This was so so fucking lovely. As I'm writing this, my brain is full of fog from days of mental strain and working really hard on a bunch of stuff and yet I couldn't stop reading. All 13000 words just strung me along sentence after sentence, and I never once felt out of place reading it. This is such a real and relatable portrayal of teenage trans struggles, many of these scenes reminded me of my own teen years (I sound so old lmao), and also a bunch of bullshit I went / am going through with my family.
From a narrative perspective, this was a fucking unique and striking take on an omniscient narrator, with all the different temporalities interwoven into the prose, and it always oscillating in serving as internal monologue or comment on the situation at hand. It quite directly felt like the story and world and characters were too big to contain into a neat narrative, and so their details spill out at every crevice. Absolutely fantastic writing.
