    Summary

    Years prior, the Emperor of Li and the Grand Commandant came to an arrangement. By promising the La Princess to the Moon Prince, they hoped that they could protect their children and secure their futures.

    Maomao is against this from the start, understanding that if she became the Moon Prince’s consort, a man whose real name and face is a mystery to her, then her life would go from mixing herbs to dodging assassination attempts. Meanwhile, Jinshi does his best to avoid her… even going as far as to hide his true identity as her betrothed; believing that she will be no different from countless others who sought only to use him. But after she arrives at the rear palace, he becomes fascinated with the indifferent, freckled girl, who may be the only one able to see past the masks he wears.

    AU where Jinshi is forced to take Maomao as his consort—and future bride—against their will. To survive, the two begin to low-key rebel against a court of vipers in silk robes that’s trying to crown them and crush them in equal measure. Because here, royalty feels more like a prison.

    Summary

    Everyone comes from somewhere, even Yamcha. After all, it's not like he sprang fully-formed out of the desert, right? ...Right?

    Sand. Sand and sky and heat. Those are the first things he sees, the first things he feels when he becomes aware of himself...

    Had to bookmark this beauty, been a year since I read it but I couldn’t resist

    Edit: Amazing. Loved the journey, ending is a little rushed but the overall story is just so good

    Summary

    Karamatsu learned how to put on a mask. A mask that was at first heavy to wear, but eventually became a part of him. And with every passing moment this mask would become more illustrious and realistic that even he himself was fooled by the act. But what no one could see was how fragile this mask was, and how behind its perfect, happy features was more pain and lacking self-confidence than anyone could imagine.
    One day the act became too real, and Karamatsu’s flawless mask slowly began to crumble. And behind that mask was a girl who’d never seen the light of day.

    A story focusing on Karamatsu's transition to Karako, and the struggles she faces in becoming herself.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Fully contained narrative up to chapter 20

    okay wow... felt so many things, really genuine look at transness and transitioning. The final five chapters set up a really good thread re:difference in sexuality versus gender and where they intersect. Really wish it was a completed work, reads like a lot of heart went into this story. Would've enjoyed watching her go from baby trans trying to fit in with conventional womanhood into the bold babe girlymatsu we know and love

    One of those you could divorce from the source material completely and read straight (with a little bit of filing)

    Def worth a reread in the future (despite reading it twice already lmao)

     

    ALSO I LOVE KARAKO SO MUUUUUUCCCHHHHH oh my god my sweet sweet scared little girl I just want to scoop her up and take her shopping and to a proper therapist (love ichiko but karako needs someone she's not friends with to dump on)
    transgirl Karamatsu is so canon in my heart of hearts

    Summary

    Life can get pretty dull when you’re a 20-something NEET, but Karamatsu’s never really minded it too much. It was something like being on a carousel: the ups and downs were more or less predictable, but it was still fun enough to keep riding. But maybe one day it’s not so much like a carousel anymore. Maybe it’s more like a whirlpool, and all he can do is reach out, reach out, and hope blindly for a way to pull himself back to land.

    Summary

    Cages are for monsters. Azula knew this well. Cages were deserved, by those singular enough to earn the watchfulness of others. And if that was true, then Azula was the queen of them, for hers was a very careful cage.

    A careful cage for a monstrous girl.

    Well, tonight they would see if it was careful enough.


    A summoning-gone-wrong lands two princesses on a legendary quest to save the world that abandoned them both.
