Book I: to cross oceans for [BxB] (trans) - completed by transFigure_

"What if I'm not one?" I asked, my body wound tight with tension. "One what?" he asked, his voice soft and low. I hesitated. Was I ready? I wanted to tell him so badly. Wanted to scream it from the fucking rooftops. But there would be no going back if I allowed the words to spill out into the world. Telling myself I didn't need someone else's validation, that I knew myself well enough to know with absolute certainty that I was trans was all good and well in principle. But lying here underneath my bed, with my best friend's body pressed so close to mine I could feel his warm breath on my face, I felt those convictions slip through my fingers. Danny's rejection would break me. In a fundamental way. "One what?" he repeated the question, scooting so close to me the tip of his nose brushed mine. Dust motes danced around us, suspended in mid air, teetering on the brink of this momentous feeling wrapping itself around us. I squeezed my eyes shut, pushing down the rush of anxiety trying to drown me. His nose bumped mine again and his breath ghosted over my lips. I opened my eyes and stared unblinkingly into his. 'A girl', I wanted to say, even though I knew the words would taste sour in my mouth, 'what if I'm not a girl?' -------------------------------------- Sean and Danny have been next door neighbours and best friends since they were six years old.

Dreaming of Cheers (Standing Up to Life Book 3) by TiffanyShar

At first glance of the girls practicing their dance moves, you would see nothing to set them apart from each other. Yes there are different hair styles, different builds and heights, but all an onlooker would notice was a dance squad working hard to perfect their routine. Tiffany Jacobson was all smiles within the group. She was happy, she was the person she'd dreamed she could be, and no one could tell her otherwise. That hadn't always been the case though, just a year ago she was one of the most picked on kids in school. A whirlwind of changes had happened in the last year, and she'd worked hard to be an outstanding young lady participating in the dance squad and band. The road has not been easy for her. Just a few weeks ago she addressed the school board to fight for her right to try out for the school's elite new dance squad. Since then thing have calmed down, but will things continue to move smoothly? How will she deal with the changes that adolescence will bring to her in the next year? (Transgender Fiction)

The Other Dress (✔ Complete) {boy x trans girl} by EmmyEngberts

We both love wearing dresses, the prettier the better. We also both love cosplaying and have a flair for magical-girl style characters. But that is where our similarities end. Izzy has always loved dresses, one of her favourite memories is when her parents got her a sewing machine for her ninth birthday, a real one. She's been making and designing her own dresses ever since. She gets most of her inspiration from two sources, videogames and anime. Her favourite thing to do is to make the frilliest dress in an anime. There is something liberating about stepping into the skin of a magical girl, changing into someone else can be the safest way to explore who you really are. Izzy's current obsession is the newly released 'Magical Princess Club' and especially the character Sakura. So, when she finds someone at a convention who is cosplaying Aoi, Sakura's best friend in the anime, she can't help but want to get to know them better. Because something in the way they portray Aoi gives her butterflies in her stomach. Even though she knows that more than just being friends will probably never happen... Elliot's first time crossplaying Aoi at a convention is a little more overwhelming than he thought it would be. He keeps getting compliments, but some of the stares make him a little uncomfortable. He's made cosplays before, but always male characters, he never really dared to do what he really wanted, cosplaying a magical girl. But after watching Aoi on the screen, he knew that he had to try. He had to take that step. Aoi had to be his first crossplay. When Elliot's eyes fall on a beautiful girl cosplaying Sakura, he has to talk to her, and one chat becomes two and three, and suddenly they're getting photographed together everywhere and it's the most fun he's ever had. But why would a pretty girl like her ever want more from him? Can he bring up the courage to ever ask her out, especially since she knows what he likes to do?

Bears Know Best by TiffanyShar

Thirteen year-old Taylor Landt's step-mother believes that he should be the next great football player for the high school he'll be attending in the fall. Having a dad who is an accomplished professional linebacker, and growing up surrounded by professional football coaches and players should all but guarantee his ability to dominate on the field. Unfortunately he hates playing football, and knows his height and build will never allow him to be successful at the sport. Faced with a step-mother who ignores his obvious talents in other areas, and thinks he is a blight on his father's reputation, Taylor does the unthinkable and moves to Ohio to live with his mother who abandoned him with his father eight years ago. Taylor discovers there's more to his inability to follow in his fathers' footsteps than just his height. Will it be possible for him to make friends in a new town in the middle of nowhere? Will Taylor be able to finally make peace with his mother who abandoned them all those years ago?

A Different Kind of Love by artsykid04

Max was very different -- but in a unique way. That much Justin could figure out. He just couldn't figure out what was different about her. There was something about her that drew him closer and he just had to figure that out. But what happened when he found out? Did he discover he was way in over his head? Max tried to stay to himself for the most part. He hated the idea of someone calling him a girl to his face. Just the mere thought sent him in a spiral -- he wanted to take the thing out of his pocket to make him focus on something else. But he didn't. Often. Especially since he noticed the kind-eyed kid in the front of his class noticing him more and more. He didn't know what the boy wanted -- he didn't think it could be good. But what happened when he decided to trust him? Would he regret it? *Rated mature because of the topic -- there will also be self-harm and cussing and other things like that. Read at your own risk. *Story has been edited
