600 times now. Today I only had to look up curly kale and whortleberry.
I'm Glad The Truth Is Finally Out
Cathy agonized about when or if to tell Trish about herself. She should have known that Trish knew about it already. I am sure the judge was very impressed that Cathy has made a success of herself and wanted Trish to know that her mummy was someone to admire and emulate. he was obviously impressed with Trish and her initiative to speak directly to him.
Is that a milestone, or kilometre stone? or a bunch of them?
Whichever, congratulations and now get beck to the keyboard. After all, you already know what Cathy has done, don;t you?
It’s not given to anyone to have no regrets; only to decide, through the choices we make, which regrets we’ll have,

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

MILESTONES here in the UK, Holly, and long may it remain so.

OK, When Was Bonzi Ever IN The Bag? but WHY is Stella bonkers? Maybe when Puddin is in her arms, she'll be healed.

Why is Stella....
Think about all she's been through, since she got to know Cathy. I dunno about you, but most folks I know would be in pretty bad shape with just HALF that much happening.
I AM finding this story a nice diversion from the world out there. With all that's going on in my life right now, it's nice to be able to "put it aside" every now and again. Thanks Angharad.

Love the title and all I have to say is
... your droppings are always welcome :).

Congratulations, and
many, many thanks. 600 is an unprecedented milestone, and I love you to pieces for it. Please don't stop this story soon, you've a captivated audience, and I dare say that BCTS wouldn't be the same without it. So o-m-g, you're doomed! Doomed to forever write episodes of EAFOAB, or well until you reached a number approaching the total of Coronation Street.
If I may ask one small favor, would you consider a turn for the better for Stella? I feel so sorry for her, it's breaking my heart to see her slowly disintegrate into this hulk of a proud strong woman, ultimately crumbling into pieces. If you must torture and shatter some poor woman perse, take someone we can all dislike right from the start.
Thank you,
Jo-Anne
I Agree
I feel the same way about Stella's situation. That poor woman deserves something positive to happen with her. If you allow her to succumb to this darkness, then the scumbags who did this to her will have won. Cathy has been a miracle worker in so many lives. It is time for Stella to feel this too. Cathy has too much stress in her life right now. I have no doubt that she loves Puddin with all her heart, but this wee one needs her mother to be there for her. Besides, Cathy needs her sister to be Maid of Honor at the wedding.
Yes 600
Angharad; She did the right thing, telling fibbs to Trish would of come back on her later. Now 600 Chapters for the BEST serialise story on the WEB!!! Thanks Angharad! Richard

Loved heart-to-heart
between Cathy and Trish. Brought them closer than ever. Sure hope the courts don't screw it up but courts being courts I'm sure there will be more. I hope Stella is on a 24 hour watch. Feel so bad for her. Looked back at earlier chapters to remind myself of where Stella used to be. Sure hope that something can be done to bring some of that back.
Oh My! 600 episodes and the
Oh My! 600 episodes and the story just gets better and better. Thank you Angahard.
If Cathy has a blue light for "Puddin"; perhaps in her bag of tricks she can find a green light for Stella. Green would be for regrowth and regeneration of Stella's psyche. Trish constantly amazes me as she is so observant to everything around her, yet keeps much inside. She is a definite sweetheart. J-Lynn
GREAT EPISODE!
Angharad,
Congratulations on achieving this wonderful milestone of chapter 600! The story was perfect for such a milestone, filled with mostly uplifting elements (Cathy was even able to work a small bit of her magic on Stella...hopefully, she will continue to help bring her future sister-in-law back to health).
Here's looking forward to the next 600 episodes!

600th Chapter.
Just to let you know I'm still reading Bike. If you are wondering why there are gaps in my progress it's because I'm playing catchup at two different locations. One of them is at work where I still work shift, (it gives me a better schedule and more time to do my other stuff like clubbing and whatever.)That's why I appear to be reading the story in the middle of 'the wee sma' 'oors'.
As to the story; well you certainly touch upon many many aspects of the transgendered life. (I was about to say life-style, but that might be considered insulting to you because the word style implies some sort of temporary 'skin-deep' transience while in reality yours is a very real and permanant life.)
The story is a fantastic fantasy of Heroine Cathy and I can see your many feelings constantly showing through. I loved the way she (Cathy) bettered the psychoatrist, (That's right PSYCHOATRIST; the Psychopathic Psychiatrist.) I'm up to chapter 623 now but I'm stepping back to make a comment at chapter 600 because I don't make comments on the works computers. The IT Department might pick up something and out me.
God! I'll be glad when I retire with my index linked pension and free to spend all my time trannying.
This is a fantastic TG Soap and I'm enjoying it so much so that I've put my own writing on hold until I catch up.
Thanks for the lovely tales of Cathy,
Love and hugs,

Lots of things.
Lots of things happened in this chapter.
I don't know much about the subject, but I believe there very good meds for chronic maniac/depressive. Cathy's job, should she decide to accept it, it to make sure her sister take them the way she should. Too many real life stories people stop taking them and then something really bad happens.
Sounds like the snooty nurse was a bit friendlier. Wonder if the letter arrived yet? Most women do not mind changing diapers, especially for loved family and the first time. The real test is going to be Simon, I think.
I solved my Dads desire to change nappies by nailing him right between the eye the first time. Someone really should warn new dads about little boys.
600 and counting...
One of these millennia I'll catch up to the present. Wow. I'm with everyone else regarding Stella. Damn, she needs to catch a break.
It occurs to me that there's no reason that the blue light thing can't have some sort of in universe scientific explanation. After all, isn't magic simply things we haven't worked out the mechanism for yet? Of course, this might all be building for the ultimate dream sequence smackdown, in which case I'll have to send guys called Tiny in cooperation with Simon's Russian friends to sort out the author....
You know, I commented many many many episodes ago that there seemed to be an awful lot of swooning going on. (At least I think I did. I could just be imagining that.) I wonder if that's related to the blue light. Cue epic retcon in....
Hiya~
I have read for quite a bit,and i am quite happy to say that i love your writing~ thank you for writing such a beautiful serial <3
Aurora
Wonderfully handled, a guideline of explanation
WOW, did this chapter get a lot of comments !
I was wondering how soon Trish would learn everyone in Tom's house started off male !! Think of IT.
I think Cathy is now the baby's mother, Stella be damned. Stella still is unaware of Des' will.
Hey Angharad, easy way to finally get rid of Stella, locked up forever in a rubber wallpaper room.
About to bring up the fact that legally Cathy can't touch dormeese anymore, isn't it ?
Cefin
Well. I've made it through
Well. I've made it through #600, and it just makes me want to read more.
Those poor dormice, don't they need Cathy too? And, those bikes, just gathering dust in the garage. Sounds like my house. ;-)
A real yanker on the heartstrings
That's what this chapter is, and Trish shows how smart she is by putting it all together. Best part is her love for Cathy is just as strong now as it was before, it might even be stronger due to the common ground they have between them.
I had a big awwwww moment when Trish grabbed Cathy and snuggled up, putting her head in Cathy's lap.
Now this I don't understand
How can I be the first to comment on this chapter? Glad you are posting the tissue alerts, love it.
And of course
now the comments show up!
