”You can just call me Jake,” their teacher said the first time they met. “The title’s ridiculous and we all know it.“ ”Yes, sir,” Berenson’s new students chorused obediently (Yes, Prince Jake.) (Ax called him prince from the very beginning - it was respect, it was allegiance, but do you think maybe it was also something else? A reminder, that they follow him, he holds their lives in his choices, and he is not - can never be - one of them. He knows this by the end; Ax knows it in the beginning.)

Jake would have been very unremarkable, if he hadn’t walked through that construction site, if the Yeerk expansion had not come to Earth in his lifetime.  His family is well off and he’s not much of a follower (good leaders make poor lackeys, there’s a reason that there’s an officer track), so he wouldn’t have been likely to go into the military, and he wouldn’t have thought much about public service, I think–he’s not the type to want to play detective.  He might have volunteered as a firefighter, a way for him to turn his big frame and athletic experience into a real world task, but he wouldn’t have worked as one full-time.  

He would have gone to college and gotten a degree, maybe in history (if he ever even realized that he loved history, without a war to prepare for), maybe in whatever seemed reasonable.  Business, perhaps.  He would have tried out for a few basketball teams, but probably never would have done particularly well on them.  He would have graduated middle-of-the-road, not terrible, but not great, and gotten a job, and married, and maybe had children.  He would have been a great father, but nothing special in the rest of his life, except.

Except.

The handful of times when something went wrong–then people would wonder how he learned his steadiness, where he got his level head, whether he had always been so confident in command.

Then the crisis would pass, and Jake Berenson would go back to his comfortable, quiet life.

He would have lived an unremarkable life, but he might have been happy. 

Instead, when he tells people to call him Jake, they agree and nod and call him sir, sir, sir.

OMg so I didn't know you wrote Inuyasha fanfic and your 'Growth' caught my eyes cause of the pairing you listed for it and I read it on Dokuga and loved it! Kagome and Sesshomaru does sound better than Kagome and Inuyahsa. I can't belive I never thought of it before. Hope to see more for it soon in the meantime you got any fic recs for the pairing?

Do I have a list for you! ^-^

Unspoiled by forthright

Rated T:

Something goes awry during a trip through the Well, and Kagome is stranded in the distant past where she encounters a familiar face. When a very young Sesshomaru decides to keep her, the consequences ripple through time.

I followed this story from the day it started, to the day it ended. It was always a treat and it is a work of art. The best Kag/Sessh in my opinion and it made me want to write my own fics for the pairing. Anything by forthright is good. This is my absolute #1 Kag/Sessh fic.

I suggest forthright’s ‘Troved’ as well. It’s adorable with a widdle Inuyasha and is set in present time.

Kagome’s Trial by firevixen73

Rated T:

Kagome has a problem, a very big problem. Inuyasha would kill her if he knew, hell, Sesshomaru would help. Really what could she say to them? ‘Your fathers ghost is stalking me, trying to make me save Sesshomaru’s life’…that’s not going to go over well.

This is my #2 fav Kag/Sessh fic! It sat unfinished for years because another writer on FFN was stealing the chapters and wouldn’t delete, nor would the site handle it. So firevixen73 decided to stop updating until the story was removed. And many of us might have practically burned the thief at the stake for years until she fessed up and deleted entirely, feeling liek the piece of shit she was.

The story is being updated now and it is still perfection.

A Demon Lord’s Cry by Kagome Yuki Niwa

Rated T:

His howls haunted his castle and with nothing to do, his subjects call upon Kagome to subdue their lord. Rin has died and her death causes Sesshomaru to loose himself to his beast. While subduing the Western Lord, Kagome inadvertently binds herself to the taiyoukai, making herself Lady of the West, and suffers all the perks and downsides of being human royalty in a demonic court.

Very intense and you need to pay careful attention to everything. Also, feels from Rin passing away.

Midnight Meets Moonlight by Mujitsu

Rated M:

Kagome meets a present day Sesshoumaru and goes back to the Sengoku Jidai, only to meet the formidable TaiYoukai there.

