The World SF Blog has a new short story by the Croatian writer Milena Benini, called Dancing Together Under Polarized Skies online - click here to access the story.
I found this to be entertaining and interestingly written story around the development of species, uplifting, co-development and more; all the more enjoyable due to the inventive and poetic use of language (yes, she does that on purpose when it looks like 'not proper English').
Milena has a website on SFF.net, where you can find some more of her writing!
