Job Satisfaction at the Baker's Dozen
There was a building in a small town, between a herbal remedy store and the sort of antique shop that sold swords; a specialty bakery that was known far and wide for its variety of different-tasting breads and treats, using only the freshest...
A Warm Winter's Welcome - a written gift
I'd met up with Gemini Albon a few times before, but never at his place. Like most Dragons, he had a dominant streak, played video games with guns, and liked to show off his real and allegorical swords; unlike most Dragons - though...
The Dragon, Iguana and Prejudices
I think this would have worked better as a comic as I was writing this. * * * He banked, he circled, he spread his big red wings to slow down; a few flaps kicked up a cloud of dust as the tall, lean Dragon touched down in the park's grassy field for...
Solo Self-Discovery
Gemini Albon, mighty Dragon, was lonely and bored. He stepped out of the bathroom, towelling himself off, and blew a smoke ring out of his nose with a frustrated sigh. Heading over to the phone, he pressed the Message button and...
Lady of the Collar, Introduced
A child was born in a large town, and it was a portentous occasion. After the colonial wars ended, the wide territory of Aetroziythus felt its grip on reality as a whole loosen: superstitions became real, strange amorphous creatures and their tiny yet...
The Dress: of power and control
It was dark, the only light coming from a few fat candles; it was quiet, the only noise coming from the tub in one corner. A charcoal-grey Mare with hair the colour of rosewood relaxed as much as she could, bathing with her precious pet at her side....
Expanding Horizons
"Hi! Uh, is Rykela in?" "No, sorry, the eggs are hatching today. But I'll mention that you dropped by! Would you like anything? We've got a fresh batch of Gender Rolls, all unlabelled." I hadn't been to the Baker's Dozen in a while, and hadn't really...
Maya and the Planticles
Maya decided to go on the prowl that night. She gathered some friends, and by the time of her second drink, she'd picked up a Feline. The Lion was a bit shorter than most, but even if he wasn't, Maya still would have had an easy time hoisting him over...
Furrie's First Adventure: a lurid thought experiment
I was browsing around one evening, looking for a Furrie site. I liked most of the art and stories that came out of Furrieness, but couldn't find much of that on my own. Most of the people I knew kept saying stuff like, "If you're interested in...
Never Surrender. (The hateful betrayal)
Never Surrender. "Thank you all, and may True Power give you serenity!" The Feline hopped off the ship, his sword already unsheathed, ready to take on the Southern Continent and whatever new experiences it held! Not noticing the curses...
Never Surrender! (The Valiant Hero's Capture)
Never Surrender! The Cat leapt backwards, swinging his sword in a wide horizontal arc. It made the pathetic Dogs stop in their tracks, or wish they had. So easy, the Feline thought to himself. I should have come to the Southern Continent...
Males vs. Females in the Secret City
The Lapine snuck from one wall to the other, weapons akimbo. Though she was used to fatigue, she was breathing heavily through frustrated fear: her last foe, that Bear that stood between her and the victory she'd came for, could step out of any of...
