I want to know what your favorite COMPLETED Sess/Kag fanfic is that has the BEST Sesshomaru portrayal.

Umm, that's so tough! But taking all the totally awesome not-yet-completed fanfics out of the running helps, a little. How about "Cultural Differences" by ML Monty (rated MA). It's a really long AU, tightly plotted yet really, super-strong on characterization as well. That story has a version of Lord Sesshomaru who, though very alternate-universe, is also very true to the canon character. It's here on Dokuga, and there might be some newer readers who missed out on that one, it's an oldy-but-goodie. I mean greatie.

Oh- there's a few I can think of. I honestly don't have one: I have three that I go back to over and over again. They are all rated MA and in no particular order are:
Birth by cutebaby
Temporal Sequence by Chaos-and-Serenity
and Dancing with Scissors by piratequeen0405

My all-time favorite that I suggest every time a request for our favorites is made:

Stardust by lady battousai RATED M (the one-shot isn't but the collection it is in is)

It has to be only one? Hard... Well, I'll put three. Please, don't be mad.

Blood Stained by Madison (Rated MA)
dokuga.com/fanfiction/story/2964/1

Twisted Hearts by Eternal fire1 (Rated M - AU)

Tears of the Fallen by ShadowsWeaver1 (Rated T/R) EDIT BY WICCAN - This story would be rated MA on Dokuga proper

This story is the reason I READ sess/kag pairings. The absolute BEST! an oldie but a goodie

Tales From the House of the Moon by Resmiranda
www.dokuga.com/spark/story/244/1

EDIT BY WICCAN: This story is rated MA, no YIMs!!

Yellow Brick Road by emmaren
www.dokuga.com/fanfiction/story/45/1

Rated MA so no YIMs!

One of the most creative, brilliant but twisted takes
on this pairing I have had the pleasure of reading.

www.dokuga.com/spark/story/7334/1. A sentinels mother by demonlordlover2. Its MA and totally amazing.

www.dokuga.com/spark/story/2865/1. As death gives life by rinsenternalsoul. Also MA. Another i go back to and re-read allllll the time

www.dokuga.com/fanfiction/story/2002/1. Misconceptions and misunderstandings by time on my hand. MA

www.dokuga.com/spark/story/6111/1. Utopia. By inumaru-rapture. MA

www.dokuga.com/fanfiction/story/8100/1. Trick of fate by PristineUngift. MA and fairly new


Ive got more but these are some of my absolute favs that now im going to go back and re-read them.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I know I had some pretty specific criteria but I'm totally looking forward to going through all of these!

Darnit! Cathyrin beat me to it! I was gonna rant and rave about "A Sentinel Mother."

I can't count how many times I've read that story!

But, I have another one-

A Question About Honor
www.dokuga.com/spark/story/3594/1

Definitely MA/R, but it's so good!

Also, "An Elves' Child"
www.fanfiction.net/s/1474802/1/An_Elves_Child

Rated T.

It is impossible for me to choose just one. It was even difficult to narrow it down to these because there are so many excellent stories. I was going to include A Sentinel Mother, Cultural Differences, and Blood Stained, but I see they are already listed.
