The Bargain

Tuesday’s Tote. I’ve been adding a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site each week. (Expect that trend to continue.) And as an added bonus, the revealed pattern becomes available in my Threadless & TeePublic shopfronts. Totes, masks, and note cards are available. This week we’re adding an homage to The Bargain.

Summary: Lessons learned in childhood last a lifetime. They mold young minds and shape their futures. The things that left the biggest impressions on Sesshoumaru were his father… his teacher… and an egg. Canon Divergence. Oneshot.

Childhood Days. This short story is notable because it introduced Hisoka-sensei to the world and inspired Unspoiled, which is arguably my most famous fanfiction. If you take it a step further, it could be argued that without Hisoka-sensei, the Amaranthine Saga wouldn’t exist. But I honestly love this little ficlet for its own sake.

Updated! Iruka is sent undercover on a mission that bears every resemblance to an enforced vacation. It’s the world’s most boring assignment. And the loneliest. Until a chatty photojournalist named Sukea starts hanging around. Canon Divergence. [Iruka & Kakashi/Sukea/Hound]

The Kissing Bandit

Tuesday’s Tote. And more, really, because patterns are currently available on totes, masks, and notecards. As previously mentioned, I’ll be adding a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site every week. AND then make the pattern available in my Threadless & TeePublic shopfronts. This week we’re adding an homage to The Kissing Bandit.

Summary: An art thief with an unusual calling card is after a set of priceless statues. The Taishos take steps to protect the Four Souls, but the cat burglar is elusive. When Sango steps forward as a witness, she’s asked to help catch the Casanova crook. Alternate Universe. [Miroku x Sango]

Can Confirm. Maybe you noticed those fleeting references in the Amaranthine Saga to the Gentleman Bandit? Yep. Totally a nod to this story.

Tuesday’s Tote. Okay, technically, it’s more than a tote. Patterns are currently available on totes, masks, and notecards. But alliteration can be nice. The PLAN is to add a new fandom book cover to Goodreads & to the fanfic site every week. AND add the pattern to the offerings in my Threadless & TeePublic shopfronts. This week it’s Guardian‘s turn.

Summary: Chihiro spends a long, hot summer in a tiny seaside community, minding an old auntie’s store, but a legend whispered by locals leads the young woman on a quest of rediscovery.

**Author’s Note from Ch2** For those who maybe didn’t make it all the way to Episode 469 of Naruto Shipuuden, you’re missing a vital piece of information. Sukea is an alter ego that Kakashi uses when information gathering. To the delight of screencappers everywhere, he reprises the role in Boruto, so there are plenty of opportunities to (finally) get a gander at the Copy Ninja’s bare face.

InuYasha x Amaranthine Saga. I’m calling this the day’s finale. You’ve been waiting for it, haven’t you? ::twinkle::

Summary: Sesshoumaru applies for adoption at Stately House, but Argent Mettlebright won’t let his orphans go to just anyone. Especially not to a dog who cannot produce a satisfactory pedigree. Reinforcements arrive on either side of the standoff. (IY x Amaranthine Saga crossover) Canon Divergence.

News Hound

New Story. New Fandom. I’ve always sort of wanted to write for the Naruto fandom. (Iruka is my all-time favorite ninja. So there.) Early this year, I started messing with News Hound on the side. Just a scene here or there, in between all the other things I was supposed to be doing. (I like having an escape!story for days when I’m feeling rebellious.) Lo, and behold, the thing behaved so well, it’s essentially complete. TWO chapters to give you a running start. New chapters will post every Tuesday.

Summary: Iruka is sent undercover on a mission that bears every resemblance to an enforced vacation. It’s the world’s most boring assignment. And the loneliest. Until a chatty photojournalist named Sukea starts hanging around. Canon Divergence. [Iruka & Kakashi/Sukea/Hound]
