In a desperate bid to revive his flagging career, a young star on a sci-fi show concocts an elaborate publicity stunt to come out as transgender. But what happens when he becomes entangled in his web of lies?
It's been awhile! For the last few years, life's journey has been taking absolutely everything I have to give it. However, I have cranked out this modern take on the theme of the Fates messing with your life, thrusting you into the kind of situation that makes you feel trapped and teaching you the harsh lesson that control is an illusion. Writing about that metaphorically was a great exercise that I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope you enjoy this story!
Gabriel is a survivor.
In the falling apart and sinking city of Verrencia, you have to be.
Especially if you are an orphan living on the streets and channels of this once great city.
His lucky break comes while hunting for treasure in an abandoned shop.
Not knowing that it will transform not just his life and set things in motion outside of his control.
(This story in the "undesirable classes" universe can be read without reading previous stories.)
When Andy finds a genuine Genie bottle he mistakes it as junk.
Giving it to his best friend, Kyle. A mistake of epic proportions, as Kyle knows exactly how to exploit a genie. Or does he?
This story won't end with just one instance of being screwed over.
Trapped as a shapely French maid and hiding out from the mob, a smart-mouthed rogue must prevent his family from unwittingly being drawn into a criminal scheme even as he is confronted by his two most remorseless adversaries: Mom and Dad. It's a twisty whodunit with a thrilling hovercraft chase that--wait. No, it's not. It's a spirited comic romp with snappy banter, money laundering, and unspeakable acts with a ripe pineapple!
Hilarity ensues when a smart aleck on the run finds himself hiding behind a petticoat and a feather duster in order to elude the gangster who wants him dead. (Or maybe just wants him, period!) A fun and lighthearted comedy of errors filled with elaborate deceptions, mistaken identities, and a guy stuffing his boobs into a French maid's costume! What's not to like?
“Hi my full name is Alex Damion Marteau and I’m. Well currently I’am 18 but in this story I will be telling you about when my life got turned upside down and changed both me and my family forever...”
CHAPTER 34 - You may not always end up where you thought you were going, but you will always end up where you were meant to be.
Ellen, Beth, and Nancy stood watch over his bed in the hospital holding hands and staring down at the shattered body of Heather who looked like a mummy covered from head to toes in bandages. Derrick walked into the room and asked, "What happened? I heard Heather had been in a car accident."
Ellen sobbed, "Not exactly. He was shot three times while driving to the grocery store."
Serininas adventure continues. She prepares her expedition to Sparta, fights the Greek blockade of Troy and faces intrigue in the Palace. On top of it all her relationship with Aries developed.
CHAPTER 33 - Happiness can be a dangerous thing; it can make you greedy for more.
The next morning, Ellen had to wake Heather up because she had been worn out from the night’s activities. It was a rush getting ready for their flight. Ellen had kept their destination a guarded secret. Heather asked, "Where are we going?"
As they waited in line to check into the airline. Ellen relented, "Honey trust me, you’ll love it. It will be two bodacious babes on the beaches of Bali for seven days and nights."
I recently found a diary washed up on the shore.
It bears witness to the demise of an island no one remembers.
Retells the fate of a young teenager and a mystery unfolding.
Maybe I should have burned it, but then again, what harm is there to share it?
CHAPTER 32 - It's perfectly okay to make a decision and then change your mind. Being able to change your mind is the best way to find out you still have one.
A Marvel X-Men Fanfiction starring Wolverine and Jean Grey
The thirst for a life now shattered permeates our thirteenth issue. Logan and Scott have rescued Storm from Sabrettoth’s lair, but at great personal cost. A cost that may soon be felt by Jean just as acutely. Logan must now find a way to move forward, to seize the chance at a life when everything feels as if it has turned to ashes in her mouth. And even with Sabretooth dead, Magneto continues to plot and plan, with mutants seemingly willing to sacrifice their lives for his “cause”. Can Logan hope to overcome her deep emotional wounds to find it in herself to care enough to continue to fight? And exactly what will she fight for?
CHAPTER 31 - Around 50 % of marriages in the United States end in divorce.
Ellen was extremely apprehensive about her husband and their future together. He had been so depressed lately that she never knew what to expect when she arrived home each night. Heather had even taken to sleeping in the spare bedroom on most nights, claiming it was so Ellen could be assured a good night’s rest.
