Slice of life: Orc cuddle

Dragon's Doormat
"Get on the floor. Now." You hesitated. You roughly knew what you were getting into when you arrived at this seedy club on the outskirts of own. You knew there was a reason it was converted from an old warehouse, given the difference in size of the...
Stuart and Sovrim
"So, Stuart, what makes a little rat like you want to be around a lizard like me?" Sovrim asked deviously. "I know you're... curious about a few things, aren't you?" Stuart looked up at Sovrim and blushed slightly. The rat was just barely half the...

30 Catch

28 Ride
At the sorcerer's class reunion, a number of the alumni began to talk about their rides as most had moved on from simple broomsticks. A few went on about how the traditional broom was convenient and unassuming, but others had animated other objects for...
27 Coat
"Back in for the usual?" The beetle nodded to the question. He'd been coming here for long enough that the stylist knew just what to do. With a gesture, the beetle was encouraged to lay belly-first upon the towel-covered table, an invitation he...
