Benefits of Additional Training
It was almost a surprise when the others started showing up again. Catherine and I had been playing together for a good two and a half months, almost every evening. In January, things kind of slowed down a bit as Catherine tried out for her school's...
All-Star Weekend
I caught the pass from our point guard, and then I drove forward, putting pressure on the opposing team's defence. As one of their guards closed with me, I turned my back on the net, keeping my body between the defender and the ball. My eyes cast about...
Switching Roles
That fall passed slowly for me, but looking back on it, most of it's a blur of training. My weeks were scheduled almost down to the minute. During weekdays, I would wake up early to catch my ride with Catherine and Laurence to school. On Mondays,...
Blue Eyes
Author's Note: This story is set in the same world as Demicoeur's _Cinderfrost_. It makes use of her 'hell-touched' as well as the general reaction of the public to said people. It does not feature her characters. Her comic can be found here:...
Rounds of 64 and 32
[The Furry Basketball Association](http://furrybasketball.com/) is a collaborative project, and the creation of Buck Hopper. Underwood College, [PJ Zarr](http://furrybasketball.com/wiki/index.php?title=P.J._Zarr), and [Josh...
The Reunion - Part 3
After the night of her confrontation with her father in Montana, Catherine changed. It wasn't a complete 180; she was still cool and confrontational, and her dry, harsh sense of humour often cut a bit too close to home. That said, she didn't have that...
Skating
This story is mine, under my pennames (TrianglePascal or Icey\_the\_Fox). Please don't steal it, 'cause that's a douche move. This story is more or less a love story from me to the city that makes me feel warmest when I'm at my coldest. --- ...
Draft
It felt odd not rushing to get to the court after school that day. At the beginning of that september, I'd started at East Vancouver Collegiate Institute: Catherine's high school. EVCI was a decent sized school closer to the edge of Vancouver. I'd...
Two Player Drills
One of the weirdest things about Vancouver in the winter is how big of a difference altitude makes. You could be walking down a hill through big, fluffy flakes of snow, and find yourself in heavy pelting rain by the time you reach the bottom. The snow...
The Winter Wolves I
"It's snowing." The hand insistently shaking at his shoulder had woken him. It was those two words that actually made him sit up, suddenly alert. Fran looked over at the skunk kneeling just next to him. "How much?" "Not loads. Pascal said that it was...
Intermediate Sponsorship
I didn't go back to the court for a few days after that. I didn't want to look at any of them. I felt awful, and I didn't really want to be reminded of Garet glaring at me, or the others watching me, or Catherine storming by without even looking at...
Personal Training
**Author's Note:** Hey, I know it's been a while. Things have been a bit manic for the past few months. Here's the next chapter of the story of Catherine and Hiro. Catherine is my character for the Furry Basketball Association, the fantasy sports...
