Keepsake
My gift for @spiralofdragon for @crescent-dreams' Winter Gift Exchange! Enjoy the holiday fluff lovely!
Read it on Ao3, Dokuga, and FFnet.
Summary: A storm--and an unknown enemy--catches Kagome off-guard. But it's the sudden appearance of the Lord of the West that leaves her confused and bewildered, especially after she's honour bound to nurse him back to health.
Sneak Peek
"How is it that any time there is trouble, you are at its epicentre?"
She didn't even bother turning around, knowing exactly what kind of expression he was wearing. "Hello to you too, Sesshoumaru."
"I did not use any such greeting," he huffed.
If she weren't so focused on her attacker, she would've rolled her eyes. "It's called sarcasm. If you spent more time around humans, you might understand it." Icicles shot out again, catching her shoulder. Hissing in pain, Kagome threw up another barrier, adjusting for the random flares in power.
"You could easily vanquish her," he stated, almost bored.
"I don't even know what she is!" Kagome shot back. "I don't attack people without talking to them first." The creature spun around, throwing snow in every direction. "I kill less people that way." Sesshoumaru huffed again, not deeming her important enough for an answer, and she shoved him out of the way. "If you're not going to help, you might as well leave. I don't need distractions."

Inu-Mothership Spotlight Saturday: Holiday Edition! Week 3: Sharing Traditions
Hi everyone! We here at the @inu-mothership are pleased to be back with another week of holiday fic recs! This week's theme is "Sharing Traditions," and we have 11 stories this week that we hope will put you in the holiday spirit!
As always, fics are listed below the cut in alphabetical order, with ships, ratings, and status (complete or ongoing) in the parentheses. Please enjoy, and maybe you will find a new favorite!
The Best Present (InuKag; T; complete) by @fawn-eyed-girl
Inuyasha helps Kagome bring a Christmas tree home to the Higurashi shrine. Kagome tells Inuyasha about the traditions of Christmas Eve, and he gives her a special gift.
Christmas Traditions (InuKag; T; complete) by LiaSango (Ao3)
It's Christmas time and Kagome is eager to start sharing with her daughter the Christmas traditions she used to do with her mother. She only hopes Moroha would like to be as involved as Kagome wants her to be. Inuyasha is helping in his own way. 
Family Traditions (InuKag; SessKagu; MirSan; G; complete) by @heynikkiyousofine
Moroha's favorite holiday.
Helpless When She Smiles (SessKag; E; complete) by @sereia1313
Her smile had affected him from the beginning, though Sesshoumaru never truly wondered why. Until they crossed paths again.
Magic (InuKag; T; complete) by @lavendertwilight89
Kagome is put in an awkward position when her five-year asks in Santa is real.
A Midnight Gift (InuKag, MirSan; G; complete) by @eternalnight8806-3
Modern AU Christmas themed fluff.
Midnight Kiss (SessKag; M; complete)  by @mynightshining
Only ten minutes to midnight and a new year would start. Only ten more minutes then she could drag herself to her empty, cold, and companionless bed. Kagome completely resigned herself to living out the rest of her life single and hopelessly in love with the one person who would never reciprocate.
Mistletoe (MirSan; G; complete) by ceruleangrace (Ao3)
On Christmas Eve, Sango is still getting used to all the traditions of the new holiday Kagome has brought from the future.
Sneakin’ a Kiss (InuKag; M; complete) by @clearwillow/BrigidtheFae (Ao3)
Christmas traditions take a wild turn for Kagome when Inuyasha's youkai decides to take matters into his own hands. A short little fic inspired by a secret santa gift for arcprz by nartista in the IYFF Book Club Secret Santa Exchange
The Things That Couples Do (InuKag; T; complete) by @fawn-eyed-girl
Inuyasha is really annoyed at the thing Kagome wants him to wear from her time. Why does he have to wear a stupid hat, anyway? It’s ugly, and itches, and looks ridiculous.
But then, Kagome confesses the real reason she wants Inuyasha to wear the hat, and maybe the hat’s not such a bad idea, after all.
