Excerpt: Sometimes Kurogane thought she should have been born male.

Sometimes Kurogane thought she should have been born male. It would have made ninja training much easier, for sure; less breast-binding, less flack from her fellows. She would never have to worry about her purity or demureness or any of the other feminine qualities she sorely lacked. She could just be.

Tomoyo-hime had sent her away, sent her to a foreign world and its odd inhabitants and this utter waste of time. She didn't want to learn how to be a girl, which were the words Tomoyo had whispered in her ear before sending her to that cursed place and its all-knowing witch. She would go home. The witch didn't question this desire. Surely she recognized that Kurogane needed to be at her mistress's side.

Getting home wasn't easy. She hated this-- the journey, the Mokona, and especially that Fai. She was more feminine than Kurogane would ever be, without ever trying. If this was the person Kurogane was supposed to learn from, Kurogane was just refusing, straight out. She wouldn't do it. Nor would she fall in love with that sweet-talker. All witches were trouble. One like this, fleeing all of her problems, would be a suitable mate for no one.

And yet... and yet...

Fai was lovely from the side, because you couldn't see her eyepatch. Kurogane felt unbalanced, and not just because of her arm.

Fai cried from the empty socket at night and when her fingers slipped under Kurogane's clothes, Kurogane let her touch. It was an orgasm neither of them enjoyed.

"Sometimes," Fai whispered in her ear as Kurogane shivered and came, "I think I should have been a boy."

Kurogane cried out once, gutterally, and then the night was silent.

I absolutely agree.

Isn't EVERYTHING hotter with angsty lesbians? :P

Oh dear lord, angsty X/1999 lesbian images are filling my brain. Again. (>___>)

This is begging to turn into a whole world in which everyone's genders are switched. *twitch* But a valiant girl!Syao protecting a witless sleeping boy!Sakura would be so CUTE! And then you'd have the hot angsty lesbians. >DDDD MUAHAHAHA.


[But that'd mean Yuuko would be like Clow... and Clow like Yuuko.... but omfg, Watanuki and Doumeki as girls would be AWESOME]

I like the idea. I think it would fit, oddly, lol. Thanks for the comment.~

You comment is starting to make me demand someone write this genderswitched AU of Tsubasa.

Oh, no. I think this is the opening of that can of worms... *waits for impact of genderswitch fics*

[personal profile] pleonasm 2008-07-30 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope I opened it. ♥ A fabulous idea, but one I'd rather imagine than write.

Wow, a female!Fai roleplayer... never met one! I'm glad you liked the piece!

would you like to play a female kurogane to my female fai?

Flattered, really, but I actually don't ship Kurogane/Fai.... to be 200% honest, I wrote this because a friend goaded me into it, because I told her I'd never write KuroFai and she said, "You have to! Make them lesbians!" So I did. But I'm flattered by the offer. ^^
