#inuparents day

[superpixie42]

Hello Hello Lovelies,

I know my AO3 has been a little ghost town -y (life, am I right?) but I'm super excited to have something (dare I risk jinxing it and say on time) to share for our @inuparentsday celebration next week! I originally had a very... elaborate... Plan with the help of @brain-rot-hour and her magnificent drawing skills but life said nope... I'm still hoping to finish that piece sooner rather than later, but I hope this more straight forward piece inspired by Episode 89 "Nursing Battle of the Rival Lovers" goes over well, too.

Working Title: Izayoi vs Inuyasha and the Cold Medicine Show Down

Summary: Izayoi faced a steep learning curve when it came to baby hanyou care; but by the time her son was five she felt like maybe she finally had a handle on this mothering gig. That is, until one particularly snowy New Moon when Inuyasha turns his very human cold, wet, running nose up to his medicine claiming he doesn't want or need it, and even though he can't smell it he's sure it was too gross to bear. But Izayoi knows a fever is nothing to take lightly, and dawn is a very long way away. What's a nervous mother to do?

Celebrate the Fourth Annual InuParents Day on Tuesday January 16th, 2024!

Over the years, you may have noticed the mod's affinity for stars in our announcements, so to mark our fourth anniversary we decided to make them the official 2024 event theme.

In the Western tradition, Canis Major, the great dog, is a constellation in the southern celestial hemisphere. Its brightest star is named Sirius, the dog star.

We look forward to seeing and sharing everyone's fics, art, metas, playlists, moodboards, or whatever else you create for these star-crossed lovers on January 16th using the @inuparentsday feed and the #how to make a hanyou and #inuparentsday 2024 tags.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to any of the mods.

Best wishes,

@superpixie42 @dawnrider @fawn-eyed-girl and @ruddcatha

For #WIP Wednesday I bring you a snippet of what I'm working on for @inuparentsday 2024! A modern AU with the lovely Izayoi discovering that the house she got for a steal in a great neighborhood was a steal for a reason...

Inspired by art by the delightful @heavenin--hell (Yes, that one.)

Snippet below the cut!

It was a good deal. In this housing market, one couldn’t turn their nose up at a great deal like this. So what if people said the furnace made odd noises. And the water heater growled when it was heating up. And the plumbing tended to clang and bump when the water went through it… Those were nothing when you took the price into account! She would have plenty to do the renovations she wanted to do. Fixing up the garden, painting the walls, eventually replacing the appliances… The neighborhood wasn’t even a “bad” one! Signing the paperwork, she had repeatedly felt like she was getting away with something very sneaky and that – at any point – someone was going to show up and tell her it was a mistake, that they had missed several zeros on the price and could she please come up with the remaining amount. Yet here she was, standing in front of her new front door to her new house in her new neighborhood in a new city. She let out a sigh of happiness as the lock turned with the key and the old door swung open with a creak. “Nothing a little WD-40 can’t fix,” she chirped. As she went through the house to look at it more closely, she started a mental checklist of the things that “just needed a coat of paint” or “a new set of hinges” and “maybe a new sink…” Her cheeriness faded some, but seeing the view from the upstairs sitting room and the balcony beyond it made it all worth it. Perched on one of the elevated neighborhoods that overlooked the main part of the city, she could see the ocean just beyond that. The sun set just beyond the horizon with the water often sparkling in the foreground. It was amazing. It was by far the most beautiful place she had ever lived in her entire life. One of the first things Izayoi did was set up her office in the sitting room. If she was going to continue to afford the mortgage on this house, no matter how small the payments were in comparison with her old house, she would need to make sure she could work. Part of that meant getting someone out to install her internet. Apparently there had never been anything all this time and there would need to be a fresh installation. Izayoi had that in her budget, but finding someone to actually do the work was proving a much greater challenge than she would have expected. “Yes, that’s the address,” she repeated. The operator hung up on her. “That was rude,” she muttered, staring at the receiver in her hand. She dialed the next number and was met with much the same treatment. Six more calls and she was running out of numbers in the yellow pages. Finally, someone at least told her why no one would listen past the address. “Lady, I don’t care if you’re willing to pay extra. That place is haunted and I’m not sending any of my guys in there.” “Wait… Seriously?” “Yea. No one here is gonna take that job. That’s why it’s never had a hookup. The only reason you got phone service is because the lines are on poles for that and it comes in through the roof.” “Please! If the phone lines are in that way, can’t you…” “No. Cable’s gotta go in through the ground and into the basement. City ordinance. So you either deal with dialup, or you get satellite.”

