Liam's dad & Step-mother. His father always wanted a boy, but when Liam came out as trans, that was *worse* to Tom Turner. His step mother hated Liam no matter what gender he was, because he was a reminder of his mother.

Finding Home: Henry Williams, Liam's partner & mentor on the job. Henry mentored Liam for a few years, & then they started working together. While Liam keeps Henry at arm's length, Henry does his best to keep Liam from collapsing. He does not always succeed.

FH is set in modern day USA. Delle's favorite remedy for anything is a cup of tea with honey. It's their go-to, and they even carry tea with them to crime scenes in case someone gets sick. It's 100% a character trait: the person with the tea.

Day 9:
Alaine got really sick when she was little and Percy had to secretly use his healing powers to help her. She has hazy memories of it that only made sense once she figured out her brothers were the AVALON Knights!

In my world we have this special plant called a jagger bush. It's prickly, and grows wild in thickets. People not from the Pittsburgh area in PA would call it uhhh ... bramble? Maybe? I honestly forget. 😜

Day 8:
Asteria City is actually well known for their wild, stray foxes! They are grey or black and are sneaky bastards always getting into the trash. Some people mess with 'em but most leave 'em alone

Day 5:
I would tell Alaine that it's okay to be grieving and to be hurting. Part of what makes her so susceptible to the charms of the villain is that he validates her pain when her family just wants things to go back to "normal"

This song actually inspired the original title of Finding Home, because it's so Liam-coded.

Awww, poor Liam! I'm glad he at least has *some* happy memories to look back on... 😭
#amwriting #writingcommunity #writersonthestorm #writesky
Liam's fondest memories come from the time he spent w/ his mother in his early childhood. She loved him dearly & tried to raise him to be kind & honest & loving. He carried those lessons w/ him thru his teens with his absent father when his mother died.

Originally, FH was upset in the 1960s & Delle was fighting an uphill battle to be recognized. Now set in the modern day, Delle considers themself a hard core feminist. They will 100% punch a TERF.

💙 PERCY's is of the time he spent his birthday camping with his siblings
💚 LIN's is of the first time someone called him "little dude"
❤️ ALAINE is of her brother Lance looking after her when they were homeless together
