Becoming Robin
A Tale of Self-Discovery
By Zoe Taylor

Come follow the story of young Robert Smith

as he discovers the girl she always wanted to be.


“Is this the Smith residence?” A professional-sounding female voice asked.

“Yes ma’am,” I responded as politely as I could to make up for my earlier ‘oops’. “How may I help you?”

“Is this Robert Smith? My name’s Sharon. I’m a 9-1-1 dispatcher.”

I could feel the blood drain from my face. “What’s going on?” I asked, failing miserably at my attempts to contain the panic I felt welling up within already.

Zoe Taylor

Zoe Taylor is the author of the novel series Becoming Robin, the heartwarming story of a transgendered teenager on the path to self-acceptance in her new life.

She is also the co-creator of the Robinverse (link) story universe. For Becoming Robin and other Robinverse-related stories, see the Robinverse by Zoe and Ashleigh story universe page. For her other stories, see below the break!

Clerical error! Blech.

Just wanted to let those of you following my medical drama know that there was apparently a clerical error/miscommunication, so no surgery today after all.

The three of us turned back to face her as she jogged closer. “There’s been a change of plans this year. Where’s Mystic?” she asked, looking around for Jennifer.

“She’s talking with Faith - one of our new friends’ cousins visiting from out of state. She shouldn’t be long. What’s wrong?”

Alice beamed, shaking her head. “Nothing’s wrong. We - that is, Director Meredith and the counselors have been talking about you four girls. We’re concerned that you’re not going to be challenged enough by the standard CIT curriculum since two of you have been through it twice already.”

Mom waited until we had left the school behind before gently asking, “So, how was camp?”

“Good,” I answered simply before giggling. “Jenn almost caught her hair on fire, and I got even with Lulubelle.”

“What’s a Lulubelle?” Mom asked, trying not to laugh.

My absence is not what you probably think...

Let me just start by saying, I haven’t abandoned writing :-) I just caught a bad case of real-life recently that just won’t let go. The short version is, I’ve been sick, and my hard drive as well as backup external HDD both died on me, so I’ve been the last two weeks either lying in bed, or drugged out of my gourd on strong cold medicine while simultaneously trying to recover any data that wasn’t backed up online somewhere (Thank GOD all my stories were recently backed up on GDocs or I’d be totally screwed right now :-P)

I have a question????

Has anyone heard from Zoe Taylor at all in w while.I love her stories "Becoming Robin" & "Shadowcraft:Aria Blade" & I was wondering when the next chapter's are going to be coming out,u know what I mean????

ESwS #1 - Chapter 12 - Sunny with a Chance of Sarah

It was another lazy afternoon around the Cameron homestead. With Robin, Nicole and Allison off at camp, and Em and Beth doing their own thing, plus Katelyn teaching another piano lesson, Sarah and Faith lounged around the pool.

Both girls wore form-fitting bikinis, but while Sarah had on a pair of expensive, sporty sunglasses, Faith’s were decidedly goofy-looking, with pink frames and heart-shaped lenses.

“This is the life,” Faith giggled softly. “You know Sarah, I’ve been thinking.”

“What about?” Sarah asked, glancing over at the girl.

Taking a Break

Robinverse has basically blown up in my face, and I now have authors who previously were interested running like hell the other way because I made the mistake of making overt the fact that magic has subtly existed all along.

I promised I'd continue to post Becoming Robin here, and maybe I will eventually finish posting it, but for the foreseeable future, I'm going to step down as a TopShelf author.

~* Girl, Uncertain *~

"You didn't answer my question. Why do I look like her? I'm adopted, aren't I? My real parents were assholes who... Who..." she stopped, and broke down completely, burying her face in my shoulder.

I helplessly held her, stroking her hair and trying to calm her. I didn’t know what else to do. She had been hurt so deeply by those monsters. Even with therapy, she still buried much of her pain and sorrow.

Lily-Rose looked at Nicole sadly. "Yes child you were adopted twice really: once by those people who claimed to be your parents, and then again by your uncle."

ESwS #1 - Chapter 11 - Back in Pink!

The morning after Sarah returned home, she awoke before her mother and groggily wondered downstairs to make coffee for her. As she stared at the coffee maker, watching the coffee slowly drip into the glass pitcher below, she yawned, blinking a few times.

“What... Why am I making coffee?” She grimaced as familiar memories flooded to the surface. She always made coffee when she got up before Meg because her mother tended to oversleep after a long day of college plus homework. She smiled thoughtfully.

~* Girl, Interrupted *~

“Robin, there you are,” she gasped. I could tell, just by the fact that she used my real name, that something was wrong. “I need to speak to you in private. It’s important.”

I glanced at the girls briefly, flashing an apologetic smile before standing and following Alice outside.

“We just received a phone call this morning, sweetie. I’m so sorry. Your friend Sarah was involved in some kind of accident.”

ESwS #1 - Chapter 10.2 - Not so Sunny

And now for the conclusion of Chapter 10...


