I enjoyed the story of Buzz and Gordo but I agree that it's finished. I think happy endings are rare and precious in this mythology you're building, and this one shouldn't be messed with lest it unravel. Of course I would be interested in other threads being followed.

I think this was a very sweet ending to this "branch" of the story. Most of the turned men are not going to have a chance to have a happily-ever-after with any of the men they attract. I like that this chapter has added the idea that some of the turned men can pass the hairiness on to other men. I wonder what would happen if an already gay man crossed paths with one of the turned men?

Sorry this one's taking so long, everybody! IRL has been rough, but I also really want to get the next installment right. Chapter 10 has been mostly done since the start of December, but I can’t stop tinkering with it. I feel more pressure to revise the longer this story gets because the stakes feel higher.

The twist! :scream:

DUN DUN DUN DUN

Oh if you gave Gordo and Buzz their own series, I'd be REALLY happy about that. The last two stories gave a lot of background on Gordo/Oso, which was amazing, but I want to know more about Trent/Buzz. Love your writing, I look forward to seeing more from you!

Fantastic! I didn’t think these two could get anymore intensely close but I am happy that I’ve been proven wrong.

This was really good! I’m excited to see more of the coach

Wonderful! So lovely and sweet, with just that hint of danger.

I'm gonna take a break for today at the end of this one (but bookmarked and tbc). Yeah. In a lot of ways, we're in similar boats. It's not dirty enough to be porn _really_ it's more, "cutesy fanfic which depicts the sex when sex happens, which is not that often." It's very easy to score this series punitively because of the ratings as categorized. If this were an alternate reality where "cutesy" "silly" "playful" were categories, this saga would be hitting 5's like they were going out of business. It's a nicely written work, that is off-brand for GSS (and this is a concept I'm very familiar with :sweat_smile:) So it will always have *that* battle, and it's a battle I can relate to. I would say this ought to at the very least be also released on Cupid, like, immediately. Cupid at least vaguely has a "love-heart-y" looking category that's just begging to be set to 5/5 for a series like this. If not even "romantic" per se, the series is very clearly "lovely in every way, and almost excessively so", whereas here on GSS I'm leaving the 'Mind Control' category blank and scoring as high as I can in other places, but finding scant excuses to give more then 3's, 3.5's, 4's (for lack of suitability). The series is bizarre and lovely and charming despite what is justifiably mediocre ratings. Mediocre rating as a consequence to the situation it exists in, not because it is in _actuality_ a mediocre piece of work (I hope that is very clear to you, because if it's not, it should be); far from it, and kudos to you for working through it in context of how it was always going to be received here, and delivering something *this* good anyways. How... delightful (so far anyways), and I didn't even need to know Pokémon stuff to enjoy it; I can just 'Are ya Winning Son' Dad my way through the Poké-jargon, like one does with Star Trek when the warp drive manifolds fails to realign. Bookmark booked, tbc.
