Folding Over is a story written by Shiawasena Ryokō-sha. It ran in Issue 89 at https://www.shousetsubangbang.com/mirror/folding-over/.
It is presented as a series of letters between two nonbinary characters: Dane, who is on a field research expedition, and the Sage of Whitetower, a mage associated with a specific small town. Most setting details are left intentionally unclarified. There is reference to background characters having experienced neurological trauma.
The author has alluded to at least one follow-up illustration associated with this piece, but it is not yet available.
Bonus details:
- Sage and Dane respectively answer the question "Are you a man or a woman?" with "Yes!" and "no." (Neither of them has a canonical birth assignation. If you find it gender-affirmative to see them aligned with your own, go nuts; it's just not canon!)
- Dane uses they/them; Sage accepts most pronouns, as long as they're used in good faith.
- While the method used to achieve it is wholly fictional, the sex-affirmation results the characters have are based around real discussions I've seen in nonbinary communities about the options they wish were available to them.
- This setting also has 'ordinary' ghosts, they're just not as dangerous. Mourning-ghosts are the ghostly victims of the catastrophic magical event this culture sets its year 0 by.
