Science fiction and fantasy isn’t just a white people thing! I’ve talked about some of these books before, but here’s a new slide show entirely for SFF authors of color. Also, I was only doing one book per author. Lots of these authors have multiple books. And like it says at the end, there’s even more SFF books by authors of color but fitting everything in one post would be an impossible task.

Also, could you please not rec white authors on this post? Even if they’ve written a book starring a person of color. I want this post to be focused around the work of authors of color. 

Links to more info about the books beneath the cut.

The Cullen’s probably forgot about Bella’s human needs once in a while (heck even in BD Edward states “I’m not feeding you enough”). Could we pretty please have some HC’s where the Cullen’s realize Bella might be in blankets cause it’s winter and there’s no heating in their home, or that they forgot to feed her until her stomach growls loudly, or that Bella falls asleep too late so she sleeps in too late too. Just human stuff the Cullen’s would forget now and then.

esme teaching herself to knit so that she can make bella hats and scarves to keep her extra warm her first winter in forks

emmett just constantly handing her snacks, like a cat bringing its owner things it has found

rosalie silently giving bella a bottle of water she’s bought her from the vending machine

when bella looks confused, rosalie just shrugs, “edward said you need to stay hydrated.”

when they’re out at a party, alice announces “bella, will you come to the bathroom with me?”

when they get there bella looks really confused and alice just says, “well people always say that girls go to the bathroom in pairs and i never knew why. um… do you need to use the bathroom?”

jasper keeping tabs on her emotions to see when she starts to get tired and reminding edward that she needs to get some rest

carlisle herding bella directly into the kitchen whenever she comes over so that she can try his newest dish that he’s learnt to cook from the cooking channel 

she always leaves the house with armfuls of tupperware containers of exquisite food to take home to charlie

edward turning the heating up way too high in the car so that she starts to sweat even in the dead of winter

he also wraps her up like a burrito when she sleeps so that his body temperature doesn’t make her cold

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. ^-^
