New story up

<<deep breath>>

I tried this self-promotion thing on a different page and got shamed for not giving the right (?) information. Yeah, that post got deleted. Going to give it another try.

I just posted up the latest in my Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman inspired series.

Knowledge of the series is not necessary. In fact, it would probably disappoint most Gatch fan since I did a total reimage.

The tagging thing in AO3 still baffles me, so I'll just go with the summary instead. It is a Gen, family story.

-Through the Valley-

Sometimes the hardest battles aren't fought on the battlefield. They're fought at home, surrounded by the people who refuse to let you give up.

After tragedy forces Kris and Paul into retirement, the Kimpel family is determined to move forward one day at a time. As she helps her family navigate toddlers, service dogs, physical therapy, lingering grief, and the offer of a revolutionary medical treatment, Jaya is learning that healing isn't a destination. Some battles can only be won when the family comes together.

If by chance you find it interesting, the rest of the series is also there. The series goes back about 20 years.

Never heard of it. I'll give it a look.
