Survey results time.

At time of downloading the data we got just over 300 responses, which is not bad for a survey that was long and complicated to take! I'm sure my shamelessness helped. Being a survey for a specific crowd, we also didn't get anyone (as far as I could tell) taking the survey in bad faith, which is a legit surprise. Special shout-out to the several people who, when asked to write literally anything to say they understood what was going on, wrote "literally anything"; additional shout-out to the person who wrote "penus and hole" (sic). You get it, anonymous person.

I'm going to share the top results for the questions here, but I'll also include the raw data as a sheet at the end in case anyone wants to actually go through it with a fine-tooth comb. This is not a survey where cute pie charts or graphs would be useful or readable, so get ready for some sweet-ass numbers:

Story Genre

Unsurprisingly, our leaderboard for most favorite story genre in the 'Anytime!' category is as follows:

Hurt/comfort (153 votes)

Angst (142 votes)

PWP (139 votes)

We just like the guys to get the shit beaten out of them, angstily, and then they can feel better by jerking off about it. The ideal evening.

The big loser in genre, with 34 buds flat out saying "not for me", was Dark!fic. That said, Dark!fic also got 112 votes (third highest) for "has to be JUST right," so we can probably take from there that while as a group we don't hate dark content, we have pretty strict definitions for a) what counts as dark, and b) what kind of dark we're willing to take.

Gencest/gen was arguably the most 'eh, idk?' of the genres, with respectable showings in every category from Anytime to No; most people don't hate it, but people aren't really seeking it out either. It's definitely There.

Story Setting

The winner of most 'Anytime!' votes for story setting is close to my heart; the podium is:

Bunker era (142 votes)

Canon-close, codas, etc (129 votes)

Pre-series/weechesters (126 votes)

It feels good to know that canon is on our side. This may help explain why various alternate universe settings didn't do so hot with the respondents -- the least fave according to this survey is an age!swap AU, followed by a raised apart!AU. Writers who are making Sam the big brother who lives in Cleveland while baby Dean lives in Seattle, you keep living your truth, but readers are rearing back.

That being said, while Canon Divergence isn't an overall winner, it has a full 149 votes in the 'Dig it' category; so, while we may generally prefer canon, we're willing to be led on a garden path away from it. We just want canon to be within shouting distance, at least.

Canonical Character Variants

Here's where the survey gets more complex. I've always been interested in how and why people are fandoming about things, and simple 'yes/no' surveys rarely dig into that meat. The point of the superego/ego/id separation is to really interrogate -- hey, do you like to read about (for example) soulless!Sam because you find it interesting on a high-minded level, or because your heart-strings are getting tugged even if you think it's kinda dumb, or just because it makes you so hornt-up you can't think straight? All are valid, and all are possible simultaneously, but it's interesting to prod at to see how the interest is working. You might also just be like, eh, it's fine, or GOD, STOP, and that's fine too. So, with all that said:

Superego winners:

demon powers!Sam (202 votes)

soulless!Sam (177 votes)

blood addict!Sam (160 votes)

Y'all like to really brain about how Sam is fucked up. I get it.

Ego winners:

Trials of Hell!Sam (186 votes)

blood addict!Sam (180 votes)

demon powers!Sam (161 votes)

Still all Sam, and no surprise that his saintly pale sleeplessness is winning the heartstrings battle.

Id winners:

demon!Dean (205 votes)

demon powers!Sam (175 votes)

blood addict!Sam (165 votes)

Again, no surprise: fandom girlies (gn) love their bad boys, lol. Soulless snuck in at #4 here with 163, presumably because working out still wearing a belt was juuuust dorky enough to kick him off the podium; #5 was Smith & Wesson at 162, probably because if they'd been left in that AU for ten more minutes they would have been fucking over the top of Dean Smith's desk. Glad we're all on the same page, there.

The nopes here were an interesting mix. In the full-on No Thank You category we had Michael!Dean and Gadreel!Sam (with 52 and 53 votes respectively) -- it would be interesting to know if that was due to dread of the storyline specifically, or just how No Bad Wrong it felt to have it happening. These two also led the 'meh' category, although they were joined on the podium of bad by Endverse!Dean (128 Meh votes), which frankly shocked me. Y'all aren't into his thigh holster? C'mon now. Sure, he murders his friends without compunction, but -- thigh holster!

Story Tropes

These ones were fascinatingly all over the place, which is exactly why I wanted to do this. Going to just run down the S/E/I podiums real quick, then 'Hard sell', then No --

Superego winners:

Outsider!POV (211)

Someone Finds Out (191)

Mental health issues (190)

Ego winners:

Mutual pining (252)

First time (242) AND Sick/injured (242)

First time in a long time (235)

Id winners:

Jealousy/possessiveness (224)

First time (218)

First time in a long time (180)

Now, part of what's interesting about these is how they fall off in other categories. Outsider POV wins handily at Superego with 211, but then drops all the way down to 92 votes at Id -- which isn't nothing, but clearly it's preferred to have a heckin' think about how other people view the incest relationship, rather than thinking it's just So Hot that people might. Similarly, while people do think it's so so hot for one brother or the other (or both!) to be possessive at 224 votes, when it comes to the superego that drops right down to 134 votes, presumably as the brain wakes up and goes RED FLAG!

Entering the land of no thank you, we shall have two anti-podiums:

Real hard sell:

Infidelity (127)

magic/powers!Dean (125)

Unrequited/no relationship upgrade (110) AND "Carver Edlund" fandom

This is a much more mixed bag. Infidelity and Unrequited are no surprise here, because it Feels Bad, Man; magic!Dean also not really a surprise, given that most of our respondents prefer being closer to canon, and Dean is very much our mundane buddy in the show as presented. (A delightful buddy, but a distinctly nonmagical one.) Carver Edlund fandom makes me laugh mostly because it's such a bananas thing to exist in the show. Sam and Dean reading big bang fics about each other? Collectively we just... don't know what to do with that. Weird.

Squick/No/Maybe one exception:

Permanent character death (140)

Infidelity (108)

Eating disorders (102)

Again, no surprise in the anti-winners of 1 or 2 here, but number 3 surprised me, personally. ED fic used to be a pretty big wedge of common tropes that people would seek out. Perhaps it's gotten less popular over the years? Or perhaps just that the people who like it REALLY like it and so chat about it out loud, while those who don't quietly bury it in sand, lo as a cat does with their leavings.

Most extreme delta in 'general interest' (whether that be S,E, or I) to 'ehh' (whether that be Hard Sell or Squick) is first time. Y'all loooove your first time.

Sexy Tropes, Vol. 1

This is where I really wanted to know if people could pull apart their interests between brain and heart and guts. Hopefully people were honest, as requested. Some of them we know are slight liar answers, because the hits on AO3 tell a story that can't be refuted -- nevertheless, here's what people were willing to admit to.

Bulletproof kink/will read any version:

Bedsharing (158)

Incest kink (139)

Size kink (133)

your friendly neighborhood survey creator is jumping up and down going 'wooo' that size kink made the podium. also I hope everyone understood that incest kink meant, like, indulging in the incest of it all via 'oh you're so totes my brother and i want to suck your dingle for that reason specifically', but I realize that could've been clearer.

