This is one of the best creature fics I've read, and I think I love it so much because the author doesn't romanticise it. It's real, the pain, the transformation, the hard parts of losing yourself and turning into an animal, you can feel those on this story.

But there's so much more than that, too. There's self-sacrifice, too, selflessly. And that makes more than just a creature fic, also a love story in its own way.
