wander ~ Chapter 18
Always nice when the smell of cooking fills the house, even if it's a whole damn bunch of scents you're not used to. Tomatillos; four different kinds of cheese, two of which I'd never heard of before; uncooked tortillas, sizzling gently in the pan atop...
wander ~ Chapter 20
You bet I had trouble getting to sleep that night. Dad gave me this huge grin once I got home, alternating between praising and thanking me for the dinner, and telling me that me and Tony work real well together, and he might have been a little nervous...
wander ~ Chapter 28
I don't think I'd ever seen the school as lit up as it was that night. For the last week and a half the gym had been closed off for preparations, and now if this were your first time seeing the school, you'd very well think that the gym entrance was...
Heart of the Forest ~ Chapter 5
The same flash of primal terror still shot through the young lynx's chest as the wolf trudged out of the trees and into the light. Lannon forced a smile through it, but deep inside he kicked himself - he had wanted, had hoped, that after their recent...
Moonlight ‾ Part 1
Shimmering sunlight filtered in through the open-air ceiling of the palace's great hall, the wide, far-reaching branches of the central tree casting speckled shadows down along the polished marble floors. The Queen sat there in her throne, carved...
Wilder Side ~ 1
As the eldest son of a middle-noble family as well as a wood elf, Lortian had been shot at before. Some of it was out of propriety - _our bloodline is grace_, his father had told him, _and where this exercise is practical if you ever find yourself in...
A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 11
Five years. William and I had been together for five years. That's all I could think about on my way down the hall, all I could think about as I lay down in my bed with the covers pulled up to my neck, regardless of how I still remained fully dressed....
A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 13
I managed to get Mom to bring us by the store on the way home. She seemed a little confused at first as to why, but didn't question it. Until, of course, she let me run off with the cart to pick up whatever it was I needed... and came back with a...
A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 12
Mom was visibly relieved to see me up and moving about Monday morning (regardless of my interrupted sleep), and honestly, I had a good feeling about the coming week. Sick as it may seem, there was no burden of _what if William shows up after school and...
A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 18
All in all, I think our history project went pretty well. It was kind of rocky in the middle where we'd had to suture together our individual parts, without having had a good time to practice beforehand, but - Harley definitely knew his stuff. He was...
A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 17
_Funny how things work out, isnt it? Most of the time when something like this happens, its the cheater whos trying to contact the ex and apologize, not the other way around._ That would be William's way of subtly guilting me and reminding me of...
Heart of the Forest ~ Epilogue
The lynx lounged back along the seat of the carriage, using both the back of the seat as well as the side of the large wolf alongside him for support. Idly he scratched and traced along the pages near the end of his journal, the cover tattered and...
