alternate Universe. Five hundred years after the Shikon Jewel was completed, former Lord of the West Taisho Sesshomaru returns to Japan, only to meet the one woman he could never forget: Higurashi Kagome. Eager to learn more about the mysterious youkai, Kagome, a professional photographer and successful artist, inserts herself into his life. However, though she may be determined to melt the youkai's icy heart, he isn't so keen on the idea. At least, not at first; Kagome did always have a way of making people change their minds. Likely to be rewritten. More news to come, likely to be moved to Dokuga as well.

Legacy: Alternate Universe. On a trip home from the Feudal Era, Kagome finds out that her mother is not her biological parent, and that she is, in fact, an inuyoukai born in the Sengoku Jidai to the Southern lord. What's more, the seal that has been keeping her human will release on her eighteenth birthday, and she will then be forced to live her life as a youkai. Kagome's life continues to spiral out of control, and she finds that on top of being betrothed to the cold Lord of the West, she must usurp her murderous uncle and take her rightful place as Lady of the South. This ordeal was bound to make advanced math look easy. Likely to be rewritten. More news to come. FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.
