Hello! I'm forthright, and I dabble and drabble my way through many different pairings in the Inuyasha fandom. Since one of those is Sesshoumaru & Kagome, I am here to share

**OCTOBER 2018 UPDATE**
I am alive, active, and updating my unfinished stories a little at a time. The first two books in my original series have released. I hope you'll pick up Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox (Amaranthine Saga, #1) and Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal (Amaranthine Saga, #2), which are available in both print and digital formats. The first short story in my Songs of the Amaranthine collection is now available for pre-order. Please follow me at ForthWrites.com, the new hub of my online existence. ::twinkle::

In the aftermath of the Final Battle, the victors lick their wounds and look ahead. However, a misspent wish on the Shikon-no-Tama changes minds, hearts, fates… and colors. SK. Canon Divergence. [Hurt/Comfort, Romance]

Clumsy COMPLETE
AU. She was the most sought-after demoness at court, but no suitor could conquer her. He was only trying to feed his family when his stray arrow felled a mythical beast. A kind-hearted man. A fierce lady. A romance told in bits and pieces during Dokuga Drabble/Drawble Nights. Genderbent SK.

Lord Charming COMPLETE
CU. More than Sesshoumaru’s pride took a blow when he lost his arm. He’s in a delicate position... and desperate enough to seek the advice of a self-proclaimed expert. A clumsy romantic adventure told in 100-word snippets.  Second Place 'Best Portrayal of Sesshoumaru' for 1st Quarter 2011 at Dokuga.

When You Wish Upon a Shard ONGOING
CU. In this canon divergence, the last shard of the Shikon no Tama turns up in a *much* more interesting place, and only one person has the heart to retrieve it.  A small story in small chapters. First Place 'Best Portrayal of Kagome' for 1st Quarter 2011 at Dokuga.

Unspoiled COMPLETE
CU. Something goes awry during a trip through the Well, and Kagome is stranded in the distant past, where she encounters a familiar face. When a very young Sesshoumaru decides to keep her, the consequences ripple through time. A story told through a series of drabbles and oneshots. This is headed towards romance, but it's taking the scenic route.
First Place 'Best Portrayal of Kagome' for 3rd Quarter 2009 at Dokuga. First Place 'Best Canon' and Second Place 'Best Portrayal of Sesshoumaru' for 4th Quarter 2009 at Dokuga. First Place for both 'Best Portrayal of Sesshoumaru' and 'Best Action/Adventure' for 1st Quarter 2010 at Dokuga. First Place for 'Best Drabble' for Hoppy, Croppy, Poppy, 2nd Quarter 2010 at Dokuga. First Place 'Best Portrayal of Kagome' for 3rd Quarter 2010 at Dokuga. First Place 'Best Portrayal of Sesshoumaru' and 'Best Canon' for 1st Quarter 2011.

The Bargain PREQUEL
CU. This oneshot is a prequel to Unspoiled. Summary: Lessons learned in childhood last a lifetime. The things that made the biggest impressions on a very young Sesshoumaru were his father... his teacher... and an egg. LINK: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4649397/1/

Imperceptible COMPLETE [on FanFiction.net]
CU. A story, though a bit of an unconventional one. Told through a series of drabbles and oneshots, Imperceptible traces the progress of trust between Sesshoumaru & Kagome. Second Place 'Best Canon' and Second Place 'Best Portrayal of Sesshoumaru' for 2nd Quarter 2008 at Dokuga. Third Place 'Best Canon' for 3rd Quarter 2008 at Dokuga.

Impeccable COMPLETE
AU. Kagome is stunned to learn that she's inherited a sizable fortune, a Japanese estate, and an indentured youkai. She's an unlikely heiress, and Sesshoumaru is the perfect butler. This is a fun little romance that is carried out through a series of 'perfect' drabbles, so most chapters are just 100 words long. Crazy? Probably. ::cheerful shrug:: Chapters follow prompts from the Live Journal community 100colors; if you want to see them, they're on my LJ. First Place 'Best Drabble/Drabble Collection' for 2nd Quarter (2.0) 2009 at Dokuga. Second Place 'Best Romance' for 3rd Quarter 2009 at Dokuga.

Clutter COMPLETE
AU.  Mrs. Higurashi decides to help her daughter put her life together; enter Sesshoumaru, professional organizer extraordinaire.

Troved - AU. Everyone knows that a hanyou comes from the union of a human and a youkai. In this case, the union of a human and youkai is brought about by a hanyou. Written for Anglowritten's Valentine's Day Gift Challenge. First Place 'Best Oneshot' for 1st Quarter 2010 at Dokuga

Counting the Hours UPDATES OCCASIONALLY
AU. Christmas is supposed to be spent with dear ones, but when Inuyasha calls in a favor, Kagome sacrifices her holiday in order to help him fulfill an annual familial obligation. Missed flights, misunderstandings, and mistletoe conspire to bring two strangers together. SK.

DRABBLES
Perceptible is a collection of random drabbles written for various contest communities or challenges.
Aloft - Sesshoumaru takes Kagome into the skies. Very WAFF.
Wolf Whistles - She always went out of her way to pass that particular construction site. CU, Modern Era.
First Place 'Best Drabble' winner for 2nd Quarter 2008 at Dokuga.
- An Indecent Number - Kagome is in labor, and nobody will listen to what she's been trying to say. Humorous. CU, Modern Era.
Minstrel - She'd been so sad since the well closed, but Souta suspected he'd found just the thing to cheer her up. A beginning of sorts. CU, Modern Era.
- How Do You Do? - A song!fic courtesy of Mother Goose. Kagome realizes that she recognizes Sesshoumaru.
- In Padua - a miniature comedy of Shakespearean proportions. Sesshoumaru uses his wits and well-placed words to woo the waspish Kagome.
- Nosebleed - the rise and fall of the Killing Perfection. Plenty of doubling, not enough entendre.

Imperceptible was my first Forthright. I've been hooked ever since and am continually impressed by your twinkling prose.

I am curious about one story: Counting the Hours. It's been years and I was wondering if you were going to update this year or if the story is done. It is one of my very favorites just as it is already

Thank you for all of your marvelous work!

I have loved your stories since I read unspoiled so long ago. And I have loved every story after that. You are amazing and I look forward to reading the finished versions of the others. Thank you so much for right such amazing awesomenessness,. When I grow up and publish my stories I hope my writing captivates my readers and brings them into a world where the words make the scene just as your books do for me. I love your writing,.

Just wanted to say thanks for all your works, you're simply my favorite author!! No one has ever involved me so much emotionally with drabbles. Unspoiled was amazing, and Lord Charming is another feat! Keep up the good work, I'll be waiting for more updates in the future
