“Well,” Charles says, standing up. Things are a bit fuzzy, but he could get to the House of X just fine. He needs the walk. “If you’ll excuse me, my dear, I’ve got a funeral to plan.”

Summary
Charlotte Xavier is God's perfect little girl. Until she goes to university and finds out the world is far bigger and more interesting than she thinks. After meeting Erik, she is forced to reflect upon her own identity, and realizes she might not be Charlotte after all.
"I delighted myself on Erik. He carried himself with a certainty that I have not even once possessed in my life. And when he took off his shirt and let his small breasts be exposed, I was mesmerized. A body that went against everything I and most people had been taught. And he flaunted it like it was nothing.
I needed to talk to him. I needed to be part of his life. I wanted to sleep with him; I wanted to take him for myself. As if I could absorb parts of him somehow. Fuse with him, become him."Bookmarked by kelpforest

Summary
“You’re lucky, Zoro,” she had spat, eyes turned up towards the sky, like she was trying to hold in tears. He'd never seen Kuina cry before. He’d never seen any expression on her face other than her teeth gritted in determination or her grinning in victory. “I want to be the greatest swordsman too. But girls grow up, and their bodies become weaker than men's. I’m never going to be the greatest.”
Kuina tells him this, and Zoro can barely comprehend the words she’s saying. He thinks of the countless hours he’s spent training by the river bed, the green locks of his hair left on the floor after Koushirou helped him shear it all off, of the people he thought of as family a lifetime ago calling him by a name he despised. Zoro puts a hand to his chest, where he’d hastily wrapped bandages earlier that day, remembering how his body had begun changing and he didn’t understand why-
“You’re lucky to have been born a man, Zoro,” Kuina finishes lamely.
Zoro sees red.

Bookmarker's Notes
Read count: 2
240615 first reread note: This is shorter than I remember, I guess because this time I am no longer savoring it all with the first-time fervor + I am now more well-versed in OP + months since I shifted from a STEM to a humanities degree has honed even more my reading speed ?
My first One Piece fic. I was particular about it having Zoro be trans after finally giving One Piece a chance through the live action — Mackenyu is to thank for that — after seeing the vague as hell Zoro backstory and immediately thinking, Ah, the trans boy swag... Kuina was a manifestation of his previous self... The obsession with proving himself by strength and perseverance... There are transgender allegories for those with the eyes to see! A kelpforest essential reading especially on their zosan journey. Love.
Also, I always love Sanji being compared to the sea but to have it be contextualized along with his fiery temper and abilities? Chef's kiss!
Looking at Sanji made it easy to associate him with fire, and not just because of his diable jambe. He was hot-tempered, quick to anger, passionate… but truthfully, especially looking at him like this, so calm and peaceful, Zoro thought he was more like the ocean. The ocean was all of those things, but directed by so many complex systems of currents and ecology and weather patterns that it made Zoro’s head spin. It was easy to invoke its wrath, but could calm just as quickly, like the way Sanji would smoke his cigarettes and stare at the waves off the railing like he was now, like he’d do after the chaos that breakfast always was. The ocean was a complicated vortex of life and energy that left Zoro breathless.
