The title is from the Herman's Hermits song, "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter." Written for the wk_100 "genderbending" challenge, and betaed by Rune.

Ouka's mother explained when he was old enough to understand; his father already had three legitimate sons, and would not claim a bastard. But he'd confessed his dream of a daughter, a little girl to spoil, and that was what Ouka's mother had given him.

Ouka didn't mind. He liked dresses, dancing lessons, doing his hair and the way his father smiled at him. He liked the way boys stared and girls hissed jealously. He liked making Omi blush.

He wanted to be a real girl. They had the money now, but his mother resisted.

She'd always wanted a boy.
