CLAIMING KIN
By Salome (Sensei) and Talon (TalonSage)
Warning: Shouta. Inucest. Smut. Kinks of many varieties, including WAFF. Don’t read it if you don’t want to. Introduction: This ongoing chapter story offers a pre-canon, AU arc featuring the relationship between a young adult Sesshoumaru and his bastard hanyou brother (18+ in youkai years though he doesn't look it). In this world, Sesshoumaru’s father (whom we call Lord Tai) is alive and the unquestioned Lord of the Western Lands. He is grooming his firstborn Sesshoumaru for future leadership and has done so since he was a child (through lessons, punishments, and repeated mounting - they're dogs, after all). He gives the Inuyasha (a generic name for all of his bastard children, meaning, as it does, merely “dog demon”) to Sesshoumaru (whom the child calls Oniisama and eventually just Onii) as a test, a lesson, and an opportunity for growth. The child Tai chooses (an only child produced with one of the Lord’s many human and youkai concubines, Izayoi) is the one who has inherited the strongest genetics, yet he is still a bastard and hanyou and has faced the predictable misuse of his older half-siblings and is necessarily thus sexually precocious. The pup’s mother has named him “Kin” (meaning gold, for his eyes and preciousness to her). In addition to his hanyou identity, the pup also has a youkai side and a human side, as in canon. We write these stories together, alternating paragraphs between us and between characters. Salome writes Sesshoumaru; Talon writes Kin. And we divide many other characters according to who wishes to write them or who simply grabs one and prompts the other to reply. The arc we are posting as chapters within this story proceed from the day Kin is presented to Sesshoumaru and include flashbacks, side journeys into the minds and lives of important characters (e.g. Kin’s mother, Tai, etc.), days-in-the-life slices with Sesshoumaru and Kin, introspective pieces, and often-lemony adventures with other recurring characters, both adapted from canon (e.g. Lady Ambassador Kagura, slavegirl Rin, Prince Kouga) and original (wetnurse Kini, slavepup Teru), and other tidbits (such as introducing Sesshoumaru's mother and Tai's mate, whom we call Karesonomaru or Kare). Together, we are working and playing to build a kinky wonderful world full of love and WAFF that we hope our readers will enjoy.

NOTES: 1. Sesshoumaru's angsty teen years with Papa/Tai can be found in bitesized emo nuggets in the drabble collection
My Lord Father here at AFF under this account.
2. For more fabulous backstory teen fun between Sesshoumaru and Prince Kouga (as mentioned in CLAIMING KIN in Chapter 30), see
Sesshoumaru and Kouga: The Teen Years here at AFF under this account.
3. We have also begun writing in a future where Kin is a little older and takes his first trip alone outside the castle, where he encounters Miroku (a loner nicknamed "Hetchi" [like Ecchi]). We will post these in their own story, soon after Chapter 47 goes up.
Please keep reviewing - we love feedback!
