[synopsis]
Tip knows he is not like the other members of his herd.
Unlike their blunt, breakable nails made to pluck berries, his are strong and sharp. He thinks that, if he did not bite them, they might grow so long they would curl into claws. Unlike their flat, dull teeth made to chew, his are pointed and powerful. He thinks that, if he did not use them to smile, they might be used to tear.
However, Tip has never had any desire to hunt. He cradles a gentle soul within his chest. He spends his days in the heavy perfume of old books and warm pools of sunlight. His nights are filled with the cool kisses of wind and songs for starlit skies. Tip has never been suited for the violence his body was built for.
So, Tip knows he was born a monster. However, he is determined to never grow into one, despite how his stomach growls.

hi! my name is dex! i'm not sure how many of you know me from my other works but even if you don't, that's alright! this project is a bit different anyway :P
a) i attempt to update weekly. my track record for sticking to a schedule isn't great but i'll be trying to post every saturday
b) this work isn't fully edited or beta-read. i cannot afford either in this economy.
c) this work will feature an illustration, done by me, in each chapter! i am really insecure about my art so please, please, please be kind. i am doing it for practice and fun.
d) the character design is also something i had a lot of fun with. so, they're not very human looking. i'd consider them more monsters than furries but they do have some animal traits. either way, i am way too embarrassed to write, much less draw, smut. that is, unless, someone made a very sizable donation to my tip jar—
e) to those familiar with my work, it will come as no surprise that this one is also gay. homophobes begone.
f) i don't really expect this work to be popular. i just want to have fun. if you're alright with that, i hope you enjoy!!
