wander ~ Chapter 13
"So, you like someone, huh?" My ears flicked forward, my eyes re-focused, I shifted a little in the seat I'd taken. Lexi sat atop the desk in front of me, the two of us the only people in this room; from outside rumbled the familiar dull roar of...
wander ~ Chapter 12
I'm sure you couldn't really care less about how my first few classes today went, so... I guess I just won't bother with going too deep into detail on those. First period Mondays was my teacher's aid thing, and for some reason today my brain had...
wander ~ Chapter 11
Not even noon yet and my body already dragged with the weight and looming exhaustion that a full day usually brought. Some... ten, fifteen minutes since I'd sent that message, and not only had I failed to get any more progress on my homework (come on,...
wander ~ Chapter 10
Swss, swss, swss of the ceiling fan up above, idly spinning in the dark of my room just as it had been since I first lay down in bed some fifty minutes ago. Usually it took me about that long to fall asleep, quite a bit less if I could already feel the...
Housebreaking ~ Part 1
The wolf looked up at the window and watched the way the shards of glass sparkled as they sprinkled down, easily catching and reflecting the light of the early-afternoon sun. The gasps from behind him just deepened his self-satisfaction; he leaned...

Eli awoke the next morning with an arm tucked beneath his and around his body, a muzzle nestled between his neck and his shoulder, a pair of legs intertwined with his own, and an incomparably pleasant warmth both surrounding him as thoroughly as the...

Unexpected, Undeserved ~ Chapter 24
Eli drummed his fingers on his legs, looking down the pathway that stretched out between the trees to his left. It was quite a nice day today, all things considered - he felt himself sweating only a little bit, just sitting here in the shade. A gentle...

_"And so," Silerion said as he was looking up into the sky, "by my own doing I will fix my mistake. I owe that to myself as well as them, don't I?" He smiled and felt the strain of knowing what he had done to cause this. It was a familiar feeling, one...
Unexpected, Undeserved ~ Chapter 22
_"H-hey, stop it that - that tickles! Marlin! Will you-"_ _ _ _Eli squirmed beneath the fox's weight, his laughter coming out as a breathy huff. Marlin hadn't been on the school's football team in two years and yet none of his muscle had disappeared....
Unexpected, Undeserved ~ Chapter 21
Eli never sent his apology. The thought hovered over his head as soon as he awoke the next morning, already putting him into a bad mood. It had been there lurking in the back of his thoughts for most of the night, instilling that restless itch in...
Unexpected, Undeserved ~ Chapter 20
