FUR THE WEEKEND:
A Convention Tail by Davis G. See
Alex isn't sure he's ready for his first furry convention. Between the crowds, the panels, and the spotlight he never asked for, it's enough to make him want to blend into the background.
Then he meets Jamie.
Confident, kind, and quietly magnetic, Jamie shows Alex a glimpse of the self-acceptance he's been chasing for so long.
Over a whirlwind weekend of shared stories, art panels, and a parade that leaves Alex's heart racing, the two grow closer than either expected. When the con ends, they have to decide whether what they've found is just a fleeting moment—or something worth carrying beyond the weekend.
Tender, romantic, and full of heart, Fur the Weekend is a story about courage, connection, and letting someone see the real you.
