Plush Love Volume 1, Episode 26: Dreamland
A low sun shone brightly on the rolling tundra. There must have been quite a warm spell to bring out a such a thick carpet of tiny bright flowers and hairfine grass. The ground looked soft and cool. Luke looked into the screen bemusedly. He'd seen a...
Plush Love Volume 2, Episode 7: Cyber Sibers
"What am I going to do about this, Sasha?" Nathan wondered. "It's going to be a lot more frustrating than I thought." Rubbing Luke's feet had been a real turnon. As a distraction, Nathan started flipping through video channels. "...mobile...
Plush Love Volume 2, Episode 4: Homework and Hotels
Luke was awakened the next morning by his new alarm clock. Ben was snuggled against him, purring, and nuzzling Luke's cheek gently. He could feel the rumbling vibration the full length of his body. This was much more enjoyable than the raucous bell of...
Plush Love Volume 2, Episode 12: On the Bus
"Stop staring at me!" Nathan mumbled "Sorry," and turned his head to look out the window instead of at the freckled face. The large equine in the seat facing the aisle glared at him. He'd gotten on the bus at the mall just after Nathan had seated...
Plush Love Volume 1, Episode 25: Plush Reawakening
Ben woke gradually to a dimly lit room. The world around him had changed again. The last thing he remembered was Nathan stuffing him in the box. He'd liked the box as soon as he saw it, but maybe that had been a mistake. He knew Luke shouldn't have...
Plush Love Volume 2, Episode 9: A Siber Morning
Nathan woke relaxed but invigorated. "Ra ruh roo." "I love you, too," he replied, and reached out to scratch Sasha behind a furry ear. Her tail thumped the bed as she licked his face. There was something different about her. Oh, her paws. Each...
Plush Love Volume 1, Episode 18: Dinner, Part 3
Ben was withdrawn into stillness. Positronic Neural Nets. Nanite Fibers. Plush Companions. He didn't remember anything like that, but he remembered nothing before the Store and the plush pile. It could be true. It might not be. Did it really...
Plush Love Volume 1, Episode 16: Dinner, Part 2
It was a dark and stormy night, but warm and cozy inside. "Do you think it could be for real?" Luke really would have liked that. He glanced over at the tiger with its head in Nathan's lap. "I just don't see how it could be. Look how they're...
Plush Love Volume 2, Episode 11: Security Monitors
"Sybernetic Security, LLC," the boxes proclaimed in bright letters. "Makers of the Finest Security Monitors on the Planet(TM)!" Cross-legged on the living room floor, Nathan groaned at the pun and hoped the phrasing was a coincidence. He wasn't sure...
Plush Love Volume 2, Episode 10: Nathan was Unfair
Luke hated breakfasts. Even late breakfasts. Eating breakfast meant he had to get up early and couldn't sleep in until the last possible second. Luke liked to sleep, especially since Ben had come into his life. And his dreams. Nathan was unfair....
Plush Love Volume 2, Episode 6: Keys to Sleep
"Look, Ben, keys! He really did mean it!" Luke was overjoyed. Despite how earnest Nathan had seemed, there had still been that niggling doubt. Ben evidently approved, too. Jumping down from the bed, he purred and wrapped himself around Luke's...
Plush Love Volume 1, Episode 23: IDs Galore
The trip up the hill to Nathan's house was relatively uneventful. Luke had flinched when a small yapper belonging to one of Nathan's neighbors came rushing out to challenge them, but it hadn't dared come out of its owner's yard. "You can just ignore...
