Fics like juice of mandarins

“Martin.” Jon stops. “You’re…trans, right?” Martin stiffens, all the blessed peace that the past few minutes have given him evaporating as his brain shoots off in two separate directions. First is—well, terror, obviously. You take a naturally anxious person and they end up trans, not exactly a recipe for a lot of restful nights, thanks. Jon’s never given any indication that he might be transphobic, never calling Martin by the wrong name even though he hadn’t been able to legally get it changed until six months after he started working at the Archives, and he didn’t so much as blink when he saw Sasha pass a tampon to Martin one time. But still. Martin and fear are old, old friends. The second direction is just mild incredulity at the tentativeness of the question. No, Jon, I’ve had a transgender pride flag on my desk for the past two years just because I liked the colours. Martin gets a call from Jon. Nothing about what follows goes anything like the way he expected.
