Chapter 8: Full Fathom Five

The bay has always been home for Yang, and her devotion shapes her world around it.

When Blake surfaces into her life, what was routine becomes unexpected, and what was ordinary becomes extraordinary.

For Blake, home isn't so easy, and when treating your life like a closely guarded secret is what comes naturally, the unexpected is sometimes exactly what you need to hold on to.

She wanted to talk again, to share things locked up tight - Blake had a way of doing that, of making it easy like few people had just by virtue of being there, four patient listening ears trained on her as always even out of sight. The assurance of their presence was something she knew she could rely on, steady and sure and so caring in all the ways that mattered most for her. The raw emotion of it all welled again, simple kindness enough to break her down - but there was peace in that, acceptance of letting things out with light at the end of the tunnel.

Chapter 8 of the Bay Bees fic is up! Happy birthday, Yang. Have some fuckin angst.

Yang: I'm coming out as a transman

RWB: that's amazing! As your friends we support you!!

3 years later

Yang: aah, bein on HRT is amazing

RWB: wft, why do look the same??

(I don't really have anything to add, sorry. Trans!Yang is valid, either as transmasc or transfem or nonbinary. I have a single fic idea for transfem!Yang, but generally don't have gender headcanons for Yang as anything different to canon)

[punkeropercyjackson]

'Fuck transphobes,let's make all the characters they love trans!!!'You guys can't even handle transfem Percy Jackson

'I love queer m/f couples who's queerness is subtle but very obvious!!!'You guys can't even handle Huntlow

'We need more media where the big grand slowburn is between two women and they're not punished for their romance!'You guys can't even handle Bumbleby

'Not every trans male character needs be a white nerd boy!'You guys can't even handle Hobie Brown being the trans boy-coded Spiderman instead of Peter Parker and his chemistry with the first canon trans girl incarnation of Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales

'I-'YOU GUYS CAN'T EVEN HANDLE ANY QUEER REPRESENTATION OR HEADCANONS THAT AREN'T TWO PASTY ASS SKINNY WHITE BOYS IN AN ABUSIVE RELATHIONSHIP.

Transfem Yang Week Day 4: What's it like to feel loved?

Yang put up a fake smile as she listened to Ruby and Weiss prattle on about the boys they were dating. It wasnt that she didnt like Mercury or Neptune, or talking about boys or girls or anything like that, but the more she listened, the more she wondered if anyone could ever love her. Well, more than just her family did. 

And yet, it felt like a dream that could never be hers. 

When she started to transition, she had started to think about what it’d be like to have a boyfriend, to have someone that could care for her and love her, to make her feel like a real woman. But over the years, the more she tried to find that love, the further away it seemed to get. Most guys stayed clear from her, and those that didnt seem to not want her for her, only as a prize. No matter how feminine she presented herself, it never seemed to be enough. 

“Are you going to answer Weiss’s question, Yang?” Ruby asked. 

Yang paused for a moment as she looked up from her lunch. “I-I uh… I didnt hear it.” 

Weiss rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Of course you didnt. I asked if you had your eyes set on anyone.” 

“I dont-” Yang put her fork down and stood up with her tray. “I should go study.” 

“Just dont be late to class.” 

Yang gave a small nod and let her smile drop as she walked away from her team. It didnt feel like she was allowed to have a crush, much less allowed to talk about anyone she was supposed to like. Not that she had really met anyone that she would admit having a crush on. None of the boys caught her eye and-

“Everything okay, Yang?” 

Yang nearly dropped her tray when she heard Blake’s voice. “Yeah, I’m fine.” 

Blake slowly followed behind. “Is this about what Ruby and Weiss were talking about.” 

“No, of course not,” Yang lied 

“You’re about as bad of a liar as Ruby is. They struck a nerve, didnt they?” 

Yang dumped the trash off her tray and put it away. “Its not that its… I love that they’re dating people that can love them, but I… I’m not allowed to have what they have.” 

“Why wouldnt you be?” 

“Because I’m… different.” 

“Being different doesnt mean you cant have love.” 

“It does when I’m not a girl like them!” Yang spat out, eyes going red for a moment. As her eyes went back to violet, she paused and looked away from Blake. “I should go-” 

“You’re as much of a girl like the rest of us,” Blake calmly said as she took Yang’s wrist to stop her. “I know a quiet spot where we can talk more about it. To put your mind to ease.” 

Yang looked away from Blake for a moment until she felt her gently pull on her wrist. With a silent nod, she started to follow her. Her mind raced with thoughts about everything she thought Blake would want to talk to her about. She followed through the halls and up to the rooftop, taking a few deep breaths of fresh air as she stared out over Beacon and the forest. 

