I promised you on the Discord chat that I'd comment on the second ending but it slipped my mind - did you hypnotize me? 😅 My bad - it was a lot of fun to read, and Mike's decision to embrace the dark side was more of a natural fit, I felt, than Ryan's deep dive in the first ending (and now that the story's finished, I'm looking forward to hearing what you've been waiting to say about it!). Compromise is by nature anti-climactic and doesn't pack the dramatic punch of a stark choice, but here it's the pivot point for the outcome and has to drive the story towards its resolution. By loading it with as much dynamic energy and narrative support as it can carry, you make it vital enough to overcome the inherent lack of drama in conciliation. Mike fought hard for "the Ryan he wanted" and powered through every obstacle to get his heart's desire, and although it's a triumph of good over evil (dang it!), I feel it's the most authentic of the three. I'm a sucker for gay hypno romance, I suppose, and a well-turned happy ending in a cum-covered classroom gets me every time! Thank you for this work of art.

@[HypnoMutt](/user/show/10022083) I think the point I wanted to discuss based on your first comment was, as you said, "the concept of Ryan as benevolent-non-consensual manipulator." To me, this has always been Mike, not Ryan. And one of the things that interested me is how much of Mike *was* changed by Ryan's reprogramming, and how much existed apart from Ryan's programming. Like the recurring point that Mike likes hot older men now that he is gay, and Ryan doesn't share that interest, so never programmed it into Mike. So... where did it come from? Was it already somewhere deep inside Mike before Ryan did anything? A melding of Mike's history with father/coach figures with his newfound appreciation of the male form? Was he into older women when he was straight so that naturally transferred? I intentionally left that bit vague. Similarly, Ryan never programmed Mike to be compassionate or kind, but Mike was anyway. Mike's hypnotic subjects always ended up happier and 'well-adjusted' afterwards, while Ryan tended to focus just on his own pleasure and treat the men as disposable afterwards. Granted, for most of the story, they are hypnotizing men together, so the subjects are both used for pleasure by Ryan and 'improved' by Mike. As for Ryan, I think he is, in his own way, a victim of his past. He expects men to hurt him, betray him, and disappoint him. And so Mike's resistance felt like another betrayal to him. It was a breaking point for Ryan, considering how much he had invested into Mike, with his time and emotions. I think Ryan probably regretted it afterward. Its hinted at in the epilogue, but Ryan, for all his power in that ending, is miserable and lonely. Surrounded by puppets and not people.

@[Naedre](/user/show/931338) Your first paragraph brought home and laid out something subtle but essential about this ending: it's where we realize that Mike has been in the driver's seat from day one and he's got more going on than we'd first thought; the added dimension that realization brings to the story opens us up to a deeper meaning that's below the surface. Nice to reflect upon, and I'm in awe of your skill with these vivid and compelling characters. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and notes! I've got a new performance in development, and just came out of a nasty block; reading your analysis keeps my channels open, and reading your stories gets me off the dime and back in the studio turning out work. (they get me barking my head off too but that's a given, awoo.)

Great story, but I'm also fascinated by the specific call out to to _Boléro_. Any particular reason for that?