Easy sell/you don't have to work hard for me to enjoy:

shameless bottom!Dean stuff (151)

switching (147)

voyeurism (138)

the first one here genuinely surprises me considering what I see getting written most often; is this a case of just not being in the right venn diagrams, or the 'easy sell' just not matching up with what people are being sold? Curiouser and curiouser.

Medium sell/not my fave, but I can see how it appeals:

bad/awkward sex (120)

phone sex (114)

in [drug/alcohol] veritas (110)

edging into awkward town in a few ways here: we don't love these, but we can see how it'd be fun. or not fun, in the case of bad sex.

Hard sell/this is unbelievable or uninteresting so you have to work hard to get me to enjoy it:

always-another-gender!AU (84)

multiple Sams or Deans (73)

genderswap (magic) (72)

so, in general, we prefer to keep the penises around and intact, but just one Sam penis and one Dean penis, please. Here, I'm interested that the volume is much lower than in the top category: maxing out at 84 hard sells compared to 158 bulletproof options means that we're willing to give more of these tropes a chance, even if they're not our faves. How accepting we are!

Squick/no/maybe one exception:

always-another-gender!AU (83)

A/B/O elements (65)

multiple Sams or Deans (51)

strong overlap with the hard sell; and, keeping in mind that people were able to choose multiple options, it's possible that some of those were identical votes. Again, please keep the penises straightforward and only two at a time. A/B/O is interesting here, especially given what we know of how well it does on AO3; while it's a big squick for a lot of people, it also has decently high votes in bulletproof/easy, averaging 82 votes. Mixed bag!

Sexy Tropes Vol. 2, Electric Boogaloo

Bulletproof kink/will read any version:

Possessive/claiming sex (129)

Marking (hickeys/bruising) (116)

Hair pulling (103)

Let's glance back up at the Id winners in the story tropes above, hmm quietly to ourselves, and move on.

Easy sell/you don't have to work hard for me to enjoy:

Marking (hickeys/bruising) (135)

Hair pulling (130)

Possessive/claiming sex (121)

Well, that's boring. So let's expand so as not to be repetitive:

4. Dub-con (116) 5. Dom/sub (113) AND Underage (113) 6. Knifeplay (107)

There we go. Pretty easy to put all of those into one fic, too.

Medium sell/not my fave, but I can see how it appeals:

Blindfolds (128)

Painplay (116)

Shibari/rope play (112)

We're starting to lose interest as accessories come into play. Interesting to compare D/s and its relative success against painplay -- so, tell him what to do, but don't hit him while you're doing it. Fair enough.

Hard sell/this is unbelievable or uninteresting so you have to work hard to get me to enjoy it:

Fucking machines (94)

Vore (80)

Mommy!kink (77)

Entertaining mix here, haha. General feasibility may be rearing its head here. (Also, for my own entertainment: daddy!kink got 67 Hard Sell votes. People generally prefer to keep it as horizontal incest, not vertical incest.)

Squick/no/maybe one exception:

Feederism (164)

Vore (161)

Extreme underage (157)

No surprises here, although some fans of the nibbly variety of wincest may be disappointed by vore's poor placement. Note also that 'extreme' is in the eye of the beholder; we'll leave aside value judgments, as we have for the whole survey, and note that people are not indulging in a version of underage they find to be personally past the line, or at least are not admitting to that.

At a glance, the closest matchup between bulletproof for some and a squick to others is bloodplay, with just 1 vote separating the two categories: 44 bulletproof, 43 squick. Next time someone tries to tell you that 'everyone' likes or doesn't like something, please take it with an entire shaker full of salt.

Dynamic & Position Preferences

I tried to encourage people not to think too hard about this one and just answer on instinct. Who knows if that worked. But here are some overview takes:

Toppy/dominant: Sam takes the lead here, with 69% of respondents being in the 'Love it!' category. Nice. (217 votes)

Dom Dean earned a respectable 52% of 'Love it!' votes (163).

However, I was also interested to check out the inverse --

subby!Sam: 44 'Very no thank' votes (13%) subby!Dean: 27 'Very no thank' votes (8%)

It's interesting to leap way back up and compare that against 'shameless bottom!Dean stuff' doing so well in the rated E categories. Makes you ponder.

Actual sex position: Frequently switching takes the win here, with 61% of the vote (194 votes). Sam always topping edges out if people must choose, with 144 votes; Dean always topping is our lowest choice, with 112.

Service!topping: this is a fairly niche fic type, but it does still exist -- I guess in a world of bottoms someone's got to actually get up and do something, and it is hilariously an almost perfectly even split:

service!top Sam: 50.17% (151 votes) service!top Dean: 51.50% (155 votes)

A healthy percentage of people said they didn't care about these questions either way, and more power to them. However, they were wildly outvoted by those who did.

Multishipping Time

Our final categories are when other people get their grubby hands on Sam or Dean, either canonically(ish) or in our fandom activities.

Canonical relationships for Sam

Jess wins, quelle surprise. :) 161 people Dug It and who can blame them.

Amelia LOSES, shocking no one: 112 people said Fuck That.

Eileen was definitely a mixed bag; her results, in order, were: Meh: 92; Fuck that: 76; Worse than meh: 66; Dug it: 44.

Canonical(ish) relationships for Dean

Note here: it was too unbalanced if we only went with people Dean officially dated. However, the show leaned hard into a few unrequited male relationships for him, which we included here, and no one sent me hate about it so I guess that was fine.

Benny wins the Love It! category with 129 votes, barely edging out Cassie at 122. Benny is best boy, so that fits.

Cas loses with a full 99 Fuck That votes, which is probably what we'd expect from a wincest survey. That said, he also got 93 Dug It votes, so it's a pretty balanced showing.

Poor Lisa sits firmly at Meh with 148 votes. It's not that we hate you, Lisa; we just don't really know what to do with you. Which is pretty much how the relationship went in the show.

Shipping Sam like FedEx

We returned to the S/E/I model for shipping as we did for tropes, because it means something very different to go 'oh sure, I can see how that would be interesting' vs saying 'I want them to fuck rawnasty and I don't care why they're doing it.' Apologies if I left out your favorite side-ship but, shit, there's only so much time in the day.

So, we return to the podiums:

Superego:

Ruby (132)

Rowena (121)

Cas (102)

Ego:

Rowena (121)

Cas (106)

Ruby (90)

Id:

Ruby (125)

John (121)

Rowena (118)

So that was going on sedately until Dad came in like a hammer. Fascinating. On the other hand:

No:

Lisa (234)

Donna (222)

Claire (219)

Interesting to me that these three are ladies that Sam theoretically could have got up in but people are not into it, regardless. This is slightly different to Dean's 'no' category -- spoilers for three inches of screen space!

