Waterways is an anthropomorphic novel by Kyell Gold, with cover and interior illustrations by Cooner. Taking place in the Forester Universe, the story focuses on Kory, an otter, and Samaki, a black-furred red fox, fumbling through their friendship and more throughout their last years in high school. However, when Kory starts to have feelings for the fox, his entire world collapses into itself, and he, with the help of his brother Nick, friend Malaya, and Father Joe, needs to pull himself out of the rapids into the new waterways that make up his life.Waterways was released in 2008, winning the 2008 Ursa Major Award for Best Novel.There is an upcoming short film adaptation of Waterways by the same name.

Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: As soon as Celia learned that Kory was gay, she promptly kicked him out. Sal too, ended up kicking Kory out after Kory refused to give him a hand-job. Although Kory tried to make up with the latter, he doesn't reciprocate.

Snark-to-Snark Combat: Every character engages in this with someone else. Usually it's Kory, Samaki and/or Malaya.

Coming-Out Story: Less "coming-out" and more "coming-to-terms," however.

Cure Your Gays: Discussed, but not part of the story. Kory suspects that his mother had several camps for this lined up, among other behaviour camps.
