Title: Changes
Disclaimer: Viewfinder and its characters belong to Yamano Ayane. I'm just, er, borrowing it.
Pairing: Asami × Takaba, past Fei Long × Takaba, hints of other pairs
Rating: PG-13 for now
Summary: Genderbent AU, where Takaba is a woman. After 'staying a while' with Asami, Takaba finds herself pregnant, and not quite sure who the father is.
Warnings: Hints of reproductive coercion in later parts. Also, canon-level warnings on violence, sexual situations, dubcon/noncon, consent issues, and seriously fucked up relationships.
Author's notes: Born from unholy musings in the middle of the night. Enabled by friends. I just had to write this to get it out of my head. Kill me now. Consider this crack. Or something.

Takaba doesn't remember what exactly tipped her off, that something within her had changed.
Maybe it was the odd tenderness of her breasts, their sudden sensitivity to touch, the faint darkening of her nipples and areola. Or it could be the back pain (that had nothing to do with, er, other activities), the occasional sudden dizziness or nausea, the inexplicable fatigue and sleepiness she felt at times.
But maybe, it could mostly be the delay of her monthly period. Which didn't seem all that unusual in the first place, really. Her menstrual cycle was sometimes irregular, thanks to various stressful events in her life (read: sleepless nights during stake-outs, poor nutrition, pressure at work, ASAMI), her own whacked out, stubborn hormones, and the birth control pills she was taking, so a delay of a month or two doesn't really bother her or raise alarm bells in her head.
A delay of nearly three months, however, was, well. That. That was something else.
Oh yeah, alarm bells were definitely ringing in her head.
"Shit," she says, very quietly, as she stands in front of the mirror in Asami's (their) bathroom, still wet and naked from her recent shower, dumbstruck with this sudden realization. She is faintly aware that on the other side of the door was Asami, who was still quietly sleeping on his (their) bed (because he is not a morning person and likes to sleep well until late morning and because he spent a good chunk of last night and very early this morning fucking her into the mattress), unaware of her epiphany, and of the possible, sudden, and enormous change in her (their) lives. A shiver ran through her whole body.
It's going to be a long, long day.
...figures after years of not writing ANYTHING, I go write het for a yaoi series. Oh my brain.
