is a Sword Art Online fic written by aj_linguistik and a spin-off of their one-shot Faceless, focusing on Kirito, now going by Kazue, opening up as a trans girl and adjusting to the changes that brings.
- Adaptational Gender Identity/Adaptational Sexuality: Kirito goes from a straight cis boy in canon to a trans lesbian in this fic.
- Fake Boobs: Early on in the fic, Kazue uses a variety of methods to give herself the appearance of breasts, from stuffing newspaper into one of Suguha's bras (which Suguha walks into) to wearing bras with breast pads in them. This changes once Kazue's hormone therapy starts growing her breasts.
- Good Parents: Kazue's aunt and uncle quickly accept her being trans and allow her to start hormone therapy.
- Meaningful Rename: Kirito goes from Kazuto to Kaz to Kazue.
- Shopping Montage: Chapter 2 focuses on Asuna and Suguha buying new clothes for Kazue.
- Talking to the Dead: Kazue and her aunt visit the graves of Kazue's parents and tell her about her new identity.
- Trans Relationship Troubles: Averted; despite coming out, Asuna is still in love with Kazue and wanting to be in a relationship with her.
- Trans Tribulations: A lot of the fic focuses on Kazue dealing with her gender dysphoria and worrying about how her family, friends, and strangers will view her.
