Why this must be read: Erm...because it's deliciously hot? I'm a total softie for tales of genderfuckery, and they may as well be YnM canon given Watari's predilection for concocting sex-change formulae. Small Mercies sees Wakaba shopping with a doped-up Terazuma for some much-needed lingerie before Terazuma, who shares his body (unwillingly!) with a ferocious parasite shikigami who can't abide the touch of the opposite sex, discovers a practical use for Watari's potion. There's something of the hardboiled detective about Terazuma's narrative voice, which makes the story all the more cracktastic, but beneath the humour and the sexiness, the quiet tragedy of their thwarted relationship is never forgotten.

Terazuma has always known that she's more adventurous than he is. Kannuki hangs out with the Hokkaido twins regularly enough that they must have *something* in common. He doesn't like to wonder about what that might be.

He's not paying enough attention and almost misses Kannuki's brown hair ducking behind the next rack. He's used to walking slower around her, in case someone stops and they have to dodge, but he has forgotten that his strides aren't quite as long anymore. He speeds up just a little to catch up.

Somehow, Kannuki convinced him this was a good idea. Terazuma doesn't remember the details, just some vague hints about 'bouncing' and being 'visibly pointed'. He hates that this body blushes so much more easily.

Terazuma cusses Doc a blue streak, under his breath, in case Kannuki turns and glares at him again. With all the practice he's been getting in lately, he's getting real good at it.

Sure, Doc himself is weird. The sorts of things he wants to turn people into are more weird, but apart from ragging on Terazuma about Kannuki, they usually get along ok. (He doesn't know why Doc's girly hair doesn't set the cat off, but, you know, small mercies.)

All that changed after half a cup of coffee a week ago and Terazuma finding out that he had more up top than he wanted and a little too much space down below.

Terazuma had spat the kind of nails he reserved for that idiot, Tsuzuki, because Doc had been so *damn* pleased the-- whatever potion had worked that he was crowing instead of turning them all back.

Oh, yeah.

Doc turned half the office into women.
