Greetings, and welcome to my attempt at creating a collection of short, stand-alone pieces I will henceforth incorrectly refer to as drabbles, despite their length being greater than one hundred words. Instead of tackling that limitation, I have decided to limit myself to the common-practice 'drabble' maximum of five hundred words; quite the challenge in and of itself, I assure you. At least for somebody who has mastered the gift of gab, as I have.
The reason for this short-story collection is simple…I have soooooooooo many future story ideas that if I attempted to turn each and every one of them into a standard issue story, or even a one-shot, it would take me forever. So, I've decided to see which of my ideas can be whittled down into their simplest forms while still maintaining the underlying imagery and emotion I wish to portray. Of course, I'm sure I will also end up coming up with brand new ideas specifically for this collection that I hadn't previously thought of, but that's a side effect I'm willing to take. *Grins*
These first two chapters are related to one another, part one and two of what was originally envisioned as a larger two-shot, but any and all future 'chapters' added to this collection will be independent. These first two chapters started it all. The original two-shot would have been under the same title, but when it dawned on me that it also made an excellent title for a drabble collection, I left it be.
Be warned that the rating will very drastically in this collection, from K to M, though each individual chapter will be properly tagged. I can't say how regularly I will be adding new chapters to this collection, but I will whenever the moment strikes me. They might not even all be Inu/Kag…cue gasps of surprise! But don't worry…I didn't mean that some of them might feature off-cannon pairings. I just might toss in some San/Mir or Sess/Rin or something into the mix, that's all.
See, I told you I had the gift of gab down pat, so before this 'prologue' exceeds regulations, let's get this show on the road, shall we?
