Jungle Biology
Claire beamed proudly at the dense, impenetrable jungle. It did not return her enthusiasm. She sighed happily, adjusting the pith helmet that tried in vain to contain her frazzled blonde hair. At last, she was alone in nature. Those morons at the...
Ferry Tail
It was supposed to be a simple ferry ride. Desmond was the kind of person who let his annual leave build up. Not because he loved his job - accountancy work for local government was exactly as interesting as it sounded - but because his personal life...
Meeting Mrs Rachels' Needs
Mrs Rachels had always been a model neighbour. She lived alone in a house meant for at least two. She always had, as far as he remembered. So when she asked him if he was free to give her a hand with summer chores - and he was, with high school over...
A Neighbour's Warmth
"No no no no... agh, fuck!" Robert stomped his feet into the snow, fighting off a feeling of numbness. His gloved hands were shaking, not just from the cold. His parents had trusted him with the house, and it was all falling apart. Something was...
Hey, Man
"Hey man, can I suck your dick?" Trey glanced over to Nat. He was trying to focus on the game, but a statement like that was enough to break his concentration. She didn't do the same, though. Her small, pink tongue was still sticking out in...
Quick Coffee
Lee stared down at his phone. The app met his gaze, inviting and friendly. _"This is the dumbest thing I've heard in my life."_ He looked up just in time to see the pedestrian light turn green. As he crossed the street, he pocketed his phone again....
See Me After Class
The bell rang. The students quickly packed up and left, flowing out into the hallway - all except for Danny. He watched everyone else leave with a slight wistfulness in his green eyes - it was the last class of the day, after all. His ringed tail...
A Kobold, Captured
The dungeon is dark, and the kobold is nervous. This is nothing unusual. All kobolds are nervous, especially when under the thumb of a red dragon. Deg and his clan live their lives knowing that, should they ever show signs of disrespect - or even just...
Fox Swap
Nick Wilde knows he is a lucky fox. Maybe he wasn't, for a long stretch of his life. But now it feels like his luck is making up for lost time. Somehow, he's wound up with an absolutely incredible partner. Someone smart and kind and fun who genuinely...
Day Three-ish
Fox was pretty sure it was day three. On a starship, it was easy to lose track of time. Every computer system onboard could remind you what hour it was per Cornernian Standard Time, but that mightn't mean much in the unending night sky of space. Fox...
An Officer and the Governor
Nick Wilde was moving up in the world. It had been a few years since he had earned his shiny police badge. Technically speaking, he was still at the same rank. Just a humble officer. But sometimes he got the impression he was impressing...
Thanks, Man
"Thanks, man," sighed Nat. "It's fuckin' hot as shit today." With that, she fumbled off her shirt and dumped it, sweaty and unwanted, on the floor. Trey knew, academically, she wouldn't be wearing a bra underneath. But the sight of his best friend's...
