Pestilential Tide

Death waited by the riverbank of Hamelin.

A black tidal wave rose and collapsed, narrowly missing the tabby running from the giant swarm of rats.

Wild-eyed, claws out, the cat growled around the ancient rat trapped in his maw, swatted fiercely at the rodents that came too close, shook off the ones that jumped on his back, without slowing down.

Puss jumped into the river, claws gripping a drifting log. The rats tried to swim to their captured leader. They got swallowed by the wild currents like black foam.

"You’re giving me a real workout," Death shook his head fondly.

Words Unspoken

Jack Horner’s wish had cataclysmic consequences.

All magical creatures were stripped of their powers or disappeared outright. Those who remained were entirely at the mercy of an all-powerful tyrant.

Puss could no longer talk, wield a sword, or stand on his hind legs. But he remembered who he was.

The wolf remembered him too. Puss had known as soon as they had met again, red eyes locked on green.

He looked from the cat to the former pie factory turned magical fortress. They were headed the same way.

Words were unnecessary. Their intent was clear:

‘We’ll take him down together.’

I just posted chapter 9 of The Golden Hourglass!

Only one chapter to go before the end!

In the meantime, I will be participating in DeathPuss Week (see the details on this post): I will be posting one drabble per day for the event, from June 15th to June 21st. I hope you like them!

You know what? I'll do it too.

Expect one daily SFW Death in Boots drabble (exactly 100 words) for each prompt posted on my AO3 account when the event starts.

Happy Pride Month, everybody!

What are you going to do for pride month?

Chapter 6 of The Golden Hourglass is here at last!

And yes, the chapter count went up again, hopefully for the last time; nine is a good number for this story. (And Puss in Boots: The Last Wish fanfiction in general.)

Enjoy!
