  1. James doesn't know who it was that assaulted him. It was definitely an adult, but he mentioned in the prologue that he had no idea who it was. You're right about Casper's empathy. He doesn't know what each emotion attaches to, and he can't read thoughts, so there's a lot of guesswork involved on his part. I don't want to spoil anything, so that's all I'll say for now. Hope you enjoy finding out as it all unfolds.
  2. Well, his dad did give him a black eye. Not sure if I'd call that broken, but he is hurting.
  3. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Sarah asked quietly, gazing back at her son in the rear view mirror. “We can always wait a few more days, you know.” Before she’d even finished talking, the boy was shaking his head, arms folding defensively. “Yeah, I know, mom,” James replied. “But I really wanna get back there. I’m sick and tired of just staying at home all day. I wanna see my friends. Please? You said I could.” From his spot in the side seat, Peter raised a placating hand.
  4. Well, something's gonna have to change. That's for sure.
  5. He certainly does. So far, we're only at the tip of the iceberg with him.
  6. I certainly agree that it would be exhausting. Can't really comment on the rest, as it would be spoilers. Hope you enjoy what winds up happening, tho.
  7. Casper: Casper sat huddled into the faded red leather of the seat, his body pressed tight into the corner. He found it was best to find small spaces when he had to deal with nerves. The nerves weren’t his, although that didn’t help much. There was a boy seated a few tables away and the nerves were coming off of him in waves, intensifying every time the young waitress made another circuit of the diner. Casper didn’t like the other boy’s feelings. They were agitating, tinged with a slightl
  8. Glad to hear it!
  9. There is definitely more magic and mages than just Dumbledore's office. The fantasy element picks up in the next couple chapters.
  10. Thank you for sharing. This story was first written with the intention of addressing such topics in a manner that made them easier to discuss for people of all ages, personal experience or no. James' experience of it is lighter than yours was in a lot of ways, I think. He has a family and community that both believes him and supports him, and he wasn't betrayed by someone close to him or his family. I think that aids in his recovery, to a degree. I've had conversations like this before, with people who have had similar experiences to James or some of the other characters, and it always brings a new perspective, so I really do thank you. I hope you continue reading.
  11. I don't mind you asking. It's not directly based on anything that happened.
  12. Thanks for the info and the warm welcome! It's nice to be here.
  13. Glad you liked it!
  14. Heh. Thank you. I hope I manage it to your satisfaction.
  15. Glad to hear it. You'll not have to wait long. My backlog is extensive.
  16. Doctor’s notes, Subject #24170. Alias: David. Session 1. Notes and recommendations of attendant therapist, Natalie Sharpe: David (Pseudonym provided by parental request, to be removed if deviation abilities are confirmed) has displayed mild to moderate behavioural change since occurrence of primary event: sexual assault by an unnamed individual. Behavioural changes are concerning, but within expectations. Parents report that David has been angry, withdrawn and lar
  17. James Toranaga is a twelve year old boy dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault. He’s doing okay. The memories are tough, and the world feels a little rougher than it used to, but he’s a strong kid with a loving family to support him. It sure makes his emerging sexuality harder to deal with, though. He doesn’t want to think about it. Luckily, he has the perfect distraction: he can fly. But these strange new powers may bring dangers of their own. He is not the only one who has them.
  18. Hello there! I'm Rhythm, and I literally just found out about this site. I have a long running gay story that I've been posting on my private site for around four years. I thought it might be cool to try it out on here as well. Is there anything I should know? I've read the authors' guide, but was wondering if there was anything it didn't cover.
