I am filling my own prompt on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
the_eagle_kink, though I won't be posting it there. The words are just pouring out; it feels so good to be writing again. But! As ever, I have Doubt. I worry that my always-a-girl!Esca is too much like an OC. I worry that I'm not telling a story that is both boy!Esca's and girl!Esca's. I worry that the differences between the two are too great. And also, I worry that the very triggery subject matter is going to cause hurt or offence.
The inner critic, she is a cruel mistress.
