“Okay.” Willie nods a couple times and takes in a shaky breath. “So, you know how when I came out I said… I said I wouldn’t care if people used, like, feminine terms for me?”
Alex nods, suddenly much more certain of where this conversation is headed. He wants to say he’s less nervous, but now he’s just anxious about how he made Willie feel this anxious to ask for what they want.
“Right,” Willie continues. “Well, I kinda realized that I don’t really know if that’s true, ‘cause I’ve never tried it? Like, no one’s ever used those terms for me but I was looking at myself in that dress you bought me and I kind of… want to… try?”

Summary
a place that makes you forget grief or sorrow
“What did it all mean?”
“That I loved you, until it broke me.”
---
Death was only the beginning for each of them. But what darkness was born on that island still lingers in his heart. Ellis wants to forget the mistakes he’s made, there’s only one way to move forward, but Keith and Nick aren’t sure if they’re ready for reconciliation— especially when their entire world burnt down because Ellis had it in him to be selfish. A ghost ship, a woman who should have stayed dead, and the lies keep piling on top to bury him; even if the infection doesn’t get him, will they still be human, when they finally reach the end? He loved them, once. Ellis is just trying to find it in himself to love again, even if its only in his memories.Series

Summary
It’s about as far out of Stede’s comfort zone as he’s ever been.
Which – considering in the last two years he’s moved out of his family home and moved in with his girlfriend and boyfriend, it’s a pretty big statement.
He can’t bear to walk home in one of the outfits Mary had picked out for him, but when he gets back to the house Stede rushes straight into the bedroom.
Izzy and Eddie are both at work, which gives Stede the space to lay each item across the bed sheets, eyeing them up in the new light. They look different in his own home as opposed to Mary’s, more like clothes he could own rather than a borrowed disguise from a loved one.
“What the hell am I doing…” He shakes his head in disbelief, but he’s already feeling the trim of the fabric, marvelling at its softness underneath the pads of his fingertips.
~’*’~
Stede considers his relationship with gender a little more closely.

Summary
A series of fics exploring womanhood through bnha characters. Most of the ideas I have rn are are gender bends (mainly cis swaps but not all) and some are about the canon ladies too.
Basically just me exploring wtf womanhood even is. Fics include
1. gays of a feather: Fem! Deku vs discovering her bisexuality and the gal pals phenomena
2. knights in shining armor: Butch Lesbian! Bakugo vs compulsory heterosexuality
3. Ad Astra Per Aspera: Ochako vs her conflicting desires to be respected and liked in a male dominated world, plus Butch Lesbian! Bakugo
4. Hers Not His: Fem! Todoroki deals with her bisexuality and her tendency to self-sabotage to spite her father.
5. Souring Grapes: Fem! Mineta is a terrible person, which is not a surprise- Words:
