Hi!!! Wip asks I do enjoy a shifter fic and cat Buck sounds fun- tell me more 💜

Answered here but just for you I’ll give a litttle more hehe. It’s a oneshot so a lot isn’t explained but ah I just love shifter fics a lot.

The dumpster is behind a bakery, which seems to be open most hours of the night, industrial ovens and stoves switched on. Which is to say it’s warmer than any of the other dumpsters on the street. And it has the best food scraps. Sometimes even an entire loaf of bread.

It’s warm, and there’s food, and when Buck’s in his cat form, there’s really nothing else needed. Someone to cuddle up to would be nice, but Buck’s getting used to being on his own. He’ll live. He doesn’t want to be too greedy.

So he sleeps under the bin, pressed against the wall of the bakery where the warmth is strongest, and curls up, dreaming of love and being wrapped up in a hug, his tail intertwined with another.

And he wakes up cold, but nothing compared to Pennsylvania, so he can’t really complain.

Buck stays as a cat most days. It’s easier. Fewer people ask questions about why he’s on the street, he can squeeze into the safe spots, eat scraps without feeling bad, and most importantly his brain dulls down and he doesn’t feel that intense longing so much. He doesn’t hurt as much. He just exists, and lives, and that’s a much nicer life.

If he could stay as a cat forever, he would.

But when he stays in this form for too long, his bones start to ache more than normal, and his head starts to hurt, and there’s this itch under his skin he can’t seem to shake.

So Buck decides he’s going to have to shift one of these days, and it might as well be today.

Cat buckkk meowmeowmowmwoww

Foxieeeee hehe cat buck is a lil one shot where Buck is homeless and stays as a cat outside Bobby’s bakery who feeds him cats thinking he’s a stray. Then Bobby realises he’s a shifter and drags him inside the warmth and it’s just soft and RARARARAR

I think I’ve shared like all of it with you already but for everyone else here is a snippet:

Actually I think I’ve shared this before but idc it’s what I will share again 🫡

The man startles, waking up and looking around on alert. When he spots Bobby standing by the doorway, food in hand, he freezes, eyes widening. His eyes flicker to the bread in his hand, and Bobby distantly wonders when the last time the kid ate was.

Before he can offer the loaf, the man stands, hunching his shoulders inwards to make himself smaller and backing away.

“Sorry, I’ll just—” and suddenly the kid is gone, and a little black cat takes his place. It’s funny how small the cat is compared to the man. Bobby thinks it’s more fitting.

Bobby decides to shift too, hoping it will stop the kit from startling so much; he’s already shaking, tail fluffed up in fear. He can see his eyes darting, looking for an escape, but Bobby will be damned if he doesn’t stop that. He doesn’t think someone sleeping by the dumpster has anywhere better to go.

He slowly stalks towards him, trying to appear as non-threatening as he can. Which is difficult, given just how scared the smaller cat is.

The cat looks up at him, wide eyes staring into Bobby’s. Bobby turns towards the bakery, tilts his head and starts to walk towards the back door, hoping he’ll get the message, but when he turns, he finds the cat still frozen, looking at him but making no sign of moving along with him.

Bobby sighs internally, his cat brain not bothering to try anything else before he just walks up to the small cat and nips at his neck and drags him by the scruff with his teeth into the warmth of the bakery. The cat yowls in shock but otherwise puts up no fight, limbs instantly going limp. Bobby isn’t sure if that’s a good thing or a very, very bad sign. Still, he doesn’t think too hard, just pulls the cat all the way inside and plops him on top of the pile of blankets he has in one corner of the store.