Through the Years We All Will Be Together (InuKag; T; complete) by emmyyasha (Ao3)
It's Kagome's first Christmas in the Feudal Era and Inuyasha knows how much she is missing her family. It's up to him to bring a little bit of the holiday cheer that she showed him all those years ago back to her and help her feel just a little more at home.
And he's going to need lots of help to do it.

SIGN UPS DOKUGA HOLIDAY EXCHANGE 2022!!!!
It’s that time of year again: time for the sign-ups for the Dokuga Holiday Exchange! 
I’m sorry it’s late this year, but IRL has been crazy (and not in a good way) so I’ve barely had time to get this post together! But, I can’t let Dokuga Exchange stop after 10 years! So here, we go! 
2 QUICK NOTES:
1. Starting this year Tumblr and Dokuga will be the only place I post reveals. LJ as a platform ia dying, and I think this is best for the long run.
2. You don't have to be a member of Dokuga to sign up! All you need to be is a fan of SessKag as a ship (or a platonic pairing!) It's just called the Dokuga Holiday Exchange because it started there, in the forums nearly a decade ago. For nostalgia purposes, I can't shake that name off, so it's stuck!
To begin: Important Dates of 2022:
October 9th – October 31st: Sign ups for the Exchange
November 1 – The name of your giftee will be sent to you along with the prompt
December 12 – Stories/Art are due by midnight EST UNLESS extension given
December 25 – December 31 - Posting of gifts will begin on the 25th and continue to the 31st until all gifts are posted. This is a tentative schedule and may be expanded if there is a very high turn out.
Guidelines Below the Cut! 
- Please use the following form when signing up:
GUIDELINES!
Dokuga or A03 Username (if applicable):
Tumblr Username (if applicable):
Livejournal Username (if applicable):
Email Address:
Ratings You Are Not Willing To Write/Draw:
Ratings You Do Not Wish To Receive:
Prompts you are requesting in your work:
Are You Willing To Be A Pitch Hitter?:
Age Statement (are you 18+):
Code Word:
- The whole point of this is to be a gift exchange. To get a gift, you must give a gift. If you drop out or disappear, your gift will be given to the group as a whole. Those who disappear without word will be banned from the exchange for one round.
GUIDELINES PART II
- The story/art must be centered around the Sess/Kag pairing. It doesn’t necessarily have to be focused on romance - it can be based on first impressions, friendship, even some sort of hatred. Side pairings are fine, just as long as it focuses on the relationship between Sesshoumaru and Kagome. This is a Dokuga Holiday Exchange, after all!
- Gifted works must be new to the exchange. Sequels to previous works, new chapters to a current story, ‘deleted scenes’ from other stories, or anything related to any of your previous work isn’t allowed.
-The story/art can be any genre, though you should go by the prompts given to you to make your best judgment. If your prompts are vague, do your best to work with them. But please pay attention to what is requested to stay away from. If a platonic relationship is requested, do not give a romantic one. If you have any questions about the prompt requested, you can always ask me for clarification, and I will pass your question or concern on to the appropriate person. Please DO NOT contact your giftee directly as your giftee is not supposed to know who the gift is coming from.
- All ratings are welcome, but if you have a rating that you refuse to write or wouldn’t like to receive, please make note of it whenever you sign up.
-For prompts this year please pick your favorite type of cookie (biscuit): Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Sugar, Shortbread, etc. Your gifter will include that in some form in your gift! 
- When working on your piece, please keep in mind what the recipient wants. If they ask for certain things to be used or not used, please follow them. Usually, there is nothing demanding in the requests; mostly just small things like the type of relationship or universe.
- If you are new to the exchange, please provide a link to a story (in any fandom) that you’ve written that is more than 1500 words. Drabble collections do not count. You can link to a one-shot or even an incomplete epic you’re currently working on, just as long as you can prove that you can meet the word count minimum (which I have lowered to 1,500 words this year because I realize signups opened late!)
- There will be a three strikes policy. I simply do not have the time to go chasing after everyone who signs up for the exchange, therefore there will be a three strikes policy as far as contacts/behavior go. If you ignore/fail to answer any correspondence within one week of sending, you will have a strike against you. Three strikes, you’re gone from the exchange.