I just really love this one. All the feels.

The Flower Girl by Kanna37

Rated T:

The story of how one tiny child led a human-hating youkai Lord and a pure-hearted miko to love - all through the medium of her favorite thing… flowers.

Rin is effin adorable and she helps bring them together.

Vying For Dominance by ShadowsWeaver1

Rated M:

Woken from a dream of heated passion and coursing desires, Kagome finds herself caught up in an ancient game of blood and lust. She must fight or she will die, vying for dominance and the rights to take her mate.

This one gets deep in various ways. Kagome being kind and a badass as well.

He Must Be Breeding by ChaoticReverie

Rated M:

Sesshomaru requires the perfect female to bear his heir, and Kagome… well, she doesn’t know how she gets herself into these messes.

Kagome is awesome in this one. There is humor.

These should be enough to start you off. Some are relatively long so it will take some time. Come back if you’re interested in more. ^-^

civilian tim au where he ends up being close-ish friends with the waynes (being one of the few non-corrupt rich folk) but every conversation ends up with him Desperately trying not to let them know that he knows. like / socialite: oh, cass darling! how'd you break your arm? // cass: skiing. // tim, who knows Damn well poison ivy broke batgirl's arm last night bc He Was There: haha what a life you live cass anyways-

KFJFJDKDHDHDJ

AU where Tim has known who the Batfam are the whole goddamn time and pretends all his life not to know.

And the family all love Tim and will only go to the galas and shit if he’s there because he’s Nice and Sincere and seems to always give good advice as an observant third party. And if they ever need a favor or whatever from him he’s all “No problem!” Doesn’t ask too many questions. Gives them the benefit of the doubt. Just a true friend. One time Cass said “cause a scene” and Tim didn’t even ask why, he just comically tripped and knocked over the nearest ten foot ice sculpture.

So of course the batfam all secretly want him to know the truth. Like, yeah. It’s against the rules but Tim is their friend! He deserves the truth! He’s so trusting and honest with them and it makes them feel so guilty. Like everytime someone cancels lunch plans w/ him cuz of crime, he’s always so cool and understanding?? And they all feel so bad lying over and over to poor Tim who just naively believes them

So then individually all the batfam have the idea to “accidentally” let it slip who they really are.

One time Dick got “caught” wearing his Nightwing outfit and Tim was just like “Holy shit! Nice outfit! Way better than my Halloween costume” “Halloween? Tim, it’s August.” “Right? So cool that you’re into it enough you’d plan so far ahead” “uh. Yeah. Okay. Halloween. Sure”

Damian is at a gala when he curses and walks off to the bathroom, dragging Tim along with him, telling him he needs help resowing his stitches

Damian’s shoulder has a bite mark taken out of it courtesy of killer croc. Damian tries to explain, come clean about why he has this horrible wound,

“Drake. I’m sure you must be wondering why I have-”

“Oh, no. No need to explain. I know you love animals. And if you happened to break into the Gotham zoo to try and free the alligators and accidentally got bitten? Well, I’m sure Bruce doesn’t need to know”

“…yes. that is… exactly what happened. Truly, Drake, your detective skills are adequate. Even impressive”

“Don’t go all sappy on me here, Damian”

“-tt-”

Just finished hamlet & had to share THIS

AU where instead of trying to cure her infertility Yennefer just goes around saving random people’s lives and invoking the law of surprise bcos she figures sooner or later it’ll net her a baby. she hasn’t got one yet but she has amassed about 2 dozen dogs so she’s doing pretty well for herself.

obsessed with the truly vast and desperately lost sadness that inhabits within logan. no one will look him in the eye, no one will level with him, no one will show themselves to him, he insists and insists and demands for a shred of human connection because he is a living dead man who doesn't know he has died. and he has died because he no longer can accept the love he craves even when it is offered to him: he is a starving man but his stomach has long ago shrivelled up and been excised, he sewed his mouth shut and doesn't even remember it. he is ostracized in his own empire, he is exiled from humanity, he has turned himself into a thing that kills everything it touches and then begs to be touched. midas king coded !!!!!