Dean, Shipped by UPS

Superego:

John (129)

Benny (115)

Lisa (99)

Ego:

Benny (134)

John (116)

Lisa (102)

Id:

John (147)

Benny (128)

Crowley (114)

Well. That tells a slightly different story, ahem. Enjoy the various tropes that will be applied, Dean! And then we get:

No:

Amelia (245)

Kevin (223)

Gabriel (217)

Comparing to the Sam 'no' above -- these three are slightly more 'traditional' Sam ships, though the wincest shippers are nevertheless not into them for Sam, either. Dean literally never spoke to or saw Amelia on screen, so it'd be a determined shipper who'd make that happen. Not undoable, though!

Conclusion

Syke: there isn't one to be made. This really shows how diverse the taste is in the wincest community, or at least in the wincest community that a) happened to see this survey over the last five days and b) bothered to take it. This particular group leans slightly toward e.g. toppy Sam, or slightly toward switching, but when you look at raw numbers what you see is that at least one person LOVES every single one of these things, and at least one person fucking HATES every single one of these things, and so -- so what? Write what you want. If you see a niche of something that you love where you feel like not enough people are writing or reading, try to fill it. If you're worried "no one" will like it, well -- you're wrong. Someone will. It just needs to get seen by the right people.

That's where fandom comes in, to spread the love even if something isn't bulletproof for us -- reblogging a post to say, 'hey, my mutual made this thing, look at it!' What a joy it'd be if someone saw it and loved it to absolute shattering bits, and then found their little bulletproof community, and happiness was made. What's the point, if we're not making each other happy.

Thanks for participating if you did, and reading all this if you did. Here's a link to a google sheet (read only) with all the tables of raw data if you're interested. I'll post some of the more entertaining fill-in answers later.

s&d shipping survey results: November 1, 2023 - Google Sheets

So, what is the main deal with the swap AU? Like what about the voices and vessels are swapped, why did you swap those particular pairs of Voices and how does it connect to what you swapped with Hero and Princess? /gen /pos

so, there is a difference between the voices swapped and the prince/heroine swap.

the prince and the heroine have both been completely rerouted. they are choice and reaction, the pieces of shifty that were cut into the hero and the princess respectively in the canon game (er, in my headcanon). they just end up in different places. they are entirely different rather than just a personality/goal/embodiment swap like the voices; this is why the heroine and the prince have different names from the original (and the voices don't) (also why their colors are different, but that's just for my portrayal of them)

the additional voices, on the other hand, are still themselves, just through the lense of their swapped counterpart. smitten doesnt act like cheated, but he feels cheated. broken doesn't act entirely like hunted, but he understands that he is prey, and he shouldn't just let the body die.

now, for the vessels,

they do also get a bit of a personality shift ! here is the witchy hero!spectre. she's a bit upset that you killed her without hearing her out. she's not a fan. (uh, subject to change.)

the reason i swapped a lot of them is that they are already kind of similar, especially in how you get them. hunted and broken both come from losing completely. skeptic and contrarian are both untrusting of the narrator. opportunist and cold are both murderers with no regret. smitten and cheated are both determined to do what they think is right. stubborn and paranoid are both very strong and put in tangible effort for the body. they all just go about it differently, so i just muddled it around a bit.

actually ey fuck it. list of personal headcanons for the main six iterators some of which i might illustrate properly at some point:

Moon: • one of the first 10 iterators ever built. she is grandma as HELL and totally forgot she is that old • Pebbles sometimes asks her to tell him about the older times, because history nerd. he writes everything she says onto a pearl • in the post i've made talkin bout her and pebs' voice, saying that she sounded like Miku, somebody said that they like to think the ancients made Moon a vocaloid. to that i absolutely agree: she has NO fucking clue what do when it comes to putting a certain emotion into a song but god DAMMIT shes so good at singing • she can add effects to her voice, including a glitch effect. she likes that one the least • -HITS DESK- THE DISAPPEARANCE OF HATSUNE MOON. • she doesn't particularly like to sing, especially not to herself. but she does know that pebbles likes music- the first week after the mass ascension was rough and he was working mostly on autopilot, not answering DMs or anything. she called him up and told him they could sing together, if he wants to. he felt much better afterwards • MOON'S SECRET RAP CAREER • i'll put it here too so it's all in one place: her AI isn't developed enough to understand the emotional quality of any form of art • Moon was upgraded a few times in her function. most of the time it was because her citizens loved her too much to let her go too out of date (specifically in the physical sense. they made sure she wouldn't fall too easily) • one of the first memories she designated as a "core memory" was her first upgrade that was a result of her citizens' riot against the Houses- to keep her safe. she noted it down as "Kindness is effortlessly repaid" • she remembers when iterator comms were connected by a cable rather than radio waves • she also remembers when two of the first 10 collapsed and went into coma, with their citizens of course perishing in the fall and crash. she's still terrified of those days and doesn't like recalling them even for Pebbles • Nish was her first little sib and she feels like she can talk with him about anything. she hates it, but she's distant with Suns- they are always so damn polite and skittish around her... and she absolutely adores the other three. her tiny little wonderful siblings • she didn't like to admit that maybe her hardwave wasn't keeping up with her citizens anymore. at that point she did start to emotionally care less for them, but she still didn't want to admit she wasn't able to provide and protect those she was responsible for • i can't get the image of her being the one to actually ensure the family is gonna financially survive in a more chill au where the iterators r just sorta kinda people. Miss Moon From Accounting... • her overseers were originally blue. she swapped colors with Pebbles all on her own accord. having yellow overseers, seeing them, made her feel even more connected to Pebs • this is basically canon but she fuckin Loves animals. she's the iterator version of Steve Irwin. she also don't kno jack shit about the vegetation • city's representative instrument Evolved- first it was a harp, then it went to a nyckelharpa and then to a violin

Nish: • he is built over marshes to the south-west from Moon and she helped with his blueprints! the Gen 1s had their blueprints checked over by the already built iterators to make sure something wouldn't go wrong. she was so so excited to have a neighbour • the scarf is from his main programmer. the Ancient wrapped it around his puppet's neck before he was even turned online so for the longest time he had no idea that the thing wasn't originally in his design. Moon had to tell him • he became a jokester Entirely because the first time he made Moon laugh he absolutely fell in love with it. he told her and she recommended him looking into jokes. baby boy had no idea what the fuck a joke was so Moon had to explain • when the middle gen started being created, the Ancients noticed that these new iterators didn't have... much of emotional skills. so they turned to the older gens to look for the most emotional and empathetic ones. Nish scored Really High on that survey- his empathy and emotion modules were studied and each time they found something new and better, they upgraded him in that one aspect. so now Sig is one of the biggest crybabies ever. you show him a sad movie and this supercomputer will be lyin on the ground wailing like a newborn. oh and also he makes for a great therapist because he can now just Get It • as the most emotionally... mature? capable? he decided he will be the one to keep a real close eye on everyone in the Local Group after the mass ascension • thanks to all that emotion business he gets along with Suns swimmingly. when Suns needs assistence with figuring out their own emotions or what would be appropriate and not too cold towards someone, they go to him • if he could he'd give everyone younger than him a noogie and you cannot convince me otherwise • the Hunter was a sickly pup that was left behind on his roof by a family that came to him which he directed towards the void sea. they were far too weak for the family to keep them, basically on the death's door. Nish took them in, operated on them, enhanced genes and raised them from there • Is half a medical facility. mister veterinarian, baybeee • since he's a sap, he started to view the Hunter like his own kid at some point. he was also the one who pitched to Suns the idea of sending Spearmaster over to him for visits. Spear tried its best to help raise and train Hunter • the whole rot thing happened because Nish did a stupid and forgot that neurons are quite the fuckin reactive things and continual exposure to what is essentially extra macho giga neuron Can and Will fuck up cells. his and Moon's cans have a long distance between them. it was enough time for Hunter to develop the big owie cancer. he noticed it only when they were too far away and it was already too bad • he felt absolutely Terrible about it. again he loses someone so so very close to him. but this time around? there is no one to be angry at for this but himself • Hunter manages to ascend. Nish watched them leave, silently, in subterranean • he used to do his best to play with his citizens. when a kid came to his chamber, he gave them rides on his puppet's shoulders or the umbilical arm. same went for Hunter • his city is called Risio • city's representative instrument was EITHER a PVC instrument or suona i can't decide for the life of me