summary: She lives the life of many noble women, loathing her father but obeying him perfectly. Touga is in the room when she accepts Takemaru’s proposal, and he watches the words slip from her mouth as easily as a moan.

rating: M universe: pre-Inuyasha pairing: touga/izayoi

read on Ao3

They’ll never walk in daylight, Touga knows, but for all of his bloodsoaked seasons he still remembers the sun, a different and equal heat to war. Izayoi is his favorite summer so far, will inevitably be gone as soon as he has grown accustomed to her, the curve of her body fitting so well into his, their hair pooling together in silver and black on the blankets, or his furs, or the floor, or the--

He’s a reckless idiot.

She lives the life of many noble women, loathing her father but obeying him perfectly. Touga is in the room when she accepts Takemaru’s proposal, and he watches the words slip from her mouth as easily as a moan. He gives his warm blessing as Guardian of the West, ignoring the heady scent curling towards his nose and she meets his eye. He takes her for the first time that night, silently padding into dark chambers on the rush of the wind, leaving her breathless and bitten beneath his mouth.

“Our days are numbered, dearest,” he whispers another evening, tongue tracing the shell of her ear. Her skin prickles beneath his claws and thick tallow candles burn and drip their wax into puddles on the floor. And from swollen lips, bruised a little on the side, Izayoi announces his end:

“Fill me up, dog.” No gentle, submissive words from her, then, and it sends blood rushing to his groin.

“And you belong to him,” Touga groans as she swings her legs over his, trying and failing to muster a glare. She ignores him, a maddening habit of hers. She is fierce that night, arching her back and grinding her hips relentlessly against his, and he barely manages to pull out and finish on her thighs as sadness creeps into the corners of her eyes.

She isn’t the first willful princess he’s blessed then bedded-- he likes their curious, fever-filled gazes, before their fathers sell them off, before other lesser men douse away the flames in their eyes. But Izayoi is clever, and has a disarming way of maneuvering him into corners from which he could barely stand to extract himself, until one night, he doesn’t.

“It’s nearly been a year,” she says, yanking his sash apart and letting the fabric ripple to the ground. “I suppose we should stop.” She’s baiting him, he knows, but she means it, too-- tying rope around his heart and tugging on it until he relents and keeps her. Later, when she presses down, he comes inside of her -- filling her up is as easy as swiping his claws through the air.

So, he does it again.

He stays away for a week and she nearly slaps him when he returns. Face stoic, belly curling with anxiety, he can’t deny her, now-- she is a girl who loves a daiyokai and is careless enough to chase him. Her enthusiasm for this cursed life makes him want to grin so broadly he barely knows what to do with himself-- I should talk to Totosai--to the horror of her family, he rescinds his blessing. Then steals her away, peals of her laughter ringing through the summer air like bells.

Three months later her scent changes and there is hope here.

Our Special Love

After recently becoming a father for the second time, Toga returns home to Izayoi and Inuyasha but something unexpected is waiting for him.

Read on Ao3.

This was written a couple of months ago for @dawnrider after reading her requests for the Summer Gift-Exchange and since we share the love for Inupapa and Inumama I thought it was perfect!

I hope you like this fluffy thing and I promise I'll work to have something else ready for next Inuparents day 😉💕.

