Title: Requiem Romantic
Author: Lythande – http://fancy-random.lythande.com
Fandom: Inuyasha
Pairing: Inu no Taishou/Sesshoumaru
Spoilers: All of the important (that is, Sesshoumaru-related) manga, some of the third movie Warnings: Incest
I should note that the anime and manga of Inuyasha have subtexts that are substantially different, especially where Sesshoumaru is concerned – the anime makes it seem that Inu no Taishou's goal was for his children to work together and for Sesshoumaru to accept Inuyasha as an equal, whereas the manga subtext indicates that Sesshoumaru is being systematically humbled and is intended to accept Inuyasha as his better. This is a pretty significant difference, and because I don't particularly care for the anime, and so haven't watched it in some years, the characterizations and subtexts are all from the manga. The third movie's characterization of Sesshoumaru, in specific, should be ignored, as 'power-hungry' and 'hateful' are actively out of character for him. Also this is a joint project by Lythande and Kawaii_Sheiru, credit for most of this goes to the wonderful Lythande however the Evidence part of this essay is by Kawaii_Sheiru, enjoy.