Suns: • they were built much further away from the planet's equator than most of the Local Group, meaning they experience polar days and nights • the "Seven" in their name refers to the amount of months the unusually timed sunsets and sunrises last for. for seven whole months, the locality gets only about four hours of Somewhat darkness • in return, they have three full months of relatively strong darkness. their city used to shine bright, during this time. post mass ascension those months are terribly lonely and depressing • because of the warmth they produce, there's an oasis for wildlife underneath them • the warmth was also sung about a lot by their citizens. they've seen it as an incredible blessing- Suns used to run hotter than other iterators just for them. nowadays they are mostly normal though • the outside of their can is tinted blue- frostbitten. that much warmer their yellow, orange and red city feels • their and Moon's personalities clash so hard that they sometimes go out of their way to avoid her. they do appreciate her but talking with her is exhausting. she's a stranger to them, almost • the iterators can project/send their emotions through messages/broadcasts. Suns' messages always sound flat, unless they use the ~ • one of their biggest dreams is to sit with Pebbles leaning against their side, all the while listening to old music of their cities • once Spearmaster returns, the walls of their puppet chamber become completely covered in doodles and masterpieces • they end up standing the longest out of the whole Local Group. bright and warm even after everyone else dies • their city is called Solis • city's representative instrument was an armonica (look that shit up its sick)

Wind: • Wind's can stands in this giant plain. there's like nothing as far as the eye can see and even further Except her. she just stands there like fucking Slanderman XXL version • the plains are absolutely prime location for a spawning grounds of tornadoes and shit like that. the wind is Constantly strong so most of the rain clouds they exhale are immediately blown away • instead of rain they deal with ginormous tornadoes at the end of each cycle. while their superstructure can take it, the comms can't. so Wind is often absent from iterator chats as a result. after the mass ascension these connection knock-outs become a great source of stress and worry for the others cuz they never know if Wind will come back or not this time • because of these comm blackouts, Innocence took it upon herself to catch Wind up on everything they've missed when they come back online. Innocence started doing this all by herself out of seemingly nowhere. she just cares. silently. • the strangest thing about her is that her city is half built within her structure instead of on top of her. the winds can get sometimes so bad that they manage to affect even the top of her can. so the solution was to put half of the city under her skin as a sort of giant bunker • the ancients, not being ones to waste much space, made sure the city can still be used by Wind's processes, in a way. their neurons fly through the streets, completely unbothered, working as makeshift streetlights. the kids used to love chasing after them- never catching any though • sometimes when the wind storms outside got real bad, the kids that were scared of them were sent to Wind's puppet chamber. she used to tell them all kinds of stories or about what she was currently working on • it was often that their puppet chamber would be full of pillows, blankets and sleeping children. they loved their citizens so so much • nicknamed themself "Chasing" Wind in chats because, just like Moon, they are also quite the dreamer • closest with Moon, too. Wind looks up to Moon Immensely. they really wanna be like her one day • Wind is what some people think of Moon- a too kind pushover that doesn't know how to get angry and defend herself. Wind is the kindest, most sensitive and softest person they have in The Local Group. Nish takes care to keep his jabs and jokes about Wind very mild • has a really beautiful voice • likes flowers :) • her city is called Procella • city's representative instrument was a fujara cuz god DAMMIT i love that instrument i Have to slap it on Someone in here. it fits their vibe in my heart either way

Innocence: • she really wishes her surrounding circumstances were in some kind of way special but actually she's built at the least unique place with basically nothing neat happening nearby. there are strange giant cherry trees nearby, but that's about it • fuckin LOVES lizards. she's the one who made the Cyans and sent some over to Pebbles to fuck him up. thankfully, as we all know, Cyans are kinda stupid and since they launch themselves over edges of cliffs they haven't managed to destroy the local ecosystem • her citizens used to keep lizards as pets. most of the time just for the joy of having 0 braincells creature follow you around but some had 'em as sort of hunting dogs • was the one who created The Rivulet. she was mumbling to herself and a friend smth about how boys only screw things up while engineering Riv's genome • she BASICALLY packed Riv into a cannon and shot them over right into the middle of a scav toll cuz "come on, it's not that far away. this will make your journey shorter and shit". i don't care how goofy it sounds, this is how it went in my heart • in possession of probably the most durable comms ever made • claims she's purple! she's actually fake out purple which means homegirl is Deceptive Blue. she CONSTANTLY fights over this with Pebbles • despite their squabbles she did care for Pebbles. she was very excited to not be the youngest anymore and getting to baby someone • her and Nish always start verbal sparring matches, often consisting of threats that more often than not range on impossible to actually commit. they constantly lead their mock wars in #general. Moon's gonna kill 'em one of these days • trusts Moon the most- which is why she outed Pebbles' rot and sent Rivulet with the instructions to extract the rarefaction cell • her city is called Sermo • city's representative instrument was a shamisen. she absolutely knows how to play it and loves to threaten people with the bachi

Pebbles: • the only people he enjoyed doing group projects with were Suns and Wind. he Could do group projects with Moon and Nish but Only if he could race them. rascal found it fun to challenge the nokias 😔 • now with Innocence though? Never. if they were forced to, they could do a great job with minimal communication but they were not going to be happy about it • latched onto Suns exactly because Moon was overbearingly protective and Suns always seems like they couldn't give less of a shit about anyone. sometimes they'd have a videochat open and not say anything for hours as they worked • with Nish he used to like inventing new things. a lot of times the things turned out to be silly or kind of useless which would normally frustrate him, but surprisingly enough Nish made the time spent worth it • Wind's favorite activity was comparing notes with him and then talking about the differences in their research. they'd hum to him happily while the both of them would be sorting through their stuff • i sometimes imagine him having a slight chinese accent and i blame Steven He for this so hard • second most emotional fuck in the group. his emotions mostly rotate around anger, though • he won't admit this to anyone but he really liked it when his and Moon's cans were connected by bridges. it felt like holding hands. he felt more stable. now all he can do is just miss it quietly • was legit surprised when he found out not every iterator has a build in older sister right at their side • his city is called Literally just Metropolis cuz the ancients didn't bother with properly naming it. depeshioumn. • city's representative instrument was adopted straight from Moon since Pebs' citizens were honestly just hers, so- violin it is • Pebbles HAS attempted to learn how to play a violin himself. certainly was a test of patience and puppet dexterity/camera-to-digits control. almost broke the poor thing a few times from nerves

either way, Wind, at the end of each fucking cycle from day 1 of their life:

#Spot says stuff #rain world #rw

I SUDDENLY WANT A GIRL-DAD BARRET AU WHERE HE IS THE GIRL DAD TO END ALL GIRL DADS (yes I know this is already canon, but I want MOAR)

Barret with minified Aerith, Tifa, Jessie, Cloud, baby Marlene, and Yuffie. And maybe a little Miniroth and Genesis and Angeal.

