Leviathan 06: The Small Things
**06: The Small Things** Nico can't think straight, he's panicking. He's plastered in a chair slid right into the corner, splayed defensively against the back of it as if he's a giant fluffy spider, and not a precocious red panda. It's a small room,...
When the Fighting Starts
**Chapter Seven: When the Fighting Starts** Oderan's first sensation was one of comforting warmth. Akkedisian blood did not run hot, and every member of his species knew that no matter how many blankets one piled atop themselves, they would always...
Home Again - Epilogue
Brady reached into the fridge, his paw picking out the strawberry flavoured milk he'd decided on. Hefting the sugary drink, the wolf let the transparent fridge door swing shut of its own volition. He strolled up to the front counter, placing his...
A Patient Death 02: Let the Dead Judge
**~ Chapter 02: Let the Dead Judge ~** _At least when I'm dead, I won't have to move._ Breeze thought, sagging in the saddle, Erasmus's slender paws tight around his waist. Everything hurt. His face throbbed with the devil's fire, his muscles were...
A Patient Death 06: Wail of the North
**~ Chapter 06: Wail of the North ~** Roland gazed through the glowing crimson of his wine glass onto the city below, deflating. The relief of being finally, mercifully alone washed over him like warm bathwater, and he felt his hide twitch with the...
Problem Solving
Wind is decidedly the cruellest kind of weather. A cold wind bites into you like no other; it strips away your layers and kills you. At least that was Llewellyn Chavez's personal opinion. In the heat, one could strip down to the fur, drink cold drinks,...
Blood and Dirt and Bone
**Eleven: Blood and Dirt and Bone** _Die young, save yourself._ Resh thought, handing Misha a piece of bread. The mutt took it but did not eat, his eyes lost in some other place. _Nothing ever stays the same...I know. I always take the...
Black Meridian 06: Old Guns
**06: Old Guns** "FLETCH-ER FULBRIGHT!" The tall wolf called out emphatically, pacing back and forth before the now-closed circus gates. "Don't bother hiding away, let's make this easy and ain't nobody gotta get hurt in this!" Fletcher's breath...
Black Meridian 05: The Contortionist
**05: The Contortionist** "So, _you're_ the jester." Thume said gruffly, not bothering to even attempt at trying to hide his foul mood. Without getting out of his seat, Lyric looked up lazily from his book, carefully studying the ornery goat that...
Sunnyside Up
Brady wandered into Oliver's kitchen in his underwear, sleepily rubbing his eyes and looking at the lab, who was currently in the process of pouring orange juice. "Morning there." Said the dog, eyeing up the tired wolf. Looking at the clock on the...
Sick
Brady's eyes peeled back slowly, feeling like they were resting under a layer of batter. They were wet and sticky, sluggish from the build-up of sleep. It was gross, and the wolf felt gross as he reached a stiff paw up to wipe them clean. Flicking his...
Leviathan 04: Plausible Deniability
**04: Plausible Deniability** Nico's sitting at his desk, crunching a fingernail in his teeth, contemplating suicide. Not seriously, of course, but merely entertaining the thought, toying with it. Right now he's thinking how nice it would be if the...
