“Hi!” The soft voice came from in front of them, and the last thing they were expecting was the pretty girl they had noticed from afar standing there, smiling. How often had they come to the library only to be caught off-guard by the graceful girl restocking the shelves, and caught watching her for near… Continue reading Little Fox (Part 6)
It was the first, and last, time that Makoto would ever skip a class. But really, the hope being dashed time and time again…and this time from a Hunter themselves. All the third year students had been called down to the Great Hall to see a demonstration from the Shadowhunters, explaining skills they looked for… Continue reading Little Fox (Part 5)
They had been careful, trying to not stand out. It wasn’t hard, with the sheer number of people who just looked…different. Maybe it would all be okay. This school could be a good place for them. Maybe…maybe there would even be someone like them here. “Hi! I’m Quintis.” The human boy plopped down in the… Continue reading Little Fox (Part 4)
“Ugh. They picked you up too?” Makoto looked up from the book they had, barely interested in anything outside the story. It was safer that way. As it was, the man from the Discovery Initiative had no idea how to handle the idea of someone as different as Makoto, or how everyone seemed to despise… Continue reading Little Fox (Part 3)
They flipped the book over and over, amazed. It was their very own proper book. A proper novel. The small trip to town and carefully scrounged allowance meant this was the best present they could ever get for themself. Something about how it called to them.

Makoto only knew the bare basics of where they came from. Found as a toddler, wandering out in the woods, as bare as the autumn leaves. Their whole life, they knew they weren’t the same as everyone else around them. They took to wearing oversized clothes, at the orphanage. It hid the darker markings up… Continue reading Little Fox (Part 1)
She ran her hands through her hair again, letting out a long sigh of relief. She knew how mortals could be, how they should have been. Even things as ancient as herself could still be nervous, scared. Sure, she was as cold and bitter as the very waters her children lived, but… They had done… Continue reading Success
“I told you already, you can’t come with me!” The frazzled Fae stared at the young girl, her eyes wide and sorrowful, bag clutched to her chest. Years ago, he would have lead her along cheerfully, disappearing with a cackle on the noble girl with silly intentions. These days, though… “Yes, I can!” She stomped… Continue reading Wannabe Runaway
Grey eyes narrowed in concentration, she ignored the stray strands of curly brown hair in her face. If only…just a little longer… A bump in the road jarred the wagon just enough that Brannagh sighed, putting down her stitching. Crawling off her bed in a decidedly unladylike manner, she opened the door, judging the speed… Continue reading Found Again
A week. That’s all she had left to wait. A week before she could send mortals in to deal with infuriating mortals, and then it would be back, and in the sea once more. How long had that poor selkie gone without drinking seawater? It couldn’t be good for the skin, for her poor child–… Continue reading One Day At a Time
