About the Story
Of course he has a blue beard and pronouns. A purely kinetic (i.e., no choices), 500-word trans Bluebeard story with a happy ending. Thanks to manonamora for the conversation that inspired the idea, and to Autumn Chen for making the joke that inspired the tagline! Further inspiration came from reading up on the Bluebeard story and finding no explanation as to why the guy's beard is blue OR why that was considered so ugly.

Write a review What if..., June 25, 2024 Bluebeard’s Not-Wives is a kinetic retelling of the Bluebeard story, in which you play one of the wives of Bluebeard ahead of the marriage. Except, the prose breaks the original mould about Bluebeard and his wife. Bluebeard is not some tyrannical blood-thirsty husband, but a misunderstood soul dealing with prejudice. And though the wives are never to be seen, you are not fearful of this terminal fate, for living as society demands of you actually feels like death.
The entry does a wonderful job at building the story, bringing the pieces together in such a lovely way, leading to a very touching end. It was very sweet, and though I would read a whole book of this, perfect the way it just is.
