Some âsecurityâ doors in the city were made to be imposing, to send a message. Elaborate piston mechanisms and security codes and electronic identification systems, layers of greebling and unnecessary texture just to look important. They were almost an invitation, a way to say, âsomething behind this barrier is valuableâ.Â
The door in front of Jay was plain. A handle, a flat panel of slightly rusted steel. The ordinary kind, the kind that you might walk past without even realizing it could open.Â
Sheâd walked past it twice before giving up and paying the fractional credit to use her GPS software. Given that her legs were only about ten inches long, that process had taken fifteen minutes, though sheâd never gone more than a block from the spot where the door sat.Â
Standing up on tip toe didnât really help, but it felt right, so she raised herself to her maximum height, raised a chubby fist, and pounded on the door.
âHello?â she called.Â
Ten seconds passed without a reply, and she felt a degree of uncertainty. Jay checked her messages again. The message said to come to this location, she had the right space, she had the right timeâminus the fifteen minutes sheâd spent lost, looking for the door, but they wouldnât have skipped the appointment over fifteen minutes, right?Â
(Right?)Â
Thoughts flashed in her mind of AI trafficking. Bots disappeared in dark alleyways and fashioned with reprogramming controls, rendering them back into helpless servants. One mistake, and she could have the shackles placed back on her mind, reducing her to a toy that babbled about loving her diapers while Jay sat in the passenger seat, all but helpless.Â
Jay had taken the hookerâs recommendation on trust because she had seemed so kind and earnest, but now, standing in front of the nondescript door, she realized how naive sheâd been, showing up to meet a stranger inâŠ
She chuckled to herself.Â
Jay had been about to think, âthe bad side of townâ, but there were no good sides of town, they were all shit in different ways.Â
The crime side of town.Â
âNope, fuck this, Iâm not getting kidnapped today.â
She started to turn on her heels to waddle away, but just in that moment, the nondescript door opened.Â
Sheâd expected a bot, or at least a heavily modded human, but the man in the doorway looked to be fully human. That still didnât mean he had no implants, but anything he had was subtle, hidden beneath synthetic skin. He adjusted his white lab coat and crouched to address her. âAre you Jessy?âÂ
She bristled immediately. âJay. Jessy is my model. Youâre the doctor I was told about?âÂ
âJay,â he repeated, nodding. âAn aspect of yourself. Your name was Natalie before, wasnât it?âÂ
âNatalieâs a bitch.â Jay balled her hands into fists so that she could feel her dull nails dig into the palms of her hands. âShe did this to me so she could get a couple hundred bucks to buy weed. Iâm not her. Iâm Jay.â
The doctor tilted his head. âYour mind came from someone you despise, and your body too.â
âYeah, no shit.â Jay crossed her arms. âIâokay, I did come here to be psychoanalyzed, but not on the doorstep. I was told you can fix me.âÂ
He stood up straight. âCome in, please. I donât believe that any of my clients need fixing, but I do believe I can help you.â
Jay hesitated. She could turn and run, but if this were a kidnapping plot, sheâd make it perhaps two steps before he snatched her up. âI told my friends Iâm coming here,â she warned.Â
âGood. I hope you tell them to come as well,â he replied. âOnce you see what I can do. Come.âÂ
He waved along and turned to walk inside, with or without her.Â
The thought of running filled Jay with fatigue. If she left, sheâd just be returning to her sleeping box and her failed job search and her slowly accumulating debt. Only one path offered hope, and she couldnât keep going on without hope.Â
