    Jack deserved his moment, and Kieren needed redemption, seemed a good fit.

    Chapter 11

    Chapter 11: The Iron Cavalry The Bridge at Merrickville. 3:18 AM. Merrickville refused to end with a whimper; it ended with the rhythmic, mechanical clack-clack-clack of a canvas belt feeding into a brass breech, and the hiss of water boiling inside a steel jacket. When Bobby Grady pulled the spade-handle triggers of the Maxim gun, he didn't just fire a weapon. He opened a door to a new century of warfare, and hell stepped through. The sound was a continuous, tearing rip—BRRRRRR

    AXL'S LUV DUNGEON (please ignore the giggles)

    Chapter 5

    I wanted to get a right fit for Ollie. Originally Axl was the love interest for Finn instead of Orel... but he just didn't fit... so he's actually an older character than Ollie was. I hadn't really thought about Ollie and Axl until readers suggested it. And I sat back and went Huh... that actually works... huh.

    I would release them all here, but I only get two release slots a day and I use them for new material.

    Prologue

    Every so often we need a little bit of sweetness to remind us that the world's a bright place

    Chapter 5

    There's some rougher moments. Aiden was neglected prior to his self-adoption. But it is not his mother's fault, she's just... crippled by grief. and Axl is right there to help because that's what Axl does. Marshall is sweet, PAINFULLY shy with anyone not of his own family. But Between Aiden, Axl and now Ollie, he's cracked open to be bright and loving kid.. As for Axl and Ollie, you asked, and you received my friend one happilly ever after inbound, with lots of AWWWW piled on for good measure. Orel has wished it, it shall be so. He's a powerful little mage.

    Oh the name has a little bit of history those that know, know.

    Chapter 10

    Now I am going to be asked, "Why not use the blockhouse?" The answer is the machine gun. The Blockhouse is one of two fall back positions I will use, I will, however, be focusing on the hotel just visible behind the blockhouse (on the right of the image) The Machine gun would be next to useless in a blockhouse not designed for it's use. And they need to control the bridge to control that many men.

    now this is the only image I can find of the ORIGINAL bridge in question. Photo circa 1850

    Chapter 10

    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.

    Chapter 5

    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.

    Chapter 10

    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.

    Chapter 5

    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.
