LaraMee's Lair

 Notes:  This AU is set in a residential facility for troubled children and teens.  These are not always going to be pleasant children, so there will be harsh language and descriptions of some very unhappy situations. 

Summary:  In this AU, Josiah Sanchez owns and runs a residential facility called Your Home House.  He also oversees the children’s spiritual needs.  Chris (age 12) and Vin (age 8?) are two of the children living at the House. As the series develops, Buck (Safety and Security; building management), Nathan (teacher, EMT), JD (direct care and recreational director) and Ezra (teacher and principal) will all be staff members, as well as Casey Wells (direct care), Gloria Potter (administrator for girls housing), Rain (medical care), Emma Dubonnett (administrative assistant), and some of the other secondary and minor characters will appear from time to time.  Nettie Wells will, as she is in other AUs, is a local social worker, or in this case, the director of the local Division of Family Services (DFS).  Judge Orin Travis will also appear from time to time as the juvenile court judge.  His widowed daughter-in-law, Mary Travis, is a reporter and has adopted Billy (Travis).  The setting is outside Indianapolis, Indiana (I’m a Hoosier and work easier on home ground).

 AU Status:  I welcome all comers; this will be an open AU, with one proviso.  If you’re interested in writing in it, please contact me for more information prior to beginning your story(ies) so that there is continuity in the series.  I like a harmonic universe ;) and want to keep the series flowing without hiccups.

Dedication:  To all the damaged children I worked with when I was on staff at a local residential facility.  There were a lot of flaws in the system, and I hope to vicariously fix them in this AU!

 Your Home House: The Originating Story.  This is an introduction to the YHH - AU.  It involves all of the main characters as well as some of the secondary characters, and introduces some OCs that should appear from time to time.  The two who appear in this story, Dawn and Aaron, are going to be compilations of the direct care staff I have worked with.