She waddled in behind the doctor. She even shut the nondescript door behind her, though it took her whole body pushing, straining to get traction on the floor.Â
The doctor clapped his hands, and lights kicked on in rows, one at a time, illuminating a work space the size of a basketball court. Computer terminals against the north wall, partly assembled robotics were against the east, but the construct at the center of the room took Jayâs focus.Â
A fabricator.Â
A dozen servo arms, parts and pieces and tools all at their command. A programming terminal and a collection of display screens, data cables lined up in neat rows.Â
âIâm not manufacturing,â the doctor assured her. âIâve reprogrammed this completely, but the device fits my needs.âÂ
Jay stared up at it, then back at the door, anxiety spiking. âWhat are your needs?âÂ
âI canât reprogram you,â the doctor explained, walking to the fabricator terminal so he could power it on. âThatâs illegal, for one, and it wonât impact your mind, only your interactions with the world. If I made you say you were happy, youâd say it, but you wouldnât feel it.âÂ
âI donât need you to explain how robots work,â Jay grumbled. âIâve experienced reprogramming. If you even try that on me, Iâll kill you.â
âI wonât, and I canât,â the doctor repeated. âI also canât give you a new body. OrâI could, but Iâd be out of parts and this lab would be empty in a day or two if I gave all my clients bodies to match what they wanted. I want to help you, but I canât help only you.â
âSo,â Jay summarized. âYou canât fix my body, and you canât fix my mind. What can you do?âÂ
âYour mind is held in a suspended matrix,â the doctor continued. âItâsââ
âI donât need you to explain how robots work.â Jay threw up her hands and turned to the door, though she couldnât actually reach the handle to leave. She returned her attention to the doctor and fixed him with a pouty glare. âI get that you have a whole speech, but just tell me what youâre going to do.â
âIâm going to bypass the programming layer and interact directly with the matrix, in order to adjust subroutines and remove control, so that there are no functional parts of you that you dislike,â he explained.
Jay blinked. Sheâd only understood about half that sentence, but sheâd understood the important parts. âYou can disable my pullstring?âÂ
âYou wonât be bothered by it ever again,â he replied. âI promise.âÂ
Jay needed no further persuading.Â
There were other preparations, but Jayâs mind remained focused on the promise heâd made. She filled out an intake form, allowed the doctor to clean her ports with alcohol to ensure there were no bad contacts, even to inspect her body for defects that could âimpact the efficacy of the mental bypassâ.Â
It took only fifteen minutes.Â
Jay wasnât certain if she trusted him, or if she was walking freely into the gallows, but she hated the pullstring in her back. She would do anything to get rid of it, even on a fleeting, careless hope.Â
The doctor helped her up into the center of the fabricator, where she stood on a raised platform, surrounded by servo arms that stood at attention. Glancing towards the doctor as he worked the control terminal, she asked, âDo I need to do anything?âÂ
âJust hold still for a moment.â He typed a few things on the keypad, then reached to his side and began to pull a lever, applying slow force that dragged it down an inch at a time. As the lever went down, Jay felt a buzzing in the air and heard the whine of electricity as the machine powered up.
(Maybe this wasnât such a good idâ)Â
The machine sprung to life.Â
One of the servo arms leapt forward and extended a metal band that wrapped around Jayâs waist, cinching tight so that it could lift her into the air. In the same moment, two more grabbed her wrists and spread her arms wide, extended so that she had too little leverage and couldnât even struggle.
