2.7 - Best Behavior
He didn't hear the door open. Or close. But he could sense her. He stiffened. Too late. A shadow moved. A phase pistol was pointed at his head. "Hello," the intruder said, simply. Giving him a thorough look-over. "Hmm." The fairly-toned bat...
Two Lips
"Don't we have enough fruit trees?" Adelaide asked Field. Peering out the screen door on the back porch, the pink bat could see the golden-furred harvest mouse flipping through a plant catalogue. They'd gotten it in the mail yesterday. "I'm looking at...
A Patch of Pink
"Where are you going?" his mother asked. Washing dishes at the sink. The squirrel froze. He couldn't tell her the truth. He didn't like to lie, but ... well, he couldn't exactly say, "Oh, I'm gonna bang a bat." It wouldn't be well-received. ...
1.2 - Under Electric Moon
Luminous slid smoothly through orbit, above a world with purple seas. Lavender, orchid-colored waters stirring beneath skies to match. The ship was a week out of dry-dock, and its first 'away mission' was nearly in the books ... ...
Making Steady Time
Solstice was on the same path as last night. Making steady time. As were the furs who occupied her. "Breakfast is always such a good meal." The doe sat up a bit straighter in her chair. In the skunk's quarters. It was morning. "Pancakes,...
No End in Sight
AUTHOR'S NOTE -- This is the series finale of "Solstice" ... "Illustrious is not answering our hails." Advance sighed. At the head of the conference table. In the conference room (just off the bridge, on the opposite side ... as to...

The room was brimming. Voices, beeps, whirs. The sound of commerce. "Number 529," said the booming voice. "Young, healthy. A bit thin. A bend two-thirds of the way to the tail-tip. Nips taken out of the ears. Honey-brown fur. Male. Has been...

"Field, come on." "I can't get the bow to stick ... " "It doesn't have to be perfect," said Adelaide, waiting, staring at the ceiling. It was a dark, snowy Christmas Eve. Their little country house was quiet save for the fireplace in the living room....
4.5 - Zero Hour
It was 0640 in the morning, station time. And Commander Graham, though still in bed, was _very_ much awake. “Mm. Hmm!" He groped Ambassador Annika's soft, winter-white ass, on his knees behind her, naked, authoritatively plunging his seven-inch cock...
2.8 - Winging It
"That's far enough!" They came to a halt. "Where do you think you two are going?" Sheila demanded brusquely, moving a paw to her sleek, fully charged phase pistol. She didn't wield it. Just wanted them to know it was there. The silver hare was posted...
Quiet as a Mouse
"Have you seen this one?!" Field, sitting on the couch in his parents' living room, glanced at his mother's phone. _Another__baby picture?_ "Yeah, I saw it." **_And_** _the one before that, **and** the one before--_ "Why didn't you leave a...
