Strangetown, Here We Come: Re-released

After much effort, I've completely re-uploaded the images for SHWC on Dreamwidth. These were previously hosted on Livejournal and therefore unavailable to most viewers. You can find it all here:

Strangetown Here We Come Chapter List

I started this story in 2007, and it has been ongoing for 18+ years (with breaks along the way). Please keep this in mind if you are a newcomer to the story. It has changed and grown along the way, as have the characters. Mostly, it's a coming of age story, and a love story/stories.

“Hm?”

“Sorry.”

But just as Kate attempted to readjust her feet, Brandon put his drink between his knees and pulled her ankles so her feet were now planted firmly and comfortably against the side of his leg.

He kept his hand resting on her feet like that for the rest of the movie. Their contact electrified Kate, but there was also something very calming about it as though they were no different than Lee and Jo cuddling behind them. Ben certainly didn’t mind if he even noticed at all.

That’s when Kate wondered if the thrill of their touch was rooted more in the secret subtly of the act. So while Brandon and Ben laughed at the movie and Lee and Jo giggled to each other, Kate enjoyed a private rush burn her cheeks in the dimly lit theatre room.

Cherry Bomb

I suppose if I wasn't sober, this bachelorette party would be a lot crazier," said Jaxy. "It's a far cry from what we did back at LFT."

“I'm enjoying the chill vibes,” said Zoe.

“Yeah, I’m sober, Zoe doesn't drink because of me, Ophelia's pregnant, Ripp is…” Jaxy paused, and looked around.

“Wait… where's Ripp?”

"It's What I Do."

"Zoe and Jasmine invited me to their bachelorette party."

"Don't call her Jasmine, okay, she hates that. Jax or Jaxy is good."

"Okay, sure. It was nice of them to ask me, though, don't you think? I bet that will be fun."

"Yeah, we'll have a great time."

"You're going?"

"Yeah of course I'm going."
