Disclaimer/Warnings: Same as on State of Grace.

Final scenes from the Expectingverse-with-daemons. Plus some illustrated profiles of the daemons themselves, because I'm addicted to backstory.

( 'Why didn't you tell me they were here?' he demanded, over the baby's anguished sobbing, threaded with the kitten-formed daemon's heart-rending mews. )

More scenes from the Expectingverse-with-daemons. This part skips ahead a bit, to the stage when Charlene and Jon each know important pieces of Stephen (and company)'s mental state, but the biggest revelations are yet to come.

ETA: The link now actually goes to the second part ^_^;

( The blocky scene had the same basic layout as the main stage, a bespectacled stick figure labeled 'Stephen' sitting behind the C-shaped desk at its heart, while an unlabeled Honeypie watched him from over by the wall. )

Continued adulation for: marvelous beta stellar_dust

When he tries to commit all at once to taking care of a newborn, reconnecting with childhood best friend Charlene, and starting a relationship with Jon, Stephen begins to lose the tight grip he's kept on his past. He's going to need the support of his friends and loved ones more than ever, as he and all the other people he's been face down a hurricane of repression, trauma, pain, pleasure, hurt, loss, healing, and Hannah Montana.

Featuring 108,000 words of story, 8,000 of bonus meta, three new mixes, and half a sketchbook's worth of illustrations. Plus 175% more continuity, characterization, and consistency than the original version, all for the same low price.

A whisper at the back of his mind (don't listen to him don't let him scare you), and he almost missed what Jon said next: "Stephen, are you still having memory problems? Not just for the, uh, the stuff you used to do, but more recently?"

In the past, Charlene and Stephen find gainful employment during the day, and follow less-respectable pursuits during the night. In the present, Jon has Stephen's back. (For those of you keeping score, this is a wifeless AU.)

Now featuring marvelous marvelous art of Stephen and Charlene, by aybara_max!

Part 1 | Transverse

( Stephen eventually lands a job at the Hair Force. She has to dress as a guy when she's on the clock, but there's enough room for flamboyancy that she doesn't have to worry about checking her behavior to match. )
