The mini pack and the povs are a favorite, as always. :)

Ooooh maaan I loved this! I love more of HQ, and I love you giving voice to characters who are usually just background. Alice in particular: it's great seeing her have a chance to really be the mearh that she is, rather than just being clustered in with the other horses.
I love the language system you use for both the wolves and horses. They respectively make excellent use of canine and equine body language, and I especially love the detail that the horses can only naturally express themselves in present tense, since an herbivorous prey animal generally lives moment-to-moment.
I still haven't read any Discworld because I am a terrible person with no free time, but I rather feel like I know pretty much all I need to know of them from your portrayal of their culture. Great seeing them get a home of their own in HQ, all these years after Kippur first "recruited" them. I love that they've essentially fashioned themselves into a security department of sorts, possibly without even realizing the official ones exist?
Poor Blue. Blue deserves a visit from some friends, hS!
I find the idea of a cemetery in HQ rather sweet, actually. It would be a quieter place to visit a loved one's resting place than having to walk through crowds at New Caledonia.
Heh. What a finale, after going through all that mystery, just to have a mimed performance with only one word of dialogue. I love it! Very PPC.
I have one question, about this line:
Renegade PPCers? Ispace? The EPC? The Quill?
Since the first three are all fandom-based enemies, I assume the Quill is as well? I don't think I've heard of them before, though. Where is that from?

And I wasn't disappointed.
More of General POV, that is. He is the best.
Or is it a she? It? They? I dunno. The creature of ambiguous gender is the best.

That was fun. ^_^ So, now it's to be a four-way truce between the horses, the wolves, the Feegle, and the povs?
(And, darnit, now I'm mad I didn't get around to writing my story that would've given Delroch a new name and him and Alice offspring of their own...)

A nuanced language, indeed!
And the reasonable leaders continue to be reasonable, much to the relief of all involved.
Also, horse language doesn't normally have a past-tense, if I understand that part right? Interesting...
And the reveal made me laugh. XD
THESE REVEALS, THEY ARE LIKE OGRES... They come in LAYERS.
What Cats were Blue running from, again?
Lastly: I want a SNRF- I mean, a POV!
Just a short, sweet story about life outside missions. by

In other words, my favourite kind of PPC writing. =]
Not much else to say on that score. It was interesting to see the different points of view and different narrators - none of them human - and the writing was light and well-made. It's a quite simple story, and I enjoyed it very much.
Also, I love that my abiding contribution to this mad shared universe can be summed up in a single word:-
