Summary:

Author's choice of title.

Any season.

I'm looking for a nuanced story in which Buffy is transgendered. S/he can be anywhere along the spectrum with regards to her change, but with being so young s/he most likely wouldn't have had sexual reassignment surgery. S/he may not even wish to take that step.

Male to Female: Perhaps Buffy is called while she is still male, which greatly confuses Merrick. There could be a lot worked in here about internal vs external gender identity. She could become Buffy during the first part of this fic and move to Sunnydale. Do her friends know her biological identity? Does Giles? Angel? Of course the end game would be that at some point Spike shows up and falls in love with the Slayer, and she with him...only Buffy's worried that Spike isn't going to still be interested once he knows Buffy's biological gender. Of course, we the reader know differently!

Female to Male: Buddy (or whatever much better name you pick!) was born female, but knows that's not what he is. Being called as the Slayer complicates matters since only girls are Slayers. Matters are complicated because either Buddy is either bisexual or gay. Again, Spike roles into town, and after being initially confused he's just fine with what he finds.

I don't mind some jokes or humor related to issues around transitioning, but if you have a very bigoted character it can't be one of the scoobies. Her/His friends are still that. They can ask questions, be confused, and not always be comfortable, but there's a world of difference between that and making fun of Buffy/Buddy.

Spike needs to be supportive. No having him freak out about what's in Buffy's/Buddy's pants. He'd probably know long before Buffy/Buddy said anything anyway. You can have Angel wig. Because he would.

Please no comics canon.

You can focus on one tight point of time, one season, or dip in and out of the whole arc of the show, but please don't skimp on the part where Buffy/Buddy and Spike are falling in love/getting together.

Please no extreme violence/torture/mutilation.

If your comfortable I'd like smut, because I think it'd really show how accepting Spike is. And Spike can reassure Buffy/Buddy that any changes they undergo (perhaps there's hormones involved?) are welcome and accepted, along with any changes in the future.

I can't write this fic because it's not a world I know, but I dearly hope that someone with more knowledge than me will tackle it someday in the future!

Thank you!



Summary: After killing Angel, Buffy finds the strength to come out as Ezra. He's been falling into a pattern in life, until a certain bleached blond vamp gets chipped...
 
In response to Sunalso's challenge!


Starting with season 4, we'll go through various time periods in Ezra's life - so there is a little bit of jumping, but each period has multiple chapters!
