BLURB
Stefan has ... fantasies.
He knows chasing those fantasies is only going to end in disaster, but he can't seem to stop his self-destructive spiral. He’s a transgender man struggling to come to terms with the intersection of his identity and his sexual fantasies as a submissive. He needs someone to take control before he loses it completely.
Daz can take control. He can teach Stefan everything there is to know about sex and submission, but for some reason, he can't get inside Stefan's head. Daz can stop Stefan’s self-destruction but not the fear that fuels it.
Stefan needs to know who he is before he can accept what he is. And it's Yannis -- Daz's aromantic, asexual, stern, and sarcastic partner -- who has the answer.
EXCERPT
“My hormones are perfectly normal, yes I know that to be a fact, no my asexuality is not caused by hormone imbalances.”
It was bitter, the flat drone almost sarcastic.
Stefan blinked. “Do— do people ask that a lot?”
“Many believe that’s the cause of asexuality.”
And yet it was familiar. Stefan had heard that before, too, but for his gender. He must have low oestrogen levels because if they were normal, he’d not feel like a man at all. It must be a side-effect of something easily fixable. It must be not be gender at all, but some other medical issue. It must not be real.
Did Yannis get that, too?
“What is the cause?” he asked.
“Same as whatever causes people to be gay or trans, I’d imagine.”
“So you were always…”
“Yes.”
“Do you not usually have sex then?”
“Very rarely. I let Darian occasionally. I find sex interesting, from an academic standpoint, but it’s nothing I’m especially interested in actually doing. I’d rather be doing music than masturbation.”
Stefan stared at the slowly dying flames, and swallowed.
“I— when you play the bass, I feel it. The pitch is erotic.”
“Never heard that one before.”
Stefan shrugged, folding his arms across his chest.
“If the cello did that to me, I’d be screwed,” he mumbled.
“The cello?”
“Yeah. I play the cello.”
The sombre expression on Yannis’ face lifted. He grinned, a wide and almost manic expression that suddenly looked a lot like Daz.
“Where is it?”
“At my flat.”
“Then let’s get it.”
“Wait, what?”
“Let’s get it. I’ve a whole trunk of sheet music we can work with. Come on. Let’s go. Now!”
