Happiness is a Warm Hound Chapters 1 - 5 by Steph C. I always avoided the first part of the hill when the weather was likely to produce mud, which meant the whole of January and most of February in practice. It wasn’t the mud on the path itself, for that was why wellies existed, but the immense quantity my dogs would collect. They’re not exactly my dogs, of course, so mud meant cleaning them off before returning them to their ‘real’ owners, and I rather liked having some ‘me time’ each day and enough hot water for a bath for myself rather than two or three mud-magnet hounds.

I Was a Teenage Pick Up Girl by Enemyoffun Finley's old sister likes to use him as a subject for her beauty school makeup projects. He has fair skin and soft features. He never fully complains because he knows only a few people will ever see him that way. That is until he's late for work and there's no time to take it off, so he rushes to the bus stop. There he's spotted by a visiting teenage Hollywood heartthrob who wants Finley to become his fake "girlfriend" fix his bad image and to make his ex jealous. The plan doesn't go too well for either of them.

Working Clothes by Columbine Billy came to live with them when all the work that could be done had been done to their living space. He and Raven were almost identical in age and seemed to treat each other as twin brothers, and were inseparable. Peter seemed to manage being a house husband balancing his work with caring duties. When Jill got home she would take over bed time and allow Peter some more work time. Family life is made of routines. Trips out to see the ducks the pond in the park in a double buggy, gave way to play parks, and then to theme parks and so on. The boys were supported by three parents and whilst they were very clear about whose mother was whose, the absence of Billy’s father meant that both boys called Peter … Dad. Raven yearned for something more...

Foxfire and Fury Chapters 1 - 9 by Alyss Nancy Onymous Ethan stared out the car window as the dense New Hampshire forest gradually gave way to the sprawling campus of Whateley Academy. The tall brick buildings with their ivy-covered walls looked like something out of a college brochure—normal, prestigious, safe. Nothing about the place screamed "school for mutants," which was probably the point.

Blindside Chapters 1 - 4 by Steph C. “YOU A GEEZER, OR WHAT?” Volume control wasn’t his strong suit, evidently. Thankfully, the bus was already there, so I stepped on as if he hadn’t spoken, eructated, puked, whatever. Good start to the day. Usual start to the day.
