The Dog and the Wolf
He could draw on this and his past experience with life outside of aesop to talk about people, the way they acted and the way he supposed they thought, the differences between aesop and the rest of the world, thoughts on society and the world at large
The Fox And The Lion
This collection has a specific theme to them: the pairings have been inspired by the titles of fables credited to aesop.
The Wolf and the Kid
They arrived at aesop in the middle of the right and the middle of a wicked downpour.
The Shepherd and the Lion
Schooling in aesop was a bit different than most other places, but not at every level.
The Ass and the Lap Dog
Big jobs were one of the rare times when you'd see people wearing things in aesop - even with the protections offered by aesop's peculiar magics, safety was considered important.
The Town Mouse and Country Mouse
It was a half-secret - they were open about it in aesop, but with the rest of the family it was an absolute taboo, neither breathing a word of it.
The Wolf And The Ass
#2 of town of aesop (c) i'm getting a couple of players in there that could see a fair bit of screen time!
The Fox And The Crow
#4 of town of aesop (c) someone wanted fox and crow, so here's fox and crow! a ton of fables have a fox in them. apparently they were almost as popular with aesop as they are with the furry fandom. lions also come up a lot.
The Farmer And The Viper
aesop was all about sustainability and stewardship, and part of their terms of support were that he maintain the land in a condition where it wasn't degrading over time.
The Lion and the Boar
#9 of town of aesop (c) more fable pairings! more returning characters! i realize i'm skirting against some potentially touchy issues with this one. it is what it is. i tried to make it as tame as possible!
Aesop
"Shrink, Jack," Fredrick said. His four legs were spread, his eyes were focused, his breath was steady, and he managed to make a couple sparks explode from the tip of his horn. The black colt stood a few feet away from him, staring passively, waiting...
The Tortoise and the Hare
Not that he had anywhere to be that would mind a bit of leakage...which, really, counted the vast majority of aesop.
