Cabin Pressure Fic: I Am What I Am

A few days ago I posted these pictures of Roger Allam and Benedict Cumberbatch in drag and asked if anyone wanted fic based on them. Since people didn’t seem to hate the idea, I got planning and what started as crack turned into angst, so sorry about that.

Title: I Am What I Am (Chapter 1/?)

Genre: Angst for now (will be h/c)

Characters: At the moment, child Douglas, but Martin will appear later (as will a host of OCs)

Pairing: None in this chapter though later there will be Douglas / OC and Douglas / Wives

Trigger Warnings: This story will deal a lot with gender identity and I apologise if I mess anything up. I’ve tried to be as sensitive as I can but let me know if I make a glaring error.

Summary: Standing on a footstool to see himself fully in the bathroom mirror, Douglas had experienced his first taste of freedom.

A/N: I’m posting this at 3:35am, so if there are any mistakes I apologise. I’ll have an edit when I’m more awake. Let me know what you think and whether I should bother continuing.
