First - sorry this one's a few days late! The move is officially eating my life. I knew packing would be a lot, but I did not fully appreciate how much of "a lot" until I was sitting on the floor at midnight surrounded by boxes, wondering why I own this many useless things. Thank you for your patience. 💕

Now, to Wes.

Wes said yes to the dress!

So now there's a dress, there's a runway, and a whole entire big room full of strangers about to look at him - and Wes has spent twenty years making sure nobody looks at him.

I really loved writing this Part 2. Ten images this time! I can't wait to hear what you think! 💕

P.S. There is a PDF and an EPUB this time!

I look at the fear in her eyes on the runway, muse Emory. And I ask myself...is that the fear that is there 24/7 in Mr. Davis's toys? or in Janice's eyes she was Hutchinson's toy?

Emory Ahlberg

Fear is natural, but facing your fear is the only way to grow.

Zoe Storm

Love it. Great. Beautiful. Perfect.

Alyson Greaves

This is such good writing, Emory. The pictures go without saying.

Erin Banneret

There is such beauty in the small kindnesses and the small terrors, Emory.

Jade Diaz

Omg she is so pretty 🥺

It is possible for a story to be completely unrelated to Second Dawn

That was breathtaking. A beautiful, sensuous and sexy piece of self-discovery. Part of me wants more, to see what Wes is like in a year, two years, five but the rest of me knows that this... Just this... Is the story. Anything else is unnecessary. Honestly, your writing just keeps getting better, to the point that the artwork (much as I love it) feels almost unnecessary. The pictures you paint with your words are so much more vivid. Although that last one of Wes sitting in her slip, with the strap fallen off her shoulder was sublime. Her calmness and acceptance of her new truth suffused it and it was utterly joyful.

Alex Hait

Amazing as always. You are such a wonderful writer and these pictures are fantastic and they really help tell the story.

Tim Nielsen

Really sweet story. Can wait to see where this ends. How many parts are you planning ?.

Tim

Love this! And while Parts 1 & 2 make a great snapshot of two days in Wes' and Dalia's life, these could easily be the first two chapters of a future novel. Think The Devil Wears Prada with a trans twist.

A gorgeous tale made up of the things unsaid, the quiet pauses and implications in the gestures. I get some commenters wanting more, Wes and Dalia are such enticing characters, but it's a perfect capture of an emotionally complex moment. Amazing work as always, Emory, and I hope the move goes smoothly <3

The last picture in front of the window... is insanely photographic, tranquil, and sensual... very cool story you're starting there ! Cheers

Claire

Wow!

Gemma

Very romantic and sensual writing that captures so well the array of confusing different feelings and thoughts arising in Wes. Moving from just being and feeling like an ‘extra’ in life to becoming the main event would, I imagine be both a new experience for Wes as well as very intoxicating for him/her.

Tomoa

Loved it!

A really strong evocative story in both words and images. You capture how terrifying it would be to step out on to the catwalk. I'm reminded of something experienced by many more people, the first time someone assigned male at birth steps out into the street looking girly. I have never been on a catwalk but I imagine that, with all eyes upon you, it would be even more frightening than that first time on the street. That's an example of the gap between perception and reality. Stepping out on to the street, hoping to pass as just another girl, may be less scary than strutting on a catwalk, but it's more dangerous. Dangerous but liberating. This is a story of liberation, which is always refreshing.

Annette

This is a nice, heartwarming story, illustrated very nicely and precisely. Hyper-realistic style suits this story well 🙂 I really liked how Wes starts to discover own femininity via the power of vulnerability. By surrendering completely, he gets to the next level in the relationship with Delia and in his own life. How much would this experience transform him and change his life? It would be really interesting to see... Thank you, Emory❣️

Emory Ahlberg

God, thank you, Zoe! 💕 Everything a writer wants to hear

Emory Ahlberg

Thank youuu! 💕 (god, sorry this is two weeks late)

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you so much, Roz! I really loved writing Wes and Delia. I find their relationship fascinating.

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you so much, Steve! That's a huge compliment. 😊
