This is a modern cover of a Greek myth ala Netflix’s Kaos. I have never seen Netflix’s version, but I understand that it covers Orpheus and Eurydike. Mine is based on Artemis and Orion. I also threw in the myth of Kallisto because I’m addicted to happy endings. I buried some Easter eggs for any mythology nerds, and for you grammar Nazis – I am using the Greek spelling of Kallisto’s name. I know that NASA calls her Callisto. I hope you enjoy this little story as much as I did writing it.
A young boy of ten loses his parents, leaving him at the mercy of Child Protective Services. When he expects the worst, a legitimate foundation swoops in, offering him a new family and a chance to regain his future, perhaps even a better one. Nothing is free in this world though, and no foundation or corporation is completely benevolent, especially one that holds lucrative patents in nanotech.

Remember Mick and Renee from "I'll See You When I See You"? The story continues with "Expect Me When You See Me".

This is a simple, character driven romance. It follows Cousin Removed. There are also people and events from Maja's Mom and Science Experiment mentioned. The timeline of stories is, Maja's Mom, Science Experiment, Cousin Removed, Cousins Removed - A New Beginning. This story includes a previously posted story, "Thanksgiving" (modified for clarification) and provides the rest of the story. It is a romance and some may think parts of it are overly sweet. Love does that.

My story starts from when I was looking for work back in the nineties. I'd been unemployed for several months and the job on an island sounded like it would be fun. I had no idea how it would change my life. (Warning: contains descriptive bisexual and multi-partner sex.)
