The Eve

Collar 3 -- Self Discovery
"He's in a spot o' bother, isn't he, little 'un?" "Very much so, Master, very much a spot of bother." "Quite the pickle, wouldn't ye say?" "A particularly large gherkin, Master, a prize-winning dill." "Kosher, d' ye think?" "It would not be my...
Returning
The ride back to campus had largely been quiet. At first, nether Bobby nor Malcolm really wanted to say too much, since they'd been talking all weekend, to each other, to Mal's parents, to his brothers (Daniel had insisted on taking them to lunch...

"I can report with confidence that Niceville, Florida, is just that, but that there's one house that should not be allowed to stand." Bobby Harris could only nod in agreement as he welcomed Duncan and Daniel Lamar back to their familial home with as...
Moving and Maneuvering
"Does that still mean what it used to mean?" The great Leonberger, shifting an armful of flattened empty boxes to one side, pointed to the handle of the dorm room door, grinning broadly. The well-dressed wolverine to his side, carrying his own share...
Trigger Effect
Jerry Bunting knew how to drive, although he'd never owned a car. Something about cars was vaguely unnatural in his mind, as the use of a car contravenes that law of nature which holds that the paws should be in contact with the ground when traveling....
White Nights
_For Gabriel Clyde and Seth Drake, who know all too well_ The tall white Borzoi sat at his midnight table outside the café, enjoying the strange and magical sensations of the fragile light all around him. It was and it was not like twilight; it...
Collar 18 -- Pax Vo Biscum
Arthur Titus Corley was arrested on multiple charges that Saturday afternoon, based upon Fletcher swearing out a complaint against him. As a minor, the wolf needed some sort of help or corroboration from "a parent or guardian." Just in case my own word...
