– 29 – .cat and mouse. Back at port, she trades her hair pins for passage to India, and in a month’s time she sets foot in an unknown land. The air is dense with exotic spices, with the clamor of foreign tongues. For a time she diverts herself with exploring this new country and

SessKag Shorts: Paper Hearts
Kagome smiled as she put the finishing touches on her card. She wasn’t artistic by any means, but she’d taken extra care to follow the lines this time while cutting and to go easy on the glitter–“easy” being a relative term, of course. She blew lightly across the shiny red paper, a small sparkling cloud
Stasis Side-Stories: Abaddon, Part 3
The Jewel glows in his mother’s hand—a dark pearl of abominable power. An amalgam of crystallized souls. Insidious, yet lovely to behold. He studies it. Studies her. Her eyes glimmer with triumph. He can see that she has been studying him, too. “How like your father you are,” she says with a sneer. “Preoccupied with
Stasis Chapter 28: revelations
– 28 – .revelations. A glimpse of something in the distance. An archway of pure white stone– … She gasps wetly, saltwater streaming from her lips and eyes. Her throat is aflame, despite the dampness. She coughs in vain to soothe it. “Such foolishness.” His anger is palpable. It seethes like a current around her.
SessKag Series: The Secretary, Part 2
“Miko.” Kagome jumped in her chair. With a weary sigh, she frowned down at the intercom on her desk before pushing the small red button to respond. “Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama.” The words left her mouth a little terser than she’d intended. It rankled her that he’d demanded she address him with his old honorific like they
Stasis Side-Stories: Abaddon, Part 2
Iron claws score the salt crusted rock. Snarling, he drags up the writhing sea dragon. Wing-like fins shear against the crags, stomach plates sparking at the contact. Waves rise and crash as the serpent’s tail thrashes. He braces himself against the tide, fangs crushing through scale and flesh and bone. Death shrieks rattle the flinty
Stasis Chapter 27: across the sea
– 27 – .across the sea. Idly she touches the pendant at her breast. Her fingers trace the smooth outer curve, worry at the sharp angles that decorate the half-sphere’s jagged face. It is a broken thing, yet it warms beneath her attentions. There is, she supposes, a small comfort in that. Leaning back against
Stasis Side-Stories: Abaddon, Part 1 (Explicit)
Note: Abaddon is a companion fic series that parallels the events following Stasis, Chapter 22. “Tell me,” she says, “what am I to you?” Her voice trembles at the question. Her eyes, as well. Glistening and blue, they ripple at the words that drop from her lips–break like the surface of water beneath a fallen
SessKag Favorites: Fugue
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
