Over the Road (Anthro Herm x Male Human Story)

The road north is long and often lonely. Any over the road truck-driver knows the comfort of wanting a safe, warm home to come back to. For Gwen Honeycutt, aka Honey Maple, the highways have become like second nature to her as she hauls freight and cargo for whatever company wants to hire her. She makes friends easily, is beloved by her fellow truckers, but often returns home to her cabin in Alaska alone. Being a big girl like her isn't easy, but she feels pride in who she is, what she does, and finds joy wherever she can.

For hitchhiker Laris Zent, however, his world is very different. Recently thrown into chaos due to family strife, he's left everyone he's ever known behind to make the long, cross-country trip back to the one place he ever truly remembers being happy: the place as a child where he first saw the Northern Lights that he is named after. He has become very jaded and skittish around others after several harrowing encounters, believing that he can trust only himself. All he wants is to be happy again; a fate that he isn't even sure is possible anymore or if his adventure will even bring him closure to his troubled mind.

Their paths converge on the open highway, where life, adventure, and love, have whistled by then like cars on the interstate. Maybe together they can find what they've always been missing.