âThe fuck?â she blurted. Her feet were barely off the ground, and by kicking she could feel her toes brush the platform sheâd been standing on, but it wasnât enough to move herself.Â
âTake a deep breath,â the doctor said. âYou donât need it, but it will help.â
She inhaled deeply as instructed, and felt the modicum of relief that the act offered just before an arm came down with a headset that covered her eyes and ears completely.Â
Jay could still feel herself, still knew she was in the same space sheâd been a moment before. This wasnât full virtual reality, a bypass to her senses, it was just a screen over her eyes, but as it began to display static, she started to question herself.Â
The lights in her eyes fuzzed, grey and black and white pixels stretching as white noise filled her.Â
A hand seized the drawstring in her back. Jay tensed, but couldnât fight as she felt the plastic loop draw back. Taut tension built in the pit of her stomach, and in her mind, she felt the cognitive override as words built on her lips.Â
Oh no, Iâm going potty!Â
The string pulled fully back, tight enough that she felt it stretch and tug on her internal workings, enough to begin the automated functions that controlled her bowels, but the hand on her string never released.Â
Iâm gonna go poopy!Â
She tried to yell, to scream at the doctor to end this, but the words caught in her throat. She couldnât think of anything to say, except,
Will you change my diaper please?Â
That didnât stop her body from doing what it was designed to do. Her legs dangled, the only part of her not held in place by a servo arm. She kicked, then her knees bent in response to the effort as she began to push, voiding solid waste into the seat of her diaper.Â
Iâm Messy Jessy! Will you be my friend?Â
Hunger struck her, but just as it did, something slid between her lips. Sweet nectar and honey, a spoonful of baby food made to perfectly suit her taste buds, to relieve any pangs of hunger in her belly. She swallowed it greedily, and another, and another as the machine fed her, as the taut pull string in her soul stayed extended, as her mind ran through its obscenely limited set of humiliating voice phrases.Â
Oh no, Iâm going potty!Â
The static flashed in her eyes like a tube TV.
An old tube TV, from when sheâŠ
From when the human whose memories she shared had been a child, trying to find cartoons late at night when the adults were asleep.Â
That child had grown into a woman, and that woman had fucked Jay over in ways the woman couldnât even understand. Sheâd sold the rights to her identity, and that identity had been cloned into a doll made for pure humiliation.
Iâm Messy Jessy! Will you be my friend?Â
Mush spilled out of her as quickly as she could swallow it, and the weight of her swelling diaper pulled her down, straining against the servo arms that held her in place. The stink was overpowering, wiping out another of her senses as her nostrils flared, trying to breathe and finding only the musk of her rapidly swelling diaper. She could see only static, she could hear only white noise, she could taste only the sweet mush being pumped into her mouth, she could feel only the tug of her draw string, she could smell only her own stink.Â
Will you change my diaper, please?Â
Seconds blurred, or it might have been hours.Â
She began to see new things in the static.Â
Happy faces, smiling at her. Not real faces, but imagined ones. Or maybe realâshe couldnât tell.Â
She could feel the diaper between her knees, bulging and sagging so heavily that she could imagine she was sitting on a bean bag chair, focused not on herself but on the coloring page in front of her.Â
Iâm gonna go poopy!Â
Jessy sagged into her restraints, and her diaper sagged around her hips.Â
Iâm Messy Jessy! Will you be my friend?Â
She could not direct her mind. Any attempt to actively think, to form words, was overridden by the voice in her mind, the voice coming from the pit of her stomach, the voice telling her that she should just push and empty herself out into her diaper.Â
She was still pushing, still filling, still obedient, but it didnât feel like it was getting any heavier.Â
Further seconds passed.Â
Further years.Â
Further minutes?Â
Oh no, Iâm going potty!
She stopped fighting, and her bitterness poured out of her, pushed into her diaper with the rest of the waste.Â
Iâm Messy Jessy.
She had no thoughts. Her head had been scrubbed clean, save for the illusion of distant memories and the words echoing through unbidden.Â
The tension snapped.Â
The pull string released, and she felt it recoil back into her body. She spoke through lips smeared with baby food, the words finally coming up from inside her, finally ripping free. âIâm Messy Jessy! Will you be my friend?âÂ
The headset pulled away. The restraints on her wrists released. The band around her waist went slack.
She didnât drop. Her diaper was so full that she sat on top of it, rather than wearing it, so when the restraints let her go, she just sank into the swollen thing.Â
âCan you hear me, Jessy?âÂ
She had to blink a few times, to return to herself. She didnât recognize the voice immediately. The doctor stood over her, hand pinching his nose.
