Three siblings. One bond. And a lot of stuff we'd rather not talk about. But eventually, even the quietest cracks start to show. This book follows the story of three siblings: the oldest, Cameron (Cam), a 17 year old trans girl; the middle, Eleanor (Ellie) , a 14 year old Fluxiris kid; and the youngest, Jack (whitefang/fang), a 12 year old trans boy - the trans trio as they call themselves! Fluxiris: when someone's gender is whatever the other person believes it is and therefore has no solid gender identity as it is all left up for interpretation Throughout the book different people will be calling Eleanor by different pronouns (even neopronouns so watch out and try to not get confused) I'll be putting a picture of a character from this book at the start of each chapter so you understand how they look! All images either made by me in apps, taken from Pinterest or from Google - some many be edited to fit the description betterComplete

Pana: Flight from the Past
What happens when you try to tell your story, but no one is willing to listen to you? You run. Thousands of years before, the cataclysm destroyed the world. In a barrage of miniature apocalypses manufactured by the most powerful government in the world, the moon was torn apart, ice sheets expanded from the north, entire communities were systematically poisoned, the rainforests were burned. Thousands of years before that, magical stones with the ability to protect life were created and scattered throughout civilization. Now, Pana and their friend, the timid yet trustworthy dragon Waveskimmer, find one of those stones. Pana has only ever known the frozen northern village they were born in, but when they are forced to flee their home after an unfortunate misunderstanding, they discover that the world is bigger than they could have imagined, and that there are other pockets of survivors out there who are all facing their own hardships. Together with Waveskimmer, they begin traveling the world, meet new people, and try their best to undo the mistakes of the past. But when their own past catches up with them, the fate of the world is thrown into jeopardy once more.Complete

The Way We Used to Be
I lost my mom at 11, that's when it started. My dad became a drunk and I was left to take care of my 3-month-old baby sister. Now I'm 23, graduated a few years ago and my sister, now 12, can understand what happened. She never fully understood when I needed someone to and I didn't have many friends that stuck around afterwards. Until I met him. We were friends first, then the feelings got deeper. He asked me to be his girlfriend. He was my first kiss, first date, first real friend, first love, everything. I loved him and I do. I've said it. Now all we do is fight. I don't know why we can't figure things out, but I can't take this fighting. I just want things to go back to the way things were. The way we used to be... Happy, carefree teens that pretended we had the whole world figured out.Complete
