Glad to hear Rubbersome is doing well and hopefully his life will calm down soon. I read his work over and over again. This chapter was amazing. Each one some how improves upon the one before. I had a feeling the Sheriff would not be able to maintain his hold over the deputy. The Sheriff was never capable of loving the deputy. That bond needed to be there before both of them were joined with a symbiote. Joe was a strong enough alpha and had a fatherly love for his son that he could resist. Tony's young lust out weighed his love for his father. I'm happy to see Vernon found Rugby Boy. My own twisted mind has thought about the three Variants creating a plant baby that's gigantic bloom could engulf Rugby Boy's entire body. Maybe it wouldn't create a new great one or greater one but a new hybrid with all three abilities. But that plant wouldn't work in the amazing garden we are strolling or sashaying through. Reading this section among others in this chapter did it for me. > Power. > > He was flexing and deep-breathing and thrusting and moaning – and he felt something slip down the slit of his cock. A wet vine, a flat-backed eel, a whisper-thin tentacle – it entered him. Something living slid inside – erotic and horrifying. He was so close. > > And this creature settled into his balls, swelling to full-size, weighing them down. He felt it trying to connect with him – rudimentary communication – emotional stimuli, images, as if it were discovering the pathway to language. > > I am. You. With I. Me. Us are. WE are. Together. > > The brink of orgasm. > > Join me. > > Ecstasy! > > Joyous, mind-numbing pleasure. Acceptance – rope after rope of cum – of godseed. > > We. Us. We are… > As I was about to cum this time and other times during this chapter the thought crossed my mind. "HAIL GREAT ABSMAN!"

> I think letting the characters retain their personality creates hope in the reader, even if it’s false hope, that the enslavement can somehow be reversed > Beyond that, there's a question of who to trust? If someone's a mindless drone, we pretty much know whose side they're on. If a character retains their personality, until they utter their allegiance, we don't know what they believe. It creates a layer of paranoia I like.

Plus I think letting the characters retain their personality creates hope in the reader, even if it's false hope, that the enslavement can somehow be reversed. Death of personality is usually only good for demonstrating the direness of the situation, or as the climax of a story. Once a character is a mindless drone, there's no opportunity for character growth, they are at best an obstacle for your protagonists to have to deal with at some point.

> That complete erasure of personhood and the destruction of genuine emotional connection (be it between parents and children or true lovers) like it is nothing is *horrific*. > 100% agreed! That's why I went there rather than mind-wiped slavehood. This allows the Hosts to retain their personalities -- rather than just be drones -- but have motivation to obey, however severely misguided it may be.

Or maybe it was Burt Ward's acting skills.

@Feed Your Head, I found those scenes more amusing (and arousing) than horrific. It reminded me of storylines from the old Batman series, where Marsha the Queen of Diamonds or (more appropriately) Poison Ivy would use a potion or pheromone perfume to make men fall in love with her. Maybe I'm just not a romantic, but that's been the hottest part of the story for me so far, watching these love relationships (or father-son relationships) diminish in importance as one of the men gets controlled by a Great One.

What a terrific chapter. Honestly, I never liked Sheriff Lane--even all the way back in the first part of the series, he was an arrogant, cocky jerk. Seeing him get his just deserts is indeed delicious! :p Less tasty for me, though--and definitely playing into the horror element, which you do beautifully--are the scenes where the more powerful Symbionts use their abilities to make their victims fall utterly, hopelessly in love with them. That complete erasure of personhood and the destruction of genuine emotional connection (be it between parents and children or true lovers) like it is nothing is *horrific.* Imagine loving someone all your life, swearing up and down that you were meant to be...and with a single gesture, all of that love is destroyed. That makes me shiver and even cry a bit...you truly are an amazing author! :)

I wish him luck in resolving his issues and hope he is able to join us soon!

What a sweet romance! I look forward to the next chapter.

> I’m a Rubbrsome fan, Absman. The more twisted and trippy, the better! > Funny you should mention Rubbrsome! I'm happy to say I got an email from him this morning, because he'd heard we were talking about him in the Forum. He's healthy and well, though he's dealing with some life stuff, and he'll come back to us when he can. I'm even happier to say he's reading this series -- and he likes it!
