Cadi, Chapter 2
Cadi was happy to be alone in her apartment with her food. She took her time to savor it, just making contented little sounds as she ate. Once she was done, she took a moment to explore the cozy set of rooms, sticking her nose into the fridge, playing...
Robin Ch 5
In the coming weeks, many of the other residents in the area rather 'officially' joined the family, starting with Hugo's parents. In a lot of ways, the area became what a furry district should be, rather than the half-police states that the transhuman...
Cadi, Chapter 5
Cadi did well working at Briar's bar, learning the ropes from the badger, and doing her part. It was fun and invigorating, and she got to see people... happy. That was a big change from her old life, where most of what she knew was pain. Here... there...
Kestrel Ch 3
After that storm, Kestrel's renown only rose within not only the family but the entire sailing community of the lake. After she came of age, she never wanted for a drink at the bars around the lake, but even before then, anything that she had to say...

Briar Ch 4
The rest of the trip was a true delight, and she gave both of them great-big hugs as she got onto the jet to fly back to Chicago. When she got back to the pub, she had a true spring in her step, and Maisie gave her a playful grin. “Well, the prodigal...
Briar Ch 2
After helping thwart the fledgling racketeering ring, Briar took it upon herself to see to it that the vulnerable kids within the school had what they needed in order to protect themselves. As such, she started a bit of an unofficial after-school...
Briar Ch 3
Briar's magic shop pub honestly did very well for several years. They'd even gotten several local distribution rights for their brew and liquor. Nothing terribly impressive, and never in very large volume, but they sold out very quickly, which made...
Christine Ch 1
Christine had never really wanted to come to this camp in the first place. But, her parents had decided that this would be good for her... help her push past her social anxiety. Right, by just chucking her in the deep end, and making her figure out how...
Kestrel Ch 2
“Look. I've paid good money for this fishing trip today, and the forecast is still _clear_. You're going to take us out, or you can be sure that I'm going to sue your little 'family business' into oblivion." Kestrel pinched the bridge of her nose...
