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.

A Halloween Princess, a Halloween witch, and a regular dad were walking down the street from house to house on Halloween. There were so many of these Halloween characters, moms, and dads out on the street as the sun was going down. It was a good thing that normally this was a quiet street, because the kids were running back and forth across from one side of the street to the next. They were trying to hit as many houses as they could before it got dark.

Accidental descent into femininity Chapter 1-3

Accidental descent into femininity

Chapter 1 Background and Recap

I have decided to write a diary, to document what is happening to me. I will have to recap from when it all started, but I am thinking of potentially publishing it anonymously on a TG site. I am hoping in writing this, that others will benefit from my weird life. Anyway, lets start with the recap and probably best to include a bit of background info.

Thundering Force: Chapter 25: “The Coming of the Storms: Part Four: Thunder versus Lightning. Light versus Darkness.”

Chapter Description: Chapter Twenty-Five: We have finally reached the climax of this story.

For two decades, someone has been manipulating the galaxy from the shadows, with Padme Amidala Naberrie and her loved ones suffering the most by being in the center of this manipulation.

Padme has learned who is behind all this suffering, and she is looking for some payback. For someone with the powers of a god, or goddess, revenge can be absolutely biblical. Unfortunately, Padme will soon find the opponent she seeks to be her greatest challenge to date.

Who will win? Who will lose? This roulette has everyone taking a spin with the victor gaining control of the Galactic Republic itself.

DMGC: The Department of Magical Gender Change

When magic spells are cast, some are very specific, but others are vague on the details. If a wizard changes a man into a lovely maiden, he might decide what the new woman looks like and how she's dressed. But what happens if the change is triggered by a magical object, or an ambiguously worded wish? Who determines what standard of beauty to use? Who determines what clothes she's wearing after the transformation and makes sure that it's color-coordinated? Who decides on her hair and makeup? Or imprints skills she may need for her new life? They are...the DMGC.

A whimsical and sexy romp with fairy magic gone awry and their frantic efforts to put things to rights!

Reforms
I

As a result of the many sexual harassment and discrimination scandals, the Fems swept the elections. In no time, they kept their campaign promise and passed the famous Pants Suit Act, more formally the GEA – the Gender Equality Act. With it, gender prejudice became, if not a thing of the past, at least illegal. For example, no one could ask your gender on a legal form or treat you differently based on gender. Mom, who voted Fem, said that was a good thing, so I thought so too.

Things that go bump in the day!!!

We managed to escape around eight thirty. We were too engaged with some of the guests who arrived simply to see the work. Bob and his people did an excellent job of advertising the showing but the result on that day was a surplus of people…strollers…who wandered in after dinner. This was their evening’s entertainment.

“Bet THIS wasn’t how you thought you’d spend the New Year!” Laura teases as we sip our hot, sweet drinks, surrounded by some of our friends, some of our families… And a few people I never thought I’d get the chance to hang out with!

“So then, you two,” the unmistakable voice of Jamie-Lee Milton- one of the most famous transgendered people in the country- asks as she sits down opposite me and Laura. “How long have you got before you’re back at school?”

“Ugh, we go back TOMORROW,” Laura moans.

“Is it, like, the beginning of the end for you two?” Jamie-Lee asks.

Do you want to be 'The Man in the Dress'

Are You ‘The Man in the Dress’?

What have I done – what have I won? What am I doing? Why am I trying on a whole collection of new clothes? Clothes so very unlike anything I have ever worn before.

I’ve put 50 stories up so far. I was aiming for the next one to be kind of special rather than just ‘ok’ !!….. but it’s not up to me to judge. If you feel like hitting the ‘kudos’ button for my stories or for anybody else – please be generous. And maybe even drop a dollar into the kitty for Erin who on our behalf has spent much more money than is sensible.

Note 1: Text in 'Italics and British quotes' is Parseltongue.

Note 2: Once more, I apologize for the bits and pieces of canon dialogue/narration here and there. But some canon scenes are just too good to change much. There's a lot of those in this one, but don't skim through or you'll miss things.

Chapter 8: Lessons Learned

That day was one of the most fun times I had ever had, though the girls quickly got bored and wanted to leave. Thinking that if they got chances to drive a car, they might want to hang around longer.

As I was looking around at other peoples equipment as they started coming into the pit area, I made my way over to Aaron and Roger's table. I hinted around that maybe if they and another friend might try to get Clara and the girls interested in cars, that it might be nicer around here.
