Whew. One of my favorite parts of this chapter is the way you've taken a recently-popularized trend on the site—aka, self-lubricating butts—and done a spin on it that feels distinctive and somehow *intimate*. Like, *romantic* butt-lube... The fact that Carter describes it to himself as 'the lube my body had made *for* my buddy Brook'... Or the way Carter shivers and reacts to the feeling of cold air hitting his lubed hole, and seems viscerally affected by the sensations... Or the way its pheromone-laden scent 'bursts into the air like a spray of cologne' and causes Brook to be even *more* turned on and growly as he's making out with Carter... Butt-lube as eros. I love it. Let me put *that* on my next Valentine card... As other commenters have said, I'm really excited to read the remaining chapters when the contest is over! This story is fantastic, and incredibly fun.

Rules of the Game Players: Nick - Straight/Bi himbo puppy; under Hypnotism D, Curse 1, Curse 2a: oblivious to all rules and players except Darius Darius - Gay Handler; under Curse 2b, avoided Hypnotism S; in control of Nick via Curse 1; knows about Hypnotism, all Curses, and all Players except Deborah (?) Gwen - Computer programmer, responsible for Hypnotism; doesn't know about Deborah or Curses, thinks both Nick and Darius are hypnotized, doesn't know Darius knows; doesn't know Darius and Nick are actually dating Deborah - Goth, responsible for Curse 2; messed up Curse 2, having a breakdown that Darius doesn't seem to be effected by curse 2b; doesn't know about Gwen, Hypnotism, Curse 1 or that Darius and Nick are actually dating May - Unalligned friend to all Players; has experienced Curse 1; doesn't know about any of this Trish: Witchy Referee responsible for Curse 1; "fixed" Curse 2 will undo everything but Curse 1 in a year; knows all the Rules, doesn't care about the Players Rules: Curse 1 - Cast by Trish to get a good fucking; when Nick and a girl are mutually attracted to each other, they go into "The Zone" and start mindlessly fucking each other; despite what she says, has many consent concerns, such as almost causing a fuck session in the middle of the airport and causing this whole misunderstanding based mess in the first place; also gives a dude Nick trusts ultimate control/veto power over him Curse 2 - supposed to drain muscle from Darius (b) and give to Nick (a) when a orders b around; was accidentally draining muscle from all dudes (fixed); makes b give into a's commands Hypnotism - makes D into an Alpha Douche King who orders everyone around, and S into a subby bottom; D is currently effecting Nick, S is not effecting anyone (intended for Darius) Twue Wuv: Darius has feelings for Nick independent of all of the above, Nick was under Curse 1 when he asked Darius to date him I think that's everything? PS: I'm going to miss Nick's muscles ☹️

The intertwining approach of past and current is so fucked up but it works. Like talking about your childhood while having sex kind of fucked up, but it does justify(?) coach's thought process. And that he thought Luke would be his son in law... awww. One thing though, I did not expect Coach to be such a level-headed and coherent person. He's also a lot younger than I expect, in the way he speak (read: the way this chapter is written), but it also feel distinct from Luke's (read: previous chapters), which is drown in clueless-ness and lust. Might just be stereotyping, but when I think of coaches (or any father figure) the first thing that comes to mind is "incapablility of articulating thoughts in the way they think should be expressed". Maybe bc he's a single father? Or maybe he's just not a stereotype. Kinda refreshing, but also make me feel guilty of thinking of him that way.

Always great to see a new chapter. Things are really heating up now. Nice reveal that the fight was never really between the families having sex or not but rather abuse and care. It is a bit sad that the uptight religious values that Peter has been struggling to uphold does not seem to have any actual relevans with the powers "upstairs". I do wonder how kinky this love based sex is allowed to be. Is it monogami? Will Peters new online friends get to see them have sex on the webcam? Spying on him in the shower was use and abuse but if they both agree to it, then a webcam show might still be in the cards and could teach the other men about the difference between lust and love. Perhaps the guys have already gotten a show if Peter has already managed to put a camera up in Blakes room. I can't wait to read the conclusion.

Omfg man this is heating up to an amazing conclusion

Love this story so much, I've read it multiple times :) any chance we will see the next chapter before the 1-year mark of this chapter's release (April 21st)? Hope things in real life are going well!

in addition to being hot, this is so so charming! i love superhero media, but don't always click with superhero themed porn? this, though, is absolutely perfect, ticks all my boxes. i know you're juggling a lot of plates (and i love all of them, so i won't be disappointed no matter what you put your energy into), but i will definitely be keeping my eye on this :-)

Okay I know this is kinda a dumb thing to fixate on, but I love how you wrote Ig's jealousy of Brook at the start of the chapter. I feel like it's so easy to write jealousy in a way that feels ugly, or possessive. Instead, the way Ig gets jealous (and how he unknowingly reveals his actual tender feelings) makes him feel _more_ lovable. It makes us realize, too, that even with all the sexy smirking and babyboy-ing, he really _likes_ Carter. (And also it's just very very funny how terrible he is at hiding it. And how Mr. Ignacy himself fixates on Brook's _name_, of all things...) I feel like Ig and Carter had such fantastic sexual chemistry in the previous chapter that of course I couldn't help but want more of them. Like, wow! But I was still thinking of Brook and Carter as the "main couple" of the story... up until the opening of this chapter. You managed to get me rooting for a power _throuple_, all from the little jealousy scene alone.

I love this story SOOOO much. I really want it to just continue forever. My heart skips whenever I see another chapter posted. I’m going to be so sad when this comes to a conclusion but dear lord I love it. Excellent work all around!
