Kagome: InuYasha.
InuYasha: Hm?
Kagome: I don't like that you don't have a last name.
InuYasha: Excuse me?
Kagome: You have no last name. It sucks!

Kagome: It doesn't suit you. You deserve a last name.
Kagome: You should get a last name.
InuYasha: Get one??? And to what???

20 year old Rin ilysm
(The demon/human cultural dissonance of Rin wanting to learn self defence so that she "doesn't have to rely of Lord Sesshomaru". To demons, the stronger ones in the clan protect the weaker ones and that's how it's supposed to be. The idea of Rin not wanting to be a burden doesn't quite compute to poor Sesshomaru. He's like tf? does she not think me capable any more ?? What have I done to lose her faith ??? )

Thank you!!!
superpyku asked:
Hello, I love a good post-canon fanfic where it describes what happened when Kagome came back from the well. Doesn't need to be a long fic about their life thereafter but one about what happened during and immediately after their reunion will be good. Would love to know your fav list of such. Thank you

We love a good reunion fic! The list below is full of stories that take place right as Kagome returns to the Feudal Era and immediately after, split into NSFW and SFW for whatever mood you're looking for.

To Fight For Tomorrow by @sarah-writes-stories (E)
The shard hunt...the battle with Naraku...it was only the beginning.

The red threads of fate had always tied them all together, had always guided them towards each other. Now, as new powers are revealed and souls are healed, their destiny becomes clear.
Theirs is a quest that requires everything they have to give.
Theirs is a battle they cannot afford to lose.
Theirs is a fight to protect tomorrow.

Kagome's Got To Go by @ajoy3fanfics (NR)
The way Yuki and Suki saw it, this Kagome woman needed to go.
From the first day she came, they knew she was trouble. They had been playing a perfectly fun game of 'who can annoy uncle the most' (It was always Suki), when he suddenly stood up, passing them off to Shippo with a distant look in his eyes. Uncle was fast, there was no question about that, but unless there was a reason for him to be on high alert, he was downright lethargic. Still, Uncle Inuyasha needing space wasn't anything new, so it wasn't terribly worrisome that he took off at high speed; It did, however, raise a few red flags when Shippo shook them off and headed in the dog demons direction, screaming "it's her! She's back!"

I have a prompt request! Can you do Inukag for “it was an accident” “it definitely wasn’t” ? Thank you!!
So I finally got around to this! I heard the call that fluff was needed and I aim to provide! Look what you did @brain-rot-hour...
Tumblr media
Some post-canon domestic angst (barely) to
fluffy mc fluff!
1020 words || Post-canon || Married InuKag
  The door covering of the hut flapped behind her as she stomped into the doma, removing her shoes just before stepping up onto the raised floor. She was stripping out of her clothes as she went, her mood less than sunny. There were decidedly wet plops on the flooring as each piece hit the wood.
The hanyou that followed her had his ears laid flat to his head as he peeked around the reed mat after his very stormy wife. He knew better than to say anything yet, opting to slip in silently and wait. He too was soaking wet, but he could wait it out.
Inuyasha held his tongue until she was in dry clothes, a towel in hand to dry her hair. She made no overtures to give him a towel and that was probably fair. He slowly peeled out of his suikan, hanging it up on the hook by the door. The spot he was supposed to hang it, but usually forgot. He made a point to wipe his feet before stepping any further in.
“It was an accident,” he murmured finally, ears still flat to his head as he stood and watched her dry her hair while pointedly not looking at him. He could see the increase of tension in her shoulders and neck as she heard his words.
“It definitely wasn’t,” she replied in a hushed growl. He opened his mouth to respond, then thought better of it. He peeled off his hakama instead, hanging those by the suikan so they would drip dry for now. In nothing but his kosode and fundoshi, he felt pretty vulnerable as he knelt down across from her. But he noticed that his change in attire and position had definitely lessened her intensity. “You know better than to swing Tetsusaiga around like that. We’re not fifteen anymore.” He bit his lip. She was right, of course. But she wasn’t taking everything into account.
“That beetle was huge, Kagome, it could have stepped on you. It’s different when regular animals get infested with a youkai. They get real big, but not much smarter.”
She pounded her fist with the towel down against the floor in a show of frustration. “You act like I don’t know that! Like I haven’t been doing this with you for more than five years now! I’m not a naive little teenager anymore, Inuyasha.”
“I know that,” he whispered. “I just… You could have been hurt. The pup could have been hurt.”
Inuyasha felt the nausea that had gripped him when the beetle the size of a house came out of the woods upon them, behind Kagome’s back and much more silently than its size would imply. He’d just reacted. Tetsusaiga was in hand, transformed, and swinging in a wide arc before he even had time to think about it. The rush of viscera had been wholly unpleasant and the only thing that had kept him from passing out from the noxious smell was knowing he needed to get Kagome clear and cleaned off.
She had been too stunned from what had happened to protest the dunk in the lake, squealing at the cold once it registered. Inuyasha tried to help her get clean, but she was too upset. So he let her do it herself, got himself clean, and then carried her home in this angry state. He wanted to bluster and yell back at her, but he was too worried about what it might do to her and their pup. Kaede and Sango had been very clear with him that he was not to upset her, especially in the later stages, as she could go into labor before it was time. So he had been holding his tongue a lot lately.
“I am pregnant, not an idiot. If you had moved us out of the way like you usually do and given me time to react, I could have gotten out of the way. As it is, you swinging that giant sword around could have been more dangerous than the beetle!”
He flinched when she did, her hand going to her belly.
A kick.
She wasn’t so far along that they needed to worry, but that didn’t mean he didn’t anyway. Inuyasha growled, standing. “I was protecting you. That’s what I do!”
“We protect each other, Inuyasha. I’m not a damsel in distress!”
“No, but you are my Mate and you are the mother of my unborn pup! I’m not going to apologize for protecting you both!”
It was Kagome’s turn to bite her tongue. Clenching her jaw, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath through her nose. “I am not upset at you for protecting me, Inuyasha. Or the baby. Of course I want us to be safe. I just need you to think first.”
Despite his irritation, he could see her point now. And he had been feeling guilty all along for accidentally covering her in bug guts…
“I will do my best to think first, then react.”
“Thank you. That’s all I ask.”
“That’s all?” he asked a little teasingly.
“And to help me get these tabi off. I can’t reach and they’re soaked and I hate them.”
He chuckled a little. “Give em here, princess.”
“Excuse you,” she protested.
“You’re lucky it’s me down here. There’s squishy bits between the toes.”
“Inuyasha! Gross!” she cried, lightly kicking at him. He laughed, tossing the tabi aside and catching her feet. He grabbed her towel and rubbed her feet dry. Then he held them in his lap and warmed them, lightly rubbing along the arches like he knew she needed. “Hm… Better.”
“The best, and you know it.”
“You’re lucky I can’t reach you from here right now.” He pressed his thumb a little more firmly into that spot he knew always hurt until he stretched it out. “Oh… Alright, fine. You’re forgiven,” she groaned, falling onto her elbows and letting her head fall back.
“Damn right.” She gave him a look. “Damn right, you’re beautiful?”
“Uh huh. Love you too, Dog Boy.”
Inuyasha’s face split into a grin. “Keh.”

