This is a short work of erotic fiction containing furry, or anthropomorphic, characters, which are animals that either demonstrate human intelligence or walk on two legs, for the purposes of these tales. It is a thriving and growing fandom in which creators are prevalent in art and writing especially.
All characters are over eighteen and clearly written to be so, as in all of my stories.

The gryphoness, who was a blended hybrid of a crow and a skunk, stretched out luxuriously on the sofa, her beak stretching in a yawn. It was too small for her feral form, of course, but Nalu didn't care too much for that as she could sleep wherever she pleased, whether she was tucked up and curled into a tight little ball or flaked out and relaxed, completely at ease with her surroundings.
The sofa, however, had been more appealing for the lay of her dark fur and sleek feathers that day, the crest atop her head wiggling as she half sat up, brushing it back into place with a forepaw. Her claws were well-used to the art and act of being used for preening but she much preferred to use her beak whenever possible. Sadly, when it came to the crest that she could wiggle back and forth, signalling her mood and emotions with a little more tact than the firmness of her beak allowed, that could not be preened at all by her beak.
"Oh, dear..."
The feral Nalu shook herself off with a loud yawn, peeking back towards the bedroom door where Ulrica was sleeping. The poor Sable marten had gotten in so late the night before (something about attending a museum opening, which she had sold artefacts to) that she had crashed straight into bed and, wanting to be decorous and allow her the beauty sleep she needed, her house-guest in the feral version of Nalu that she had brought back from another world allowed her the space she needed.
Still, that did mean that the feral gryphon was left without access to wash facilities, with a few options remaining otherwise. Not overly wary, she slipped outside the pod-home, everything the height of technology, and set the keypad to lock behind her. It would be activated on her return by her voice command, allowing her inside, though Ulrica had not had to re-program that, considering that her voice was exactly the same as the anthro version of herself who lived just next door.
The gryphoness could have found the anthro Nalu's home by her scent alone, a skunk's thick musk impossible to miss. Moreover, it smelled like her so intrinsically that she was instantly set at ease merely standing on the doorstep, even though she wondered whether her anthro gryphoness friend would even be awake yet. It was still rather early in the space-town, though she appreciated that she was not in a city. For a gryphon like her, used to living out in the wilds and forgoing larger gatherings, it would have been very difficult, a strain on her mind.
"Hello?"
Similarly tousled, anthro Nalu, the sweet thing, appeared with bleary eyes, though feral Nalu could only laugh a little at how her crest was also sticking up in the wrong direction. It was good to know that she was not the only one that woke up with a serious case of "sleeping head", even though the others called it "bed head". Not being one to sleep in a bed where she lived before, the term had confused the feral gryphon until she had had it explained to her.
"Hey, cutie!" The feral Nalu chirped, offering her a smile and a flick of her crest. "Is there any chance I can come in to freshen up a little? Ulrica was working late and I don't want to disturb her."
Ah, straightforward as usual. It was refreshing, in a way, but something that drew Nalu up short even as she stepped back to allow her feral self inside. It was strange to see her moving so fluidly, the roll of the feral gryphoness' muscle and hips hypnotising in a way that would simply have not been so for an anthro, tail swishing, thick and plush with a skunk's colouration.
Anthro Nalu inhaled deeply, feeling her sheath stir, though that was pretty normal for that time of day. Like her feral self, brought back with Ulrica (knotted, of course) when she had been rescued from a mishap of a mission, she was a hermaphrodite, but that was such a fact of her life that Nalu hardly thought about it anymore. Whereas it was not common for those in their part of the galaxy, not much fazed her after adventuring with Ulrica, despite her preferring a stronger home-base than Ulrica.
Her home was larger as a result of that and better furnished, even the sofa larger. It was tempting for the feral Nalu to stretch out on but not right then, not when her fur felt clumpy and sticky, her sheath not as fresh as she would have liked, tucked away in the fluff between her hind legs. If there was one creature comfort that she had gotten used to with their technology, or whatever it was that they liked to call it, it was hot baths and showers. Oh, to have a shower in her cave back home?
"If you'd like to go wash off," the anthro Nalu said, smiling faintly, sure that she knew at least a little of what was going on in the other gryphon's head, "feel free to go right on through. I'll get a towel for you -- we picked up a feral-size one for you last time we fetched supplies. I'm sure it'll be better than the little towel we had draped over you last time!"
Comically small, the towel had not covered much of the feral back then, much to Ulrica and Nalu's amusement, though it had ended in the usual of not needing a towel at all, strangely enough, for the lustful activities that were altogether more enticing. They chuckled in turn, feathers lifting as their bodies warmed, though the rush of water from a nice, hot shower was already so alluring that it was all the feral Nalu could do not to rush in there straightaway.
No... It was only the lure of company that kept her where she was, clicking the edge of her beak lightly together as she eyed up the anthro. Oh, she was a little more passive, less forward, but that was all something that she was used to reversing, bringing others out into their true selves. After all, just where was the point in holding back from things that would otherwise add to a life rather than one wishing that they had gone for it.
Watching her anthro self bend over to tidy away a communications device, Nalu's sheath stirred. The sweet anthro was altogether too delectable for her own good, even clothed as she was...
"Why don't you come join me?"
