Tasting Shadows
New Eternity awaited. It wasn't the most popular club around, but it catered to a certain clientele. Just getting there involved weaving through several shady back streets and even an alley or two. Cherno's hooves splashed through the puddles forming...
Your Mom Lol
Banshi had a way of catching others in her aura. Part of it was her scent. She smelled. Just a little, and in the best of ways, of course. It was enough to turn Mahiri's head when she entered the little shop that the big, impressive hyena ran. They...
Given to The Goddess
If it was to be his final stroll, it was a pretty one. Laurie found himself navigating deeper into the forest than ever before, guided through seemingly unmarked paths by his escort. The blue and grey hybrid gryphon walked on hooves like him, quietly...
Dragon Dinner Date
_You're very pretty. I bet that fur is soft!_ _Ohhhh gosh well that's really nice of you to say!_ That was how it began. Layla never thought she'd catch the attention of such a handsome dragon. The big, four-legged kind, even! She was too shy...
Highest Stakes
High rollers only. The _highest_. That was the reputation of the back room. It wasn't easy to find if you didn't know what you were looking for, but Lucifer had connections. The big black-furred wolf was ever the gambler. He was ready for something...
Getting Him for Good
"I told you. I'm _coming over._" That was the best explanation Mahiri offered for why she was standing in Michael's home uninvited. He wasn't even dressed. The lion looked over the feisty leopard in leather and blinked a few times. Which was...
Scoundrel vs. Scoundrel
Beyond the bouncers, beyond the crowds and the bar and the DJ's elaborate light show, tucked into a seemingly unassuming back room, two card players were locked in the showdown of the century. There was silence as they looked over the final...
Classroom Demonstration
The intricacies of evolution and reproduction were a complex subject that necessitated careful study and intense coursework. Very few students made it all the way to graduating year. Those who managed to keep from dropping out for one reason or another...
Going Blind
Some people might have been doing their best to calm down before a big blind date. Keedee wasn't like those people. The exceptionally excitable hyena was seated in front of a laptop screen in the darkness of her bedroom, huddled under a...
Mandatory Break Time
Buried in work, heavily caffeinated, and surrounded by stacks of handwritten notes that desperately needed organizing, Tristan was a cloud of overwork. As a research associate to the greatest mind he'd ever met, he had a tendency to push himself to...
Do Leopards Dream of Erect Deer?
When Mahiri was sleepy enough, there really was nothing that could wake her. Eikthynir knew that well. He didn't even have to move especially quietly on his hooves when he crept into the slumbering leopardess' bedroom that night. The warming weather...
Big Cats in the Bedroom
Indira was stirring her tea more vigorously than usual. That was the only thing that tipped Ravus off. She had something on her mind, but he wasn't yet sure if that was a good thing. When she caught him staring, she looked up, flashing him that...