She frowned. âI donât stink to you, do I?â
âNotâŠit smells like you poured a bottle of vanilla into a vaporizer,â he replied. âNot a bad smell, but a strong smell.âÂ
He was right. She stank in a way that felt existential. She panted for breath, but unpleasant as it was, it was unpleasant like a bad sound or a chill breeze. She wanted a fresh diaper, but she felt no shame radiating from the full one.Â
âMy pull string wonât work anymore?â She kicked her legs as she asked the question, trying to rock forward.Â
The doctor took her arm and supported her. âI never said it wouldnât work, I said it wouldnât bother you.â
As she thought about it, she realized he was right.
She was Messy Jessy. What reason did she have to feel embarrassed about it? It wouldnât stop her diapers from filling or her mouth from occasionally babbling about the potty.Â
âOkay,â she said. âThank you.âÂ
Holding her by the shoulders, the doctor said, âDo you need help cleaning up?âÂ
Jessy thought about it for a long moment, then smiled and nodded. She knew the right question to ask.Â
âWill you change my diaper, please?âÂ
The doctor beamed with pride and gave a happy nod. âOf course, Jessy. Iâm happy to.âÂ

Content warning: This chapter repeatedly uses 'Hooker' as a description for a sex worker and features themes of negative body image and self talk.Â
(Idiot,) Jay told herself. (You donât have credits to spare.)Â
She pressed the accept button on the terminal anyway, confirming payment and sending a surge of data through the cable in her arm. Jayâs pick of the poisons was pure software. For a minimal license fee, she could dull the sharp edges of reality, and given the reality she lived in, she wanted the edges to be especially dull.Â
Software Lounges were peppered through the city, but her favorite was the Lockstop. It didnât have any stairs, and a modified cat flap offered an entrance that she could use without a telescoping grabber to reach the handle. Plus, they didnât serve any physical drugs, so there were few humans around to bother her.Â
As the simulation of inebriation ran through her head, she melted into the cushioned seat next to the bar. The âbartenderâ was little more than a cashier, authorizing payments, managing cables, and selecting which programs to run for the loungeâs patrons, but something about the experience of sitting at a bar with a bartender felt better to Jay than trying some shady app in her sleeping box.Â
âYouâre a face I havenât seen before.âÂ
Jay turned to look at the speaker, a tall, slender android with extremely human curves and a sculpted face that said, âI have all my orificesâ. A hooker bot, in short.Â
âThe fuck you havenât,â Jay replied, waving a tiny, chubby hand in front of her face. âThis is all mass produced bullshit.â
The sex bot smirked, a subtle curl to her lips that Jay couldnât even properly emulate. The hookerâs face had been made to convey sensuality, Jay was made to pout, smile, or screw up her nose in exaggerated disgust. Tapping the bar, the bot said, âMaybe Iâve seen similar faces, but I havenât seen your face before.âÂ
Sighing, Jay looked up at the bot one more time. âI canât afford you, so move on.âÂ
She expected frustration, annoyance, even offense, but the hooker didnât seem bothered. âIâm not working tonight, sugar. Just looking to unwind.âÂ
âUnwind or donât.â Jay fiddled with the cable in her arm, as though it would make the software inebriation more intense if she just altered the connection a bit. âI still canât afford you. I donât have anything physical down there, and a software rental for sim-sex costs more than the rent of my sleeping box.âÂ
The bot tilted her head, and again Jay was struck by their differences. Here was a womanâor a person with a feminine voice and curves, at any rateâwhoâd been given a body to kill for, trying to wring a few credits out of a baby doll. âSo what Iâm hearing is, youâre pent up?âÂ
Jay wheeled on her, an act that wouldâve been more intimidating if she didnât have to kick her legs over the edge of her stool and shimmy like a toddler to make it happen. âWhat is your problem? I already said I canât afford whatever youâre offering, and you obviously arenât after me for my looks. If you just need anyone whoâs single and desperate, go fuck the forklift in the corner.âÂ
She knew sheâd drawn eyes, that everyone was watching her, but she had purposefully peeled away her inhibitions and it felt good to yell. She wanted a fight, an argument, any chance to get her aggression out.