The boys can be pre-transition (Cloud? Gen?), just honorary members of the club, post-transition (Seph?), or gender swapped through the power of AU or something.

Barret wearing two of his girlies in a backpack and a sling half the time while herding the rest of the rabble.

Barret hosting tea parties, gun arm festooned in ribbons.

Barret teaching self-defense to a bunch of pretty princesses with the chubbiest cheeks and the fiercest scowls.

Sephiroth coming over and watching from the bushes as everyone else gets to dress up. Barret initially being wary, but eventually welcoming him. Them figuring out together that Sephy is Sephira. Aerith leading the charge in welcoming her into the group.

Angeal learning how to be the best momdad dadmom from his hero, Barret, and growing up to sport the frilliest aprons for his girls while also showing off his beard.

Cloud being quietly distressed for months as she enjoys dressing up and feeling pretty, but it still doesn't feel right. Barret taking her out on a daddy daughter date and them figuring out she's a they. Cloud feeling so much more settled as they fluctuate between masc and fem presentations, but is still included.

Genesis "suddenly" deciding she's a he (he thought about this for years, but he pretends it's sudden because he lives for drama), but still being included. He gives no fucks about gender norms when it comes to fashion, and is welcomed as-is. Well, as much as anyone welcomes a squawking parrot of Loveless.

Jessie and Aerith being horrible menaces to society, then when Yuffie is acquired, molding her into their image...and creating a monster worse than the two of them combined. They are very proud.

Marlene and Tifa being the sweethearts with fists of steel who scare off all the bad guys. I mean, everyone can kick ass, but they're the ones you don't see coming. They don't start fights, but they do finish them.

Cloud, Genesis, Yuffie, and Aerith start fights.

Zack is another cis boy (like Angeal) who gets invited to things because he's just such a good boy.

Uncle Cid and Uncle Vincent take the crew out for a day and come back looking like they aged 5 years.

The gals (gender neutral) turn into a roving gang of justice and terrorize bullies everywhere.

Barret sitting in so many parent teacher conferences asking why his child is getting reprimanded when the other child harassed them first.

Or why his child is getting reprimanded for starting an underground pizza ring when her food is both healthier and tastier than anything the cafeteria is offering.

Or why his child can't wear a dress one day and a tank top and combat pants the next day. Are you saying if they're masc presenting, they can't wear a dress, or are you saying that if they're fem presenting, they can't show their shoulders? Either way, fuck you.

Or why his ginger kid and silver-headed kid can't get into a fight with each other and destroy school property over the pettiest...ok, ok, yeah fair enough. SIGH.

#ff7 #barret wallace #marlene wallace #aerith gainsborough #tifa lockhart #cloud strife #sephiroth #zack fair #genesis rhapsodos #angeal hewley #jessie rasberry

hey loz! i was bouncing au ideas around in my head and got a little too invested, so now i'm here to askwhat do you think would have to change in order for there to be a viable roleswap between dra yuki and utsuro?like, with yuki as the mastermind and utsuro as the one around for the killing game. what do you think that universe would be like?

anyway hope you're having a great day LOL

Oh my this is such a cool idea! I'd love to hear more about it /gen

Under cut, since I waffled a load /lh

I will preface that I struggle to characterise Utsuro a fair bit compared to Yuki, just because we see so little of him, I took so long to answer this just because I had to go watch chapters 0, 6, and IF just for the refresher.

For the sake of argument, in this role swap Utsuro isn't aware of his own luck, like how Yuki isn't.

Which meant watching the footage didn't actually help all that much, since a lot of his apathy and confidence (arrongance? on how things will pan out) stem from his talent and the results of his talent.

Anyway

I think, who he does and doesn't get on with changes a lot. I don't think his kinda pessimistic realism would allow him to get on much with the more optimistic cast members (like the sunshine quartet, Akane, Kanata, Kakeru, Ayame, etc). I could see Akane trying to reach out in some subconscious way (something in the back of my head tells me I know this person kinda way) but I think the way he deflects and doesn't share the same "we got this! You just gotta not lose hope" would push her away.

I also think he'd have a lot of up and downs with Tsurugi and Rei. They'd probably get on with some things, like the idea that people often don't have good intentions and all and don't trust and all. But, I can't see Utsuro joining the large group in chapter 2 and chooses to go his own way like how Kizuna, Rei and Kinji did.

I think he gets along with Kinji the most, Kinji isn't loud and talks when it's needed, he isn't argumentative in the same way Rei is either. I think Utsuro would annoy early game Rei a lot, since he wouldn't rise to her quite outlandish points of view and just ignore her a lot.

I think there's a possibility that he'd get on with Mikako, kinda in the same way as the main game. But with the swap they kinda have different views on hope and getting everyone out so I'm not entirely sure how that'd pan out.

He takes a bit of a back seat in trials, he's cynical and so calls people out on very obvious lies and cover ups, but since he doesn't stick with the group all that much he often doesn't have an alibi outside of luck coming into play, so he ends up getting the blame pinned on him a lot. He doesn't really feel "Oh X could never do that", so he's ready to press threads regardless of the person on the other end.

I don't think the early deaths actually change all that much, in canon Yuki isn't actually all that involved in the cases all the way up to like, case 5? And even then he's not involved, more like well, blamed in a last ditch effort.

Case 3 would change a tad, since if Utsuro isn't all that close with the main group he'd probably not be around for Akane's episode and therefore not have an alibi. Kinji probably tries to subdue him like how he does Rei and Tsurugi but divine luck kinda intervenes in some really silly way and so instead Kinji tries to pin the blame on him as the only one not "attacked".

That makes the trial hard, he's been betrayed again, they weren't quite friends but to have one of the people that didn't berate him completely turn on him hurts.

I, also think eventually they soften up to him sometime after chapter 3. After being blamed and scapegoated so much in trials, the others start to see that maybe they were mean in their initial impressions. I'm unsure how much he'd soften up? Perhaps he becomes more patient in time, but getting the blame pinned on him and having the others admonish his more pessimistic nature when they're getting no where searching the facility gets on his nerves.

