A nurse steals a vial of blood carrying a gender transformation virus and injects himself with it, because it's the one thing he's wanted his whole life.
Marcus has kept the fantasy to himself for thirty years, except for the girlfriend who likes to play it out with him in bed. Then the clinic where he works starts treats a man with the Expression virus, and he's the one drawing blood. One tube goes missing. He injects it alone in a supply closet after hours and goes home to wait.
Four days of nothing. Five days of fever and aching joints. And the morning it breaks, he reaches down under the sheets and finds exactly what he's been imagining since he was a kid.
The rest arrives over weeks. Hips that throw off his walk. A chest that make his scrubs pull in new places. Hands shrinking out of his glove size, feet dropping out of his shoes, a voice that cracks upward when he isn't careful. A body he can't hide at work, from his girlfriend, from the five guys he's played poker with every week for nine years.
He wanted every bit of it. He didn't plan for any of what comes with it.
Informed Consent is an explicit, willing transformation novel about a man who turns himself into a woman on purpose, and finds out that getting exactly what you wanted doesn't mean keeping everything else the same.
