A/N: Completed Work! The reader in this story is gender neutral (They/Them), and there is no use of binary, gendered language—such as “woman,” “man,” “Miss,” “Mister,” “female,” or “male”— in reference to them. However, the reader has breasts and a vagina because that is what I—as a nonbinary, AFAB author—am most comfortable writing. The reader regularly switches between wearing period-accurate, assumed-feminine clothing and period-accurate, assumed-masculine clothing. I apologize for any historical inaccuracies. If you catch a typo or would like to be added to the taglist, let me know. Lastly, a huge shoutout to @bruhlsbees for reading as I wrote. Your love and support kept me going.