I made this Inuparents story for @inuparentsday event Inuparents day 2024. The story is based on a @len-barboza Inukag comic.

Sitting next to his pregnant wife Izayoi as he look at the belly that hold their child, Toga ask Izayoi, “My love, does it hurt when the baby kick?” Izayoi reply, “Not really, although lately our small one little kicks have more force and happen more often.” Just after she said that, Toga and Izayoi see their baby give a kick, which Toga put his head on her stomach. Toga soon feel his child moving and said to his wife, “Did you feel it, Izayoi? Our little one just got daddy’s cheek!” A bit unwell, Izayoi reply, “Yeah, and... poor mommy’s full bladder.” Toga said to his unborn child, “You are going to be a tough warrior, little pup.”

Hello Hello Hello everyone and happy new year!

2022 has been a struggle bus year when it comes to writing: just too many other things to do and not enough spare brain power. But InuParents Day is coming up on the 16th and that event is my step-baby so I really really want to have something beautiful and polished to present. But I'm needing some help picking A Thing so if you are so inclined please vote on which of the following concepts you think sounds the most interesting (also as much as I love the enthusiasm *these all sound great* isn't what I'm going for, I need a serious kick in the pants and some focus)

+ Florist AU Meet Ugly

+ An alt-canon vignette series like I did for 2021

+ An epistolary style fic inspired by too many episodes of MASH

+ Ghost AU

Inuparents: The big white dog

I made this for @inuparentsday event Inuparents day 2024 and used the theme Canis Major

As she make clothes for her unborn baby and think of her husband, Izayoi noticed that Toga's dog form look like a giant white dog with red eyes which got her thinking, 'If Toga would make his dog form the size of a normal, he could easily blend in my kind better without fear. He even safely play with our child.'

One day I will get around to the Inuparents story I referenced in Domestication but want to flesh out, about fallen noble Izayoi living with her uncle as a cowherd in a village slowly being encroached by demonic wolves until Toga intervenes (after the villagers tried to sacrifice her to him to stop the wolf plague...) and spirits her away in the end.

Making Waves Bragging Rights

Story Title: Making Waves

Fandom: Inuyasha

Link: AO3 | FFN

Summary: Kagome’s school days sucked. Being the odd one out of the group wasn’t something to take pride in, especially when you were mocked for it. All she wants is a friend who has her back. What she gets is chance encounter with someone she never really believed existed.

Warnings: Slow Burn, Friends to Lovers, Childhood Friends, Self Confidence Issues, Mermaid AU, Fluff, Humor

Characters: Higurashi Kagome, Higurashi Kagome’s Family, InuYasha, InuParents and InuKimi, Sesshomaru, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kouga, Eri, Yuka, Ayumi, Ayame

Pairings: Kagome/Inuyasha, Sango/Miroku, Izayoi/Touga/InuKimi

When I Started: 11-25-2019

How I Lost My Shit: This entire fic started because a handful of people on discord told me to go for it even though I had half an idea, and I posted the first chapter as my AU day submission for Inuvember 2019. Got hit with imposter syndrome when people actually started reading it and started to juggle more and more ideas. Side stories happened. I got caught up trying to do everything for everyone and every event and I…couldn’t. It killed my motivation to where an entire year had passed between updates without me realizing it. I forgot why I enjoyed working on it because I was too busy worrying about not being part of the fandom if I didn’t follow the group.

How I Finished My Shit: I was told right at the end of April about the event and I almost didn’t sign up. I had just finished blitzing through another longfic for the past two months and was already drained. But then I looked at the list of what I needed to finish and realized “I might be able to finish this one” and gave it a chance. From right after signing up to the middle of June I was sprinting almost nightly with other writers in my discord server. I didn’t think this fic would actually make me cry, but it did. If it wasn’t certain scenes it was knowing that I had finally finished it.

