The dark figure emerged silently from one of the deeper shadows and quickly stepped into the open space his informant's diagram had revealed. The following ambush was sudden and thorough, but not unexpected.

I looked at him, and there were no indications as to which way he was jumping. Police, professional, woman.
“I can personally tell you more about him than I would like to know, sir, but I can’t break confidence on what my team are doing”
“Not even on my direct order?”
Breathe, Calm. "No sir. Not even on your direct order, not without the authority of the people who may or may not own the information”

Garrus deadpanned.
“… right. Dem waffles.“
He couldn’t keep a straight face however and started grinning, his mouth
watering.
All hard feelings then seemed forgotten and so they went to the table and
ate.

Classes were over, and I maintained a respectable grade point. The girls had gone their separate ways and I had moved into their apartment for the summer. I found out that Frank had pulled himself out of academic probation and was eligible to play football. Sylvia had a summer job at her Dad’s company, which meant that she had to work on Monday and Tuesday, the only days I had off. I would really miss her.
Before we all went our ways for the summer, Sylvia had an astute observation, “You’re going to be dressed for five of the seven evenings of the week, so why not make if full time until college starts in the fall?”
“That’s a good idea,” I responded, “that way I can have my hair done in a really feminine style, and maybe have some highlights. That way I won’t have to change the style all summer.”
“So you’ll be Jean the whole summer?” Sylvia wanted to know.

CHAPTER 31
I looked down at his hand, and then at his eyes, trying to hold my courage close and tight so that it couldn’t escape. Blake just nodded, and turned to my parents.
“Baby steps at the moment, Mark, Dot. Di’s the one in the driving seat”
That gave me something else to talk about, which I urgently needed.

Moving house can be a hassle,
Moving house with magic is, presumably, meant to be a bit easier?
Moving house with John’s help would likely be...
...Yeah, not the best idea in the world, is it?...
Events unfold including but not limited to:
The sun being discussed,
Taxi rides being (relatively) skipped over in silence,
and explanations of events are exchanged, much to both sides confused frustration.

Time on My Hands
Chapter 5: 195 CE: Tending to Romans
A few minutes later the centurion led Raben into a two story stone home. The moans of his wife could be heard as soon as they entered. Without hesitating he ran up the stairs and into the room where the moaning woman lay on a bed. The midwife and the healer were ineffectively tending to the woman.
“Have you given her anything?” Raben asked as he moved to the woman’s side and began to gently palpitate her swollen tummy.
“Who are you?” The healer asked indignantly as he tried to maintain control.
“I’m an Ianuarian,” Raben declared. “Now answer my question! What have you given her?”
“Get out,” The healer demanded. “You’re too young to know what to do.”
“The baby is turned,” Raben declared as he glared at the healer. “It’s too late to try to properly realign it. That should have been done when labor began. It will never come out naturally.”

Into The Light (Part 6 of 6)
by Erisian
Chapter Twenty-Two - Power
Saturday and Sunday were a blur. True to her word, Jenna escorted me to each meal plus all the exams they kept throwing at me. In addition to the ones on Friday, they assigned World History, U.S. History (yeah, they made them separate tests), Chemistry (ugh), Biology (double ugh), Physics, Theology, and even Computer Science. Yes, they added a few to the original list Rabbi Kirov had previously rattled off.
By the time I finished the last one I was readily convinced I was an ignorant idiot. Whoever was organizing these damn things was expecting college graduate level knowledge as far as I could tell. And theology, really? Why bother giving me that one? Other than general knowledge from reading the Bible in high school and whatever myths I had enjoyed in my role-playing game years (alright, so at least I had some passing familiarities with a few pantheons), I was fairly lost when it came to the finer questions regarding various sects and their unique interpretations of whatever scriptures their groups had declared to be holy. My exam booklet was entirely blank across vast sections other than a comment I wedged in the middle of a question about Sodom and Gomorrah where I wrote, ‘Angels are real. I met one. She was nice’.
Let’s see them grade that, ha!

Role Reversal
Part Ten of Ten
by Ray Drouillard
I wrote this over ten years ago. It was essentially finished, but I somehow never considered it ready for posting. Or, at least, it had gone as far as I was inspired to take it. It kinda begs for a sequel, but it's fine as it is.
It's big. It took some time to edit. Especially since I needed to change the dates so that it wouldn't be so... well... dated.
Much thanks to Terry Volkirch for test reading it way back when. She might even remember the story.
One fine day, Joe wakes up and finds that his whole life has been turned upside-down.
Thursday, June 16, 2022:
Snrxl and I had a nice chat last night. I told him about how Butch is doing such a good job of embracing his role, and he said that Butch wasn't the only one who needed those experiences to properly embrace his persona. After our training session, I did the usual ten seconds and down for the count thing. I have come to really enjoy that.

The Girl Most Likely To … - Part 62
By Barbara Lynn Terry
Chapter 1 – Debra goes home.
At nine o’clock the next morning, Ms. Joan Wells, the superintendent of the Pine Meadows Home For Adolescent Girls, called all the staff of the main house together. This was an informal conference, so it was held in the dining room. The girls were all in school.
“Mrs. Sanger, this is your meeting. Tell us as best as you can, why the judge discharged Debra on such short notice.”

My name is Maeryn McNiall, Wolf's Daughter. My father was a veritable giant of a man by the name of Wilhelm McNiall, also called Wolflord.
Even though I lived with my father through my early years, I never really got to know the man. It wasn't until after I took to the high seas in my eighteenth summer that I found out he had been a famed warrior on the mainland which is where he met my mother long ago.

He sat unmoving for a few seconds before reaching across to take my right hand with his left.
“Are you sure, Di? Don’t want you thinking I’m putting pressure on you. I’m not, not at all”
My insides were melting with terror, but I had made my decision. Heart, he had said, heart and soul.
“Shut up and get on with it, Blake!”

Melody and Arielle didn't have much time to catch up.
"Unfortunately, Dad wants to see you as soon as you are unpacked."
"Give me five minutes," said Melody, even as she turned and hurried towards the bedroom.
"Five minutes?" said Arielle, laughing. "How unladylike!"

Amy! Why? And Maria’s wedding.
Amy had spent the first part of this week gathering together copies of our college transcripts and letters of recommendation for herself. And we both had filled out the transient student registration applications.
Then on Friday when Amy and I had gotten together to come home, she was very quiet. She had something on her mind.
She was quiet all the way home, and when we got there, she took my hand, and said, “Tommy. Let's go sit on the porch.”
She led me out onto to porch and to the glider. We sat and cuddled for a little while, then Amy said, “Tommy. Honey. You’re going to hate me.”
“Never.”, I said.
“Yes, you will.”
“Why?”
“I …
