A bit of a sneak peak at an upcoming work. I plan to do another chapter of Big Changes, but that'll have to wait until after Above Average (which should be done in the next week~ish) and the monthly mini-fic which will be done a few days after that.
Here's a snippet of what to expect.

Troy trudged dejectedly into the gym and up the stairs to the weight room. He couldn’t believe that his mom was making him start working out. She had complained that he had been spending too much time indoors lately and not enough time having a social life like any other normal high school senior. He groaned internally every time he heard her make that argument. He would love to be a “normal” high school senior, but his medical condition pretty much precluded any sense of normalcy he might hope to achieve.
As soon as he got up the stairs he noticed his two buds, the twin brothers Miguel and Inigo, or “Mike n Ike” as everyone liked to call them, embroiled in what seemed to be a heated debate over by one of the benches. As Troy got closer he noticed five barbells arranged one after the other. The bars were all parallel to one another, and the space between each bar was too evenly measured to be a fluke.
Troy wasn’t sure if he wanted to know the answer, but he figured he’d be hearing about it soon enough; the sooner he got it out of the way the better.
“What are you two talking about?” He asked nervously.
“Oh good!” Ike exclaimed happily.
“You can help us with this!” Mike chimed in. Troy furrowed his brow skeptically but made no effort to press the issue further. He knew they were about to tell him anyway.
“We were just discussing how we thought you’d look with a Jacob’s ladder.” Mike stated matter-of-factly. “Personally, I think it’d look pretty punk rock.” He announced smugly.
“And I think it’d look adorable.” Ike gushed.
Troy slapped his palm against his face and grumbled inaudibly. He could already tell this would be a long and awkward workout.
