[quote][i]The hatchling woke with a start when his chin hit the ground, and he jerked his head up with a half-sneeze, half-snort. Blinking, he looked around. Bright green, brighter blue—for a moment he was confused, and then he remembered. It was afternoon, he was on the river bank, and the sun was warm on his scales, glitter-dazzling on the water. He must have dozed off....[/i][/quote]

Summary: World to world, some things always remain the same.
[indent][i]Seishirou did not remember, precisely. But nonetheless this scene was a familiar one, touched by resonances of—the past? The future? A different present? In any case, he had a sense of other selves, whether incarnations or alternates, fleeting echoes that came without context, curious and strange. In some of them he was humanoid—he remembered hands like those of a centaur or maren, hands that were equally ready to caress or to kill—in some a dragon, in some a shadow, a spirit, a revenant, or even more foreign things. No two existences were entirely the same. And yet, some things did not change.[/i][/indent]

Summary: When Forestfire's nest-mate runs off, leaving him to care for their hatchlings, the clan's co-chief tries to put things back in order. But the leader of the mirror pack, Thorne, has her own ideas about what's right.
[indent][i]“What about[/i] her[i]?” Sirei glanced back at Thorne, who had remained seated. Her voice was low, but there was a feral intensity in it that sent a prickle of wariness down Sirei’s spine.”
“Kilaialeia’s gone,” she repeated. “There’s nothing to be done about her.” With a shrug, she added, “Wind dragons are like that, you know, blowing in and out at whim. I’m not saying she wasn’t wrong, of course, but—”
Thorne’s mouth curled up in a fang-baring sneer.[/i] [/indent]

Summary: A fluffy little story of love at first sight.
[indent][i]The trilling echoed softly among the trees beyond, and then through them darted a bright-scaled, bright-winged dragon, twisting and twirling through the dense overgrowth with a dancing grace.
Right, it was the little nocturne hatchling that Keri had brought home one day.
Only...when had she grown up?[/i][/indent]
