What's next?
a moment of realization
One evening, after a particularly tense dinner party where Sarah had slipped effortlessly into Diana’s commanding persona, you found yourself quietly brooding in the living room. The weight of your conflicting emotions—the hurt from her dismissive words, the confusing stir of attraction—was becoming harder to carry alone.
Sarah noticed.
Later that night, when the house was quiet and the world outside had faded away, she sat beside you on the couch, her expression softer now—more like the woman you once knew.
“I’ve been watching you,” she said gently, her voice steady but laced with something deeper. “I see how you change when I’m with others… and how you’re struggling with it.”
You hesitated, unsure how to put into words the turmoil inside you. But she continued.
“It’s not easy, this… becoming Diana. Part of me is still Sarah, but I can’t deny that some of her ways have become mine. The coldness, the distance—it’s a shield. And maybe, sometimes, it’s a way to keep you at arm’s length when I’m afraid.”
She reached for your hand, squeezing it softly. “I don’t want to lose what we had. But I also don’t want to pretend that everything is the same. We’re changing—both of us.”
You looked into her eyes and saw the truth there: fear, love, and a determination to navigate this together. The love you could see was pure Sarah, but the steely determination was definitely all Diana.
She took her hand and decisively led you to the bedroom where you were able to briefly forget the weight of you worries.

The Ultimate Transplant
Someone you know is given a new body & life
PLEASE ADD CHAPTERS! A close friend or family member is horribly injured in an accident. As they lay dying in the emergency room, another patient dies of a brain aneurysm. Both of them are organ donors, so a surgeon decides it's the perfect opportunity for him to try an experimental surgery. He transplants the victim's higher brain (the cerebellum) to the donor's body in an attempt to 'save' a life. Amazingly it works. But the surgery was not approved so the hospital convinces the families to keep quiet, arguing that revealing this operation to the public would bring never-ending media attention to all involved. That means that the patient will have to publicly assume the identity of the donor. What will this mean to your friends and family? Who else will you tell? Although you will spend a lot of time and effort giving support, how will all this alter your relationship to the patient? And how will he or she adapt to a complete change of body and identity? Many transformation stories focus on the change or victim, so I thought it would be interesting to instead have the POV be someone who sees the change from the outside. Writers feel free to explore a change in age, gender, class or ethnicity - and the repercussions that change would have on the main character (and others).
