An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

this was meant to be a little sketch but i got carried away (*/ω＼*)

i am only half of the way through the story but i love them so much, i'm sure nothing bad worse will happen to them!! /j

I gave Michael my gender dysphoria and all i got was this stupid t-shirt

guys I’m back in the fucking building again...i am microwaving Michael...you could say he’s being michaelwaved.

I think my hiatus is over now but honestly who knows, just know that I’m back and I have many unsettling things to say.

Also this fic isn’t actually about dysphoria in that sense but it’s about the body horror of living in a body that doesn’t match the one you want to be in, so you do the maths.

Description below!

Summary:

"There was a rotten, mushy thing living inside the body that had once belonged to Michael Shelley, fermenting in its own disgust like the unwanted core of an apple. It did not fit within that painfully ordinary skin, nor did it want to."

The Distortion reflects on the horror of being given a human body. It also occasionally kisses its body's former occupant's boyfriend. Things are complicated, like that.