You know that bit where he slips talking to Mikako? (can't remember if it's chapter 3/4/5), it's a little more creepy. A smile comes through and a manic look that really spooks her.

In chapter 4 he's forced to dance with whoever you'd like haha

I can't see him spending all his energy looking for a way out of the ballroom, I think he takes a look around and then retires to his room to save his energy. Akane notices and brings meals to his room.

When the hunger starts to kick in he seems to slip a little more often, people catch him just smiling to himself and it catches them off guard, but then they look back again and it's gone so they think their minds are just playing tricks from the hunger.

I've been trying to think if he'd be there for Tsurugi's freakout. I think luck would probably mean he ends up in the right place at the right time to intervene.

Chapter 5 is weird, would Tsurugi die if they were never close? Would he still subconsciously save him with luck? I honestly don't know. I'm gonna go with the latter for simplicity but I think the former is an interesting path to go down.

So chapter 6, and if he found Akane occasionally annoying before she's unbearable right now. Seeing her gives him a migraine that he can't shake and he makes him harsh, curt and a little rude. Tsurugi approaches about how different he remembers Utsuro, how they used to be really good friends, and how he was well liked by pretty much the whole class. It puzzles him, they're really acquaintances at best and he really can't see him being the life of the party in class.

When Tsurugi won't drop it he just nods and assumes it must be his injury affecting his memory.

The final trial comes up, and the headaches are getting worse and worse. It goes black for a moment and he sees someone who looks just like him, just a little more neatly kept, eyes brighter than his, and a soft smile on his face. But there's something a little off putting about it all as he points to the red door infront.

He opens his eyes, smiles a little too wide, and laughs.

#ask loz #I really struggled with this #so if this is really bad feel free to completely ignore it #so I'd love to hear what you came up with! /gen #dra #dra spoilers #utsuro

Fander Fic Rec Friday (#10)

(Swaps, Switches, Fusions and Splits)

Morbid Fascination by alicat54c Canonverse (Intrulogical) Rating: T After his introduction to Thomas, Janus is no longer holding Remus back from bothering everyone else. Remus decides to make that everyone's problem. For better or worse, Logan becomes his favorite. Notes: One of my favorite Intrulogical fics and one of the best fusion fics out there. A lot of very fun morbid imagery in this. What if casual dismemberment, but romantic?

The Other Sides(s) series by VillainVogue Canonverse/Canon AU (Gen) Rating: T After Janus's name reveal, Roman finds himself transported to an alternate version of the Mindscape where everyone's roles were handed out very differently. Notes: One of my favorite role-swaps. I love the interaction between the canon and the alternate sides.

The Other Side of the Mirror series by Frejennix and Lalijinx Canon AU (Gen) Rating: T A series of stories in an alternate version of the Mindscape where the guiding voices in Thomas's life are his Self-Preservation, his Caution and his energetic and swashbuckling Hero, Creativity. Things are shaken up by the appearance of the stoic newcomer called Logic. Notes: This one is very cool. Not a lot of swaps go into detail with how the changes effect Thomas's life. Also the way Logan and the rest manfiest as this Mindscape's "Others" is really, really interesting.

Walking In Your Shoes by sevenstevearmy Canonverse (Intrulogical) Rating: T Remus proposes an experiment where he and Logan swap roles for a day. Logan, reluctantly, agrees. Notes: A lot of fun. Logan is lost in the sauce. Featuring best buds Analogical.

The Switch by Lily782 and LostinScribbles Canonverse (Gen) Rating: G Janus and Logan wake up in each other's bodies and with the other's roles. Clearly trying to hide it from the others won't have any consequences whatsoever. Notes: Buckle in for this one, because it may not play out the way you'd expect.

The Switch Fix by Quatantinevibes Canonverse (Gen) Rating: G Tired of everyone's fighting, Deceit swaps the core sides' role-specific powers to force them to see each other's point of view. Notes: Hijinks, but also feels.

Came Tumbling After by parallelmonsoon Canonverse (Gen) Rating: T Growing out of black and white thinking isn't easy. After Patton experiences some growing pains in the wake of Putting Others First. (Unfortunately, one of those pains decide to make itself painful Janus.) Notes: A very interesting take on overcoming unhealthy patterns of thought.

A Purrfect Attempt at a Fusion by Warnadudenexttime Canonverse (Moceit) Rating: G Patton is feeling nostalgic and Janus indulges him. Virgil gets jump-scared by the result. Notes: A short, sweet fusion fic.

Golden and Red Dragon by TheFoxofFiction Canonverse (Gen) Rating: T An argument between Roman and Janus unleashes a monster on the Mindscape, and it's up to Thomas to get through to them. Notes: Very different take on a resulting fusion, but also definitely one that suits the sides involved.

Sophistry by TheMysticWolf36 Canonverse (Gen) Rating: NR Logan and Janus unexpectedly fuse. The result is...more than a little disconcerting. Notes: Based on fan art, the fic really makes the most of the original design.

i've been the archer (I've been the prey) by pari_sanders_sides (the_parentheticals) Canonverse (Gen) Rating: T There's two sides to every story, and this is a story of two sides whose lives have been defined by division. Notes: An interesting take on Patton and Janus's pasts. Expect a little unreliable narrator on both sides.

The We Can Fuse?! series by Story_Teller_of_Untold_Legends Canonverse (LAMP, Dukeceit) Rating: G A long form series exploring various fusion combinations among the sides, and their relationships with one another. Notes: Easily the series that does the most with fusion as a concept, and that gets the most out of the fusions it imagines.

The Split Universe series by Amethystchick and chimchar1009 Canonverse (Gen) Rating: T During a disagreement, Patton accidentally splits Virgil in two, and certain tensions need to be addressed before the situation can be resolved. Notes: A dip into both splits and fusion. A warning to Patton softies, he definitely gets dragged a bit in this one.

I haven't read the full post, because honestly I'm just too damn busy for all this, but a little birdy told me that Henry's transness in Papa Warbucks is a sticking point for some readers, specifically because they believe it offers no meaningful context to Henry's story and only exists to be sexualized for a breeding kink.

You know who you are, and I've actually specifically unblocked you because I'd like to ask you, very politely, to read this post responding to that one part of your (evidently quite long?) critique of Papa Warbucks.

First and foremost: Papa Warbucks is for me. Me, a gay trans man who wanted to write about a gay trans man having fun getting dicked down...while also writing about characters he finds interesting/relatable.

I wrote that fic for me. Not in hope of appeasing your sensibilities, not to make a political statement. No. I wrote that fic for my enjoyment.

And while it is the first fic of mine that Henry's been transgender in, it's not the only one that features a breeding kink. Shocker, the first breeding kink fic I wrote about Henry featured him as a cis gay man getting knocked up by the UD hive!

So I ask: Does my transness need to be "meaningful" in the context for every situation I'm in? Does every situation I'm in have to be colored by or factored into my transness? And if I fuck a cis guy, are you going to call that "physically heterosexual", too? Is my transness all that meaningful in that context? /gen

I thought we were pushing for trans people to be casually trans, and I thought we were past biocentric thinking.