“The view’s great, isnt it?” Blake asked as she sat down and stared out. “Figured its a quiet place for us to talk.” 

Yang sat down next to Blake and let out a soft sigh. “Why out here?” 

“To be alone. Easier to talk about things that way.” 

“I guess.” 

Blake gently put an arm around her. “What makes you think you’re so different that you dont deserve love?” 

“I-I…” Yang took a breath and pulled her knees to her chest. “If I tell you, you wont look at me the same way.” 

“Because you were born a boy?” 

“How did you-” 

“You’re not as quiet as you think you are with your medication,” Blake said with a smile as she pointed to her twitching bow. “But that doesnt matter. What matters is that you’re happy as yourself.” 

“Being happy with myself wont help others love me.” 

“It wont, but you still dont have to worry about that. There’s someone who loves you already.” 

“Ruby doesnt-” Yang’s words stopped as she caught a glance of the blush that started to cross Blake’s cheeks. A blush started to cross her own as she felt a hand on her thigh. Without another thought, she put an arm around Blake and pulled her close. “Thanks. I needed this.” 

Blake gave her a smile. “I know a place we can go to after classes tomorrow to eat. Just the two of us.” 

“I’d like that.”

Jaune: Hey, Ruby, I think you should know something about me.

Ruby: Yeah?

Jaune: I wasn't... born a boy.

Ruby: Yeah, I know. You were born a knight, that's why you have the sword.

Jaune: No, no, I mean, like, my gender.

Ruby: As long as your agenda isn't in with helping the Grimm!

Jaune: No, I mean like sex!

Ruby: Mr. Oum gave me a lobotomy, so I'd never understand what that means!

Jaune: No, I... I mean I didn't want to be a sister growing up!

Ruby: Why wouldn't you want to be a sister, silly? (Grabs Yang) I love being a sis~!

Jaune: Ruby...

Yang: I don't know how I got here.

Jaune: RUBY! I AM A TRANS MAN!

Ruby: Oh, I love trains~! Choo choo~!

Jaune: I... I don't-

Yang: Hang on, I've got it.

Yang: (Valian babble)

Ruby: (Valian babble)

Yang: (More Valian babble)

Ruby: Oh! You're a Norman, not a knight!

Yang: (Bit more Valian babble)

Ruby: OH! You're TRANSITIONING into a boy~!

Jaune: And... And you're okay with that?

Ruby: It's okie-dokie~!

Jaune: Oh, that means so much to me! My... My sisters used to call me a creature.

Ruby: Don't worry, Jaune! We're all creatures! Sometimes I even like to pretend I'm a cryptid just to freak out all of my friends!

Jaune: ...Uh-

Yang: She means well, she's just a bit autistic.

Jaune: Is it weird I get why everybody wants to kiss her?

Yang: Oh, yeah, the autism scores her bitches.

putting my thoughts together... looking back, the whole "raven left, and summer and tai got together because summer was there for him. then ruby sort of happened as a result of that" never really sat right with me.

and with this scene it does so even less.

i kinda expected them to kiss farewell, you know, having thought of them as being together for the past *checks watch* 8 years? but... they hugged.

to me, it makes me think they are together because the two of them are raising Raven's kids. Together, but not together-together, yknow?

it does feel like raven's words here aren't just because of summer leaving yang.

"what about... you're just gonna leave them?"

"you're one to talk"

Them. not just yang. them. And since Ruby's just far too similar to Summer to say that she's Raven's and Tai's... yeah. I wanna believe that she's Rosebird's daughter.

The daily prompts are below as a reminder:

Serotiny

ao3 crosslink

the light enters your eyes differently now sunlight after dark somehow unchanged yet unrecognizable from the girl before glare sharpened down to a waning point but untouched unmarred to you

she used to fill rooms up with just a smile and you thought you couldn’t touch such a blistering heat between you and the girl underneath

the heat doesn’t shimmer now the girl doesn’t fill the room but it’s warmer softer new kindling lit atop the embers scars smoldering into new growth green poking up from the charcoal you left

it seems treasonous to wonder to see haze fall away and think what remains is more real pain stripping away what was safe but can’t be anymore

maybe she’d hate you for that for finding bristles and thorns and soft moss after the fire dies and wanting to touch heedless of the blood pricked on your palms

the girl doesn’t fill the room now but it was empty without her

Capralepus made a fancomic of Ruby being Trans.

Taiyang of course was a supportive parent.