InuSpiration - Smashing Pumpkins
Tumblr media
This story is a submission for Inu-Spiration 5. All the art for this piece has been drawn by @brain-rot-hour, who sent me the original piece and then just kept sending me more and more as the story never stopped. I was only given this opportunity to write because @serial-doubters-club allowed me the honor of taking her idea and running off like a banshee into the night. Thank you so much for letting me have it and make it into this.
Summary: "But sometimes a someone is so hard to find And I'll do anything to keep her here tonight And I'll say anything to make her feel alright And I'll be anything to to keep her here tonight 'Cause I want you to stay, with me I need you tonight She comes to me like an angel out of time As I play the part of a saint on my knees There are some things I'll live without But I want you to know that I need you right now"
-"In the Arms of Sleep"

So I was thinking about how post canon Inuyasha and Miroku consistently take on demon extermination jobs and (I assume) get a decent amount of $hmoney.
I imagine that Miroku is in his element (😂 He’s finally useful and we don’t even get to see it in action!) and is incredibly well suited for swindling a good deal. Especially now that he’s a father of 3 ! ! !
I like the idea of them being well off and bringing in some wealth that benefits the entire village. And Inuyasha is around so they have so much more protection. Idk if it’s just the anime but these villages were really bare bones! The door was a flapping piece of cloth! Kagome would want a door.
Like what if the village grew and gained some attention bc of the gangs deeds.
Augh! I wish we got to see more of the villagers so I could speculate what resources they had access to. Like we’re they farmers?
Anyway I like picturing the village having a big enough crowd where they’d start celebrating festivals and drawing traders, opening up shops and markets ect ect.
Like would Inuyasha help gather resources to support them? Go hunting for them or join their groups and help? It’s cute thinking about how they would appreciate his yokai senses and protection. It means well fed villagers and fortification against the winter months. Like life is hard in this time period so I think this would be a big deal!
Oooo and it’s easy to picture Kagome and Miroku schooling the villager kids about herbs, writing, reading, or like idk health? Like it would start with them teaching their own children and there’s a natural progression of kids joining in on their sessions.
And does this growth affect the timeline in anyway? What if they are securing Tokyo’s future by protecting this village 😂 This is technically the same spot in the future right?

