I toyed with the idea of an artillary feature... but it would have been short, devastatingly so. So I decided best not bring out the big guns. It would be a couple of barrages, and the whole thing would be a mess. Besides the Fenians need the bridge intact... Crossing a canal in winter is not as fun as it sounds, especially with cavalry.

Yes, well... I like the name After a cruel encounter on a late-night train, a disabled old man and the loutish teen who mocked him wake up in each other's bodies. But this isn't a lesson in empathy—it's a punishment. Professor Taine must navigate Charlie's disastrous life: a gang debt, a racist father's political campaign, and three furious girlfriends. As Taine races to undo the swap, he discovers an unexpected ally in Charlie's sharp-tongued sister—and an even more dangerous connection with Tyler Cole, the son of his father's political rival. But the demon is watching, and every choice comes with a price.

I love that name. Great last name. Alistair Taine in this case, or Charlie Hartley depending on if you mean the soul or the body. :: grins evilly :: Going to enjoy a bit of Supernatural Thriller for a change of pace. Torn on the title, Rate of Exchange or Terms of the Deal. Faustian fun.

I don't know... the Fenian Raiders were brutal. While their cause, a free and self-governing Ireland, was just. The fantatcism, the Catholic purging, and the radical way they destroyed innocent communities in the pursuit of this leaves me shivering. They were not... kind to protestants, nor to those that were different in the way that the Harding's, Bobby, Timmy, or Henry and Cam were. However, Henry's fussing over Cam was a nice note. He's found his person, and all he wants to do is keep him safe.

Poor Orel meets his match in the OCD enthusiasm of one Aiden Slater. I can see the baby sitting potential now. Orel: Please don't put labels on my... head. Aiden: Need to ensure everyone knows you're the babysitter. Orel not knowing what to do. if he's allowed to take said label off or if he's stuck with it for the forseeable future. Orel: While I appreciate the application of labels, and the structure it provides... labelling my husband "Dork-Sitter in charge" is a misnomer, as he is neither a Dork, nor is he, objectively in charge. Finn: Oh Orel, I'm always in charge.

Ollie has a history of looking after kids, he was the one who raised Orel after all. And after that, the two Sprogs here are easy. Even if he does not have labels on his toothbrush

Aiden's found a new hobby. Marshall-Lee's found the waffles. Ollie's opened his home. and Axl isn't alone.

Chapter 6: The Weight Friday. Eight PM. The guest house. Axl had planned everything. Shower at six. Hair actually styled, not just pushed around. The uniform—Orel's uniform, his uniform, whatever—freshly pressed and folded. A stop at Domino's for the pizza, extra sausage, no mushrooms, because Orel's instructions had been *extremely specific* about him using the trigger phrase again. He'd even practiced his smile in the mirror. Not the eyebrow-waggling chaos grin

Jack will have his moment, he's not one to be left sitting to one side when duty calls.

It's interesting to think of the technology that's brought to bear then. In thirty years WWI will erupt. The Children of these men and women will be fighting in trenches holding the line in France, machine guns, rifles and industrialized war. This battle sits in that time of change. The time when the HMS Dreadnought touched water, the era of the Maxim gun, and factories spewing black into the sky at the end of the Victorian era that saw the steady, inexorable march to war.

Bobby is a tested hero, proven in battle. the biggest mistake they make is testing his mettle. He may hold a soft spot for a certain fluffy telegraph boy, but he is far from soft himself. He stood with Elias at the sheriff's office in Silver Creek when they were attacked, he led the posse that pursued Cobb into the canyon, he stood at the mine when all was lost, and when Rourke came for Silver Creek itself, he was right by Theo's side keeping the Pinkerton's at bay. Deputy Grady, big ears in a bowler hat he took off of a rogue Pinkerton Agent, defending his Timmy then, like he's doing now.

It's why Bobby is on it, out of the whole town he's their best chance at keeping that thing running smoothly.

Chapter 10: The Cold Gates Merrickville, Ontario. Dusk. The sun died early in the Ottawa Valley, slipping behind the western ridges and leaving the town of Merrickville steeped in a cold, grey twilight. But tonight, the dark wasn't just an absence of light; it was a physical weight, pressing down on the rooftops and the frozen canal like a suffocating blanket. The town wasn't sleeping. It was arming. The usual sounds of evening—dogs barking, doors slamming, the distant lau

You will respect his yellow belted awesomeness!

Start with this one: Then try: If you like those, and get through them, ask again and I will recommend the next in the Merrickville stories... Most of my stories are interconnected, set in the same town, with recurring characters. Orel, Finn, Axl and Ollie are all from: and:

Can I recommend some of my other stories, that are completed, there's quite a back catalogue..

I literally post them as fast as the site will allow me, one chapter per 24 hours.
