Short and sweet :rofl: I was wondering what was going to happen to the cup, part of a well balanced breakfast!

loved this story, if only I would say

Apologies for the delayed responses! Only just realized I can comment without instantly revealing who I am lol To @[Cutlerfan](/user/show/14171), @[SwimJock](/user/show/39947), and @[BlindSeer0](/user/show/381024) Thank you, thank you, thank you for the kind words. To @[Kellan](/user/show/920897) Given the challenge rules, my answer is: probably not. I think this story has enough worldbuilding to feel like a fully fleshed standalone, and I'm also just very pleased with my current ending, honestly. It hit the exact emotional beats and pathos I needed to make the happy ending feel deserved - at least it did for me, because I got a little misty eyed while writing it. My goal was to wrap everything up in a way that makes you feel warm and gooey while still leaving you with an urge to read more. I'm interested to hear if I've managed. To @[BobbyBlobfish](/user/show/700733) Thank you! I do wonder what you'll think of my other work. This story uses a lot of the themes I love, but the romantic/fluffy tone is an outlier. I will warn you that the rest of my work features more manipulation, corruption, identity death, and other similarly unsettling or sometimes offensive ideas; I think that's still vague enough to keep anyone from figuring out who I am before the competition ends. To @[Mnem](/user/show/941744) Yes! Exactly what I was going for. I'm especially glad that the ethics ended up working for you here because there were definitely points I hemmed and hawwed about for fear of coming across as too preachy. Very happy too that you found the romantic aspect refreshing for the lack of manipulation... because manipulation's the most common thing I write. Very chuffed knowing I actually have range when I want to. To @[Bigger](/user/show/230293) Really happy someone else found the way I explored the practical aspects of enacting reality modifications interesting. I once had a dream of being a researcher - although said dream died a quick death when I actually did some work experience in a lab - and I had a lot of fun drawing on some of the wackier concepts of scientific theory I don't usually get to incorporate in my kinkier works. To address your question about the machine, I'll give you some insight into my intentions during the writing process. I really wanted to use this story to explore some ideas I often grapple with myself:       1.   Letting insecurity manipulate you into changing yourself to become something more "attractive" or palatable to others;       2.   Being unwilling to admit your own feelings to someone you love for fear being rejected or ruining a close friendship;       3.   Struggling with developing an attraction to someone very far removed from body types you find attractive, because of who they are; You raise an interesting question about Blake's massive crush being a constant fixture. Personally, I think the device had nothing to do with it and it's completely organic. But... death of the author! Your reading is allowed to be completely different from mine. ^{that said... blake progressively uses more and more metaphors/adjectives when describing the first time he saw andrew's smile to show how he just keeps getting sappier with each change i just love ridiculous pining and rarely get the chance to write it in my stories on here it also foreshadows blake being super mega horny for huge hypermasc andrew by the end hehe} To @[Gorbant](/user/show/927166) Thank you c: To @Anonymous I couldn't resist. [Outside In](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO61D9x6lNY) and [Imagining the Tenth Dimension (annotated)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjsgoXvnStY) live rent free in my brain. As do all of the other bits of trivia, historical acts of cruelty, and general references I've sprinkled into this story.

Once again the use of the word pathetic. The rest of the paragraph was very positive thinking by the new bottom boy,. However by including the word pathetic in there, you give room for him to think badly about himself for bottoming. He should be happy and proud that he is giving of himself to the pack. Not feel negative about it. Sorry, I can get stuck on little things sometimes. But, it really breaks the flow for me. Btw - I haven’t said it, but I wouldn’t be all the way to this chapter if I wasn’t enjoying the writing.

It’s great that they are boosting him back up at this point. However, calling someone pathetic doesn’t really seem to belong in the discussion in this chapter. Just one use of a term like that (pathetic isn’t a positive term no matter the tone of voice) could undo all the positive work done recently. That would only work if the guy got off on being degraded which doesn’t seem to be the current plan. Sorry, it just really slammed me in the face and broke the flow of the story for me. Tom

I don't care that it's short, I really appreciate the work you do❤️‍🩹. I really liked these scenes, very erotic. I hope you enjoy your break a lot, and that you can return soon to write more of this sexy story 😈

I normally don't like first person stories but felt like I wanted to give this a go. I was not disappointed at all in the story or the writing. I am left with a wondering of how Eric ended up with a cock in his ass. It's a tantalizing prospect.

How did I miss you posting this one man? Loved it!

I love coming back to this series!

Amazing work. You are becoming a favorite writer of mine quite quickly!
