Sheamus O'Mallory misses the good old days. Back when you could smoke without worrying about getting cancer, police work was simple, and Toronto hadn't been rebranded The Neon City, supernatural refuge of the country. Now monsters crawl around every single corner, and while it makes for good business working as a PI in this new neon landscape, he can't help but miss a lot of other creature comforts.<br><br>Things change when he's been tasked to track Jake Ohk, an MIA werewolf who needs to return to his pack in order to fulfill his biological duty in his birth gender. While Sheamus is sympathetic to gender concerns in this new landscape, he knows from his time on the force to not mess with supernatural law. So when he finds Jake, he is determined to bring him back to his pack leader, and wipe his hands clean of the entire affair.<br><br>The night does not go as planned. Even though it is not a full moon yet, there are already far too many changes lurking under Jake's skin to simply walk away and never think of his piercing blue eyes again ...

Creature Comfort

Sheamus sighed. As much as he hated the paparazzi, their presence signaled that the crowd had been correct. The person he was looking at in pink and blue was indeed Joey, the gender bending pop star who was currently all the rage thanks to their most recent pop single called “Forced Magick.” Sheamus didn’t like the song, since it was clearly a rip-off of Prince and Bowie—but his opinion didn’t matter in the music world. Many music critics said Joey used magic to transform their body; many others merely said it was a magic show trick gimmick that outshone the songs; others said they were a clear incarnation of Egyptian Goddess Isis, and they were putting the music scene together piece by piece. None of it really didn’t matter, though, because the sales were still there.


And where there was Joey, Jake—the real target—was most likely close by.
