[p] Funhouse
Viola rolled her shoulders, readying herself. The building she was in--Castelia's Gym--was empty, its room spacious and slightly darkened. A sweet scent filled the air; mainly fresh honey, but most wouldn't have been able to identify the undercurrent....
[c] Ska Bloodtail's New Life
The ruined Karaks of the Skaven are legion. They are, as a whole, uniform: a picture of grotesque, ruined splendor, bringing to mind the memories of fargone heritage even as the skittering of rats and the clattering of their plunder echoes through the...
Aqua x Werewolf
She rushed through the dark forest, panting, an unseen hunter chasing her. After her Gargoyle baby had wandered away--drifting into the gloaming sky after a coo and a nuzzle against her neck--Aqua had decided to try and venture into a part of the Realm...
Synchronization
Sup? Name's Alicia Lopez, Neuron officer. You might know Neuron as the police force dedicated to preserving peace and stability here onboard the Ark. But something that a lot of people don't know about me is that I'm not just any officer: I...
[c] A Champion's Choice
The hum of the lights overhead is like a high whine, always biting at me. It digs into me, feeding into my sense of worry and unease, never letting me breathe a moment's rest. It was supposed to be a completely normal Championship match--safe and...
The Cetra and the Lion, chapter 5
Our cubs grow fast, and despite the fact that Hojo was deprived of observing their birth, in the end he still controls what happens in his lab. A little under a year after they were born--when they were weaned and active and bright-eyed, always willing...
[c] Sating the Swarm
When the Swarm first blitzed out of the Rho nebula, none of the galaxy knew what to think. They swept from world to world, star system to star system, conquering everything. Though they were few in number, their technology was incredible, peerless...
The Cetra and the Lion, chapter 4
I'm now in my third trimester. When I walk, it is with an ungainly, awkward waddle, a laborious process that more often than not leaves me cradling my tight, swollen belly with one hand. Nanaki enjoys seeing me lurch about and gently teases me over...
A Heavy Burden
It didn't take long for Aqua to feel the shift in her womb. A few days at most. Strange... whereas her first pregnancy (with the Dark Hide's offspring) had left her feeling confused and uncertain right up until the point where she felt her young one...
Aqua x Gargoyles
It had taken quite some time--significantly longer than she had ever anticipated. Nevertheless, the grubs had finally matured, and Aqua saw the new queens off with a wave. Strange... they were not her biological offspring, unlike her past...
The Cetra and the Lion, chapter 3
Sometimes, at night, Nanaki stirs, and I wake to feel an insistent hardness pressing against my back. He is gentlemanly; he never makes a move. When it grows too much to bear, he slinks quietly away into the darkness outside our den. If I listen close,...
The Cetra and the Lion, chapter 1
The world is cold and grey around me, a sterile world of tubes and syringes and disinfectant. I try to will myself to be unafraid. To tell myself that I can get through this. I am not a meek, frightened girl. I am Aerith Gainsborough. I've spent my...