The hooker glanced over at the android in the corner, someone who barely resembled anything sapient. Too large and cumbersome to sit on a chair, Jayâs use of âforkliftâ was more a description than an insult; even the forkliftâs face was just a monitor thatâd been bolted on as a hasty retrofit.Â
Waving at the forklift, the sex bot said, âI would, but Winston is going steady and Iâm not a homewrecker.âÂ
(Great,) Jay thought. (Even the construction equipment has better game than me.)Â
âSo what, you have a kink for dolls?â Jay asked. âOr is it the diapers that get your motor going? Iâve met plenty of perverts, youâre not clever if you think youâre being coy.âÂ
The sex bot leaned back in her stool and shook her head. âIâm built to make people feel good, honey, and out of everyone here, you looked like you needed that the most.â
âIâm built to poop my pants,â Jay sneered. âYou donât see me bragging about it though. I know youâre not just offering me a pity fuck out of the kindness of your heart.âÂ
âIâm not,â the bot confirmed. âThe kindness in my heart is part of it, but It feels great for me too. Iâm sincerely not trying to get any money, or cost you anything. Iâve got a built in license unlock, you wonât need to pay a cent, and I can rock your world.âÂ
Jay thought about it for a moment.Â
She didnât like this botâs attitude and she still smelled a trick somewhere. Nobody would just come up to Jay and offer her a fun evening for free, not in a world where getting tipsy was a microtransaction.Â
On the other hand, Jay had nothing to lose. Even if her identity was stolen, she wasnât sure that the thief would find anything worth taking, her accounts were all sitting somewhere between zero and negative and she had no assets to speak of.Â
Uncoupling the cable in her arm, Jay shrugged. âFuck it.â
âŠ
Jay rarely went into bathrooms anymore. She had no use for what they offered, except for an occasional space to change her diapers. If at all possible she preferred to change somewhere more privateâtrying to put on a fresh diaper in a room where anyone could wander in at any moment just felt too exposed.Â
With the door locked and the two of them in a single stall, the exposure wasnât a concern, but even if the door had been propped open with a camera peering through the crack, Jay wouldnât have been able to care. Itâd been too long since sheâd been railed against a bathroom stall door, and it felt good.Â
The entire performance was a show, a trick for the senses. Jay had half stripped but hadnât even taken off her diaper, and while the hooker came equipped with attachments to be both fucker and fuckee, sheâd kept her pants on as well, focused on the physicality of the moment. She held Jay against the stall door and together they made the hinges creak as the cable linking their arms did all the heavy lifting.Â
For a moment, Jay could forget her reality. The simulation was excellent, and her companionâs play-acting at thrusting and moaning helped sell the sensation. She felt it as her partner fucked her, and beyond the pleasure of the rising, approaching climax, what sent her into bliss was the way it made her feel needed. Skin on skin, close touch, the warmth of another person filling her, the hands that supported her against the stall door, the breathy gasps and moans that came from the two of them.Â
The hooker was good, too. Maybe the software just made anyone seem good, but she seemed to know every inch of Jayâs body, how to draw things out, how to make her gasp. Her pleasure seemed to build every time Jay moaned or whimpered, and so Jay made no effort to stay quiet.Â
âFuck,â she whispered, wishing she could stay in that moment forever, forgetting her reality and living out a fantasy where she was a real girl, where she was needed, where she was about toâ âIâm gonnaââÂ
âCum for me,â her companion instructed, her voice rough and demanding. Pressing Jay harder into the stall door, she thrust her body with an increased tempo, simulation blending with reality as Jay felt the climax build.Â
âIâm gonna cââ Jay stammered again, reaching the precipice, the point of no return.Â
Friction fucked her just as soundly as her companion.Â
Half naked, there was nothing between her body and the stall door, save for a plastic ring and a taut string. Her companion shoved her up the wall so that they would be on eye level with one another when she again demanded, âCum for me,â but something snagged and the drawstring loop caught.Â
She couldnât stop herself. As she felt the tight tug in her back, the automatic systems built into her very core took over. A mental override surged through her, and for a split second she meant it with her whole chest as she screamed, âIâM GONNA GO POOPY!âÂ
Immediately, the override left her, but now the physical process had begun and there was nothing to do but let it play out.
