SS5 p80 Meeting Nikki
skyangel on Jan. 22, 2015
The story so far: Nikki has gender dysphoria and has tried to suppress her female side to live an ordinary family life. When Sarah first met her she had seperated from her wife and was living in the flat above and it was through Sarah that she began to relax more about being her true self. However Nikki still missed her wife and daughter and when the wife suggested they give it another try she was only to happy to return but it was on the condition Nikki kept her feminine side contained once again. Sarah and Janey had always accepted Nikki's longing to dress and live as a woman and so gave her that opportunity again on their holiday together in Scotland.

This is going to be complicated, no matter what Sarah chooses.

@tommym: I would've agreed with you totally if I hadn't seen that dream a few pages page!! Was that a premonition? Certainly don't think it insignificant!

Whatever happens, personally feel that Sarah should, and needs to, explain her preferences to Karen, this is not just about Nikki and things could get worse if Karen continues to believe Sarah is straight, especially if they do move in with Nikki paying the rent

Dear Sarah, @ Kim I think Sarah can turn Nikki,s new found flat to several peoples advantage. Nikkis a true tested ally, having her own flat can serve as a safe house spot. and she can further atact a another eye for Lucy and or a early warning system spotting for Allison. @fallopian yeah Allison will not only go ballistic but the niki zeus anti- missles will be armed and ready, speaking of True to Our Hearts @ tupapayon yes, Nikki is sincere he does like/love Sarah. think Nikki who can pay entire rent can set up more flexable "rules" they can bump each other with Allison around deflecting Allisons throw weight Think triple date Allison, Lucy, Nikki, Sarah, Punk rock girl, Horse ranch girl....not nessaseraly in any order. @ BearinOz Agree don't move in with Allison but stay free range I can see the grey cells synapsing in Sarah s do good social net balancing act Sky, thanks again for explicating Love the fellow travlers nest second panel is that Jane Blonde?

Say yes, oh god please do! It's not negotiable.

Hah! "never rains but it pours" as the old saying goes. I reckon it'd work, but poor old Alison ! Still, I don't think moving in with Alison _would_ work....but the timing is CRAP, eh ? B-) Surprised I'm not first on - it's up nice'n'early. ... p.s Got time to read B.E.? ....I think you'll find rather a lot of pages there, to catch up on ( he says, needing the comments B-) )

Nikki's offer, I think, is sincere… but he kinda likes Sarah, so it could be awkward, or someone might get hurt… but they could stablish clear ground rules and make it work…

If Sarah moves in with Nikki instead taking Alison up on her offer, Alison is going to go ballistic! I can't wait! I hope Nikki stays true to herself for good this time. Remaining with someone who forbids you from being who you really are is tantamount to committing slow suicide. I know, I've been there.

Hmmm... This seems like it could work for Sarah, but I'm not sure why I have some misgivings... perhaps the same reason Sarah seems to be having some... Plus, that dream still creeps me out haha! I like these little synopsis you're giving in the author notes. I've got a pretty good grasp of the story now from the beginning, but they're still nice refreshers!
