Notes: This fic is finally finished for wipbigbang 2025. It was started in 2009 as a serialization inspired by various contest prompts on LJ, DW, and other challenges. When the Inuyasha fandom started to die down a bit (before Yashahime), I started to lose interest in this story and updates became rare. The last time I had updated this fic was in August of 2011. I had a working outline for this and have been working on finishing it for a while. Now I feel accomplished that this story has an ending.
