Author's Summary:
From Angua’s office, with the door cracked, being a captain wasn’t all that different from being a sergeant.

Review:
I really liked this fic a lot. It's tagged “feminism is hard” and that really sums up the story's excellent look at identity and category and representation but don't assume it means this won't be a delightfully complex the story - because it is. It's short, but manages to be both a character and a world piece (in a fandom that does very interesting things with gender). It focuses on Angua and Sacharissa with a bit from Cheery and Carrot too, and the interactions between Angua and Sacharissa are so lovely, I wish they'd actually meet in canon like this. Also, there's some light humor, just in case you'd forgotten this was Discworld.
