Rectember: Works in tiny fandoms (The Reckoners, Now We Are Six)

[frausorge]

Two fics in tiny fandoms about finding your identity:

Chronology by grainjew
The Reckoners - Brandon Sanderson, gen, Megan Tarash, fic

I desperately wanted trans Megan after reading this series, and this short fic delivers. The dramatic swings in her life are presented very deftly, and the confidence she reaches is really satisfying.

In Which Mrs. Jane Dupree Has An Adventure (The Finding Herself Remix) by Beatrice_Otter
Now We Are Six - A. A. Milne, m/f, Mrs. Dupree, fic

This is both a delightfully meta romp through several of the poems and a really sharp critique of the gender roles and other societal restrictions in them. I love the process by which Mrs. Dupree recovers different pieces of her name and starts setting boundaries.
