Gen, Raven - It's Different When

While Raven's powers are totally awesome, I do think there's just as big a creep factor as Charles' mutation. We've all enjoyed fics where she turns into someone else and has sex in that person's body, but IRL, that is a big personal violation. I would genuinely feel very creeped out and violated if I found out that a shapeshifter turned into me and had sex with someone else or even just walked around wearing my body, nothing sexual involved. Like, that's not technically my body, but it also really IS my body, and she's making it do things I had no idea about or would never do on my own.
So, what I want: Mansion!fic where one of the others makes Raven promise never to turn into them, because they find the idea really skeezy and can't trust what Raven would or wouldn't do. Raven is hurt and angry and not inclined to oblige, but something they say reminds her about the time she made Charles promise not to read her mind.

Raven is testing out forms in the parlor, watching TV, when Alex walks in. He paused for a moment, Raven had shown off her ability before but she always seemed a bit unsure of it, and if nothing else prison gave him good experience for judging when it would be best leave something the hell alone

Oh my god this is perfect <3
I have had this thought for a while now, and yeah, the idea of a perfect doppelganger is just so creepy. Shapeshifting isn't as obviously violating as telepathy, but if misused it could be just as bad; the idea of your face and identity being stolen to manipulate is horrifying.

Off topic but are you taking the new GRE test? Good luck! I hear it's supposed to be more relevant to the real world than the old version.

I love it so far, especially your choice in Alex as being the one uncomfortable with the shapeshifting.
Good luck on the GREs, btw, I hated taking them.
