A simple Haunted School event had been in the works for awhile, but when a couple of students get pulled into it at the last minute, it takes an unexplained incident to cause the right kind of ruckus to distract the coming crowd for the pair to be prepared.

A young college student wakes up in a room with nothing but a canopy bed and pink walls, indicating they are the latest in a long line of victims of a ring that forcibly transforms young men into women to stream onto unsavory parts of the internet for the entertainment of strangers... So why then is he so excited at the prospect of this happening?... more>>

I wrote this story having gotten inspired by an idea on Twitter, and basically dove headfirst into self-indulgent wish fulfillment. Is it dark? Yes, I would say so, please read the included content warnings for your own safety and if I missed something you think could trigger someone please inform me and I'll add it to the list. Any resemblance the PoV character has to a younger version of the author is ENTIRELY intentional. Inspired by this tweet(SFW tweet from an NSFW Account). https://twitter.com/CrownCosmo/status/1462216103518556166

CONTENT WARNINGS: Kidnapping, needles, criminally nonconsensual situations mentioned, dubious consent*, dysphoria, internalized transphobic rhetoric, mention of Blanchard’s “theories”, self-hatred, shame, pressures of ‘gifted child’ expectations, brainwashing, bimbofication, masturbation using a transforming body from masculine to feminine, 2nd hand conveyance of transphobic remarks in the epilogue.
*specifically situations the main character would consent to in a more equal power dynamic, but they are technically in a situation that anything can be done to them without consent... <<less

_Content Warning_
* Dubcon so dubious that noncon might be more accurate.
* Transphobia (plus some homophobia and mild racism, for the full set) - and on the part of the MC too. She gets better, btw.

In a world where almost everyone has a superpower, I'm one of the few who was born without. But that is not something I'm upset about. Superpowers are for humans, and I spent all my life working my way to stop being one. I don't need to be born with the ability to fly, breathe fire, shoot lasers from my eyes, or have an indestructible body. I worked tirelessly to be able to do all of that and more.... more>>

Now only if I could beat the last villainess with her detestable superpower, I would be the strongest being in the world.

Stella does not believe she will ever get back in the saddle, but that doesn't mean she still feels a connection with the farm where she teaches. To save her reputation and regain her confidence, she has get on the farm's newest steed, Monkey.

This is vaguely based off / a response to the readonlymind story Ritual of the Familiar. https://readonlymind.com/@TsukiNoNeko/RitualoftheFamiliar/ . My CWs for RotF include identity death / personality erasure / it doesn’t count as comfort when you erase the person you hurt in the first place. CWs for both this and that include gross implications, sex / discussion of sex, discussion of sexual kinks both okay and not, magical violence, and an underlyingly messed up setting. Whether you read RotF before reading this is up to you; this is not intended to require knowledge of the original.

This is a short story, barely over 11k words total (typical normal-length webnovel chapters are usually around 2k~4k).
It was written as a reader-interactive story, over on fiction.live. I've tried my best to write in a way that would easily translate into a reading-only experience - however, if you notice anywhere where there feels like a question/choice was given to the readers, please tell me and I'll fix it.

Any and all criticism is appreciated, though please do try to keep civil about it ^_^ <<less
