Inevitability

With Naraku defeated, Kagome is more than surprised when her life as a wandering miko is interrupted by an unexpected turn of events. Watch as Kagome embarks on a journey filled with loss, friendship, tragedy, and love - not necessarily in that order.

This tale is a re-imagining of a story I started back in 2007 under the title Unexpected Love, With Someone Unexpected. For this story, I want to challenge myself and write it as a series of short drabbles to test the writing techniques I have learned over the years and to prove to myself that I can, in fact, complete a story - even if it may take twenty years to do so.

Join me in this harrowing journey of enshrouded mysteries, complex relationships, and (re)discovering one's identity.

Compatibility

Kagome Higurashi has been single for far too long, and with a lot of persuasion from her friends, she agrees to join the world of online dating. But can compatibility be decided by an app?

This tale is something I hold near and dear to my heart as it is loosely based on personal experience and heartbreak. Initially, I began writing Compatibility to heal after leaving a toxic relationship, and unfortunately, I found it difficult to continue writing this story once I had healed and became a happier/healthier version of myself. While returning to this story has been a challenge, I have been (re)inspired to continue. Many people have asked if this will ever be a Sess/Kag story, and the short answer: of course! This story is largely about mental health, trauma, and healing, so while Sess/Kag are end game, it's important to explore how both Sesshomaru and Kagome navigate these issues on their own before they can come together as a couple. Based on the current outline, there are 300+ chapters for this story, and Sesshomaru and Kagome will meet around the 100th chapter.

Join me as we watch our beloved characters determine their compatibility and wade through the challenges of love and heartbreak.

Sweet Nothings

Sweet Nothings is a quaint little café near the Sunset Shrine, and its incredible coffees and intricately designed confections are a tasty treat and are far superior to anything a corporate franchise could offer. However, not a single customer has entered the premises aside from Higurashi Kagome, a lover of all things sweet and savory, who can’t understand why. As she forms a tentative friendship with the shop owner and as customer numbers slowly increase with her unsolicited advertising, Kagome begins to suspect that the café may be hiding a deep secret, and she is determined to find out what it is – even if it changes her perceptions of the world and of him.

Sweet Nothings is a cute little story with our favourite duo, and it is comparatively different from the dark(er) content of my two other stories. Both Inevitability and Compatibility require me to be in certain headspaces when I write them, but after finding a writing prompt on Instagram, I was inspired to write this whimsical tale that is (mostly) drama free.

Join me in this lighthearted and heartwarming tale about two people who share their love for baked goods.

Variables

Just a collection of random and unrelated SessxKag one shots that don’t categorically or thematically fit in any of my other stories.

As my two other stories progress, this will be the home for deleted scenes and other random SessxKag snippets.

As of March 20, 2020:

As always, words can't express how deeply sorry I am for leaving you all waiting for updates. Life continues to get in the way of any type of creative processes. I currently teach academic writing, business writing, and literary analysis at a university, so any free moments I do have are spent sleeping...

I hope you are all well during this crazy pandemic.

Take care, stay safe, and stay healthy!

Edit [as of Mar. 20, 2020]: You never know, with all of my courses now online, I may have a free moment to update something...

Edit [as of May 19, 2020]: The above statement is a lie! I am more busy teaching online, creating audio-recorded presentations, live streaming, and developing interactive web content than I ever was teaching face-to-face! I will do my best, but for now, enjoy the random drabbles I will be uploading to Variables.

Edit [as of Jul. 3, 2020]: ForgottenDarkSoul (FDS) has undergone a name change! Time to break free from my angsty teens years as my thirties loom ever closer...
