Open to the floor - Genderswitch
Oct. 8th, 2008 06:49 pmSo, thanks to reading genderswitch fic in the Supernatural fandom, I have this strange bunny for The Dark Is Rising. It starts with Will showing up on Bran's doorstep, still in his male clothes, after some kind of problem to do with his work for the Light -- some mythical artefact, perhaps: I haven't got my copy of the Mabinogion here with me, but somewhere during that, Math fab Mathonwy uses a wand to change someone's shape and gender all at once. So something along those lines. And he's obviously changed gender. Didn't dare go home to his parents -- oh, they'd be kind, he knows that, but they wouldn't understand. Not that Bran would understand, either, really, but it's different with Bran. And he's right, Bran lets him in, somehow knows not to ask too many questions. Makes him a cup of tea.
There's awkward moments at bedtime -- Bran assumes they'll share a room like always, and then remembers, and blushes hard (you can see it so well when he blushes because he has such fair skin, and Will knows he hates it) and tries to make Will have his bed while he sleeps on the sofa. Will says they can sleep just like always, but he makes Bran go out of the room while he changes.
And then, of course, it's been a while and Will's not changing back, and he gets his period and he just wants to die. And Bran discovers that he does have masculine urges about looking after women after all, and he wants to take care of him. And Will snaps at him for this because, fuck, he's not a girl.
And then they make up, and there's hugs, and Bran thought that would make it just like always except he's noticing how soft Will is against him, and even the smell of Will's hair, and oh, god, this is changing everything.
And so on...
