Lycanthropic Love

Ben and the Gnoll
Ben relaxed. It was something he didn't get to do a lot. He lived in a cottage on the outskirts of a small town that was noplace special. It was quite a big cottage, as it sometimes doubled as a clinic. But at the moment, it was just his cottage....
A Kobold's Epic Eggsperiment
Dragon. The mere mention of the word is enough to conjure fantastic images into any person’s head. In a world full of wonderful and magical things, they stand at the peak as the most wonderful and the most magical. Matestic and...
The Wolf in the Web
Conrad cowered behind a collapsed tree and groaned, cursing his rotten luck. It was supposed to have been a routine scouting trek. Those bastard elves had been encroaching on the pack's territory again, trying to siphon the land's essence to power...
Isla Fecunda
A young canine anthro - German Shepherd, to be precise - stood on a beach. It was a beautiful beach, and a beautiful day to be on it. The sun was warm and pleasant, a cool breeze washed over her, and all was silent save for the lapping of the waves and...

Ben and the Dragoness
Ben woke up with a splitting headache and sore wrists. He soon realized that the former was because he had been hit in the head and the latter was because he was tied to a wall. The last thing he remembered, he was traveling through the mountains on...

The Levana Protocol
It was cold. But not like a sharp, biting cold, the kind that makes your bones ache. It was more of a pleasant coolness, like stepping into an icy room after a long hot day. And it was into this coldness that she woke up. She wasn't sure where she...
Bump in the Night
Tranquil Peak was the quintessential small New England town. It was beautiful in the autumn, peaceful and cozy in the winter, and every corner seemed to have its own quaint little cafe or specialty shop. The architecture was delightfully antique, with...
