Scout Camp
The shower was lovely and relaxing, if not very hot, and Kit scrubbed mud out of his fur as he thought back on the day. Okay, it had been pretty cool. Orienteering along with his group, being watchful but not doing their work for them - they'd...
Fairy Dust
It was an evening after school, and today Nall the pine marten boy was on his way to see a friend! Scampering from tree to tree, jumping between when it was the quickest way, making the most of the sunlight. The brown fuzzy mustelid wore round glasses...
Dillobot
"Morning, Naomi," said Kit the roocoon to his helper-bot, a shiny stylised armadillo girl slightly shorter than him, with antennae ears and a soft hum and whirr as she moved. "Really glad it's the end of the week." "Morning! Can't fault a Friday,"...
Swap
"I love how soft your fur is, Molo," said the squirrel to the skunk, as their paws brushed through the fluffy pelt. "You don't even have to do anything and it's like you're wrapped in a blanket all day. I'm jelly." "Aww, silly Rass," said Molo the...
Spotty
The spotted skunk was quiet, and stealthy, and took very much care not to wake Nall the pine marten, who slept; open-mouthed, tongue out. Gently he tiptoed around the warm little nest, eyes bright with mischief, tail wiggly with anticipation. Surely at...
Possum Curse
Paul had never been in the old forest after sunset, but he was very keen to try out the new night lens for his camera. He came here a great deal, but any familiarity he had with this route was lost in the darkness, where nothing quite looked how it did...
Plushderg
"You're a good derg," said the hyena to the plushie dragon. The night was late, the snugs were lovely, the convention floor was pretty much empty, and they'd been flopped there for hours now. "You know what, though? Now it's quiet, I got a...
Marguin
Swimming. It was an easy thing for Diti to lose himself in. Beak closed, flippers and body moving, surrounded on all sides by the cool blue. Relaxed yet swift. Bubbles trailing off behind him. The small emperor penguin did some of his best...
Lucid 2
"And... we're live," whispered the voice. Russet was half-awake already, but at the sudden voice the black and grey polecat sat upright, looking around. Usual features of his room had been replaced with smooth, wipe-clean surfaces. The ceiling,...
Leemdooks
"Okay, just focus on the spell. Think of what you'd like to do," said Nall, quietly. The pine marten was sitting on a chair not far from Thar the ermine, who was taking deep breaths and concentrating on the magical essence building at the tip of his...
Guest Room
Thar the stoat wandered from room to room, paws tapping against the floor as he looked through the shelves for an interesting book to read that night. It was the height of summer, and he was well out of ermine colours, with light brown and cream fur...
Close
It was late into the afternoon, and Prescott the pine marten sat back on the floor. Naomi the opossum was tucked against his blue and white fur, her head rested against a shoulder. It was nice simply to be there together, and to say something every so...
