I'm putting this up here in the hope that it will (somehow) encourage me to write more. I've been experimenting with different ways of writing, and this is the result of one of these. For the most part, I'll be uploading 100 word drabbles focusing around prompts, with longer chapter inserts where I feel it contributes to the story. I have heaps of this done already, so I'll be uploading a few every week until I run out of buffer. I'm focusing mostly on my OC, because I'm still working on keeping the canon characters in character.
These drabbles tell the story of Kaylee, a Western fox-youkai. Her charge, Amber, is a human with high spiritual energy and youngest (still living) heir to a minor seat on the Australian Council.
A little back story first though, because it won't come up till waaay later; the Western lands (essentially Europe etc) have much stronger barriers between the realms, though they're weaker along fault lines. Most of the time youkai can only pass back and forth between realms on major holidays (all hallows eves, the solstices etc.) Each 'area' is governed by its own particular deities (greek gods and systems for Greece/Italy etc) and governed by 'Councils' made up of supernatural and human members.
Since a lot of youkai got locked into the human realm when the barriers went up, there has since been a lot of interbreeding, and forced co-operation. Kaylee and Amber get stuck in the middle of this constant conflict of interest between the two parties. Rules and regulations regarding youkai presence in the human world are very strict, and hanyou's usually fall under the rules governing their mother.
The story starts with Kaylee and Amber travelling to Japan.