Heather was not the same after his near sexual assault.
Too make matters worse, Ellen continued to date men on occasion. One Saturday night, more accurately Sunday morning, Heather watched from the bedroom window as Ellen walked her date to the door and threw her arms around his neck and kissed him goodnight.
This chapter exhibits even more of Ellen's selfish behavior at her husband's expense. Heather deals with her antics as best he can, but things will get better for Heather.
We are sure that Ellen's attitudes and behavior are exaggerated as we have NEVER met anyone who acted like Ellen before.

CHAPTER 29 - A flight to freedom, lands in the valley of disappointment.
CHAPTER 27 - Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year. One of the reasons is it spends very little on office supplies.
There was a collective gasp from George and Ellen. George was the first to speak, "I can’t imagine that they would be interested in a small fish like me."
Fred nodded in agreement. "Don’t underestimate their determination and thirst for vengeance. They want to make examples of you both.
After both Santa and herself undergo titillating transformations into buxom babes on Christmas Night, Sammie the Elf must confront the council of elven elders, but can she convince them that Santa in her sexy new form is an improvement on the old gift-giver or must she take more drastic action?
Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and even Father Time are all beings thought to be imaginary, but they are very real. Sometimes they get into mischief and not always in a fun way. Beware! You just might get caught up in their hi-jinks.
Chapter 26 - The first day at a new job is always stressful
The next morning, Ellen ran a bath for her husband. As he soaked, she laid out his outfit for the day. Stepping out of the bath water, he dried off and went through to the bedroom, being uncomfortable at his nakedness. He rushed to the dresser to get something to cover his nudity. Ellen was there waiting for him. She opened her drawer and naughtily pulled out a black lace thong and panty set then handed them to him.
CHAPTER 25 -If you don’t like something, change it, if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.
Needless to say, Ellen was thrilled. It was getting late and they had to pick up Ariel from the sitter. Ellen put her daughter in her car seat, but, rather than heading home, she drove to the mall.
George felt a sinking in his stomach and asked, "What’s up?"
"Dear I am sorry; it appears you are going to have to stay as Heather for a while longer."
"Wait a minute! I said I would help. I never said anything about doing it as Heather."
It was a heavenly break before each of us went home to our summer jobs and
preparing to leave home for college the next fall. We did get together
frequently that summer as we looked forward to the next big step in our lives.
For the first time in six years we would be starting school without the
support of the full Posse. It was a bittersweet time.
CHAPTER 23 - I put off getting dressed en-femme as long as I could. But in the end, it didn’t change anything.
Upon their arrival, they had a light lunch. George was so stressed out from the shopping trip that he stretched out on the couch to watch TV and maybe catch a catnap. Within minutes, he was sound asleep. Ellen left the dishes for Heather to do when he awoke from his nap and headed back to the mall to do some serious shopping.
"Oh my," Susie had looked surprised at my blush, "you think he's cute too, don't you?"
"In a shy kind of way," I had admitted, "but then again, so are a lot of
other boys."
"That's because they are all in love with you," Kelley had claimed, "but
don't want to deal with your parents."
"By the way," I had changed the subject, "Someone told me that Amanda
and her sidekicks are up
to their old tricks again. There is a freshman girl that we need to go talk to."
"My goodness," Susie said with exasperation in her voice, "when is that bitch
going to learn?"
"I guess that I will have to have another talk with Amanda at cheer practice
after school," Kelley sighed.
I don't recall thinking any more about the interchange with Pete until we met
again that snowy December evening several years later.
CHAPTER 22 - My body does not define who I am. I’m still a man in my soul.
A week later they got a call the doctor wanted to see them to get the results of all the tests. George in his suit and tie returned to the doctors. The receptionist was kind enough to watch the baby while George and Ellen were in seeing the doctor.
A Marvel X-Men Fanfiction starring Wolverine and Jean Grey
As we continue the twists of the twelfth issue in part two, Logan and Scott are deep inside Sabretooth’s hideout as they try to rescue Storm. But things are already diverging from their plans. A cloaked ship and a new mutant are also there, adding to the mystery. Unfortunately, Logan has discovered that Don has come on the mission and she now has to worry about him. What will happen when Logan finally encounters Sabretooth?
