Why this must be read:

This is such a wonderful depiction of Eddie as a woman; she maintains all of the Comedian's violence, brutality, and disregard for other people, while providing an insightful look at the way the Comedian's canon life would be distorted if he'd been born as a woman. This is such a fun fic, despite the fact that it can be downright uncomfortable at points; the writing is fresh and Edie is playful and mean and fabulous.

Edie has an idea where Schexnayder stands on the government “propaganda” department payroll.

What she isn’t quite sure of is where she stands as a sex icon. It’s certainly not this femme fatale getup they’ve got her in— she’s not sure how she’ll be able to crack a smile at this point, the fishnets as itchy as a fire ant-infested hell and her sweat pooling out of the black bodice thing. She’s holding two masks in her hand— Comedy and Tragedy, and supposed to be juggling them, clownish, standing on her tiptoes in these lace-up boots and tripping over herself. The Comedienne can’t (shouldn’t) give you wit, no slick-smart responses, but she can sure give you slapstick antics.
