There were a lot of good reasons to be out this early, but none as wonderful as seeing this first Giant Swallowtail awakening, and John smiled as it moved. Magnificent, he whispered, in awe of this giant as it slowly unfurled it's Forewings against the sun's morning warmth. It was, as they always were at this time of day, lethargic and calm. "Papilio Cresph...

Little conspiracies, all pointing the same way. Life plods along, but things are starting to turn on Senator Andjuran. Because of the amount of abbreviations in this story, I include a glossary. By popular request, this has been moved to the end of the chapter. There is little attempt to explain the back story, so it is necessary to read previous chapt...
[Author's note: This is the first story I've managed to complete. Of course it turned out longer than I'd expected, but I hope you'll find it's as long as it needed to be. Thank you for reading!] Lisa smiled that smile that always meant trouble, and stood up from the table. In a single motion, she unzipped her jeans and pulled everything down to her ankles....
((Authors Note -- This story follows 'A Day in Gotham - 9 - Batgirl Wins 01'. As with all multipart series, it's best read after the first episode, but I've tried to make it stand on its own as far as possible. In brief though, this follows a part of Batgirl's life where she's been through a long recovery and rehabilitation period after the near tragic e...
Mycah's family had never washed anything and that was obvious. The point was not that they did every piece of their clothing, just that they started to learn. Free men knew how to care for themselves and did so independently. This was just one of many things we had to teach them. Rose's instruction on the use of the camp's washboards were still fresh in my...
The twin moons of Elysia hung like pendulous breasts in the darkened sky, the shimmering jewelled galactic centre providing a breathtaking backdrop to the unique sight as the massive gas giant that orbited outwards of the planet started to rise above the nearby tree tops. The magnificence was lost on Richard Jensen as he sat in the garden chair, legs spread...

Jon closed the door behind his guests as they left the apartment. After walking back into his studio flat, he began to clear up a little, throwing the hand-bent empty beer cans and extinguished snack packets into a small rubbish bin. It was a Friday night and Jon had hosted a quiet gathering of a few of his close friends round at his place. He had drunk a fe...
Torec turned out to be a Minino. The tiger-like pleasure slave was brought to her by Katadre herself. The raven-haired guard looked at Angel with rage. "If I find one mark on him..." The woman cut herself off short, her chest heaving with barely contained violence. Torec's eyes narrowed as he looked from his mistress to Angel. The golden-green eyes had a...
