Fic Thing: Honesty is (Not) the Best Policy

[mark_asphodel]

AKA "FE11/12 starring genderbent!Marth"

Blame the kink meme.  The old kink meme, IIRC.  Anon wanted girl!Marth (born a girl, raised as a boy), bexp for Merric action.

Uh, except this is just the Prologue.  I got carried away.  Again.  Sigh. 

Notes later.  Right now, I just came off three hours of work preceded by a conference call, and I'm tired.

LOL!

:P

I just can't approach an idea like "LOL, Marth's a girl" without going over all the potential ramifications and how to deal with them. Especially as that universe has a canonical cross-dresser in Linde and an canonical genderbender in Xane. And genderlocked weapons. Too tempting, man.

Mark.

I love you.

I will write a coherent review for the fic after I've had some sleep (I just got home from work), but I just wanted to express my sentiment.

This sort of reminds me of Rose of Versailles in a way, actually, but even given my love for it, I really hope it doesn't go that way. And if this is just the prologue, I really can't wait to see where you go with this!

The overwhelming urge to delve into all the ramifications and everything is probably what's gotten me so stalled on the fem!Ephraim piece I've been bouncing around since. . . oh probably since May, now. Sigh.

But this sounds pretty awesome~

Getting carried away is half the fun of these things!

... says the guy who gets carried away every time ...

Yeah, I can see why it'd evoke RoV (surprised at the number of reviewers who mentioned Huck Finn, though-- not my #1 thought when cross-dressing comes up).

Well, for one thing... shit, what pronouns to use? @_@

That in itself is a struggle.

[mark-asphodel.livejournal.com]

Heh!

[raphiael]

Oh gosh yes, that too.
And then the murky "what do they identify as?" and everything. . . I want so badly to get it right.

And then the murky "what do they identify as?"

That was a really hard question, too.
