We all love HOTM–that goes almost without saying–but I wanted to take this opportunity to gush about another Resmiranda favorite of mine: Fugue. What is it like to live on after the life you’d thought you’d lead is over? Resmiranda explores the dimensions to this question with her trademark beautiful imagery. Some time during the night,

Stasis Chapter 26: the gift
– 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
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
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,
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
Tales From the Crypt: The Crystal Keeper’s Daughter
Once published on FF.net, the beginnings of this Shiori-centric tale were later removed after I decided not to follow through with the would-be ShioriInuyasha epic I’d originally had in mind. I still think about this story from time to time and regret that I killed it off so soon. Who knows, maybe I’ll resurrect this
Stasis: The Soundtrack
Words can only express so much–a fact I found frustratingly true in the course of writing my Inuyasha dark epic, Stasis. How do you articulate pain? How do you convey despair, or capture the essence of rage? You can describe the actions, the sounds. The consequences. But the emotion itself–that lies in another realm entirely. A world
SessKag: The Addiction Explained
A quick search on FF.net will reveal that, at nearly 16k fics and counting, SessKag is without question the most popular Inuyasha odd couple. There is even an entire website devoted to these two. But why. Why can we just not seem to get enough of this unlikely duo? After all, there are plenty of