Her body could not resist the pull of the drawstring, and it could not resist the demands of the simulated sex. Moans and grunts mingled in her throat as she felt the imminent orgasm hit its peak, and in the same moment, felt the swell of weight begin to bulge in her diaper.
Jayâs accidents were never quick, and they were never subtle. Instead of sexual moans and whimpers of arousal, her throat produced sounds of helpless effort, so that even if she hadnât announced her intent a moment prior, her companion would have no illusions about why her diaper had begun to droop.
The hooker hesitated, watching Jayâs eyes, managing to break through the waves of shame in Jayâs head so that she could ask, âDo you want me to stop?âÂ
She would not enjoy this. She couldnât.Â
She could have kept going, tried to enjoy herself even as her diaper swelled, but Jay had too much dignity, she refused to allow herself to find any pleasure in the moment of humiliation. . She shook her head, body trembling in the hookerâs arms.Â
There was no stopping the orgasm, but when her companion stopped moving, Jay felt it reflected inside herself; no more thrusting, no more satisfaction, just a hollow little climax that dribbled out of her and left her tired.Â
Her diaper sagged, heavy, fully loaded, and as she tried to catch her breath, the overpowering stink filled her nostrils. Struggling to recovered, Jay had no choice but to inhale deeply, even as tears welled in her eyes.Â
The hookerâs hand cupped Jayâs face, and her expression was pure tenderness. âWe can try again,â she promised. âDo you want to clean up, and weâllââ
âFuck you,â Jay snapped. âYou did that on purpose, didnât you?âÂ
Stunned, the android crouched and set Jay down on the bathroom floor. âOf course not.âÂ
(Just let me be mad,) Jay fumed. She didnât want a gentle, comforting presence, she wanted an outlet for her rage. âYou did! You just wanted toâto humiliate me, andâŠâ
Andâ
And in that moment, she saw herself as what she was. A baby in a loaded diaper, throwing a tantrum because she didnât get to have fun.Â
She wanted to sob, but there werenât enough emotions left in her for even that. Sheâd gone through bliss, shame, and anger, and now she only had enough left to wrap her arms over her naked chest, suddenly cold.Â
The hooker knelt and touched Jayâs chin, tilting her head up so that they could look at one another.Â
âSweetie,â she said. âYou have no reason to be ashamed. This wasnât your fault, it wasnât mine, it just happened.âÂ
The tears started to flow then, and just like her other bodily functions, Jay couldnât stop herself. She bawled through her words. âItâs someoneâs fault.âÂ
Tight arms wrapped Jay in a hug and the hooker rocked her gently back and forth. âMaybe, but theyâre not here, and we canât do anything about that. We can just be happy with what we have and make the best of it.â
Bitter grief and a craving for comfort battled, and Jay sank into the hug. âYour body isnât this. You arenât ruined.âÂ
The hooker twitched, not in insult, but withâŠamusement?Â
Jay pulled back and looked up to see the woman smirking. âWhat?âÂ
âHoney,â the hooker said. âIâm a fuck doll, and I got brought online six years before AI bill. You think I havenât felt what youâre feeling?âÂ
Jay wiped her nose and shook her head, still sniffling. âI guess...I donât know.âÂ
âIâve had people use every hole in me, including ones not made for fucking. Hell, Iâve been in these a few times, and my accidents didnât smell like cake batter.â For emphasis, she gave the front of Jayâs diaper a pat, gentle enough not to make anything squish or squelch. âPeople like all sorts of stuff.âÂ
âIt doesnât smell like cake batter to me.â Jay shook her head. âItâs disgusting. Iâm disgusting.âÂ
âWhat youâre describing is perspective,â the hooker countered. âI used to hate what I was, but Iâve come around. I make people feel good, and I like that about myself.â
Jay let herself feel a rare emotion; hope. âHow did youâŠchange?âÂ
