This week, self-quarantining/social distancing is starting to get to me a little bit more and I was looking for a longer story to distract me. Technically, this is a complete series, but at 300k, there’s more than enough to keep me occupied.
This will not be a verse for everyone because it does include mpreg, which I know for some is a “no-fly zone” and it is A/b/o (werecats) with all the potential dub-con that trope can contain. I still urge you to give it a shot even if it’s not normally your “cup of tea”, because at the heart of the story, it is about a young man finding himself after struggling through years of self-doubt about his very identity.

Summary:
In the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, against the edge of the churning Nantahala, there lives a pride of creatures called the ailure -- ailuranthropes, cats with the ability to take the shape of a man. Their alpha, Jensen, has suffered a great loss, and is losing his sense of self and his direction. Not too far from them, another werecat, a human-raised runaway named Jared, is still trying to understand who, and what, he is. Grief has the ability to tear us apart, tear us down, but the ability to climb our way back out is always there, and the desire to leave behind our burdens is more than merely human.
