cw: uh none that I can think of ._." but there is a gender-unspecified Reader wc: 1,011
You were hanging out in your shared dorm room, just scrolling on your phone while Jax was doing.. something witchcraft-related on his side of the room. As far as you could tell, anything he did was some "bubble bubble, toil and trouble" mumbo jumbo. Whatever he was doing seemed to go awry, judging by his reaction as a mass of smoke starts to pour out of the cauldron.
"Shit- That's not right."
Before you could start to worry about what might be happening, the smoke flooded the room, stinging your lungs (albeit not as much as non-magical smoke does). Coughing, you try and fan at your face to no avail.. which only takes maybe a minute to dissipate, the only trace it left being the empty cauldron and the soot clinging to the room.
Across the room, Jax was also coughing, although his voice sounded.. higher? "Fuck! What the hell kinda ritual did I do?"
Looking at Jax, you can immediately see that whatever spell was done seemed to turn him into a woman. The rabbit looks over at you, expression falling a bit as he looks at you.
"Ohh shit.. uh- you doing good there, roomie?"
You blink, slightly worried now as you look down at yourself.. finding yourself also changed completely, your body having done a full swap just like Jax's did. I was wondering why I felt a little off…
"Oh. Well that's- this is.. definitely new." You look back over at them. "Are you doing alright? Because you also…"
Jax suddenly looks down at himself, ears straightening out in shock. "Oh fuck! Uh- Alright, okay.. I can undo this…" He frantically looks back through the book he had, flipping past the worn pages. "What the fuck did I even cast?"
You get up off your bed, your body feeling relatively normal all things considered. "Uh, what were you trying to cast?"
"Well I was trying to get a transmutation ready for July 4th, pull a Jesus and turn water into booze.. get wasted for cheap y'know?"
He continues flipping back between pages, gloved hand raising to massage at his temple. "For fuck sake.. the page is fucked! C'mere roomie."
You walk over and Jax shows you the relevant pages while ranting. "Here, is where that 'transmute liquid' spell is, ya get the description and a whole page of backstory like any kinda recipe book. But here- look here."
He points to the actual recipe of the ritual.. and not-so-notably, in suspiciously finer print than the rest of the page is the spell name: Reveal True Self. "True Self"? Taking a closer look, you read what the spell's effect is supposed to be.. change the form into one's ideal self. You look back over to Jax, their face a bit unreadable.
"I- I guess I messed it up or somethin' and turned it into a gender-switch spell.. 'cause this one is apparently the base for all polymorphs. So, I just gotta redo this spell correctly and we'll go right-on back to normal!"
Well.. this doesn't really feel all that bad, but… "Do you.. want some help?"
They look up at you, expression mostly normal but their eyes seem somewhat frantic. "S-Sure, just.. just pass me what I tell you to. Most of this stuff is really precise."
With a slight nod, you start helping Jax with the ingredients, passing them back and forth from a makeshift-looking ingredient shelf. Despite yourself, you can't help the thought that escapes you.
"Y-You look really pretty like this."
They pause, face reddening slightly before they shake their head and keep working. "Yeah well don't get used to it.. once I get this done I'll be back to normal, along with you."
After a bit, the cauldron is a swirling mix of colors, and Jax seems to have a lot on their mind. "Alright.. just gotta get this incantation to make it work… Says right here.. needs a precise recitation and a bell."
Without hesitation they grab a small hand bell from nearby, starting to recite the spell.. not without a few fumbles and retries, ringing the bell once every few words. After going through the whole incantation, the fire under the cauldron flares up and the concoction boils off into smoke.
"Th-There it is.. just breathe in the smoke, and we'll be right back to normal."
The two of you stand right next to the cauldron as the smoke pours out.. and as you breathe it in, you can't help but notice that it looks and feels identical to the first time… So you weren't really surprised when the smoke cleared and nothing changed. Jax, on the other hand.. seemed more frantic.
"No, no, no.. I did it right!" She picks the book back up, reading and re-reading the spell. "Inhale the smoke, and.. change the form.. into one's ideal self…"
You tentatively step closer. "I- I meant what I said."
Jax looks up at you, looking slightly less frantic.. but more lost and confused. "Wha..?"
"Earlier.. I didn't mean to say it out loud, but I do mean it. You do look really pretty like this."
She blinks, seemingly processing your words before setting the book down and slumping back. "I.. I just never really… I dunno, I never really gave it much thought.. didn't really feel that good to think about." Looking back over to you, she chuckles softly. "Guessing you're feelin' pretty comfortable in that new body too?"
You just nod, part of you still getting used to the feeling of said new body. It doesn't take too long for Jax's typical confidence to slowly creep back in. "I guess I am pretty smokin' like this, huh? If I ain't careful I'll set off the smoke alarms~"
Chuckling at the dumb joke, you speak up again. "Yeah, you'll definitely knock 'em dead, girl. I just got this feeling you'll absolutely slay."
Jax's expression suddenly shifts and she places her face into her hands. "Fuuuuuuck we're gonna have to do so much paperwork for this…"
Shit, it's your archenemy.. bureaucracy.
so first and foremost, the video that sparked the idea: Witch Accidentally Transforms You (And Herself) [F4TF] [TF4TF] by: Flawless Fae Audio over on YouTube
secondly despite still being in the process of questioning my own genda I do not have experience with being trans and as such I am so sorry if this comes out. Not Great. as a result!
thirdly I hope the descriptors for Reader being trans'd is vague enough that any of y'all trans kings, queens, and nonbinary lieges can slot yourself in relatively easily
