Downhill into Unfamiliar Territory by MusicFren

The author MusicFren decided to post a fic they originally wrote for the Duck Prints Press Patreon to AO3, so now anyone can read it! This is a super cute story about two runaway pets becoming friends. You should check it out, and shower MusicFren in kudos.

Title: Downhill into Unfamiliar Territory

Author: MusicFren

Summary: A cat and a snake meet while on the run from their owners, and despite their differences, help each other come to terms with their upbringing.

Teaser:

“And get your dirty paws off of my tail!”

The small gray cat mews apologetically as she clambers off of the snake’s tail, slipping like a newborn taking her first steps in the world. She lands heavy in the tall grass, fur shimmering as it becomes damp with morning dew. With a shake, she sends droplets flying in all directions, a cascade of rainbows against the morning mist. Tongue flickering irritably, Sylvian shuts his eyes against the unwelcome barrage.

Give it a read!
