''Waterways'' is an anthropomorphic novel by Creator/KyellGold, with cover and interior illustrations by [[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/cooner/ Cooner]]. Taking place in the [[Literature/OutOfPosition 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.
''[[http://www.kyellgold.com/books/waterways.html Waterways]]'' was released in 2008, winning the 2008 Ursa Major Award for Best Novel.
