Summary: Another victim of Kristine Batey's 100word challenge...for me, this is a real challenge. I like to write long. Each chapter its own story.
Why: I'm usually not a big fan of drabbles, but there's something I liked about these. There's a good mix of humor and drama and each drabble is strongly focused on a single central idea. The author claims that she's not very good at the format, but I think she does a really great job with making each drabble pack a punch without cramming too many things into it.

Summary: Many years after the end of the quest for the Shikon no Tama, Kagome returns through the well.
Why: This is such a gorgeous, heart-breaking story. The author really does an amazing job with creating and then sustaining the emotion in the story. She absolutely made me ache for Kagome and her abandonment and the way that it makes her lose her way. So much of this story is bittersweet that it makes the truly happy moments just that much more precious. Even though it was painful, I was enthralled by the author's vision of where Inuyasha and Kagome were after 20 or so years. I loved their characterizations; they were still the people we know in the series, but changed by the passing of time. This story is really an emotional journey, and one that I think will be sticking with me for a long time to come.

Summary: Hojo becomes trapped in the Sengoku Jidai: Chivalry isn't dead, but it sure seems to be asking for it...
Why: I think that I'm like a lot of people when I say that I've always been vaguely amused by, but largely uninterested in, Hojo. He's a sweet kid, but really rather boring. Well, until you stick him in the Sengoku Jidai, and trap him there indefinitely. Then the fun begins. Watching Hojo and his modern ideas face off against the Sengoku Jidai is quite a ride. Ill feelings and misunderstandings abound as Hojo meets the past and its inhabitants. Yes, this story had me snickering to myself throughout.

Don't let my description fool you, however. This story does have its more serious elements. They may take you by surprise as the story progresses, but they are there. There are a couple plot points that really run throughout the story, including one which helps make the story interesting right to the very end.
