Dancing with Wolves
(Content warning: if you don't like furr/persons mating with animals -- then you're safe. This is tagged "No Yiff", in case you didn't notice. I don't know how many readers that tag combination will get, but it's worth a try.) (Meta note: as usual,...
A Good Master
(Meta note: this piece inspired by [Slavery Legalized](%5C), a fine work worth reading indeed. Randall is used with permission.) **A Good Master** Randall was in agony. Down in the basement of his master's house, he was trying to be a good...
Everyone Has To...

The Stonecarver
(Length warning: this story is over 16,000 words.) (Content warning: rather than being a "pious fiction", this is an "impious fiction". If you are very religious, you might not like it.) **The Stonecarver** Damar was awakened in the middle of the...
Unsticking a Ratchet
(Meta note: I'm not particularly interested in Ratchet. I'm a long-time Sega fan who has never owned any other console. I know Ratchet only from a bunch of clips I have seen on the internet. However, he seems to have stuck in my head, like many of my...

Liberty and Property
(To geeks: I know I took liberties with a depiction of electricity. Enjoy the story as-is, if you can.) (To lawyers: I know I took liberties with a depiction of civil procedure. It is supposed to be a different legal system than currently...
