MidoKirin Standalone Stories
Starting 2025, the stories I will create for Kirinmaru and Midoriko will feature independent plots with no sequel dependency. It means you don’t need to be familiar with Inuyasha or Hanyou no Yashahime to understand these characters. I'll introduce them in my stories and give them unique voices of their own.
2 Reasons Why I Decided to Create Standalone Stories for MidoKirin:
1. I decided to make standalone stories for MidoKirin because I didn't want to restrict myself by trying to connect them all into one big universe. I've been going to all these cool writer events and conferences (mostly virtual), and it really hit me that if I want to make standalone stories for this ship, I've gotta come up with something totally unique and fresh. I want to explore aspects of these characters and find out more about their personalities and backgrounds. I feel like it would make their romance a lot more interesting and relatable, something we never saw in the original anime because they are considered a crack ship.
2. I received some emails from silent readers saying that they love reading romance stories between a demon and a priestess and consider it a unique concept. However, they are not familiar with Kirinmaru and Midoriko. They said they don't really know MidoKirin and don't have time to watch the whole anime to get to know them better. They're asking for standalone stories catered to fans who love demon x priestess romances. So basically, they want to enjoy reading fanfics without needing to watch the show where these characters originally belong.
Midoriko and Kirinmaru as Parents:
In an alternate universe, I will still include Riku and Rion as their children.
I've always been a big fan and have been dying to know Midoriko's character. What's her personality like and what kind of priestess was she in her time? I can't help but picture how she'd be a mother to her children and a wife to Kirinmaru, even though she is a shrine maiden and forbidden to marry a demon. How do you think she's going to deal or handle with all the difficult situations in her family? And what about keeping her half-demon children safe from harm? It's gonna be a wild ride for sure.
From what I’ve learned about the Heian period, high-ranking shrine maidens were often expected to maintain their purity and focus on their religious duties. This creates a complicated life for Midoriko, which inspires me to write more about her romantic relationship with Kirinmaru. I always get excited about these two. I also want to provide Riku with a real family where he is no longer considered different. Riku is very important to me and my only wish is to give him a loving family where he truly belongs.
Erotic Scenes:
Yes, of course! We will still include erotic content in some of my MidoKirin stories. I've been trying to make Kirinmaru and Midoriko's relationship more interesting and dynamic by adding some extra depth and "spice" to it. I am participating in a community where real couples share insights about their healthy traditional relationship structures regarding intimacy. I am so excited to apply what I've learned from that community to my future MidoKirin stories.
