Necessary Adjustments 8: Gideon

For the first time since he had arrived, Sam saw Gideon falter slightly without finding a cover to play it off. The larger man seemed genuinely taken aback at the determination of Sam’s aggression.
“Look here.” He spluttered indignantly. “This is obviously poppycock and bluster. Even the stupidest specimens of your little troglodyte caste know better ever than even to think of laying hands on a Gentleman.”
“On a gentleman, Sir, absolutely.” Sam concurred, before placing a calloused hand on Gideon’s shoulder and advancing forward, bodily propelling the man a good seven feet back out of the latter’s sheer unprepared astonishment. Gideon stumbled backwards, wobbled as his feet stepped over the incline of the retreating lawn, and fell flat on his back.
Sam looked down at the bedraggled, unshaven wretch sprawled on the dewey lawn in front of him, then glanced behind him at Marcia and Lady Ashwater, who had turned back to the garden and were looking on in surprise and interest.
Gideon scrambled to his feet and dusted some of the grass off his creased and ruffled jacket. “All right then.” He growled, balling up his fists. “Put ‘em up you little runt.”

Two months after the Boxing Day ball, Sam has settled into his manhood and his occupation, but he is about to discover- to his violent cost- what made Mrs Breadworth and Mr Rathbone once speak so cryptically of the "son" that the Ashwaters once had.

An 8 page, ~4100 word chapter of my popular ongoing story Necessary Adjustments, which brings the trappings of the traditional wish-fulfilment force-feminisation story to a transmasculine audience. Follow the exploits of alternate-Edwardian gardener Samson Hocking as the conditions of his employment move him further and further away from his origins as the meek and innocent chamber maid Jessica.

In this chapter: Sam meets a new member of the Ashwater family and gets into a fight to try and protect his girlfriend Marcia.
