    When a man steals a selkie woman's pelt, she is trapped on land with him in human form, separated from the sea and her selkie family. She fights him at first. But, as the years pass, the lack of her pelt and the loneliness slowly drain the life out of her. And she soon starts getting desperate, drowning in despair and willing to do anything to escape... Will she find her pelt and get back to the sea and her family? Will she give in to her kidnapper and make a life on land? Or will she perish, imprisoned forever by her captor? And how far will she go to regain her freedom? Trigger Warnings: Mentions of drowning, kidnapping, unwanted children, abandonment, and depressive and suicidal thoughts.

    A Fictional Memoir of the tradition of a woman playing Peter Pan, which helped me think through my Gender. This NeuroQueer Retellung is appropriate for readers 10 and up, because kids have the RIGHT to read Queer Literature! Since an "Actress" is assumed to be a woman, and Peter Pan is a boy, there is Misgendering in this fanfiction. It was in the tags, but I want to put a clear Trigger Waning. Also, Trigger Warning for the racial slur that calls Indigenous People "Red." I have thoughts... Credit for the Fairy Genders goes to J.M. Barrie My portrayal of Tiger Lily is Anti-Colonial Through a Disability Justice lens. To Sondra Lee, who played Tiger Lily, and saved my life To Lerisssa Fasthorse, who justly restored my lost dignity To Adolph Green, who taught me what makes a monter and what makes a man, is complicated To Jerome Robbins, who challenged my intellect and morality And of course to Mary Martin, who taught me about the "Unusal things you can do"

    Years after leaving Philippine Science High School Main Campus, Sheena Marie Ballesteros returns for an alumni gathering expecting the usual reunion rituals: old jokes, career updates, group photos, and the strange experience of seeing former classmates as adults. Then Christopher Laurence Marquez walks in. Everyone remembers Christopher as the quiet one: brilliant, careful, composed, and difficult to read. He was the kind of batchmate people respected from a distance, someone who always seemed certain of where he was going even when the rest of them were still figuring themselves out. Years later, Christopher is still unmistakably himself, with the same precision, quietness, and habit of listening before he speaks. Yet as the afternoon goes on, Sheena begins to notice small differences she cannot quite name, enough to make the version of Christopher in her memory feel incomplete. Between familiar teasing, old stories, and conversations shaped by the years they spent apart, Sheena and their batchmates begin to reconsider what they thought they knew about one another. What starts as an ordinary school reunion becomes a quiet look at memory, adulthood, and the gap between the people we remember and the people they become when life continues beyond our view.