It’s not the end of this AU, because I’ve still got ideas to write additional oneshots, but there’s something bittersweet about seeing how the last chapter came full circle. It makes me happy.

Birthday Thanks 🥰

Everyone, thank you, so so much for your birthday wishes! It’s been a really rough couple of months here (apologies for slowing down with my posts; things have been...it’s been a lot). Today has been a quiet day, and I’ve so appreciated all the warm wishes and birthday gifts, more than you know.

Here’s a little something to say thank you, below the cut: it’s an Inuparents AU, where Toga, Izayoi, and their friends celebrate Inuyasha’s first birthday. I hope you enjoy! 💖

“Come on, Toga,” Izayoi said, “put Inuyasha in his seat, so I can get the cake!”

Toga grinned, and set their baby, newly one year old, in his high chair, Izayoi bustling about the kitchen, getting the smash cake prepared. 

He couldn’t believe that this was his life, now: he had a wife, and a baby, and, more than anything else, he had love. Toga had been married before, sure, but it had been an arranged marriage, one designed to bring success to both Toga’s family and Inukimi’s, and one that ended in amicable divorce. Toga and Inukimi had one son, Sesshōmaru, who was a teenager, and currently pretending to sulk in the corner of the dining room, although Toga could see his older son occasionally flashing a half-smile at his baby hanyō half-brother, who was currently vibrating his lips and running his hands along the high chair tray. 

“Careful, Ace,” Toga chuckled, gently moving his small son’s clawed hands away from the plastic. “You’re gonna wear some grooves in your tray, and Mama’s not gonna be happy about that.”

“Ma-ma-ma-ma,” gurgled Inuyasha; his tiny puppy ears twitched atop his head at the mention of his mother. 

“He’s so cute, Toga-oji-chan.” Rion, his best friend’s daughter, tickled Inuyasha under the chin, then looked up at Toga and smiled. “When do you think he’ll be old enough for Izayoi-oba-chan to let me babysit?”

“When he’s ten,” Izayoi called from the kitchen, and Rion pouted. 

Toga chuckled; Rion was only eleven, but she was smart and capable, and in a few years, Toga was confident that she’d be an excellent babysitter.

“Maybe we’ll talk to Izayoi about you being a mother’s helper this summer,” he whispered to her. “That would be a good first step for you.”

Rion’s turquoise eyes brightened. “That would be amazing!” she chirped. “Thank you!”

“My daughter charming her way into a part-time job?” Kirinmaru, Toga’s oldest and best friend, came up behind them and wrapped his arm around his daughter’s shoulders. 

“Papa,” pouted Rion, “I just want to squish Inuyasha’s baby cheeks!”

“You’ll have to get through his mother first,” Toga laughed. 

“We’re almost ready!” Izayoi called. “Toga, can you dim the lights?”

Even though it was the middle of the afternoon, and yōkai vision was sharp, even in the dark, Toga obeyed his wife, and shut off the lights in the dining room. He paused, and looked around: at his family, and his friends. At his sons. 

And, at his wife.

Had he ever felt such love, such warmth, such life, all in one room before? Had he ever felt such a strong inclination to love, to honor, to protect?

Izayoi came into the dining room, and set a large, rectangular cake down in front of Inuyasha. Toga knew that  it was yellow cake, covered in vanilla frosting, with round sprinkles, and, set right in the middle, was a large candle: a number one, for Inuyasha’s first birthday. 

His first of many, many birthdays to come, Toga hoped.

Izayoi took a lighter out of her pocket. “Now, Inuyasha,” she lightly chastised their child, who was already grabbing for the cake, “just hold on for a few more minutes, okay? Mama needs to light the candle for you.” 

Toga took Inuyasha’s grabby paws and held them steady while Izayoi lit the candle. “Hold on, Ace,” Toga laughed, “let’s get your candle done and sing ‘Happy Birthday,’ and then you can tear into your cake, okay?” 

