#inuspiration 4

[mamabearcat]

Ta Da! May I present Queen Kagome! Long live the Queen! She doesn't look real comfy about sitting on that throne though. What could that be all about? You'll just have to read and find out!

The Unfortunate Queen by Elkonigin

It was my absolute privilege to be paired with @elkonigin for @inu-spiration 4. Truly, I feel like I got the best part of the deal, because I got to fangirl over each new chapter as they wrote it - the hardest part was that I wasn't able to blab to anyone else about how much I love this story!

You can bet there will be more art drawn for this AU, because I know I won't be able to help myself.

It’s the new moon and Inuyasha doesn’t want the villagers to know about his human night, so he and Kagome spend the night by the Goshinboku, when they are attacked by a youkai that wants the power of the slayer of the jewel.

CHAPTER 1 AND 2 ON AO3

This fic was done for @inu-spiration as part of the New Year Bang!!! I was paired with the amazing @razdazberry !!!!!

The fic is complete, but I chose to publish the next 2 chapters weekly, so stay tuned!!!!

Hi everyone! I had the pleasure of working with @takaobata for the @inu-spiration 4 event!

Presenting: Technicolor Dreams

InuKag, Canon compliant/divergent/complicit? 😅

Rated M for future content.

Summary: Kagome finds herself in a bizarre situation. Trapped and immobile, she is met with the sides of Inuyasha she thinks she knows, doing and saying things she never would have expected.

Happy New Year!!! 🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉

For this @inu-spiration event, I had the immense pleasure and honor of working with the classy, the sassy, the incredible, the amazing and crazy talented, the one and only @classysassy9791 ! She brought to life one of my favorite scenes that I'd been imagining for over a year with the most beautiful, breathtaking piece of art, which you can check out here. Please go give it all the love! Also, without her, this fic would have sat at the bottom of my pile of WIPs gathering dust for another year. I thank her immensely for believing in this story!

Thank you so much to @fawn-eyed-girl , @elkonigin, and Sassy for betaing my story and helping me whip it into shape! I wouldn't feel as excited and confident as I am to post it without your help! You guys rock!

And now without further ado...

A little SessSan, anyone?

Summary: When Sango fails to show up at one of her regular visits with Kohaku, Sesshomaru takes it upon himself to go to the village to look for her. As expected, showing up where he's not welcome proves chaotic, and Sango finds herself smack dab in the middle of two opposing worlds. Still, among the chaos, the taijiya is able to experience a moment of peace in the most unexpected of ways.

So, @elkonigin and I have been working on a little somethin' somethin' for Inuspiration 4, ready to be released in a few days. Or rather, she has been working hard, writing another epic tale that you are going to adore, with me fangirling in the background and putting sloppy sketches together.

I have done a finished piece that will be revealed on Jan 1st, a title page for this chapter fic, but I couldn't find an angle to do a sneak peek of that work that I liked, so I decided to share an early character sketch with you.

I quickly drew this character sketch of Kagome and Sango straight after @elkonigin shared the first chapter with me, because I just had to.

I hope it will get you salivating for what's to come!

Clickety Clack an @inu-spiration bang with @kalcia!

Summary: Inuyasha has had it with his upstairs neighbor. They have one of those annoying keyboards that click click clicks, and apparently the best time to type is 3-fucking-AM. Well... Inuyasha is finally at the end of his rope, so he goes to confront this neighbor. What greets him at the door is the opposite of what he expects.

Man oh man. 2022 was a punch to the gut of a year. I’m so grateful to get to welcome 2023 in with a little meet cute InuKag for the @inu-spiration bang, partnered with my wonderful friend and the incomparable @kalcia. My darling, without you here being my friend and supporting and talking with me, this story would not have happened. Thank you and I’m so so glad we’ve made it through another year as friends. To many more collaborations in the future ♥️

And for those of you who are wondering? YES. @kalcia’s art is incredible. You can see it here.
