Hold Me Until Tomorrow
Today her fur was pure white, more than fresh snow or heavenly clouds. She was a wolf, her nose was a soft pink and the fangs just below her lips gave off the most subtle hint of a fierce nature. More than anything else, her eyes stood out from the...
No One With Horns
High school can be a very confusing time for some, but Aaron and Stregato seemed to have a good idea of what they wanted. Both were young bucks, attending a private school that was almost entirely made up of cervines. Aaron was like most of his peers...
Darnlake Botany Symbiosis
There is no experience like being inside a pod that Venus had custom grown for your specific being. The sap inside tastes unique, as if it was squeezed from a distant fruit you can vaguely remember in your childhood. Being inside Dr. Tuber's pod was...
Darnlake Botany Nourishment
A phone call in the middle of the night is never a good sign. "Come into work now. Right now. We have a big problem." "Hhmmm... wha... ohh... Dr. Tuber what time is it?" "Fescue Maps, I said right now! This is urgent, the situation is getting...

Caught in the Moment
"You look like you're going to fall asleep." "Mmmm I easily could in a bed like this." The fawn mutt stroked a paw softly atop her head. "Well, what fun would that be?" She shifted her tail a bit and moved to get more comfortable. "I know but...
Unspoken
...I stay home a lot. I guess that's just how things are going to end up when most of your hobbies and income come from being on a computer all day long. When every day is the same there are certain things that will pass you by without realizing them...
Return to Darnlake 3
Return to Darnlake: Road to Ganeton Morning seemed to come quick. Bao and I didn't talk much right away, he just tossed me another one of the red fruits and started using some of our water to clean himself a bit. He was right about the fruit,...
Return to Darnlake 2
