    Every Mercedes Lackey Novel, in one minute:

    Jack has a terrible life. He's gay, or smart, or poor, or rich, or geeky, or from the wrong country, and his family, or whatever is in charge of him, is just awful. Jack may or may not be a girl, but we'll call him a boy just for generalization's sake.

    One day, things get too much for Jack, and as he's being beaten, raped, mocked or scared, or running wildly from his house, which is on fire, or otherwise getting the heck out of there he meets a magic horse, or a magic native American who is bleached extra white, or a Jack from the last book, and discovers that the terrible thing that happened which caused him to flee is, in fact, his fault... Jack is exhausted, and the magic injun makes it better. At last, Jack has met someone who will understand him. You see, Jack's life was hard, but deep inside, he was special, and now he's met people who know it.

    Jack's special powers are trained by the magic injun, or the magic animal, which is handy, as just as he's coming into his powers there is a MAJOR WORLD ENDING CRISIS back home where everyone always hated him. Despite having every reason to say screw you, Jack goes back, and saves everyone who was mean to him in the past, and he teaches them a lesson! Those people will totally never be prejudiced against people like Jack again... until the next book.
