Summary: “When I look at my old pictures, all I can see is what I used to be but am no longer. I think: What I can see is what I am not.” – Aleksandar Hemona (2009 au in which Dan is a trans boy)
A/N: Intense thanks and appreciation to everyone who has expressed interest and excitement in this fic. This has been an immense labor of love and I’m so proud of what this story has become. (warnings for: mild transphobia, cisnormative language, swearing, well-meaning people reacting to transness in less than ideal ways, mild internalized transphobia, mild smut, some arguing with parents)
