Crossdreams: Fantasy Transformation Fiction — Stories of Magic, Identity and Change

1. Everyone expects you to be flawless. If nobody can find out you've swapped bodies, looking like her isn't enough... You have to be her. You learn to walk in heels without looking like a newborn deer, practice your posture in front of the mirror, realize that even crossing your legs takes practice, and discover that one awkward smile can make people think something's wrong. Nobody warns you that acting is the hardest part. 2. Women's clothes definitely don't come with an instruction manual. Hidden clasps. Back buttons. Tiny buckles. Adjustable straps. Nearly invisible zippers. You spend fifteen minutes trying to figure out how to put on a single outfit... ...only to realize it was supposed to fasten from the front.
