I really like this episode too. Joe and Noah are the middle of the spectrum for our couples, Tyler/Javi on side and Brian/Riley on the other. Love that they are a very healthy couple and do consent but still have fun corrupting/turning guys bi, and also being considerate for the women on that club. Also i adored Tyler giving Javi and human experience. I hope this 4 people/non people wont face problem that Brian will cause. That dude better fuck himself.

...OK, this is AMAZING. I don't know why this comment section is relatively sparse (I think it's because the majority of us are primarily invested in the Brian/Riley storyline), but this chapter isn't just brilliantly written--it's a fantastic meditation on positive sexuality, ethical multiple partners, and consent. The discussion of whether or not the wishes would be turning men gay against their will is particularly poignant, as it doesn't necessarily answer the question so much as provide the readers an opportunity to decide for themselves. I also can't believe it--this is the best integration of female characters I've ever seen on this site. Only a few authors have touched the subject of women falling under spells/hypnosis, and to be honest, I've never really liked how it's done--the site is supposed to be about gay guys, and reading about straight sex is no fun for me. But having the women who witness Noah and Joe have sex become more into watching their boyfriends make out with other guys--now THAT is genius! It keeps the focus on male/male stuff but still allows the women to be affected by the change in a relatively healthy way. Well done! I also have to shout out the scene where Joe and Noah declare their love for each other. In so many stories--and, by admission, my own head for many years--love and sex are separated; the idea of saying "I love you" during sex is "wrong" somehow, because love is supposed to be a pure, "good" emotion and sex is primal and "bad." But this scene genuinely made me overwhelmed with happiness--and it was still incredibly sexy, too. You hit the perfect balance of the two ideas, and they enrich each other. Just plain amazing. And finally, the scenes of Javi eating--and especially the brackets you use to indicate his emotions--brought me back to when I was a teenager reading "Animorphs" books, and specifically when Ax would eat food and communicate how delicious it was. That gave me a warm fuzzy nostalgia feeling--just another one of the powerful emotions this story is creating. You're a truly phenomenal author, @Naedre, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Great story!

Cant wait for more chapters, please dont make us wait to long!

Oh, I was excited to leet the other three or four brothers, but we meet the sister instead? Nice! And Therma has quite the fun personality, and show a new, very creative use of the Pharaoh's powers! Wonderfully written and creative has always!!!!😀💚💚💚

Great! You *are* aware that multi-chapter stories are allowed in the contest, are you?

So good to see you’re writing again. Can’t wait to see how this develops

I thoroughly enjoyed this story, especially the cliffhanger “oh shit” moment at the end. I was engaged from the start and captivated by the end. I hope there is a follow up

I’m a sucker for a romantic power dynamic like this. I’d be an Alex any day of the week.
