When Flynn meets Tanya at a table-top RPG campaign, his first impression is that she's the kind of girl he'd like to get to know. He does just that; however, not only does he discover they make a great pair, but he also learns she isn't really Tanya.<br><br>She's Tony, a pre-treatment transgender man.<br><br>Despite being a tried-and-true heterosexual, Flynn chooses to stick with Tony anyway and supports him during transition. Their initial one night stand turns into a wild and dedicated relationship. They -- and their RPG characters -- face many challenges. Flynn and Tony seem made for each other, the sex is more than incredible, and Flynn is willing to brave it out, but a Willpower check isn't enough to rid him of his crippling doubts. Will the love they share be enough to overcome the antagonism they face in the real world?

Change for the Better

“Yeah, well, Tony isn’t a bad name either,” she had said. “There are plenty of cool Tonys out there. Tony Stark, Tony Dinozzo, Tony the Tiger, half the guys in the mafia…”

“Exactly! Besides, this way I can keep my old initials and when people fumble over my names it’ll be easier for them to get it right than if I was changing it to, I dunno, Bill or something.” Flynn agreed, and he couldn’t have done much else if he wanted to since this was her choice to make. “I’m also not insisting that people call me ‘Tony’ or use masculine pronouns yet,” she went on. “Not while I still look like a girl, anyway. And that’s all wrapped up in stuff. Even with my short hair, I still look pretty feminine, and if I wore a binder and packer, everyone would probably think I was flat-chested with something in my pocket. Nah, I’m waiting until my facial hair comes in to start altering my appearance like that. It’s kind of a package deal, y’know?”
