Elias and friends thought it was just a storm, everyone at Avonside University did, but when the clouds cleared and the sky was revealed again, they were met with a strange sky. Gone were the city lights and everything beyond the limits of their c
As the author pointed out in the description, this is fanfiction for The Sisters of Dorley. Obviously, if you haven't read that, then go read it first as it's brilliant. However, assuming that you've binged on that already and loved it, I would definitely recommend this as a second course.
The writing is good. Here and there I noticed a few sentences that didn't flow well due to what looks like random oversight while typing it out, but nothing frequent enough to be a big deal.
This story has a host of new characters (a new year/intake) along with many of the 'old' crew from the original story, many of whom are more seasoned mentors at this point.
If you like the original, then give this a try - it follows the same template and hits many of the same themes.

I won't pretend that I didn't initially pick this story up to cope with waiting for the original Dorley to update, but I won't deny that this story easily sucked me in. It is clear to tell that you have a great deal of respect for the source material, but you aren't afraid to expand and explore as you build out from the original. I'm seeing much of the same notes as the mainline Dorley universe, but I am interested in seeing some of the newer plot threads and seeing the new and fascinating journeys the latest batch of "boys" (and Sophia) goes through. You have done an excellent job of following in the footsteps of the original author by intertwining the narratives of various gender feels and traumas with the characters, original or canon. I look forward to seeing this work continue!

Great fanfic of the Sisters of Dorley.
I like the idea of a follow up and development of the feminisation institution.
In many way it's similar to the original, though with the original casts now being senior sisters or sponsors.
I would say the main difference is that the cast/victims/transformees are way more hardcore than in the original. Instead of a rapist and a drunk driver we get an abusive Nazi financier and the owner of a website to out transwoman as the worst cases.
While this does somewhat reduce my sympathy as a reader for the cast, the author still managed to make me feel with them. Also I didn't have the persistent feeling here that forced feminisation was a way over the top response for their crimes. These guys kinda have it f**king coming. For most of them hurting others wasn't an oopsie side effect of dealing with their own trauma, but something they just accepted to feel better about themselves.
Overall a great take on the Sisters of Dorley universe. Would recomend a read.
