Jace is going through the struggles of his therianthropy, gender identity, and mental health issues. On top of it all, his best friend has signed him up for a school race. He needs to juggle all of this, all while making sure his sister and friends are okay.
Brooklyn is a girl who seems to have everything figured out for herself. This is not true. She's dealing with making sure her brothers are safe, keeping her friends in check, and her therianthropy. Just to tie it all together, she has to move across the country for a 3 month-long school event.
Do not take this fanfic as the end-all be-all for therianthropy. Therianthropy is an extremely personal identity, and one fanfiction about my own OCs can't tell you if you're a therian or not. It is different for everyone, including me and my characters. I can give general advice for alterhumanity, but you have to figure it out on your own. I also include gear, vocals, and quadrobics for all of the therians in this, but none of those are necessary to identify as a therian!

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld.
*****
When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
