Chapter Five of Theo – a transmasc reimagining of Little Women – is up on Patre♡n! Wherein a hidden truth is revealed.

“You’re not a girl,” said Leslie.

Theo stared at him.

Leslie realized his feverish rambling required further explanation. “Not really. I mean, they dress you up like one, and call you one, and expect you to act like one… but you’re not.”

Theo continued staring.

Leslie elaborated on his point. “So I don’t think you’re a girl at all. I think you’re rather a man.”

Theo said nothing.

“Like me,” Leslie said, with a little gesture of his hand towards his chest, as if Theo needed a reminder of what a man was. “Or, not exactly like me, but as much like me or any other man as a man like you can be.”

Theo blinked at him, slowly, like a cat, and it occurred to Leslie for the first time that he might not be making as much sense as he’d hoped.

But just as Leslie opened his cracked lips to try again, Theo spoke.

“Took you long enough to notice,” he said.