- Please add the exchange email ([email protected]) to your contacts so you can avoid anything from us hitting the spam filter.
Explanation of Age Statement:
Again I will be asking for a statement of age (example: ’I am over the age of 18’/’I am under the age of 18’). The purpose of this is to prevent minors from gifting or being gifted with works that are rated MA. The official rule on Dokuga is: ONLY users ages 18 and up may read or post MA rated work, 16+ for rated M. As this exchange was affiliated with Dokuga, I have, as cureent mod of the Exchange, decided to follow the same rules on ratings as are followed at the main site. That being noted, if you falsify your age statement you will be removed from the exchange and receive an email notifying you why you were removed.
- It is your responsibility to have your story beta read before you send it in. We are looking for stories that are in their final polished form, not something that is hot off of the press. I simply do not have the time to beta every story that comes in. If you do not have a regular beta, you can look for someone on the Dokuga Forums, or on the SessKag Discord servers.
- Real life does get in the way sometimes, so if you have to drop for any reason please let me know as soon as you possibly can. I understand that you’ve got other obligations, and am not going to be angry with you should something come up. The code word is sugar. I will be angry, however, if you’re putting things off and finally fess up after your second extension and the posting date is looming. Should you drop, with or without word, the gift prepared for you will be shared for the group as a whole. Stuff happens, I get it! I just ask that you inform me and not ignore me. I get it, and I don’t mind working with you, but I can’t help you out, if you don’t tell me why you may need an extension! 
- Should a story come in that does not meet the requirements, the sole mod, me Kaoruhana reserve the right to reject the piece and ask you to correct it. Ignoring this request is grounds for your removal from the exchange. I'm rumning the event myself and just can't edit anything, so maybe we can all help each other out?
- Stories should be sent to the exchange email, [email protected]. Either attach it as a googledoc, or add it directly into the body of the email. If anything is sent in any other format, you will be asked to send in the preferred formatting. For art, please send/ post it in the body of the email so that I can easily share it!
- Keeping with the above statement, please don’t give out the name of who you are doing a gift for. Blowing the secret ruins the fun!
- No posting of stories elsewhere until after the big reveal on New Year’s Day. The whole point of a secret gift exchange is to keep it a secret. I will let you know when it is clear to post your stories on your own sites.
- As I am running the exchange, I will not be participating.
- When you send your story/art, please include the following header.
Title:
Author/Artist:
Recipient:
Rating:
Summary:
Original Prompts:
To ensure you have read and understood the rules, please send in the code word when you sign up for the exchange.
And as always, you can reach out to me with any questions on
Dokuga
tumblr
My only request is that you give me at least 48 hours to respond to any message, as I run this entire exchange myself, and well, sometimes, it’s a lot!

Coming Home
Gift to the talented @yumanichan for the 2021 Dokuga Holiday Gift Exchange (@dokugaholidayexchange)!
Prompt: Character A is stuck working in coffee shop on Christmas Day and Character B is the lonely soul spending their whole day there.
Coming Home
Summary: Kagome didn't mind working during the Christmas break. Customers were more cheerful, she had free reign over the decorating of the café, and lineups weren't as busy since all the usual patrons were on vacation. She was comfortable in a new city, celebrating a foreign holiday. Until her past came walking in through the door.

Hello! Do you have any recommendations for fics where Sesshomaru spends time/interacts with Kagome while in his dog form? Have a lovely day mods!
Thank you for the ask, Anon, and sorry for the wait!
Some of these fics are in the category of Sesshoumaru is cursed/stuck in the form of a dog. Not sure if that’s what you were really looking for but I decided to include them anyway.
Thank you so much for everyone on Discord who shared their recs and helped make this list! 💖💖

@missidiotmakka
AN: Ayy last prompt! Time for me to get back to other stuff I have planned lolol thanks for joining me on this little distraction. Thanks to @shastuhh​ for the sword name idea!
(I know Satsuki is more of a girl's name but it can be used for a boy. I don't think Sesskag would care too much about particulars like that anyways lol)
52: kiss on the ankle
---
The sound of metal meeting metal rang out harshly, the blades singing.
