the road ahead l preview (j. miller series)
a/n📝 in honor of hitting 4k followers this weekend, I decided to post a little glimpse at what I have been brainstorming: a full length series for the to do the right thing universe. I have been toying around with this idea for a while now and to be honest, I am really terrified taking on such a big challenge and writing this story, but also kind of excited too? part of me feels like I’m going to be in waaaay over my head but oh well lmao.
the first chapter is still a draft, but this scene is complete. what do we think? should i do it? please let me know your thoughts!
“Frank?” You knelt in front of his wheelchair and placed a gentle hand on his knee. “What is it?”
“We need you to take Gracie with you,” Frank told you, softly. His blue eyes had gone red, brimming with tears that he was trying his absolute hardest to hold back. Behind him, Bill stood there with his hand on his partner’s shoulder and you could have sworn that he was fighting back tears too.
“What?” You and Joel hissed out in unison. While you couldn’t see him, you could imagine the look of shock on his face mirrored yours as well.
“We need you to take her with you,” he repeated.
You stared up at Frank, your eyes wide in pure and utter disbelief. “What are you talking about?”
“Whatever this illness is, it’s progressing fast, way too fast. Look at me. The last time you were here, I could still walk. That was what, just a few months ago?” Frank let out a small and humorless chuckle and shook his head. “I’m getting worse with every day that passes. I can’t do anything for myself, let alone for Gracie. I’m in the most excruciating and unbearable pain and the reality is that I don’t have all that much time left.” He paused, hesitating for a moment before saying, “If I’m going to die, then I’m going to die in peace, not in agony.”
Your heart sank deeply, realizing what he’d meant by that.
“What about Bill?”
Joel’s gruff voice came from behind you, strained and tight.
“He can’t raise her alone. And besides, he’s made his choice to go with me.” Frank put his hand over his beloved partner’s hand, which was still resting on his shoulder.
You glanced over your shoulder back at Joel, who just stood there, the color drained from his face.
“How could we put her through that?” You asked, your voice thick with emotion as you turned back to look at Frank. “Don’t you realize how dangerous it will be for her to go with us?”
“She’s right. We’re goin’ across the fuckin’ country to get Ellie where she needs to be,” Joel reminded them. “We don’t know what kinda shit is out there or what we’re goin’ to run into. So how the fuck do you two expect us to take along a fuckin’ child?”
“Ellie’s a child,” Bill pointed out to him.
“She’s fuckin’ fourteen, not three—”
Frank held up a hand to stop him.
Finally, a tear slid down the side of his face. “Look, this isn’t a choice that we want to make, Joel. But let’s face it. I’m sick and Bill is old. Gracie will wind up alone.” He swallowed harshly, his eyes meeting yours. “I know you just wanted her to be safe, and sure, maybe she was safer with us here than in the zone for a while, but I don’t think that we thought this all the way through. I don’t think we looked far enough into the future. At some point, Gracie was going to lose us both.”
You turned and looked into the living room where Gracie was showing Ellie her favorite teddy bear.
“What’s his name?” Ellie had asked her.
“Teddy.”
She snorted, ruffling her hair. “Real original, kid.”
Gracie giggled, playfully swatting her hand away.
“I know she loses either way.” Frank’s hoarse voice garnered your attention once again. “I know it’s an incredibly dangerous risk, taking her with you. But it’s either that or she winds up alone.”
“We took care of her for as long as we could,” Bill said, quietly. “Now it’s your turn.”

