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.
