Oh, my heart. My HEART. A perfect ending achieved at last! I cannot thank you enough for the gift of this story--it's kept me going through some very unhappy times. Knowing that a happy ending existed for everyone...it gives me hope, too. I must say I loved the sequence where Tyler's two halves were literally divided--you did a fantastic job presenting them as aspects rather than split personalities, and the hypnosis scene to make it happen was also incredibly hot. And while the sex scene was scorching, my favorite parts were the affirmation of love and, more importantly, the single phrase "It's about us." That, I think, was the key to understanding this entire story: the idea of sex, love, and everything in between being best when it's a mutual, respectful experience that satisfies *all* parties involved. Brian was only ever interested in his own satisfaction, and THAT made him the villain; everyone else had the seeds of mutual enjoyment all along, and watching them blossom was a wonderful journey. Speaking of Brian, I must say that you gave him the best ending possible--a chance at redemption. As Javi said, it could take him centuries to learn how to be a good person, but you gave him the possibility while still making him work for it. Having him magically become a "good guy" would have felt cheap; having him earn it over labor and shared experiences is far more rewarding and realistic. And then that surprise ending! Strangely I'm not as worried as I should be--the magic of the Lamphouse will likely protect Javi and the gang in future adventures (especially the ability to warp back in the face of death). But the idea that Doctor Torralva is still lurking out there makes for a great cliffhanger, as does the idea of Javi, Riley, and Tyler traveling around and granting wishes. I wonder if Javi knows?... All told, this has been a fascinating story: a character study in people realizing their sexuality (not just their orientation, but their true selves and what makes them happy), a brilliant case in how to write foreshadowing and well-crafted plots, sex scenes balanced with character development and adventure, and--best of all, I think--something that united *everyone* in the comment section and got us all eager to see what happens next. You, @Naedre, have a true gift for writing, and I now make a wish of my own: I wish that you will never forget it! :D With gratitude, Feed Your Head

@Naedre, thank you for writing such a well-plotted, sexy, charming, and amazing story. I haven't been commenting on each chapter, but now that it's concluded (for now), I couldn't help but leave you some praise. It is not often that I read a story here that gets me horny and also makes me want to know more about the characters. The way you plotted this out with every single wish tying back to each other, is such a feat. Especially with Brian's wishes ultimately backfiring on him. Brilliantly done. All of the characters felt incredibly real. Even the one that started by seeming like one-off characters had a depth to them. I've been a fan of yours since "Sinners and Saints," and I'm so happy you're posting stories mote often. You are a fantastic author, and you inspire me to write more!

Masterfully done from start to finish. You set up an intricate story arc with interweaving elements, multiple character voicings, startling time shifts, and a number of structural challenges that could have gone haywire at any point - a daunting task at best, and not for the timid - and you held it together like Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic, with all the emotional affect, erotic heat, brilliant mind control/TF, and satisfaction for your audience that implies. This is a landmark story. I'll be coming back to it for years. The final moments with the guys are beautifully depicted; your knack for dialogue shines brightly there. And your denouement with Brian in Nepal is the tweak to the cheeks that holds the happy-ending sugar spike in check and keeps the story alive for us, and I hope for you as well. You could easily expand this universe for a long run; these are characters and situations that seem ripe for exploration and linger in the mind and heart. What a ride. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and art with us.

I love this idea of being hypnotized (with consent!) to get a piercing. Would love to even see some tattoos pop up :)

What a geat ending of this story. Brian get his comeuppance. Javi gets to explore the world after all those years. Joe and Noah being a horny couple. And finally Tyler finally realizing he is inlove with Riley and them being together. And them being able to flip being Dom and Sub. Love a switch couple. Im gonna miss the every Friday lamphouse story. But i hope you get inspired to return to this story someday since there could be one off, or sequel potential. Either about the exploration of Javie with or out without Ty/Ri or the return of the doctor with Brian.

Which of your stories was the first chapter to this? I just found this one & finished reading it, b4 I read the note about the first chapter. Can I get the name of the story if can. Thx

uuuuffffffff... GREAT!

I can only thank you, @Naedre for this incredible ride through this week of mindblowing cause and effect, sex and emotion. Again, please let us vote in romantic (heart). It's a shame we cannot do that!

What a grand journey this has been. I will be sad next Friday when there is no more, but all great stories must end. I do hope you find the time and energy to return to this world. But for now you’ve earned a break. Bravo!

Well that escalated a ton! Not saying it’s good or bad but I love how the story is going. I love how deeply hypnotized that Ed or Dicklicker is. To be honest, if I can get into trance and hypnotized at all, I’d love to go through what he’s going through! I still don’t know how this story is gonna end since so many curveballs are happening and that’s keeping me excited about the next chapters!