All in all, the emotional and social issues of middle and high school were the biggest challenges,
which was why I stayed there in the first place. The school work, for the most part, required little effort.
School would have been boring if it wasn't for my friends, volleyball, and the social challenges.
I was glad that I had my college courses and work with Tom to challenge me intellectually during these years.
If I thought that living with a pregnant woman was a challenge during Sandra’s
first pregnancy, I soon found out that dealing with a couple of hundred girls
going through puberty all in one place was probably worse, if not its equal. Throw in approximately
the same number of boys going through their own puberty and you have a real
hotbed of hormonal emotional turmoil. I don’t know how my mother had dealt with
kids in this state of being for her whole career. I NEVER want to be a middle
school teacher.
We were home in Wisconsin in time to go out on the town for a celebratory
dinner. Being in the role of a twelve-year-old, I had to settle for a Pepsi for
the toast to our new beginning. The fact that Sandra couldn’t indulge in alcohol
either, due to her pregnancy, made me feel a little better.
I officially took up permanent residence in my princess suite that night.
Later, after the girls had gone home to spend the evening with their families, I
was satisfied that I had a solution to the problem that my ‘advisors’,
psychologist, and I had been trying to solve for a couple of months now. I had
found a natural way to connect with girls my ‘age’. And, as predicted, it turned
out to be a great way to learn how to truly become a girl.
I went to spend the evening with my parents where my mother and I had a long chat
about my new group of friends. She agreed that the girls were good for me. She
had been impressed with the group when we were on the sailboat together.
I ended up staying the night and the next day was
spent doing mother/daughter things with my mom.
Mixed, Shaken and Stirring Chapter 1
Let's Do the Timewarp
By Tels
Scott "Scotty" Lewis spent nearly his whole life trying to Activate, but it happens when he least expects it and he is sent back into his own past to find that everything has changed, and not necessarily for the better. (This story takes place in Amethyst's Hyperverse.)
Eventually, the time came for the couple to leave the reception. The wedding
party had all gotten together to decorate the Rolls Royce parked at the top of
the circular driveway. It had all the traditional streamers, signs, tin cans,
etc. and was ready to go. About the time we finished with the car, we heard the thumping of helicopter rotors
approaching. I had slapped my forehead. Of course, I had thought, what does a rich guy do to make a
statement?
The helicopter landed on the front lawn and the happy couple was soon airborne
and heading into the night to the well wishes of the assembled guests. Before they left, Sandra told me that she still
didn't know where they were going.
After Tom and Sandra had made their exit, the party started to slowly break up.
I had been exhausted when I finally slipped into bed at the hotel well after midnight. I fell
asleep with a sense of peace and wondering where the happy couple had gone.
CHAPTER 20 - There is an intimate relation between curing and caring.
They kept Ellen for a couple of days in the maternity ward. George could only visit in the evenings as he spent the days at the police headquarters being debriefed by the feds. By the time they were done with him and he hurried to the hospital, he never found the time to go shopping for male clothes. He showed up every day for his interrogation in a freshly washed and ironed maids’ outfit.
Fitz would never have thought it would end this way.
Trapped in a corner, by someone he dismissed as harmless.
The very girl he admires relies upon him for protection.
And now, it was time for a bad ending.
But what if he refuses to give up?
CHAPTER 19 - Women are like police, they can have all the evidence in the world but they still insist on a confession.
He inquired if he could come in. His intentions of looking for George were laughingly obvious. Ellen invited him in and led him to the kitchen table where she asked if he would like a cup of coffee. She began the process of brewing a pot. While her back was turned, he stood and asked if he could use the bathroom. Again, she was sure he was looking for evidence of a man in the house.
It was glaringly obvious that my parents did not want to be there when they first arrived
for Sunday dinner, but by the
time the evening was over they were much more relaxed. Dad seemed to
warm to Tom faster than my mother did. At Sandra’s insistence, they agreed to
attend the Wisconsin reception where they ended up getting to meet and visit
with
Tom’s parents. At the reception, the Judge and his wife apologized to my parents
for Tom taking away their daughter-in-law. It took a while, but Mom eventually
warmed up to Tom and admitted that my living with Tom and Sandra was probably the
better option. She still wanted to keep in touch with me, a contact that I also
wanted to, and did, continue.
