For the record, this story is me being cheeky to Absman. He's expressed his dislike of stories where the same transformation occurs over and over, which he refers to as "and then the same thing happens to Bob". So, since he's been in my head a lot this week, on account of my finally reading his excellent series "Pollination", I decided to write a story where the same transformation happens over and over and over - except I wanted to make it a decent story. The title is a direct reference to his forum posts on the subject. @Max Ryon -Thanks! The societal stuff is obviously a reflection of what we've been seeing this past year. The confusion, the fear, the exponential curve, the health briefings with few answers, the fatigue and the growing sense of the new normal, and the sense of inevitability. The differences of course being that, in our real world, it's not inevitable and it's not ordered. We'll get through this. I actually didn't mean to take this spin, focusing on the health crisis aspect, but it turns out that's what my subconscious needed to talk about. @Hypnothrill - Nope, February 20th is the day Jacobs get hit with it. Dereks probably got hit near the end of January. @anon - Aw, thank ye sir! @Feed Your Head - I'm a guy with a dumbing down fetish, and for some reason I've picked a hobby where people call me clever. Makes no sense to me. Thank you sir! @absman420 - Glad you enjoyed me poking fun! Now hurry up and release the next chapter of Pollination already!!! Time feels like it's taking forever. You might be a 'T', but at the rate we're going, you'll be a sexy bodybuilder before the last chapter comes out ;) @grammarAnon - There are guys who are actually named 'Bob'. It's not always short for Robert. There are a few people I know who get in a fight with the utility company whenever they move and have to set up a new account. "No, not Joseph, Joe. J. O. E. If you send the bill to Joseph, that person doesn't exist here. Yes, I know you need my legal name. It's Joe." Yeah... I suck at apostrophes. I'll go back and fix em if I think of it when I'm at my computer. @Hypnoguy67 - Thanks. Its the fourth story I've started this week, and unlike the other stories, one that wanted to be written. @AAA - You trying to get to the front of the line bro? Thank you for acknowledging the difference between what I wrote and what you hope to read. Waaaaaay too many people act as though a story is bad if it doesn't match the kind of horny they are today. I appreciate you not doing that. I don't think this is the right concept to explore the internal change in. It had to happen fast if we want to get to all the men on the planet. You'll notice the time it takes is shortening - by the time we get to the Williams and the Xaviers and the Zanes, they won't even feel it happening. Just a normal guy and then *snap*, horny gay bodybuilder. My back catalog has quite a few like you're looking for, maybe it's a good place to look. And if you've read all of that, don't worry, now you've got the idea in my brain. @Somnus - Thank you sir. That's exactly what I aim for.

Nicely done, Derek. It's a clever little riff on the "and then the same thing happens *to somebody else*" trope that Absman has expressed his dislike of.

I love this story! It really is an unusual setting and I really enjoy the mixture of obliviousness and just desserts. I don't usually like "revenge" stories but Kit's contempt for the CEOs of these huge companies really works for me, probably because they're so into it and it feels mostly harmless but still very hot!

An interesting idea well executed.

"Bob was done before Robert? It seems like you could alter the timing with a (nick)name change." Well now I'm going to be overthinking the targeting mechanics of this for the next while, thanks. :/ :P -- Also, while I get this was a short idea-piece more that something directly pornographic, I have to admit, I've not seen as many 'internal perspective as someone becomes hot muscled sex-focused' stories as I'd like recently (dumber optional), so I admit to some mild disappointment - in terms of my expectations; the execution of what you were aiming for was great.. But if someone were to write a version of this that explores it more fully (accelerated perspective during the transformation so the writer has more subjective time to explore?), that would be really awesome.

Great work, Derek! Very creative.

Whoa, this was a surprised indeed. I have a few ideas that might be approached. Like Thanos used his snaps to make Clint realize his true love for Pietro, using Pietro to seduce Clint to have him willingly join the Thanos' avengers, or maybe have Pietro escort Clint on what he could have done and made him proud in SHIELD. After his suppoused conversion, Thanos plans to use Clint as a Medium to spy in SHIELD while using their cocktail of mind controlling semen on all men in SHIELD. Even having Tony uses his resources to make all male superheroes submit to Thanos. Whoops, a bit too much there. But hope this helps.

Bob was done before Robert? It seems like you could alter the timing with a (nick)name change. A nit: the plural if Aaron is Aarons, not Aaron's. Ditto the other names. "New Years" should be "New Year's" as it owns the implied period of time.

That made me very, very happy. Thank you for the laugh and for the clever satire. Brilliant. Well done. Sadly, my name begins with "T" -- unless we go by oennames!!!

What a clever, hot story! Great going. :)
