Summary
⌜Not that he feels like much of a woman, and he knows that she knows that, but for these purposes it does give him a leg up on a true (or at least cisgendered) man. Yet – when she starts the car and he turns his head to look out the window, he can’t shake the sick feeling that washes over him knowing that anyone (man, woman, or other) could commit such an atrocity, so he still doesn’t feel good about his own staked claim.⌟
AKA: five times where Hardy being butch feels like it causes problems for him + the one time it works in his favor.

Summary
Claire called him ‘Alec.’
He doesn’t like being called Alec, Ellie thought to herself. She looked over at him, at how he immediately curled in, shoulders hunched, arms brought forward to cross protectively over his chest. She tried to catch his eye, but Hardy resolutely did not look back at her, eyes fixed on Claire.
Something was very wrong. She just couldn’t put her finger on it quite yet.