Kagome grit her teeth, staring into smiling golden eyes. Easing back, she wrenched her sword away and swung for his left side, grunting when he parried with a smooth sweep of his arm. Seeing an opening- Kagome ducked in close, ghosting soft lips over his neck.
Sesshoumaru jolted and growled lowly, grabbing her around the waist. "You cannot afford to be distracted," he quietly reprimanded.
Kagome smiled, "mhm and neither can you," she pressed a previously concealed dagger against his side with a little more force.
Golden eyes flashed and darkened, lips lifting to expose a fang. "Good," he muttered.
Kagome preened, giggling and putting her dagger away- content to pull back- until he tugged her in close and scraped hungry teeth down her neck, sucking at the mating mark branding her skin.
Their training sessions usually ended like this. Sesshoumaru was firm and disciplined for the majority of the time but she could always worm in a makeout session or two by the end of it. Kagome bumped his side playfully with the flat of her blade- which had been lovingly named Seinaru Bakuhatsu- or 'Holy Explosion', to link with his Bakusaiga. Before they could get too wrapped up in another round of heavy petting, however, a telltale sound reached their ears.
Kagome and Sesshoumaru broke apart, noticing Inukimi sigh as she walked out onto the wooden porch, carrying a wailing bundle. "When I said I'd be pleased for the gift of grandchildren, that was not an invitation to thrust them upon me every time you require a sparring match."
"It is not as if you attend to them alone," Sesshoumaru snorted dryly as Rin followed after her into the midday light, carrying another, much quieter bundle.
Their babysitters tended to be rotated; Shippo or Kohaku often accompanying Rin from the village. Even Inuyasha had babysat though he only tended to hold Satsuki, claiming their quieter son 'freaked him out.'
Kagome cooed and took the plump weight of Satsuki into her arms, grinning down at the crying boy and sitting down to nurse him. Their eldest barely looked Hanyou- instead resembling a full-blooded youkai. He had a headful of white hair, chubby cheeks, pointed ears, markings and bright golden eyes. A big baby. Pushing him out had been murder.
In comparison, Syuya was far too tiny. It were as though Satsuki had stolen all his nutrients in the womb they'd shared, right down to most traces of youki. Syuya was a quiet little thing, with puppy ears poking out atop his head of white hair. He blinked baby blue eyes up at Sesshoumaru, unimpressed. It was only when Kagome took hold of him did his disgruntled expression change into something resembling warmth. Kagome tried not to dote on him too much and noticed Sesshoumaru trying not to do the same in his own quiet way.
It was difficult, considering it had taken another day to push the little one out after his brother. They'd feared for a long time that he'd been lost to them, a complication in the birthing process making him linger too long.
Feeding the runt of the 'litter' Kagome smiled down at the boy, stroking his thinner hair. Syuya caught her finger and squeezed it with plenty of strength. He'd be fine.
Sesshoumaru held Satsuki, sitting next to her and sighing, sitting their plumpy son against his shoulder and patting his back. "He cries too much," he half-heartedly complained.
"Maybe it's because everyone worries about little Syu-Syu so much that Sat-Sat wants attention too!" Rin giggled, creeping behind Sesshoumaru to make funny faces at Satsuki, who sniffled and watched, ears perking.
Kagome smiled, wiping Syuya's chin when he was finished. "You might be right, Rin."
"Mn, you should nip that in the bud or you'll end up with a similar rivalry to the bigger cretins."
Sesshoumaru's lip lifted into a silent sneer. "Always a pleasure to have you visit, mother- but perhaps you have overstayed your welcome."
"Oh I do not think so," she waved off, smiling sharply. "Your home is so very charming, it would be a waste not to enjoy it to its fullest," walking elegantly away without another word, Inukimi hitched up the edge of her silken robes to hop over some stepping stones in the water, seeking the refuge of a tiny lakehouse further away.
They'd chosen a place further away from the Stronghold. An isolated, idyllic place situated not terribly far from Bokuseno, a tree demon Sesshoumaru was familiar with. Their home had been constructed to overlook a large lake, and trees located on higher ground gave the entire area a secluded feel, their traditional mansion bathed in gentle shadows. They didn't plan to stay there forever, but it was perfect for while the pups were young and Kagome got back on her feet.