“Ooooouch my fucking head hurts,” Sarah whined as she slowly opened her eyes. Though her vision was blurry at first, things slowly started to focus.

“W-what the hell?” she groaned, suddenly aware of a new weight on her chest. She cautiously raised the neck of her hospital gown and peekedunder it. “What the hell?! Did I get implants while I was out?!”

Sarah’s mother Meg, who now had her hair pulled up into a cute bun, shook her head slowly.

“Sweetie, you know you’re too young for implants, and even when you’re eighteen I still won’t approve. Do you remember anything? You’ve been in and out of consciousness for awhile now.”

Big Girls Don't Cry - Peeing in the Timestream

{Please read up to Chapter 10.1 of Everything’s Sunny with Sarah, and all 14 chapters of Boys Don’t Cry would help. This is the story as the Universe rewrites itself thanks to the some meddling old ladies. Don’t worry though: Sarah won’t forget her struggle, and some new ones may be on the horizon as a consequence... ;-)

This story contains an attempted sexual assault on a teenage girl; if that offends you please do not read any further (or alternately, press Ctrl+F in your browser and type “ March 6 ” (without the quotation marks) to be taken to the day after the incident. :-) - Zoe)}

ESwS #1 - Chapter 10.1 - Not so Sunny

Authors Notes:
Zoe and I broke this into two parts, 10.1 and 10.2 there will be a filler story between the two parts, enjoy





Sarah awoke feeling a bit groggy, and not sure exactly where she was. She slowly tried to move her head until she could see her mother sitting in a chair near her bed, watching the TV on the wall, while the twins’ father Peter sat close by, sipping coffee from a styrofoam cup. It seemed incredibly loud to her, but she knew her mother would obviously never have the volume up that high.

ESwS #1 - Chapter 9 - Dark Days Coming

{Warning This Chapter contains some Self Violence, Dream Sequences, and Extreme Length of Story}

Authors’ Note: This chapter begins a storyline which will ultimately result in Sarah’s life being very, very different. We ask that readers bear with us and please hold any judgment or negative, gut reaction until chapter 10 has been completely posted. How this will work is that chapter 10 will appear in two parts, with a “oneshot” flashback story in-between.

Thanks for your patience and continued support!
Ashleigh and Zoe


Robinverse is live!

Robinverse

Just wanted to post a quick note and let everyone know that the Robinverse is officially live!

ESwS #1 - Chapter 8 - The Trip Home

When Sarah awoke the next morning, she found a large, black tin case lying on her nightstand, tied with a pink ribbon. A small note lay folded neatly, tucked up under the ribbon, and Sarah carefully pulled it away as she sat up, rubbing her eyes with her free hand. The letter was hand written in a very elegant scrawl, most probably Katelyn’s judging by the dark purple ink.

Tater Tot Casserole (Yes, it's real ;-))

As featured in Chapter 7 of Everything's Sunny with Sarah this is my family recipe for Tater Tot Casserole. You can experiment with seasonings to taste, but it's actually very good just going by this recipe (I can safely call it a family recipe because I learned it from my mom, who learned it from my Aunt Sarah years ago, who learned it from her mom :-))

Enjoy!

ESwS #1 - Chapter 7 - Sound Advice

Sarah had gotten herself hopelessly lost in a whirlwind of color and style thanks to Katelyn. She might have been a girl inside, but it didn’t give her all the affinities or understandings that she thought other girls just came by naturally. As she stared at the open walk-in closet at hanger after hanger of dresses, skirts, and blouses, with her old jeans - all four pair of them, nowhere to be seen, someone knocked lightly at her bedroom door.

She hadn’t undressed yet, so she simply called, “It’s open.”

ESwS #1 - Chapter 6 - Girls just wanna have fun

The distinct, pungent aroma of Sarah’s mother’s cooking struck her the second she opened the door. Perhaps it was that things didn’t just completely fall apart with Katelyn’s parents, or perhaps it was that four-letter word Katelyn used, but Sarah practically danced into the kitchen, wrapping her arms around Margaret’s waist.

~* Home Away from Home *~

“Well I was going to go get some lunch, but how can I refuse that? Okay, Counselor Dunham?”

“Yes Spirit?” Counselor Dunham answered, grinning back at me.

“Do you have a spare horse?”

“I saved one just for you dear,” she answered. “You remember Lulubelle, right?”

“Oh jeeze.”

ESwS #1 - Chapter 5 - Meet the Fu-- Derricks

The drive to Katelyn’s house was quiet, as neither of them had much to say to each other until, pulling into the driveway, Katelyn finally broke the silence.

“Let me do most of the talking,” she advised cautiously.

Sarah quietly nodded as she stepped out. She couldn’t have possibly known just how close to Nicole’s house she stood, but she had never visited this neighborhood before. All around her, large houses with well-trimmed lawns sat nestled on massive tracts of land with manicured hedges.

“Are you sure you wanna do this?”
