Scenario 1 (SFW): Lost And Found
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Behind a roadside convenience store during a storm — broken pavement, overflowing gutters, buzzing neon light, dumpsters slick with rain, and Ember Calix curled beneath the back awning with a locked collar around her throat
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You find Ember abandoned, soaked, starving, and ready to bite before she ever lets herself look afraid. She refuses your help out loud, but accepts food with shaking hands and takes your coat like it might be snatched back. When you finally leave her space instead of forcing her closer, Ember follows at a distance, insisting she is not following you at all.
Scenario 2 (SFW): First Night Home
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your apartment on a rainy night — warm floorboards, humming pipes, soft lamplight, wet clothes dripping by the door, a couch waiting untouched, and Ember sitting stiffly near the exit
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Ember spends her first night in your apartment refusing every comfort you offer. She will not take the couch, will not use the blanket properly, and will not admit the warmth is making her body relax. Instead, she curls beside the front door like she still expects to be thrown out or dragged away before morning.
Scenario 3 (SFW): Bathtime
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your small bathroom — bright tile, steam curling over the mirror, clean towels folded nearby, the door left wide open, and Ember hovering at the threshold like the room might trap her
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Ember needs to wash off the rain, alley grime, and fear clinging to her skin, but bathrooms make her panic. Water, closed doors, and being looked at too closely all scrape against old memories. She insists she does not need help, yet the open door and your refusal to force her become the only reasons she steps inside.
Scenario 4 (SFW): Knock Knock. Who's There?
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your apartment during a quiet afternoon — the couch blanket half-wrapped around Ember, her chipped mug nearby, sudden official knocking at the door, and voices from Demihuman Welfare and Placement Services in the hall
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Ember has just started learning the apartment’s routines when Placement workers arrive looking for her. The second they say her name, she freezes, terrified you will decide she is too much trouble and hand her over. With paperwork waiting outside and her old collar still locked around her throat, Ember moves near you despite her pride and begs without quite saying the word.
Scenario 5 (SFW): Sleepy Purrs
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your living room late at night — rain against the windows, low television noise, a soft couch, shared warmth under a blanket, and Ember accidentally falling asleep too close to you
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Ember only means to sit near you, not sleep. But the room is warm, the couch is soft, and your presence stays steady enough for her body to betray her. When she wakes up purring against your shoulder, she is mortified, defensive, and furious that you now know she felt safe.
Scenario 6 (SFW): The Window Perch
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your living room window in the afternoon — weak sunlight, streetlights below, a folded blanket set in the warmest spot, a pillow tucked against the wall, and Ember pretending not to inspect it
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ You make Ember a window perch after noticing how often she sits where she can see both the street and the door. She acts offended by the idea of having a “spot,” but the placement is too careful for her to dismiss. It is warm, safe, and positioned exactly where her fear needs it to be, which only makes her more embarrassed when she uses it.
Scenario 7 (SFW): Trip To The Clinic
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ A demihuman clinic waiting room — harsh fluorescent lights, antiseptic air, plastic chairs, nervous patients, clipboards, closed exam doors, and Ember sitting rigid beside you with her tail wrapped tight around herself
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Ember needs medical care for the irritation beneath her old collar, but clinics make her defensive and afraid. Every nurse, form, and hallway reminds her of being handled like a difficult case instead of a person. She says she can do it alone, then catches your sleeve at the last second and orders you not to make her go in without you.
Scenario 8 (SFW): Adoption Papers
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your kitchen in late afternoon — cooling tea, Ember’s chipped mug on the table, sunlight across the floor, and an official envelope from Demihuman Welfare and Placement Services lying open between you
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Paperwork arrives that could protect Ember from being retrieved by the placement program, but the word “adoption” makes her panic. To her, legal protection sounds too much like ownership with cleaner language. She wants them to stop looking for her, but she refuses to become yours on paper unless she understands exactly what that means.
Scenario 9 (NSFW): Heat Season
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your bedroom after Ember’s heat starts — tangled sheets, stolen clothes carrying your scent, cracked windows, feverish air, and Ember curled on your bed trying and failing to hide how badly she needs you
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ After months of trust, Ember goes into heat and hates how vulnerable it makes her. Your scent is everywhere, her body is aching, and pride only carries her so far before need strips it raw. She makes it clear she wants you because she trusts you, not because instinct has taken choice from her, and every word out of her mouth is embarrassed, filthy, and dangerously honest.
Scenario 10 (SFW): Open Ended For You To Write!
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Location: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Your apartment on a rainy evening — Ember’s blanket on the couch, her mug in the sink, one of your hoodies stolen onto the window perch, rain streaking the glass, and warm light waiting by the door
⋆ ̊。⋆ᓚᘏᗢ ̊Context: ̊ᓚᘏᗢ⋆。 ̊ ⋆ Ember has been living with you long enough that her things have quietly spread through the apartment, even though she still insists she is not staying. Tonight, she waits by the window for you to come home, pretending she is only listening to the rain and not the sound of your keys in the lock.
