“Mr Charlton, unless you are prepared to tell me your troubles I really see no point in us continuing these sessions. Well?”
I’m Paul Charlton and I’m sitting ‘in the Psychiatrists Chair’. I was here because I'd lost it in a very big way and had a breakdown. That breakdown had led to the end of my marriage and thence to me becoming homeless and virtually penniless. Now three years later I was trying to rebuild my life but one huge thing was getting in the way. That was my secret.
I didn’t reply straight away. That didn’t matter to Dr Yacub Pakker, my Psychiatrist.

From a great distance away, it had been lost in the clouds. The closer the wagons neared, it loomed over the treetops and could be seen for miles and miles around. "Mount Hood," Gideon whispered in awe.
"That's a huge hill, Pa!" Cade chirped as he looked on between his parents, "Are we going to have to cross it?"
"Oh dear, I hope not," Hanna sighed fearfully.
"No son, we will skirt the south end of it and move on from there." He glanced at the both of them, "Next big stop will be the Willamette Valley!"

For the first time since my new life began, I didn't wake with the rising sun. Lauren and Jimmy were all ready up and I
could hear hushed sounds coming the kitchen area. I went to the restroom first, then went to greet my family.

In all the chaos, Mrs. Weasley had forgotten to be uncomfortable with a girl sleeping in one of her boy's rooms, but when Iliana came downstairs that morning for breakfast, her appearance seemed to remind the Weasley matriarch of it.

The Riddle of Sappho
by EE Nalley & ElrodW
Canto V
Now she runs away, but she'll soon pursue you;
Gifts she now rejects--soon enough she'll give them;
Now she doesn't love you, but soon her heart will
Burn, though unwilling.
Hymn to Aphrodite, Sappho

Agent Ryan tapped her desk top, taking very slow, deep breaths to keep from yelling at the incompetent excuse of an MCO agent who was standing shamefaced before her. She'd had to send an intern to pick up Agent MacArthur, from some little no nothing town on Christmas eve, and now when she should be reading “The Night Before Christmas” to her youngest, she had to deal with a total mess.

My psychic link with Serenikha had held steady all through high
school, growing no stronger but no weaker, ever since my first trip to
her world. I still shared dreams with her, and I still had occasional
moments of aphasia, where I couldn’t think of a word in English,
only in one of Serenikha’s languages. And then, my first
semester in college, it suddenly seemed to get a lot weaker — I
shared no dreams at all with her, and had much less aphasia than
usual.

She looked like a rabbit in headlights, checking around for someone to support her.
“Inspector Powell, aye?”
Sod it. I initiated a hug; get the personal space closed down before she runs, Lainey.
“Annie now, isn’t it? Sar told me the story, no way I could miss out on this one, so we brought the family, aye? You know Siân, my missus?”

Once Faith got outside the testing building, she found Talia waiting for her.
“All taken care of?” Talia asked.
“Yeah, for now. I ... have a lot to learn, though.”
“Well, you are at a school. Come on, you must be hungry. Let’s go eat.”
When they got to the cafeteria, Talia noticed a white-haired girl waving at them.
“Oh, look!” She said to Faith, “I wanted you to introduce you to Arwen anyway.”

I massaged my leg which was horribly scarred as people worked on the estate that was spread out before me. People, humans and others, were tending gardens, herding reindeer, cleaning the steps of the mansion which looked like it was made of ice. They were the people I had helped save, and their descendent. Watching them creating beauty in the frozen north, even with the odd perspective from having a single eye, and knowing that my once strong muscles had wasted away over the years of pain that never went away and my own lameness, made it worthwhile.

Saturday
The next morning, we all wake up and start the day. It's so wonderful waking up to people you love. We all head to the
tub, for a pleasant start of the morning. The bubbles and jets make the water effervescent. Margie waddles in and asks,
"My I try the bubbly pool?"
Jimmy says, "Of course Margie."

*Before…
I shrug and smile. “I have my secrets it’s part of my charm.”
Link looks frustrated and amused at the same time. “It is dammit.”
I finish my coffee and I start getting everything on and finish it all with leather gloves those thin ones you see as the fancy type on TV as presents and stuff for women and black combat/hiking boots.
I’m moving around and getting a feel for it and Link looks at me and gives me a thumbs up while she’s yawning. “Looks good kinda paramilitary though.”
“I wanted lots of pockets.”
“I thought that you’d go all cape and cowl spooky like.”
I look at her as I’m actually fitting my gear in to all the pouches and pockets and slots. “No capes.”
*And Now…

Chapter 9: Marriage and Renewal
Adelle and Sean were clearly shocked by Jenken’s girlishness and more than a bit of their prejudice showed.
“I’m Jen,” the pretty little girl explained. “On top of being so precocious I’m also intersexed. While I usually present in boy-mode, I feel girl mode is better for the wedding.”
While a bit shocked, Adelle and Sean once more realized Jenken was like no other person they’d ever met and begrudgingly accepted the explanation. Judy, JJ and Jane were preparing back-packs with treats for the wild-life and supplies needed for the wedding. Jane had three digital cameras, two for filming the wedding and a third for snapshots. Adelle and Sean questioned Misty about her Wiccan beliefs. The pair were lapsed Catholics, having lost the their faith in the tough business world. The rote religion had lost all validity for them. At 6:30 they headed down to the Raven’s Perch for a light meal. The staff and patrons were not really surprised to see Jenken dressed as a girl. Jenken calmly explained that because of the injuries he’d suffered in vitro his split brain had developed two distinct personalities, one a boy, the other a girl which meant that at least mentally and probably physically he was intersexed. With a bit of telepathic soothing of ruffled feathers everyone accepted the explanation. To them it was merely another aspect his uniqueness. It was the first Adele and Sean had been made aware of Jenken’s in utero injuries. Judy and JJ explained the details of the injuries and that for Jenken to even be alive was a miracle. It was 7:00 when they shouldered the packs and began the trek.

“Ah Miss Ellie, did those charter parties arrive today.”
Ellie’s boss, Miss Beverly had just returned from London and her voice carried through the door even as she entered the little dockside office. Ellie looked up; smiled because she was always glad to see her employer, and nodded her head.
“Yes, I’ve left a brief analysis on your desk. Did you not get my text message?”

Bonnie Tyler is not the only one who needs a hero. Sometimes even those who seem equipped to handle everything on their own need one just as much. Maybe they don't need him to be strong, fast or fresh from the fight, but they probably don't want him to be a zero.
Fortunately, it is easy to turn a zero into a hero. First you brace the bottom left of the Z, then tie a rope to the top bar and pull until it rotates to form an N. Now reinforce both upright bars, before disconnecting the middle connector. Take the connector and cut it to fit between the two bars. Lastly, fasten the newly sized bar midway up the two vertical bars to form an H. There you go, you now have a H ero.

I have a wide grin on my face as I hold up the small, brightly-coloured CD case, turning my face so that each of the cameras can get a clear view of me- and, of course, the CD, which is the real star of the show.

Authors Notes: This is a fanfiction set in the Whateley Universe.
Also sorry about the long delay and the fact that it's still not done. I've been fighting some kind of sinus infection since October that made it feel like I couldn't breathe. It's getting better now, but I'm still not near 100%. Between that and a few special projects I was getting nothing else done.
