Morning Muzzle
Light was just starting to leak through the rather loose doors of the hay barn Kalinth and Amoux slept in. If that hadn't been enough to wake them the cock that had been crowing since far too early that morning started up his song again. ...
Just a Little Harmless Fun
The night was cool, though that did not quite manage to touch Lethandra's skin as she walked up the sloping meadow from the river, Her jade scales glinted with water she had not bothered to shake off. It dripped away slowly as she came to the came to...
A Winter Swim
The steam of the hot spring was visible long before they got there. The cold clear day let them see far, but if anything it made the last part of the flight colder. Strictly speaking, this hadn’t even been on the way home. Not the most direct or the...
More than Morning Dew
The first hints of sunlight started to peek through the window when Kalinth's tail brushed against the curtains and pulled them closed. They had forgotten to close them the night before and that was fair. The evening had been rather distracting and...
Dinner Can Wait
A late evening thunderstorm had cut their evening in the garden short but had also brought a blast of welcome cooling air to what had been an over-warm day. The trio now sat back on the porch and watched the rain come down hard and heavy over the yard....
A Green and Her Rider

Feathers: A Date
If Attis was going to be honest with himself it wasn't a date. He knew. He knew she knew it. Yet someone it just felt better to call it that. Calling something a hookup just seemed too... To something. Was it casual? No, that wasn't it, this was...
Morning After
The trio lay in bed for some time. The line of morning sunlight from the window had moved fully off the bed before any of them moved or said anything. They just snuggled all lost in their thoughts. Though the drake Attis spent most...
Longwing
The ocean was entirely and completely boring, an vast endless expanse of waves that was only broken up by the occasional fin or flash of underwater creature to break it up. It was endlessly tedious and Aileen had heartily had enough of it. The longwing...
Getting Off Campus
The dorms hadn't been bad if Attis was being honest with himself. They had certainly been fun, but going into his second year of university he was ready to move on. He's had the summer to think of other options, but in a surprise to no one...
