Inspiration: “Everyday Love 4 – #2, ‘Downpour’” © 2008 Youkai Yume
Based upon: [livejournal.com profile] dokuga_contest Drabble #27 | Spare (3rd Place)

Ah, the fic muses nibbling off fanart...just where they want to be!

I was really excited to see the prompt go up at [livejournal.com profile] ebony_silks this week. [livejournal.com profile] quirkysmuse decided to do an "image challenge", where she posted a piece of fanart for us to write from. Lucky for me, she chose one of Youkai Yume's "Everyday Love" pieces, which consist of six doodles of Sess/Kag in various fluffy/lovey situations.

This also tapped an inspiration for the [livejournal.com profile] dokuga_contest theme, which was "spare." Once I saw the fanart, I couldn't get the second picture out of my mind, and it seemed like a good one to write a very short piece from. Hence, this story was born.

I can't say I'm completely happy with it, but it somehow managed to place in the drabble contest. I don't like the abrupt turn I had to take with the last paragraph, as I feel its a little too OOC for Sesshoumaru to be so...eager? Willing? Eh, I'm not sure, but I was definitely constrained by the word limit. The other winning fics are heads and tails above this one, for sure.

In case you're wondering, I *have* submitted a fic for the [livejournal.com profile] ebony_silks contest, inspired by the fourth picture, "Pillow Fort" - LOL, it was a chance to indulge my fluffy smutty muse again. The reason I haven't posted notes for it yet is because its locked at the comm, and I don't like to post links until they are available for general perusal. But said notes will be forthcoming, because I had a ton of fun writing that fic! ;)
