Summary

He backs away from me, his eyes wide with betrayal.

"You're a... All this time you've..." Shang shakes his head. His voice is unbelievably fragile. "Gods, Ping, you're a girl?" he murmurs.

I let out a high, nervous laugh that does nothing to hide my distress. "You seem an awful lot more certain about it than me."

 Otherwise known as: a very gay interpretation of Reflections, involving Buddhism, bromance, and trying to survive a war while binding.

Notes by the Author:

For creativenamesareoverated.

This is basically a canon complaint about any of those genderbender romances which refuse to acknowledge the existence of bi people, plus my own personal interest in exploring the story of Mulan from the perspective of a trans character. Bromance and identity crises ensue. For a bit of clarification: I'm using the original spelling of Mulan/Ping's surname(Hua) to make it closer to the original ballad. Think of this as...a complex(i.e. confusing), sort of ooc AU of the original Disney movie.

Definitely one of my favorite fanfics. There’s so much angst and trans experience in the war setting. But it’s absolutely warm and lovely, the romance is great, the friendship is great, and Mulan is amazing. 

A great tribute to my favorite movie. Baby me would’ve loved trans!Mulan.
