Chapter 3

I called Marilyn the next morning, before I left the motel. She told me that there was a car park on Portland Terrace, not far from the office, and to park there if I got to Southampton before the office closed. She would contact Gloria to get another key cut for the house and the office for me. I took my time going east, my car wasn’t as swift as Marilyn’s.

Stuck in the Middle


In this Chapter, Emily struggles with the lingering weight of her nightmares as she faces another session with Dr. Hart. Memories of her past mix with the fears she carries, making it hard to separate what was from what still haunts her. Through Dr. Hart’s steady guidance, she begins to grasp the idea of grounding herself, of taking small steps to loosen the hold of the past. As she leaves the session, the looming approach of adoption day stirs a mix of excitement and uncertainty. With New Year’s Eve just a day away, Emily finds herself standing at the edge of a new beginning, torn between holding onto the past and learning to trust in the future.

Southern Sunlight


The Prequel to “Stuck in the Middle


In this Chapter, the simple rhythm of a Monday unfolds with the warmth of home, the steady hands of hard work, and the quiet magic of small adventures. Between morning chores, tracking a runaway mule, and playful moments with Papa, the day is filled with the kind of lessons that don’t always come from words. As evening settles, the comfort of family, good food, and fireflies remind Emily that some days are meant to be savored, down to the very last bite of peach cobbler.

Albert Smirnov was hobbling down an alley making his way to the grocery store. Three boys confront him. Two in the front, one big one in the back. This was normal for Albert. The three boys always bullied and abused him for having one leg along with his feminine nature. He knew what was coming next.

“Hey, cripply faggot!” shouts the strawberry blonde boy beside one of his friends.

“Hey, Grant.” Albert sheepishly greets. The boy behind him pushes him down.

How much of a woman?

How much of a woman could I make myself into – on the outside? I’m fifty, fat and full of wheeze – as a vulgar version of the song goes. And how can I satisfy girl-inside – who has been hiding since I was a kid. Was I aiming to be an old age mutton-dressed-as-lamb girly, or a strong woman-of-age?

What might happen if the woman who lived in the flat upstairs had the power to redefine reality? This is the story of the courtship of Robert and Janet as they get to know each other and ‘edit’ the universe together. Oh... and did I mention that she likes her men girly? A science fiction story set in present-day Edinburgh with a slow-burning transgender theme.

It was the day of Halloween. I had just gotten together my costume and now I’m sitting on my bed thinking of the past, future, and present. Melancholy took me as I thought. Nostalgia swept over me like the gusting winds of autumn. For the past four years, I have been going to Eldritch High school. During that time, I’ve made very little friends as I prefer it like that. Too many friends seemed useless when you can have one or two best friends who actually care for your wellbeing. I have only one friend who has been with me throughout these humble four years of my life.

Harry Potter and the Trouble With Neurotypicals 31

Harry Potter and the Trouble With Neurotypicals: Book Four.
Or, "Autistic Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

Notes: I do not own this. J. K. Rowling does. This is just fan fiction. No money is being made. Not by me, anyway.

There may be a few bits and pieces lifted word-for-word from the canon material. I tried to do that as little as possible, though, but there's a lot more in this one than usual because it was unavoidable. Still, lots of details are changed, so don't skip by familiar parts or you might miss something.
