– 26 – .the gift. Sesshoumaru steps down into the room, his sword Bakusaiga dripping blood and poison. With a flick of his wrist, he flings the droplets from the blade, as though in disgust. Yet his face betrays no emotion. They regard one another in wary silence. Within the circle of her arms, she
How To Get More Reviews
Let’s be honest with ourselves—we all want feedback for our fics. Pageviews are awesome of course, but they don’t tell us the whole story. It can be hard to judge from a number count whether people actually like the content you’re putting out or whether they were reaching for the back button within 1 second
SessKag Shorts: Elysium
The dead don’t question their fate. It’s the living who are left to wonder. After the ash settles and the sky clears, after their loved ones are laid to rest beneath a pile of sun-bleached stone, where do they go from here? The lone survivor in the battle for the Shikon no Tama picks herself
If Rey Ends Up With Poe, I’m Going to Kill Myself
…Okay, not really. But I am going to be severely put out. I’ll admit that I’ve been a die-hard Rey x Ren shipper since The Force Awakens. There’s never been a Sith/Jedi hook-up in the movies before, and just the idea of it is hot as fuck. Although I’m under no illusions that they will
Why I Don’t Ship Canon
People always say, “Never say never,” so I can’t say that I’m NEVER going to ship a canon couple. But as a general rule, I don’t ship them. Knowingly, at least. Sometimes the writers will surprise you. Maybe it’s my natural contrariness or perversity, but I tend to be drawn to character mash-ups (or smash-ups,
Dexter Morgan: The Dumbest Genius You’ll Ever Meet
I’ve tried really hard to like this show. But now at the end of Season 3 of Dexter, I’m just not sure I can muster any more effort. It’s not so much the gaping plot holes or the godawful, blood-pressure-spiking annoyance of Dexter’s sister Deb that are causing me to throw in the towel. It’s
SessKag Shorts: The Spice of Life
“That ramen had better be ready by the time I get back, wench!” Inuyasha yelled cheerfully over his shoulder as he leapt into the trees, Sango and Miroku following after him on Kirara. Kagome scowled, her hands balling to fists at her sides. Too bad Inuyasha was out of “sitting” range, or she would have
How Toutousai Saved the World
You may think that Inuyasha & Co. saved the day by defeating Naraku and putting an end to the Shikon no Tama, but they wouldn’t have gotten very far without a certain bug-eyed demon blacksmith. Not much is known about our beloved Toutousai—except that he is without question the most badass geezer in the entire
SessKag Series: The Secretary, Part 1
“Higurashi Kagome,” his smooth deep voice intoned, the cover letter of her application creasing faintly in his elegant hand. Kagome clenched her jaw, trying her best not to fidget as his sharp amber eyes raked over her personal statement. With a flick of his thumb he promptly dismissed it, moving on to her resumé. In
A Cat’s (Tail)
Hi, my name is Cam. But my humans call me Kitty. I have no tail, but that’s okay. I don’t mind. The adoption papers say that I’m a “manx.” My mom doesn’t know if I was born a manx or not. Neither do I. I was too young to remember. Let me show you around my
