ebony_silks Week 83 | Image Challenge (2nd Place)
Inspiration: “Everyday Love 4 – #4, ‘Pillow Fort’” © 2008 Youkai Yume
Talk about a dangerous combination... fluffy smutty muse + syrupy inspiration song + absolutely adorable fanart = my attempt a humorous fluff?
This is the second half of the infamous image challenge, the first part of which was tackled in adokuga_contest prompt a few weeks ago. I actually wrote this oneshot first, but due to the contest being held over (and this entry being locked to the comm due to its rating), its being posted second.
This is...a bit ridiculous, but I love it anyway, LOL. It was rather difficult to come up with something that would capture all aspects of the inspiration image - the name (Pillow Fort), the comments Youkai Yume received on the piece ("PILLOW SEX!!"), the characters' expressions, and the very fact that Sesshoumaru, the Ice Lord himself, is surrounded by a big pile of fluffy pillows. Combine this with an earworm for U2's "The Sweetest Thing", and this fic was born.
It was definitely fun to write, and I'm glad it had such a nice response at the community. There are few fics out there which have these two already married, but I thought it would be an interesting situation to run with. I picture this as being somewhere near the beginning of their marriage, before constant world travel and shifting of households could wear them down. The imagery I evoke for Switzerland is straight off a friend's pictures and postcards - she can see the Alps from her balcony, and boy am I jealous!!
Here, I've tagged Kagome as a pillow enthusiast, who enjoys a secret indulgence for building pillow forts whenever she has the chance. Her amusement at boxing her husband in while doing so is hopefully reflective of her expression in the picture, whereas his long-suffering patience comes into play a bit later in the piece.
I readily admit that comedy is my weakness, but hopefully people find it at least a little bit humorous. Everyone seems to enjoy it when the smutty fluffy muse comes out to play, but I fear this is all the action said muse is going to see for awhile, if the next few chapters for the Big Fics (Fleeting, Nihon Idol) are any indication.
If you've never tried it, I highly recommend attempting to use a piece of fanart as an inspiration for a fic, related to the artist's original intention or not. It's a different sort of challenge, but a good one, as you already have at least one image you can share with the reader. I love Youkai Yume's work, and maybe will find more inspiration in her pieces, sketches or no :)
