just wanted to bump one of my favorite works centered around wylan exploring gender identity!!! read it here!!!

here’s a little snippet <3

~~

A memory flits through Wylan’s memory. A warm vendor, holding the tent open for him, a question on their tongue. I would hate for you to lose them. And something loosens in his chest.

Wylan smiles to himself, slipping back into him and Jesper’s bed, tugging his boyfriend against his chest and pressing a kiss to his bare shoulder. Jesper hums and rolls over to face him.

“Morning love,” he murmurs, voice rough from sleep.

“Hi,” Wylan says with a soft smile, brushing a curl from Jesper’s forehead.

“You feeling okay?” Jesper asks. It's become a routine, the first phrase from Jesper’s lips, Wylan always nodding a tight yes before forcing himself up, away. But he hasn’t been okay, not really.

Now, warm from sleep and love and another thing Wylan can’t place, he cups Jesper’s face and kisses him for what feels like the first time in weeks, and maybe it is.

“Yeah, I really am, Jes.”

Jesper “guard against pain” vs Wylan “guard against joy”

Jesper’s jokester and confident façade was to protect himself from feeling pain, but inside he’s insecure and vulnerable. He hid his grisha nature because the only person who ever treasured it was taken away from him, and grew up being told that it was a curse. So instead he acts like he doesn’t need it. He acts like he takes all the losses and all the hurtful things in good stride but deep inside he’s feeling lost and guilty all the time. That boy is always bouncing on his feet with guilt all the time in the duology. Guilt for disappointing everyone: his father, Kaz, Inej, his mother, and himself. When he thought about Wylan at the end of SOC he thought Wylan wouldn’t want to hang out with criminals like him anymore once he got the money and that had stung more than he thought: it’s the boy inside him feeling abandoned again, the boy that does no good to anyone other than in a fight. And he cope with all that pain, that guilt, with his addiction and his gunslinging - which no one really paid any mind until Wylan saw through his façade.

Wylan, whose joy and hope was taken away from him by his father, was always made to feel less than, shared the same constant feeling of guilt for just being who he is. His father made sure of it, that he knows he’s not allowed to feel anything but anxious and guilt, and his joy was to be choked out of him (metaphorically and literally). Wylan in the show couldn’t even believe when Jesper told him he was smart, thinking it was just a trick to coddle him into some false sense of joy before it would be taken away again. Wylan in the books still holding on to the last shred of decency for his father until that moment at Saint Hilde, instead blaming himself for it, maybe because it would give him a false sense of control over his own pain. Until Jesper saw his own guilt mirrored in Wylan, and helped him to his feet.

Both Jesper and Wylan were able to keep some part of goodness in the face of everything that happened in their lives: Jesper with his good spirits, Wylan with his morals - standing up against Kaz again and again despite being threatened every time. In Jesper, Wylan learned to accept joy again, and that this won’t be taken away from him. And in Wylan, Jesper knew that he has a safe space where he can accept his pain and heal from it in a healthy way.

“You can love something despite seeing all of its flaws.”

Anyway, Wesper is each other’s safe haven.
