At twenty-four, Ash Wilde Walsh was drowning—in addiction, in bad decisions, in a body that had never felt right. When he chose prison over his parents' alternative, the judge made the choice for him instead. Now he's Noam Francis Walsh: physically two years old, fully conscious, and finally in the male body he'd always wanted. His parents call it a second chance at childhood. Ash calls it a nightmare with no escape route. [This is a story I'm in the beginning stages of drafting and only publishing chapter by chapter to make it easier to read over and share with others. Updates will be posted as chapters are completed (cross-posting from archiveofourown).]
