Family Bonds
The hyena drummed his fingers along the rim of the steering wheel, open flat land and low-lying hills rolling slowly by through the windows. Always a dull drive to the airport, some forty minutes out of the way no matter which direction he came from -...
Sibling Rivalry
Shekh didn't really know what to expect when Asiri picked him up from the airport that Friday morning, as he never did. So many things had changed in so many years, and every time the two got the chance to see each other, something else had happened or...
Good Use #1: Out Of Order
Sitting across from me, Ryan reached over to set his empty glass at the edge of the table - and he did so with a sly, pointed look my way. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows over my own drink. "What? _Again?_" "Mhmm." The wolf sat back,...
Rubbing The Right Way [Commission]
Radia shifted where she sat, the surface of the stone bench cool against her bare fur. The others had really chosen a wonderful day for this, between the sun shining overhead from behind an uneven cover of clouds, and the occasional whisper of a...
Twist Of Fate [Trade]
Andy jogged in place at the fork in the path, trying her best to resist the desire to stop for a rest. She had long since learned that stopping just made it harder to keep on going later, and she needed to be able to go as long as she possibly could....
Past His Limit
Straw clamped between his lips, Lukas idly drew from his milkshake while the thoughts continued to roll and bounce around his head. Outside the ice cream shop it was a pleasant day, with clouds just starting to gather in the sky; the wind they had...
Good Use #2: Moving Up
I let go of the couch as soon as I felt the legs start to sink into the carpeted floor, careful to move my paws out of the way. _"God,"_I breathed, and promptly turned to flop down onto that couch. "That's finally done..." "Yeah," my boyfriend...
Cold To Hot
Raul waited at the door, paws in his pockets, jacket pulled firmly around himself against the cool morning breeze. The rain throughout the past week still made itself felt in the noticeable drop in temperature, as well as the certain scent it imparted...
Contracted Changes [Commission]
Wolffy double-checked the house, with the map on his phone, with the address he had been sent in the email. It certainly seemed as though this was the place, though it didn't quite look like what he had expected... but, then again, he'd never been too...
Extracurricular Expectations [Commission]
Grant watched the early evening scenery of the city pass by through the window. He had walked this route to his dorm many times before, and the familiarity brought him at least some amount of comfort amid the turmoil of everything that had happened...
Swollen Confidence [Trade]
"One drink!" Tohrk had said, almost as soon as he'd walked into the bar. He wasn't particularly... stout himself, but he'd once made the mistake of wearing his pads to the bar, and had had to half-turn to get in through the door. Tonight was not one of...
Prey After Predator [Trade]
Lucian dropped his head into his hand, rubbing a forefinger and thumb at the base of one of his horns. Pounding headache ever since he left his apartment earlier in the evening, or a little bit before right when his girlfriend started shouting like...