“Ace?” Sesshōmaru snorted in his corner, but Toga chose to ignore it, instead keeping his eyes on his hanyō baby, who was now digging his claws into Toga’s fingers. Toga grit his teeth.

“Izayoi?” he asked.

A flick of the lighter, and the candle was lit. “All ready!” Izayoi said brightly, then snapped off the lighter, tucked it back into her pocket, and lightly massaged her baby boy’s ears. Inuyasha cooed, and relaxed, as his eyes caught the candle.

“Ba-ba-ba!” he exclaimed, pointing at it.

“That’s right, honey” Izayoi assured him, “that’s your birthday cake candle!” She looked up at Toga. “Ready?” she asked. 

Toga grinned, and pulled out his phone. “Ready,” he said, and opened his camera app, setting it to take video.

“Okay!” Izayoi said loudly. “It’s time to sing!” She paused, took a breath, and then Toga watched, breathless, as his wife’s clear voice took the lead, the others picking up and filling in, rich and vibrating and celebratory:

Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Inuyasha Happy birthday to you

“Make a wish!” Izayoi trilled, then leaned over, and helped Inuyasha blow out the candle, her face flushed and bright and happy. 

“Can he do it?” Sesshōmaru asked, still grumpy in his corner.

“You bet,” Izayoi beamed. “Okay honey,” she added to Inuyasha, “go ahead and enjoy your cake!”

She took out the candle, then stepped back, Toga still filming. They all watched as Inuyasha stared at the cake for a long, impossibly drawn-out moment, then ran one claw along the icing. He picked up his claw, licked at it, looked down at the cake, and repeated the move a second, a third, a fourth time.

“Father,” Sesshōmaru sighed.

“Hush,” Toga said sharply. “Let him figure it out.”

“So cute,” sighed Rion.

“Come on, baby,” Izayoi encouraged Inuyasha, “I know you’ll love it!”

Inuyasha grunted, and blew some bubbles, and then, took one hand, raised it up high, and brought it down with a smash. Frosting and cake and sprinkles flew everywhere, hitting Izayoi, and covering Toga’s camera. 

“Inuyasha!” Izayoi scolded lightly, but their baby was now digging through the cake with glee, grabbing fistfuls and shoving them in his face. Toga couldn’t help it; he began to laugh, hard, at Izayoi’s consternation, at the tiny twitch of Sesshōmaru’s lips. “Toga!” Izayoi said next, but Toga just tugged his wife to him and planted a soft kiss on her lips.

“You wanted a smash cake for him, love,” he said, affectionately watching as his son ripped apart the cake. “And I think you got your wish.”

“I—I did,” Izayoi laughed, as Inuyasha screeched and hurled a piece of cake across the room, hitting Sesshōmaru square on the cheek. “It’s—it’s exactly what I wanted.”

As Izayoi snuggled into his side, and their friends laughed and snapped pictures of Inuyasha, his face now buried in the cake, Toga knew:

This was family. This was love.

And this was all he ever wanted, or needed.

🥳 💥💖

Hi babes! I’m so happy to see you💕💕

🥳 How are you going to celebrate when you achieve one of your writing goals? Hmmm, I think I will have one of my favorite artists do a commission. I feel like when I’m really proud of something, it’s a way I can show the world. (That, and start on a new fic😂)

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it! At this very moment, I’m excited about a few things, but I don’t have much written down just yet. I’m excited to create my first piece for InuParents Day on Jan. 16, along with some good pieces for your Sugar and Spice event, but also a 30-something and counting multi-chapter royalty au InuKag fic, so there’s lots of things! ☺️

💖 What is your primary writing goal for this year? My main goal is to get all three multi chap fics written and ready to post before my six week trip across Europe, plus a special surprise for next year’s holiday season that I was unable to finish this last year. I also want to be able to do the fandom big events, like InuKag week as well. 😘

Thank you so much for asking me, doll! 💕💕