It didn't feel like she was being kept a secret, more that Sesshoumaru's protective instincts couldn't handle another scare after Syuya.
Allowing Rin to take Satusuki- which she grunted with and cooed, hurrying over to the far reaches of the garden to go bother Jaken- Sesshoumaru knelt by Kagome's feet. Exchanging small smiles, the miko watched as he lifted tiny Syuya's foot.
Giving his ankle a small kiss, Sesshoumaru tipped his head to observe the boy, who blinked and nestled against Kagome, hiding his face in her locks.
The demon lord hummed. "He prefers you."
Kagome giggled, petting fluffy white hair. "I love all my boys equally- don't fight over me."
"It is your destiny to be fought over, miko."
"Oh hush, he's just latched onto me because I held him for so long after he was born," she hummed, grinning and softening her voice. "Look," she gestured slightly to Syuya, who was peeping out from her nest of dark hair. He wriggled his small legs a little.
Sesshoumaru smiled and obliged, understanding the silent request and kissing his son's ankle again. Syuya squeaked and hid again.
Giggling, Kagome slid an arm over Sesshoumaru's broad shoulders and leaned forward. Bumping and brushing noses with him in a sickenly sweet way that would disturb an onlooker, she smiled.
"We're all okay," she murmured.
Pale lashes lowered, falling shut as their foreheads met. "Hn."
"Maybe we should lay off any funny business for a while though."
Those golden eyes snapped open once more. "Hn?"
"Well, you more than proved that your swimmers are way too strong. They managed to get through our attempts at birth control. Only sure-fire way to ensure no more babies is to have a dry spell."
He opened and closed his mouth, before clicking it shut and exhaling hard through his nostrils. "That was a poor attempt at humour," he grumbled.
"Who says I'm joking?" blue eyes danced.
Sesshoumaru tsked, curling long fingers through her dark strands and wrapping them around his digits, lifting them to his lips. "Go ahead and try. You could not last long- your appetite is larger than mine."
Kagome grinned impishly, flashing white teeth at him. "Yeah, you're right," her attention fell back to the slumbering pup in her arms. "But I don't want to rush into any more of these little guys after how quickly they came along."
"Hn, we will find a way to have more...'funny business' with that threat reduced," he teased, tilting up her chin and ghosting his lips over her jaw. "Do not worry, miko. Nothing could keep me from massaging your ego for long."
Smiling a little gentler, Kagome nestled herself against him. "Mn, fancy taking the flying carriage out for a spin once we do?" she murmured, lips grazing his ear.
Exchanging a smile with her that bespoke of an eagerness for things to come, he leaned in to share a single kiss that was chaste in comparison. Mokomoko curled around them, Sesshoumaru letting out a deep rumble. "Of course," he purred in a velvety tone.
"Okay," Kagome hummed, grazing teasing lips over his ear before abruptly standing and walking away to go save Jaken from Rin and Satsuki's terror. Flashing Sesshoumaru with another less than innocent smile that elicited a pleasant shudder from her mate, she left him with some parting words;
"Wear the earrings too."

Under the Covers
My gift to @hallow777 for the Winter Gift Exchange! Who can say no to the "there was only one bed" trope?
Read it on Ao3, Dokuga, and FFnet.
Summary: Kagome encounters a problem after stopping overnight in a village.
Sneak Peek
"Is the room not to your liking?"
She pointed to the bed in the next room—the only bed.
Sesshoumaru gave her a bland look. "It is a bed. You have slept on less."
"There's only one!" She knew Jaken had done it on purpose, assuming that Sesshoumaru would either claim for himself or that her sensitive female nature, which the little toad had mentioned several times, would force her from the room, and possibly Sesshoumaru's company.
She'd show him.
"I do not see the issue," the daiyoukai said, looking around the room. "If you require extra blankets, the innkeeper will surely—"
"You can have the left side," she said, stomping into the room before dropping her pack at the foot of the bed.
"The left of what?"
Kagome felt her face flush as she waved towards the bed. "I don't move around much, so it should be fine as long as we stay at either end. And maybe we can bunch up the blanket in a line down the middle."