The taiyoukai held her gaze for the longest time. Kikyou could feel him trying to probe inside her mind, but her eyes never wavered and her mental barrier held strong. Suddenly, Sesshomaru slid close and the ex-priestess felt herself lowered gently to the futon.
"I shall allow you your secrecy for now, my lady." The taiyoukai's voice turned husky as he hovered above her. "However, I shall take your advice and enjoy the remainder of the quiet," he said, before his lips closed over the beating pulse at her throat.

Evermore - a post-canon ficlet collection for @inukag-week 2022 ❤ Chapter 7/7 - Anniversary: Kagome’s been keeping track of time. ☆ Rating: G | Tags: Angst / Fluff / The Inexplicable Longing of Time Travel | Word Count: 1708 ☆ Read it on AO3 ▶ Part 1 ☆ Part 2 ☆ Part 3 ☆ Part 4 ☆ Part 5 ☆ Part 6 ☆
Six months.
It took a measly six months for Inuyasha’s entire world to turn upside down in a single moment. A cluster of seconds and a whisper in the back of his head was enough to set him alight.
He’d been perplexed to find Kagome headed out early when he arrived at Kaede’s to collect her, and from her reaction, Kaede was just as surprised to see him. Things weren’t adding up, but she couldn’t have gotten far, and Kaede confirmed she’d left not long before he arrived.
Inuyasha left her in the dust and started in the direction he hoped she would have headed; home. He veered off that path when his nose carried him sharply to the left, a snag in her scent that changed his trajectory on instinct. When he caught up with his feet and noted the direction he was taking, he had to wonder what would take her there, of all places.
Tumblr media
The forest was eerily quiet as he ran. If he didn’t know any better, Inuyasha would have said his nose was playing tricks on him, but he’d run this same path more times than he could count, and Kagome’s signature was unusually palpable. He felt the brush of her reiki as he approached, and he faltered; his wife had definitely come this way.
It wasn’t until he landed in the clearing and couldn’t see her that he started to sweat. With a jolt, he sprung forward, the white-hot panic sending him soaring towards the well.
When he landed two feet from its lip, he heaved a sigh of relief when her head popped up from the other side. He slapped a hand to his chest, a fruitless attempt to slow his beating heart, but that relief was short-lived when he caught tears on the breeze.
“Kagome?”
“Hi,” she greeted, but it was small and decidedly unlike her.
Inuyasha rounded the well, crouching next to her to get a better look as he tried and failed to control his breathing. “What’s wrong?”
His question was met with a watery smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
The panic that ebbed at locating her found its flow again. “Kagome–” he began, stopping when he felt too many words crawl up his throat. “Talk to me.”
He’d learned a lot from her over the years, patience being one of them. She always gave him time to think, to breathe, and he wanted to give her the same in her moments of turmoil. Even if he was slowly going insane, wondering what that turmoil was and what she was doing at the place that could, potentially, take her away at a moment's notice.
“Sorry,” she murmured, but he didn’t want her apologies, at a complete loss while she sniffled through it. “I’m fine. Promise.”
She was lying, but Inuyasha would give her that; he always lied about his feelings, even if he could never hide them for long.
Pushy was his nature, but he warred with it, turning to plant himself on the dirt next to her. He leaned back against the well, tipping his head back to gaze at the sky. He stayed silent, sure his presence would be enough to get her to talk, and he had all the time in the world to sit next to her. She could never not talk, and that wouldn’t change because she was upset. If anything, the dam would break, and she’d be spilling everything into his lap in no time.
He hoped.
If she didn’t, he was content to sit in her company until she was ready to head home, where he could plant her, watch her, and solidify that she was here; with him, in his time where she belonged. He peeked down at her when she drew her legs up and wrapped her arms around them, holding them tight and making herself so impossibly small it tugged at his resolve to give her the space.
“Mama’s birthday is coming up,” she said quietly.
Inuyasha looked up again and closed his eyes, blinding himself to the clouds rolling by. He should’ve known. Why else would she sit against the stupid thing when she’d notably avoided it since her return? It was one of the few places that connected her to a future he wasn’t a part of, but held the people she’d known and loved before him just beyond her reach.
Why would she be here if not to feel close to the family she didn’t have anymore?
“She knew immediately, you know? I think, anyway,” Kagome said, dropping her chin to her knees. “She knew it would be the last time we saw each other. She knew this was where I wanted to be and didn’t hesitate to let me go.”
Inuyasha wished he could thank her, the woman who let her daughter throw herself into an abyss in their well-house for a final time. He equally wished he could apologise and grovel at her feet; it was akin to death but tilted, and he knew what it was to live in a world without Kagome.
“Would you….” He wasn’t sure how to finish it, and he kept his eyes away from her so he could think straight. He didn’t want to ask, didn’t need to ask, but he had to ask, “Would you go back?”
An ear tipped to the side when he heard a sharp intake of breath.
The sounds of the forest surrounding them became distant while he waited, and all he could hear were two heartbeats. He lowered his head to glance at her, and she looked surprised – scandalised, even – that he would wonder.
“No,” she said with a shake of her head. “No,” she repeated, unfurling herself to scoot closer and grab at his arms. He uncrossed them and gave her the hands she was looking for, linking their fingers together and holding tight.
“There are going to be times when I miss them more than others,” she explained, and it was accepting, albeit drenched in longing. Her eyes dropped from his, and she squeezed the hands she held hostage. “And that sucks.”
Kagome laughed through it, but her eyes watered, and Inuyasha let go of one of her hands to throw his arm around her shoulders. He crushed her to his side while his nose found her hair, and he didn’t know what to say, but he needed her to know he was there to listen.
“I’m going to miss them,” she affirmed, letting go of his hand to wipe her nose with her sleeve. “It’s normal to miss your loved ones, but the circumstances are just…strange.”
She peeked behind them, and he turned his head to eye the well with her. The tingle they’d come to know was lost to time and left it as the unremarkable landmark that it was – but one they knew to be remarkable and then some.
“Yeah,” he agreed. He’d visited every three days for three years straight while he was missing her, and he knew what it meant to be caught up in its strange. “Yeah, you’re right.”
He glanced away from the well that gave and took so much to catch Kagome looking straight at him, and he stalled like he always did under her watch.
“I wouldn’t change anything.”
A lump formed in his throat, and his breath caught beneath it. He couldn't look away, and he was so close to thanking her until she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his.
Time restarted, he could breathe again, and his hands rose to cup her face between his palms. He’d waited so long for her, the longest wait of his life, and to take every step with her was a privilege, crying over dried-up wells and all.
She was right to miss them, and they’d be right to miss her because he was lucky enough to know the joys of what they were missing out on.
When air became necessary, he surrounded her in a billow of red. They whispered thoughts to each other tucked against the well that started it all, and Kagome shared the things she’d do for her mother on her birthday; traditions that were personal to them and only them, and he promised himself he’d make something special like that happen for her.
When they lost track of time, and the sun started to set, Inuyasha helped her to her feet before dropping to a crouch in front of her. He looked over his shoulder as he tapped it, and Kagome didn’t hesitate to settle onto his back, arms wrapping securely around his neck. He stood, lifting her with him as he turned on his heel and headed in the direction of home.
Inuyasha wasn’t in a rush as he trekked a beaten path – a path they’d beaten together – the wife on his back chatting his ears off the entire way as she fell into her own stride. She recounted her day; she told him her plans for the rest; she pointed to a tree that needed to fall and a ravine near their hut they could filter closer with a little planning and muscle. It would be work for him, but he’d do it all in a heartbeat if it meant making her time here not just comfortable but enjoyable.
She could ask him for damn near anything, and he’d probably offer a limb to get it for her.
He loosened his hold and let her drop to her feet when they came to the clearing they'd carved for themselves. She asked him so many questions in such a short period that he lost track of all of them. It didn't matter much; he knew the answer regardless.
“Whatever you want,” he murmured, catching her hand to tuck into his as they reached the entrance to their home.
“Aw.” She turned and smiled, but he clocked the cheekiness and braced himself as she leaned her free hand against the wood to block his path. The door framed her perfectly, and his mouth twitched at the picture. “You got a crush on me or something?”
“Yeah,” Inuyasha scoffed, but he beamed at her whether he could help it or not. “Somethin’ like that.”