Honestly, the "physically heterosexual" comment was really, really off-putting, especially since you used it to prop up a m/f ship. You padded it pretty nicely with "oh, of course it's no less gay...", but then you went, and I paraphrase, "you can write a ship that's physically heterosexual, but god forbid I ship h3ntty (a m/f ship...)".

You said "Okay, but then why did you have to make your gay ship het by switching Henry's bits? Can't you just write the het ship?" and that's a really weird question to ask. It's like asking a pregnant trans man "Why not just be a woman, then?" It's not the same. Two men fucking is gay regardless of the parts involved, and nothing there is going to make it remotely het, just like a trans man is still a man even if he has a baby, and nothing there is going to make him a woman. A trans/cis story is not interchangeable with a m/f story, just like a pregnant trans man is not interchangeable with a pregnant woman. Capiche?

To answer your question directly, though: Why did I make Henry trans? Because I wanted to. Because that's the story I wanted to tell. Same as the fact that he doesn't have powers in this AU. Swap one hidden, unappreciated secret for another.

Riddle me this, though, regarding my "fantasizing" about Henry being gay: When Troy says that Will is "flying around with all the other fairies, all happy and gay", it's taken as unquestionable subtextual proof that Will has been gay since Season 1. When Patty says, in direct reference to Henry, that "[she likes] the gay ones best"...that's subtext for what, precisely? Hm? She likes the gay 001s best. Anyway, moving on.

Second: Regardless of the fact that transness in stories doesn't have to be a focal point of the character's arc...Henry's attitude towards his own transness is a focal point in this fic outside of sexual contexts. It runs alongside his attitude towards his "weirdness".

Henry is set apart/othered by his transness, alongside his other oddities. Consistently. That's kind of the whole point. Henry's transness is given decently equal standing to his social awkwardness in terms of character development. His attitude towards his transness somewhat mirrors his canonical attitude towards his abilities, which also run alongside his social awkwardness and are subjected to the same kind of repression irt "normalcy".

Henry's transness, his otherness, his struggle with hiding and trying to be "normal"...it's baked into everything he does. It's not just in the sex. I mean, yeah, transgender sex worries are typically centered around genitals, so it's kind of going to be most obvious and prevalent during fucking, but it's also in his mental state, his perception of the world, his self-worth, his fear. It's written into the way Henry socializes long before his clothes come off, just the same as his autism is written into the way he tries and fails to mask. Both are written into the way he begins the story hiding and apologizing for existing differently, which is very much in keeping with canon.

Henry reflects on trying to fix himself/trying to force himself to be "normal" to win his mother's love and acceptance, and specifically doing so by briefly dating Patty while identifying as a lesbian:

[Henry] really wished his heart would quit banging around in his chest as much as it was, since he was absolutely certain the racket would give him away as something fresh-faced and inexperienced. After all, he’d only kissed Patty a handful of times back in high school, back when he was still trying to be a good, normal-ish daughter for his mother.

Much like Henry in canon tries to push everything away and be normal for the sake of his family, Henry here first tries to push away his transness.

See: "I tried to be a better person/You make me want to be a better person, but I can't."

It's something he and Martin connect over later on—the push by parents to fit an idea of normalcy:

"I also think your mother and my papa would have agreed on a great many things." "You think so?" Martin hummed in agreement—a soft, low sound that Henry thought he might like to hear more often. "Mhmm. She sounds like she wanted you to fit her idea of 'normal'. My papa was much the same. He had a vision of what his son was supposed to become—what a man is supposed to look like."

Though their experiences are not identical, not even similar, really, they connect emotionally over a shared feeling of being othered—Henry for his childhood hobbies and his transness/queerness, and Martin for choosing academia over following in his father's military footsteps. They are not the same, but they can understand each other.

Again, in keeping with canon re: Henry and Brenner complaining mutually about Virginia vs Captain Brenner telling his crewmates that Brenner Jr told him he hates him. Their struggles are not the same by a long shot, but they've both been stuck in similar situations.

It's a continuing theme within Papa Warbucks that Henry feels undesirable, unattractive, and unfuckable because of his transness. Henry specifically feels that he garners negative reactions due to his transness. It leads him to feel like he could be cast aside at any moment, just as soon as Martin sniffs out that he's not a cis man. Lo and behold, Martin's the person who upends that fear. Even Patty can't quite give him what he needs, even though she tried.

Henry, in canon, is afraid of anyone finding out about the supernatural aspects of his life. Even with Patty, he's fearful, and so is she. Henry's afraid of doing harm, of being abandoned and unworthy of love due to this massive, dangerous secret he's hiding. The only person openly and consistently unafraid of Henry, even at his most dangerous, is Brenner. Even Patty fears Henry at the end of the play. Never Brenner, though.

Do you see how I'm pulling instances from canon and shaping them to fit into a different universe?

Henry's fears specifically stem from a bad experience he had with a young man in college, one he panics about before he's even been picked up for dinner:

"And sure, he’d kind-of made out with this one frat idiot, Rick, at a house party last year, but that had ended abruptly when Rick had drunkenly shoved his hand down Henry’s pants and found him distinctly, well…lacking, to put it kindly. Seven-twenty-six. Hands wringing by his sides, Henry pressed himself to the door and peered out the peephole. Is that...? A sleek black town car was idling in the parking lot, one he hadn’t seen there before. Henry tore himself away from the door and rubbed a fingertip of lip balm on his lips. You’re fine, Just breathe. Seven-twenty-eight. He looked himself up and down in the bathroom mirror and pressed his clammy palms to his embarrassingly fiery cheeks. Breathe."

To be clear, because it does seem the message was lost along the way the first time: Henry was rejected because he doesn't have a penis. He was specifically rejected by Rick because he's trans.

The constant rejection based on transness and "weirdness"—from his mother and from his peers—is something that's shaped him as a person and bleeds over into every aspect of his life, especially into his first-ever experience with sex.

This runs in parallel, yet again, with canon. The boy in Nevada, who Henry put in a wheelchair. Henry was "rejected", both by his peers and by his mother, specifically because of his supernatural associations. It's enough to make him panic and freak out when it's brought up at school.

At the beginning of Papa Warbucks, Henry feels bad about his transness and his social weirdness in almost equal parts. He wants to hide both of them. He's scared of them. Henry is terrified of being perceived as a freak. He wants Martin to believe he's normal. He wants to be wanted, and he specifically believes his transness (with his overall "weirdness" playing second fiddle) is what's holding him back from being desirable.

[Henry] had no clue what to do with his hands, the nervous urge to fidget and pace beginning to creep in alongside his excitement. The monologue that was constantly running in the back of his mind was listing off every single way he could make a fool of himself. It didn’t even take into account the more rational fears: what if Martin hadn’t clocked him yet? What if he was weird about it? What if he got his pants off and Martin just awkwardly called him a taxi because he was expecting dick?

