I (clearly >_>) don't recall the title or any part of it, nor the author's name, though I'm sure it was Elle . . . some numbers. It was a main story and then a sequel and I don't recall the entire story, but I do have clear memories of specific scenes and such. In one scene Sesshomaru gets clawed by a puma or panther youkai who uses pheromones in her attacks to force male youkai into mating with her. There was a scene outside of a hot spring that led Sesshomaru to start a habit of scent-marking Kagome. There was a long, semi-complicated courtship ritual. Kagome's spiritual barrier was always described as 'pearlescent' and in just about every fight sequence there was a scene of Kagome swinging her blades in an arc.

I'd originally read them both back on Single Spark forever ago, does anyone remember these fics or this author? They were really well done and I'd love to read these stories again.

Guess you're looking for A Simple Legacy series, from Elle6778:

I love those fics too!

Oh my gods, yes, I think that was it, thank you so much! *hugs*
