CW: creepy looking creatures, talk of violence (nothing shown), swearing Dylan slept in the uncomfortable metal bed. The mattress was thin; the joints creaked and screeched at every move; the single threadbare blanket felt like sandpaper on her skin; but she slept. She had no choice. None of them did. Sleep was forced upon them …

Prompt Story: Takeover (Blur #3)
“They’ve never done this before,” Sasha frowned, biting at the skin on her bottom lip. “We’ve never tracked more than four at one time, never mind in one place. What are they doing?!” The tech looked around to see a mixture of confusion, panic and fear across the rest of the faces hurriedly assembled in …

Blur CW: eye stuff, swearing, some ableist words for mental illness (not used as insults), PTSD symptoms “Yep, she’s lucky we managed to fix her back up into one piece! Now don’t worry, she’s got a bit of a journey ahead, but she’ll come through just fine.” Dylan cracked open her eyes as the words …

Prompt Story: Waiting [an Ixan tale]
Al turned a circle, weapons dripping blood into the ground around zir. It hardly mattered, everything was already bloodied and soaked. When ze was sure there were no more coming, ze knelt, finding clean patches on the clothing of the dead to clean zir axe and short sword. The axe was little more than a …

Prompt Short Story: Endings (Of Wings & Fur #15 & final)
For a long moment, Brute’s howl hung in the air, echoing off the cave walls. Every eye turned to him as he reared up on his hind legs, spread his front paws, and howled again, before dropping back down on all fours and baring his teeth in a snarl. Waiting. Even knowing he was on …

Prompt Short Story: Coup (Of Wings & Fur #14)
Trina awoke at the setting of the moon, her blood fizzing in her veins, and eased herself out from beneath the blankets she and Cherry shared in Cobalt’s camp. She could feel the approaching dawn, a gift from her inner wolf, but today she sensed more. She supposed the smell of blood in her nostrils, …

Prompt Short Story: Allies (Of Wings & Fur #13)
When Cherry awoke, she found herself snuggled up against Trina’s side. Making an appreciative noise, she wriggled in further, making Trina laugh and stop reading. “Awake at last,” Trina murmured, rolling onto her side so as to properly give cuddles. “How long did I sleep?” “A few hours. Long enough to miss part one of …

Prompt Short Story: Future (Of Wings & Fur #11)
The floor of the werewolves’ basement had been cleared, everything shoved to one side to create a large central area. In the space a circle was drawn as large as possible in chalk, filled with markings and runes that shimmered gently in a way that hurt the eyes to look at. Cherry sat comfortably in …

Prompt Short Story: Trance (Of Wings & Fur 10)
The werewolves were restless. They’d seen–and smelt–neither hide nor hair of the pixies since their retreat, and that was worrying. They had heard from Trina and Cherry, which was good–they’d driven the pixies off, wings furled in shame, and were on their way home. Alfonse in particular was unable to sit still. His hair and …

Prompt Story – Choices (Of Wings & Fur 09)
Cobalt had reached the camp where those not on the squads had been resting. By now, everyone had returned, and she felt the eyes on her as she walked to her tent, refusing to turn and meet their gazes. Not until she was able to counter them. And to figure out how to do that, …
