Summary

This can be read as a standalone, but it's backstory to "No Dictionary Sufficient in This Land of Men," and there will be future stories in that verse. Told from Harry's POV, I wanted to write this to humanize an abusive character somewhat and to round her out. In "Dictionary," I imagine the line about Clara questioning Harry's orientation came off as improbable or jarring to some readers, and so I wanted to flesh out where that comes from--not from simple data on twins, it turns out, but from the way Harry followed Amanda throughout their early lives and the impact that might have had on Harry's development. This is also picking up from part of the original kinkmeme prompt, which asked for Harry being disappointed by John's transition because he broke the mirror image.