Decided to make a lighthearted manga version of my fic Binded! Will be making it into a short series, and some OCs will appear in future instalments. Weee I'm so excited! Tis a dream of mine to materialize my writing. <3
The process was surprisingly a breeze--from scriptwriting, outline, scene prep, draft, lineart, inking and effects. Really enjoyed it...if only my toddler and I didn't share the same iPad lol.
If you're interested in reading the original fic, here's the ao3 link below. Be warned for mature themes however.
Binded | Ao3
Summary: Canon-Div. SessKag. Kagome, now a modern-day miko, discovers Sesshoumaru’s spirit during an exorcism. Desperate for answers to her inconclusive past, she resurrects and binds herself to him—a reckless decision that inevitably leads to catastrophic consequences. Domestic fluff that slips into the dark.

How about Six-ish Sentence Sunday? From a one shot I'm still working on inspired by @brain-rot-hour's Eclipse piece.
Anxious and hot.
Inuyasha finally noticed that he was sweating. He couldn't remember the last time he'd sweated, especially like this. Without preamble, he yanked his suikan open, letting it hang from his hakama at his waist. “Inuyasha?” He could only grunt as he fought his way out of the kosode sticking to his skin. Kagome stood at his strange behavior and sucked in a breath at the sweat slicking his skin and the way his bangs stuck to his forehead.