"You wish to share?"
"We don't have much choice. There's only one, and we both need sleep." She avoided his gaze, heading back towards the door. "I'm going to bathe. Make yourself comfortable."
"Do as you please," came his soft reply.

See if there are any patterns.
Choose your favorite opening lines.
Then tag 10 authors!
Tumblr media
I cheated a little bit with this one; I left out my original writing and focused on just the fics because it was much easier to just navigate my AO3 page lol
Anyway, here they are, from latest to oldest. My personal Top 3 lines are boldened.
Death was something Sesshoumaru had always been familiar with. (The Broken and the Lost, SessKag)
For the first time in his life, Sesshoumaru could truly appreciate the wisdom of the saying better late than never. (Better Late Than Never, SessKag)
It was snowing. (A Lucky Slip, SessKag)
The winter had been a mild one – until mid-December. (Winter Warmth, IchiRuki)
James’ gaze wanders over the rows and rows of Christmas trees. (Christmas Tree, Jily)
Lily isn't sure why "Father Christmas" is here anyway – Dudley is barely six months old; he has no idea what's happening and will remember none of this. (Kissing Father Christmas, Jily)
Funnily enough, it all starts with Houjou. (The Holiday, SessKag)
Kagome had been dreaming of her happily ever after with Inuyasha for so long and now she was feeling cheated. (Otsukimi, SessKag)
All children had some area of interest they seemed fixated upon: fire trucks or dogs, princesses or dinosaurs. (For You in Your Full Bloom, SessKag)
Sesshoumaru held his breath. (Future, SessKag)
A whole year had passed, and somehow, once again, Lily found herself clinging onto the side of an ice rink, holding onto dear life. (Next Year, Jily)
Sesshoumaru growled as he dipped the clawed tip of his finger into the bowl to try and fish out a bit of an eggshell. (The Christmas Cake Tradition, SessKag)
A trip to Hokkaidou had been a winter tradition for Sesshoumaru’s family for many years. (A Letter to Santa, SessKag)
With two cracks – lost amidst shouts, cries, crashes and curses and counter-curses, jinxes and spells whizzing madly about the dark street – James Potter and Lily Evans Apparate into chaos. (Only Just Beginning, Jily)
Lily shifted in her seat, slanted a glance at James. (I Really Can't Stay..., Jily)
Lily was huddled up in the corner of the small sofa, a quill tucked behind her ear. (Decking the Halls, Jily)
When Sirius suggested they all do a secret Santa gift exchange, Lily had been super excited. (The Unexpected Gift, Jily)
Writing the incident report was the last thing Rukia wanted to be doing right now. (Protocol, IchiRuki)
Kagome had been Inuyasha's best friend since middle school. (What Wouldn't I Do For You, SessKag)
It was in the midst of the most mundane of tasks when Sesshoumaru suddenly realised something highly out of ordinary. (Operation Lost Smile, SessKag)
It’s hard to see patterns in my own writing, espcially when you cover various fandoms and genres. And they all do the job they’re meant to -- setting the scene.
Most of the time I seem to start off with the POV character, which isn’t a big surprise. I think with my favourite lines especially they manage to establish the mood pretty well, I think; you can see what type of fic it’s going to be straight away.
I seem to also enjoy torturing Sesshoumaru, which also is no surprise. Though I am a bit surprised at there being so many Sess POV fics here. With Jily I definitely favor Lily’s POV.
Also, much as I enjoy writing dialogue, I don’t seem to really start a fic with it.
I feel like I’ve made a bit more effort with my longer one shots? Especially the ones I’ve written as gift fics. A lot of these were prompt drabbles, which were written pretty quickly and in a spur of the moment way, I didn’t dwell on them much. (Not that I really ever do. Editing? Never heard of her.) Still, I think in general I tend to pay more attention to the ending line than the opening line.
Tagging: @jafndaegur​, @stormielikeweather​, @elevenharbor​, @gryffindormischief​, @midnightelite​, @magic-girl-in-a-muggle-world​ and whoever else wants to try! No pressure tho! 💖