the road ahead l chapter one sneak peek
a/n 📝 so, I am back to full on writing after taking a few days off! chapter one of TRA is almost complete, and I am hoping to have it posted next weekend. it could be posted earlier, but I just want to give myself the few extra days because I am also working on a couple of other things and it will be nice to have that cushion of extra time. okay, enough babbling. I posted one preview already, but because the first chapter is going to be hefty (5k words so far and counting) here is one more sneak peek before I drop this series (ah I am nervous asf)
series masterlist
“Christ, I can’t fucking stand it,” You mumbled out in complete and utter misery as you paced around back and forth in the downstairs guest bedroom—the heart wrenching sound of Gracie’s wailing and her pleading could be heard throughout the entire two story house. If you listened close enough, you could also hear the sound of Bill and Frank’s softly muffled voices trying to calm her down.
Letting out a heavy sigh, you glanced over at Joel; he’d been sitting at the foot of the bed with a hard and stony expression on his face. He hadn’t said a single damn word to you all evening after the both of you had finally settled yourselves into the guest room for the night. It terrified the hell out of you to think Joel was beginning to shut himself away. He was slipping back into his old, shitty way of coping and it worried you, because not only were you two about to make a dangerous trip across the United Stated with a child, but now you would be making the trip with two children in tow.
And one of those two children happened to be his daughter—his daughter with you.
Needless to say, it just wasn’t the fucking time for him to shut you out. Not now.
“Do you think she even understands what they’re tellin’ her?” Joel questioned you quietly. He was gripping the edge of the mattress so hard that his knuckles had gone ghost white.
“She sure as hell understands that after tomorrow she’s never going to see the people who raised her ever again,” You stated, crossing your tightly over your chest as you continued to pace. You exhaled a small, trembling breath and tried your hardest to keep your composure as her cries grew louder.
“We can’t fuckin’ do this,” Joel told you. His voice was tight, strained. “We can’t take her with us.”
“You heard Frank, Joel. What other fucking choice do we have?”
He hesitated. “Well, there is another choice.”
You stopped mid-pace and looked at him.
Already, you knew you were not going to like what was about to come out of his mouth.
“And what would that other choice be, Joel?” You asked him rigidly, your arms still crossed.
“I take Ellie and we go find Tommy in Wyom—”
You didn’t even let him finish. “No.”
Joel tried again. “You take Gracie and you go back to Bost—”
“No.”
He glared at you. “Can you let me fuckin’ talk?”
“No,” You said for the third time. “Listen to me, we are not splitting up. Not a fucking chance in hell.”
“You have to go back. It might not be ideal, but it’s safer than her bein’ out there,” he reasoned.
You scoffed. “You killed a fucking FEDRA soldier. I go back without you and without Tess—and with a fucking three year old? They’ll take her away and I get the fucking rope. They will hang me, Joel. Not only will they hang me, those bastards will do it in front of the entire QZ and make an example out of me. Is that what you want to happen?”
Joel gripped the mattress even tighter at the mere thought of it. “You really fuckin’ askin’ me that?”
Dropping your arms back down to your sides, you walked over and knelt down in front of him. “Look Joel, we stick together, alright? We’re not splitting up, no matter what. Do you understand me?” You placed a hand over one of his and he stiffened. “It might not be what you want, but sticking together is what’s best for Ellie and it’s going to be what is best for Gracie. She’s our daughter. She needs us now.”
Joel’s lips pressed together in a thin, tight line.
“Joel, don’t you pull away from me. Not now,” You whispered up at him. “Please.”
But it was too late.
You could see it in his eyes—he already had.

“Can you define woman without excluding any woman?” Yes, I can, actually.
A woman is a person born with at least one X chromosome and with the absence of a Y chromosome.
It’s fairly simple. People with Turner’s syndrome (XO) are ALWAYS female, and people with Klinefelter’s syndrome (XXY) are ALWAYS male, because the presence of the Y chromosome makes them male. And this isn’t my opinion by the way, this is medical literature. We’re also talking about sex here, not gender. This includes any variation of chromosomes - for example, the extremely rare genetic disorder, XXXYY, people with this disorder are ALWAYS MALE, even though they have more than one (and two!) X chromosomes, because the presence of the Y chromosome makes you male.
I give any radfems and/or TERFs the right to use this explanation whenever some TRA trues to pull the “but what about (extremely rare genetic disorder) or (someone with no ovaries, a hysterectomy, etc). Because you don’t really need to define “woman” by external genitalia or even anatomy, because there’s one thing that all women have, no matter what. And it’s at least one X chromosome, and no Y chromosome.

Cannot wait to see Gracie and Ellie interact 🥹
UGH nonnie let me tell you…I’ve only written the first chapter but I’ve outlined scenes for a total of 3 chapters so far and these two will most likely just melt your heart. like as awful as it’s going to be putting Gracie through the canon events of the series at her age…at least big sister Ellie moments will help balance out those terrible moments. sort of 🥲

dude i used to identify as nonbinary and shit and when people ask me “why did you become a terf” it’s genuinely because i took anatomy as an elective. once you get away from social media and sit down and actually learn what the human body does you realize a bunch of shit tras say either makes no sense or is contradictory to what we understand about the human body

I remember arguing with this trans-identified female before I was full-on gender-critical. I had asked her why it wasn’t enough for her to just express herself however she wanted. As in, why wasn’t it enough for her to cut off her hair, wear masculine clothing, go by a masculine name, etc. Why did she have to go one step further and misogynistically claim that the aforementioned characteristics meant she was no longer a woman? Because as she had described it, gender dysphoria was indeed an issue of self-expression first and foremost—not an issue of linguistics. 
She responded by saying that even if she self-expressed in a masculine manner, being called a woman would still give her dysphoria due to the stereotype of women being feminine. Essentially, it bothered her that others would associate the word woman with femininity. So then I asked how we would ever deconstruct those associations if masculine women like herself continued to deny their womanhood, and continued to insist that their masculinity meant they were actually men. She never responded after that.
What was most intriguing to me, is that she had no issue acknowledging that her sex was female. With that in mind, I had attempted to explain that whether she called herself a transgender man or a gender-non-conforming woman, in most people’s minds that simply translated to being a masculine female. And again, if she had no issue acknowledging that she was a masculine female, then why couldn’t she just as easily acknowledge that she was a masculine woman? Round and round the questions went.
