So I'm deep in the Sanders Sides fandom probably to an obsessive level and I've decided to take a shot at writing a popular story. The Descendants AU. Though rather than the Dark Sides being the Isle kids, though Virgil will still be the secretly good son of Maleficent, it'll be the Light Sides. Let's see what kind of story that turns out to be. Virgilant Flare had one purpose. Survive. To do that he twisted and warped into the most cruel, ruthless villain the godforsaken rock of the Isle had ever seen since his Mother; Maleficent. He had two minions(read: friends) at age 16 who he'd gladly kill for if they would just allow it. His friends were good, they deserved Auradon, no reason they couldn't make it their land though. Roman, son of Jafar, was not a street rat. He shines bright, he's brilliant, a royal among peasants. As father said their family deserved the world and more, to be kings with the world at their feet. It was such a nice image. The kind of grace and poise that was worth a man of honor, not a nimble, hapless thief. Perhaps Auradon would be the place to do so. Look out royals here comes King Roman. Us against the world. Those four words gave Patton hope. Let him know that even if Mother's love was out of his reach there was still someone to give to and see happy. His friends always worried about the lack of abandon in him. Baked sweets and smiles were well and good but otherwise he was just a mound of fat taking up space and taking advantage. Auradon would be a new start, the chance to finally be safe and just be friends. Now if only fairy tales were that simple. Twenty long years have gone by; good and evil aren't so distinct anymore as dark forces begin to stir in three friends' dreams. Trigger Warnings: Manipulation, physical and mental abuse, negative relationship with food, unhealthy body image, mentions of neglect and poverty, violence, anxiety, implied violence, implied poisoning, near poisoning, implied toxic friends, and RemRom.

The weekend write in. Prompt tangle. A mans brain is in bit of a mess. August 2021.

Weekend write in, Dec 21(christmas eve) prompt: perfect. Someone is spending sometime at the space station with their dad.

According to her brother, high school sophomore Emily Randazzo has a "GPS brain" which set her route and won't let her try a new one. But as far as Emily is concerned, her whole life has been spent in trials - like trying to decide whether she should live in Brooklyn with her strict Mom or suburban Jersey with her lenient Dad - or trying to figure out how other people's brains work and why hers is so different from theirs - or trying to navigate when she should stand firm in her ways, versus being flexible for others. After so many years struggling to fit in and be happy, Emily finally feels that she's found her lane in life. She's attending an all-girl school that she loves, made some good friends like her bestie Jenny, and set a goal to be accepted to Yale University. So of course she doesn't want to change direction now! However, a weekend visit to the relaxed rules at her father's home puts new detours in Emily's path, starting in the form of two boys: her brother's best friend Kelly, and next-door-neighbor Evan. Soon enough Emily begins to wonder if she should recalculate. Divided between two parents, two states, two boys and the possibilities of two extremely different lives, Emily is trying to figure out who, what and where she wants to be in her future.

About a neurodivergent teenager in a mainstream school. Based on the authors own personal experiences and journey to becoming who she is. This book is about helping young women and teenagers understand why they might think they could potentially be on the spectrum. This book is to help more young women be able to speak up about being themselves and to help them accept it isn't just men who can be diagnosed with hidden disabilities/ difficulties. I hope this book will inspire younger generations to be able to have the confidence to question it being a possibility for themselves.

A seemingly constantly happy boy with a passion for the rain meets someone in need of just a little bit of light, it seems like an easy task at first, showing someone how to be happy just like he is all the time- but maybe he doesn't know himself as much as he thinks he does.

Living in Justin Flaherty's mind has never been easy. Unfortunately, things are about to get much worse... At eighteen years old, most guys are chasing girls or dreams. Justin, on the other hand, wants to draw and be left alone. He's been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but it's more than that. He's in tune with the Dark Energy that surrounds us all, and can see how it controls people's actions. Sometimes, the Dark Energy will give him visions, to help him on the road to enlightenment. When his mother hooks up with a Baptist preacher named David who believes Justin's schizophrenia can be cured with prayer, Justin knows he has to get out-or risk involuntary commitment in a religious facility. After a brush with incarceration, Justin takes off to San Francisco, where his drawings are not just noticed, but admired... Justin's bizarre and beautiful drawings create a stir in the art world. Meanwhile, he's homeless, couch surfing, and trapped in a continuous battle with his mental illness. His salvation is a girl named Liria Czetski with a shady past. They'd met a year ago, and she's appeared in his visions ever since. It turns out Liria has been sharing those visions, something that is a surprise to everyone but Justin... When secrets surface, Justin is forced to realize that being a genius has a downside. Surrounded by people who want to exploit his talent, he must fight not only for his career and freedom, but perhaps for his life...

The other day, a student of mine was telling me how he was really nervous about coming to yet another dyslexia reading program/tutoring. He said in the past he always got so tired of them and disappointed with himself. He would feel like he was progressing when he was there with a tutor but the minute he was home he forgot it and would have to go relearn it all again.

Margaret Kade's career has taken off. She's out of the closet and living with her brother in their new favorite city. She has reconnected with an old friend interested in her wedding business. The further they get into arrangements, the less excited Maggie becomes. What is wrong with her? Could it be time for a big change? Old friendships are complicated, but shouldn't revisiting them with the experience and options of adulthood make a person happy, not devastated and confused?

This story will not get sexually graphic but will include same gender romance, descriptions of neurodiversity and mental illness, and mild 'adult' language.
