The drabble is adorable, and your friend's art is so gorgeous. How lucky to have someone to draw you fanart!

(By the way, I have read the rest of your Okami fanfics, but I've been feeling too uncomfortable to comment on months-old posts. So I'll take the chance and do it here so I won't spam you. They're splendid, and although the fanon mythology tie-ins were not that compatible with my own I enjoyed them nonetheless, and found them really creative and interesting. And as much as I love Ushiwaka and your stories about him, I'm just giddy that someone drabbled on the Brush Gods :D)