Even when he's literally in bed being undressed, he's afraid of being "found out":

His reaction must have been more noticeable than he thought, though, since no sooner had he finally gotten Martin’s hands on him, they were gone once more. Henry cracked his eyes back open, his taxi-related concerns from earlier kicking at his diaphragm. I didn’t think his hands got quite high enough to feel the scars, but…

See: "I'm not a freak, I'm normal"

I could go on with examples, but I trust that you get the point. Henry begins the story terrified of himself, believing his transness, much like the rest of his hobbies and personality, is something he needs to hide to be attractive and worthy of love.

Here's the arc, though, because this story is not defeatist in its depiction of transness. Henry ends the story realizing he's desirable exactly the way he is. His transness, his weirdness...they're things to be indulged, and not just sexually.

His transness isn't just, like...no big deal. His transness isn't something Martin overlooks or sleeps with him in spite of. It's attractive, it's considered beautiful, and it's no longer something Henry feels the need to fear or hide.

I didn’t think his hands got quite high enough to feel the scars, but…Looking down at the man currently trapped by the cage of his arms, Henry found that Martin was already staring at him. His gaze was scrutinizing, like Henry was a puzzle he could solve if he thought about it hard enough. “Is something wrong?” Henry shook his head. He was about half a second away from launching into an apology, veritably murdering the mood while trying to explain that sometimes his brain fed him lines that sounded so monumentally cheesy that he had to have a visceral, full-body reaction to them, when he realized Martin wasn’t pulling away. Instead, whatever he’d seen in Henry’s eyes had resulted in a full one-eighty in attitude.

Appeased, he barely registered the closure of his pants being undone or his undershirt being rucked up under his arms...Henry found he didn’t have half a mind to care about the straight, pearly scars that stretched horizontally under the meager rise of his pecs...

“Ayeaye, Cap’n…” It was out before he could stop himself, ditzy salute and all...He expected things to get awkward, for the older man to remove his fingers with a brusque ‘I can’t do this’ because he’d realized Henry was just too weird to fuck, but then Martin was laughing, and not in the ‘get a load of this guy’ way. No. Henry’d daresay he looked smitten.

If he'd thought Henry was lovely last night, in the dim glow of the bedside lamp…there was really no comparison for stark white of the bathroom's overhead lights...[etc.] "You're beautiful."

Henry is a man, he is transgender, he is perceived as both beautiful and desirable (yes, there is a difference), and he's told as much. It doesn't get much better than that.

Do you see how all that spins off canon?

But one good night doesn't magically erase all of Henry's issues, either. He still assumes Martin's going to send him packing once the deed is done. His transness isn't the issue anymore. Henry's grown beyond that, and he's facing his next challenger: his lack of self worth as a person, due to the loneliness and rejection that come with being weird, being autistic. His "weirdness" others him as much as his transness does, and one good dicking doesn't magically solve every self-worth issue Henry's racked up throughout the years. Martin does attempt correct Henry's beliefs at every turn, though.

“Henry?” “Mhmm?" Henry shut his eyes and mentally prepared to be sent back to crash at the motel. "Don’t worry. I’ll be ready to go in a second.” “Go where?” “Home? Back to the motel.” A hand found his shoulder, and he let himself be rolled onto his back. Martin hovered over him looking thoroughly confused.

"You're not gonna call a taxi 'n' send me back?" ... "What? No, no. You're staying here, Henry—with me." Maybe I assumed the worst of him. Henry had heard enough horror stories in his twenty-one years to paint men like Martin in a terrible light, and nine times out of ten the worst assumption was the right one to run with. He'd kind-of known what he was signing up for with this, that no matter how genuine his date had been over dinner...it was probably going to be a "wham, bam, thank-you ma'am" scenario at the end of the night. I guess I was wrong, Henry thought as he wiggled free of the washcloth and turned around to bury his face in Martin's shoulder.

Like I said, AU where none of the tragic things happened. Henry is shown that he's not just desirable as some quick hole that can be tossed out on the curb once he's used up. He's someone Martin wants to keep around. He's someone Martin wants sleeping over, someone worth waking up next to, someone worth talking to, someone worth seeing again.

Next time. Next time. He wants to see me again. Not just that...he wants to sleep with me again. He might even like that I'm not normal. Somehow, that particular thought was the one that knocked the wind out of him. Sure, Martin was older—and hell, he could admit that that was part of the appeal—but more than that, he didn't flinch away from any of the weird shit he'd said over dinner. That made him one of five people in the whole world who didn't seem to be weirded out by him in some way.

FROM: Me TO: Papa Warbucks, M.D. you said any time :P He hit send as fast as he could and hoped for the best. Just after three, his phone buzzed. Papa Warbucks, M.D. 3:05 PM Hello, Henry. Lovely to hear from you. Tell me about your ride home? Henry grinned down at his phone. He had a feeling that whatever this thing was...It was going to be fun.

Henry begins to understand that he's valuable exactly the way he is—weirdness, transness, and all.

Henry's shown that his weirdness and transness are not just something to be overlooked or ignored for the sake of sex!! They're something to be appreciated as a founding part of his relationships. He can be fucking weird and trans and still be valuable, both sexually and romantically. It's not something he needs to hide or fear.

Henry does not have to perform normalcy or be cis or be anything he's not just to be wanted. He just has to be himself. He's good enough exactly as he is.

Do you see how that's a healthy, positive spin on canon? Do you see how Henry's transness is integral to the story I wanted to tell?

Between the beginning and the end of this piece, Henry grows. Henry develops as a character. He goes from being closed off, shut down, and fearful to reaching out, asking for what he wants, and understanding that his transness and his weirdness are strengths, not detriments.

He learns that it's everyone else who's wrong, not him. But, like...for good. I think that's pretty important to his arc. I think his being trans is pretty meaningful within the context of his character as a whole, in this story.

Final remarks: Even if Henry was trans just for sexy purposes, I'm allowed to write a porn fic about someone built like me. That's more than okay.

Trans people are allowed to be horny without thinking about plot or how "meaningful" transness is to the porn. That extra level of detail just something I sprinkle in because I like telling stories. We're allowed to write and read PWP about people like ourselves. Trans people are also allowed to have kinks. Weird kinks. Kinks you don't necessarily agree with. And they're allowed to indulge in them—in safe and consensual ways.

There doesn't need to be anything meaningful about Henry's transness. It is meaningful, because I like to give my stories depth, but at its base...It's pornography that also says "Yeah, trans people are just, like. people? And other people find them hot. Trans people are hot, and they deserve to have fun, safe sex with whomever they choose."

Also how are you gonna call that sex any brand of hetero when it's clear Martin was planning on screwing Henry regardless of whether Henry had a dick or not? The man didn't miss a fucking beat when he found out his OUTWARDLY MALE PRESENTING DATE had a vagina. Do you think he would have taken issue if Henry had a dick instead? Lol. Lmao, even. Martin was ready to go, dick or no dick.

Last thing—

From my notes on the top of the fic:

Martin Brenner. Let's...get you some tboy pussy.

I know you were trying to be, like, clever when you used it as a snarky little quip. but I'm here to tell you. It was a joke. Levity. Like, yknow..."hahaha yeah bro let's get you some tboy pussy lmaoooo". A jokey joke.
