They are super fun together, this is true. (There's one Waya/Shindou fic on AO3 that I love a bunch, I would definitely read more.) I'm glad you liked the fill! ♥
I've been thinking about bodyswap as a trope since I wrote it, actually. Because obviously I ducked out of it and wrote dramatic-irony POV-shenanigans instead, really just because the suite of tropes that let you explore a POV disconnect (telepathy, amnesia, sensory deprivation, etc), are the ones I've always been more drawn to, whereas bodyswap has never really appealed. But then I was trying to work out why, and what the probably appeal of bodyswap is, and it seems like two of the things it offers must be two-way nonconsensual intimacy and an external POV on self. Both of which are super appealing to me as tropes. So now I feel like I have to reassess the whole trope, and maybe consider writing it for real sometime.
