You'd probably enjoy this series - its the only other one I can think of off the top of my head that pits Inuyasha in a good light, right from the start.

I'm... actually reading it now, and really enjoying it -_-;;
*shakes fist at you* Darn you!
LOL

I suppose that author gets points for not going the usual evil/insane/abusive route but yes, at some point you have to wonder when you're still writing fanfiction, you know? (And I'm very much aware the same question can be asked of my own fic.)

I wouldn't ask that of your fic, because you tend to still acknowledge the other characters, ya know? This was one of those AUs where each character had totally different backgrounds, totally different characterizations... it was so *not* a fanfiction, it was an original piece with characters that looked similar.
