Me who makes the monsters by therealw (R)

Fandom: THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Pairing: Mark/Eduardo
Length: 3,200 words and an even better sequel at about 4,000 words

Why this must be read: Girl!Mark. One thing about the Social Network... it's a movie about boys. Stupid boys being stupid while also being geniuses. It's fun! But seriously lacking in good female characters. Making one of them female adds an interesting dimension and this is so well done. The sequel, in particular, is a brilliant post-deposition fic; she's definitely Mark.

The first, though, is at Harvard and everyone thinks Mark is a lesbian. Eduardo wishes that were not so...

"What's the point of being best friends with a lesbian if she never hooks up with anyone?"

"I didn't become Mark's friend in the hopes of her letting me watch while she makes out with other girls, Dustin."
