Sorry, what? Those girls weren't trick-or-treaters, they were eldritch horrors from another dimension? And they weren't there for his candy, they were there for him?! Well, at least now he didn't have to be sad about being a boy and not getting to dress up as something cute. You win some, you lose some.

I hated sleepovers! Whenever my sister had them it made me want to scream, hearing the talking and giggles, the house being filled with girls and stuffed animals and cute clothes.
And even worse than that, people had a habit of rolling their eyes at me and saying “Boys.” And for some reason that made me so uncomfortable.
But then again, even if this stuff upset me there was nothing I could do. I didn't even know why I was affected so much by it. Luckily, though, I didn’t have to — I had a sister and........ she had some ideas.
So much of my life was idyllic, but so little of it was what I actually wanted. I hated not being useful. I hated not being able to be a witch like my sister and my mum. But I was what I was, so instead I spent a lot of my time alone, staring out at the world, feeling completely disconnected from it. It was beautiful out there, probably... but never once could I see the colours.
Little did I know, though... there was about to be an accident.
Osier High had many rules, but none of which affected Warner quite as much as the rule that students could not be in relationships with members of the other sex. That wouldn’t stop him, though — he needed a girlfriend, even if he wasn’t entirely sure why. And, heck, rules were meant to be broken. He could handle any punishment, if it came.
...Right?
Stephen was a very uncomfortable and anxious boy riddled with insecurities and fears. He was also best friends with a lesbian couple, and, strangely, they seemed to care about him, which was weird. What was the point of caring about someone with no redeeming qualities?
Regardless, they did, and they decided to take him along with them into VR for their summer vacation. He felt so out of place when he spent time with them, so... wrong, but... VR is a chance to be someone else. A chance to escape from the reality of the body you’re stuck in outside.
Stephen would take full advantage of that opportunity, and maybe, just maybe... he wouldn’t be quite so out of place after all.
I wish I could forget that I ever realised how much better it would be if I were a woman. I wish I could go back to that blissful innocence before.
Before my every address was like a stab to the heart. Before I realised just how much I was missing.
I wish I was his maid.
Finally freed from their mortal prison, the newborn immortal discovers that something has gone awry. They awoke too soon, and that... could be the end of it all.
K knew that he... wasn't good enough for his girlfriend, Gina. He was just far too innocent, far too... uncomfortable at the smallest of things. But even then, she didn't seem to mind. She seemed to care for him anyway. And to K, that meant everything. After years of this, years of this slow-burn love, of being there for each other... K let slip his deepest, darkest secret.
K had always been interested in... trying... certain things, but... as a girl.
And then he had a problem. The problem wasn't Gina's reaction. No, the problem was that Gina wasn't the kind of person to leave her partner's wishes unfulfilled. Because of her, K, for once in his life, had the ability to choose to... give in to his deepest desires.
K had a choice to make.
Ever since I was eleven years old, I could see magic. I tried to tell my mum that I could see it, but... She didn't believe me and pretended like magic didn't exist. And I could see it! She was clearly a witch!
...But it didn't matter, and for the next two years she continued to hide it. Honestly? I didn't care. I already had a bad relationship with her and didn't particularly trust her. She'd always cared more about my sister, treating me... strangely. So no, I hid everything from her, just as she hid everything from me. Including the fact that I'd begun thinking of myself as a forgotten girl, cursed to see but not to be.
Thing is, though, when my sister turned eleven, she awoke as a witch. And her awakening meant that she began going to this... private witch academy school place. And a school of magic was a school of opportunity... Perhaps I wouldn't forever be cursed not to be.
