Hormone Regimen After Trans Boy Is Turned Into A Werewolf

[nyxelestia]

This setting is in modern day California. I've been researching FtM transitions like crazy, but I can't seem to find any explanation of how hormones interact with metabolism to come up with some answers

I'm no expert on chemistry/biology, but from the research I've done on transitions and testosterone's effects (and withdrawal effects) - I'd be most inclined with what carlyinrome said. That lycanthropy might actually increase the levels of testosterone or provide simmilar effect, so the character would need less of it for the transition

It's a Teen Wolf fanfic, if that's the canon you're thinking of. I'll definitely send you a link when I start posting, if you want

[andrea_deer]

Oh, I would love the link, when you're done :D I've never considered trans!Scott, well, not in detail, but I think it's a brilliant idea

Sure thing, though I do warn you, this is probably going to end up as Sciles fic. There are a lot of parallels about how, at the end of the day, this really isn't the first time the boys have had to get Scott used to a new body. This also isn't the first time Stiles has figured out what Scott was before Scott did. :P (When they were little, Scott felt "wrong" until he described himself to Stiles, and Stiles was the one who figured things out for him

yeah, I think Melissa would learn about werewolves way sooner in this AU. I mean, not only already she has some medical knwoledge on the subject, she sure would read up on all the details/possibilities/effects/etc. to better support Scott. She would also pay even more attention to his health, because of the transition, so she would quickly pick up on things that don't add up

Derek means well - and he does later help Scott through some existential angst once things calm down a bit. (The T does have an affect on Scott's scent, which he angsts about, until Derek points out half the people they know smell of medication or hormone treatment anyway. Scott's scent reflecting his T is no different than Stiles' scent reflecting his Adderall or the girls' scents reflecting their birth control

My fiancee is WAY into Teen Wolf fandom, and loves trans fics. She has a lot of thoughts on the subject, so I'll see if I can get her in here to offer her perspective, because while Scott isn't her fav (she's a Sterek girl), I'm pretty sure she'd be down with talking TW trans meta, provided anxiety doesn't interfere. :)

I've picked up a lot by osmosis from her and elsewhere (I swear, I've never watched the show, but I know most of the character arcs and plot), but I don't have enough knowledge to say whether your premise would be workable. It definitely sounds interesting, and YAY more trans fic!