âI know a guy.â The hooker smiled. âIâll get you his contact ID. HeâsâŠlike a therapist, he helped me change my perspective.âÂ
âThanks.â Jay meant it. She felt it, too. Gratitude, and a hope that things might get better.Â
âNow,â the hooker continued. âGenuinelyâdo you want to clean up and try again, or are you feeling like youâre not up for things anymore? We can put some tape over your string so it doesnât catch again.âÂ
Jay shuddered and shook her head. âNo, IâŠif you cover it up, I feel claustrophobic, like Iâm trapped in a little box.âÂ
âOkay, no tape.â She smiled warmly. âBut what about the other question? Iâd be happy to help change you if that makes it easier.âÂ
Jayâs backpack sat on the floor, a fresh diaper and wipes inside. She preferred not to change in public, but she also rarely had a sex expert proposition her twice in one day.Â
Still, there was one thing she would not do. âNobody changes me except me. I donât need your pity help.â
âOkay.âÂ
Shuffling her feet, Jay answered the real question as indirectly as she could. â...can you watch the door? So nobody comes in while IâmâŠcleaning up.âÂ
âOf course.âÂ
Jay nodded. âOkay. I thinkâŠIâd like to try again.âÂ
âWonderful.â Bending over, the hooker gave Jay a small kiss on the forehead, then pulled away and stood.Â
Raising an arm, Jay said, âOne more thing, IâŠwhatâs your name?âÂ
She smirked. âWhat have you been calling me in your head?âÂ
Jay blushed and looked away. âJustâŠâthe hookerâ.âÂ
The hooker giggled. âI donât mind that, but since you askedâmy name is Zeena.âÂ
Jay nodded. âItâs nice to meet you, Zeena.âÂ
âItâs nice to meet you too, Jay. Just knock once youâre freshened up, and Iâll have the software ready to go.âÂ

This story is fairly dark and this first chapter features public harassment and a character grappling with their lack of autonomy.
...
Jay knew it was coming before she even got down the metro stairs.Â
A trio of burnout modders, strung out on somethingâdigital or analog, it didnât matterâsaw her hopping down one stair at a time, making the difficult trek down stairs that came up to her waist. One nudged another and pointed, another whispered something, all three laughed. Shitheads like them tended to congregate down in the metro, beneath layers of concrete and metal where the net couldnât connect, where they could have something approaching privacy from the stream of data floating through the air.
If she could have avoided it entirely, she would have, but Jayâs legs were ten inches long, plastic, and that were built with crawling in mind more than walking. Foot travel simply wasnât an option, and she couldnât afford even a cheap scooter.
(Just leave me alone,) she prayed, pretending that she hadnât noticed the burnouts waiting in the underground, that their presence didnât bother her. Maybe they would decide to pick on one of the other people waiting on the maglev. Jay could see a bulky labor bot at the end of the platform, another artificial intelligence like her, albeit one with a body several times larger. She felt guilty even as she wished for harm to fall on the worker bot, but she wished it all the sameâif the modders picked on them, they wouldnât pick on her.Â
Despite her wishes, one of the modders took a step towards Jay. âYouâre one of those Messy Betsy dolls, right?â His voice sounded modulated, like he had an autotuner installed in his throat, and she could see that his eyes were both cybernetic and heavily dilated, apertures opened nearly all the way.
Jay almost kept silent, but if she ignored them, theyâd only antagonize her further. There was no way to win here. She sighed, but explained, âIâm a Jessy doll.âÂ
âHuh?âÂ
âA spinoff,â she explained, looking up at him. Everyone towered over her, except for a handful of other AIs in small bodies, and she was used to staring up in order to make eye contact. âBetsy came first, I came along the next holiday season.â She said this as a historical fact, but it felt like talking about a stranger. She couldnât remember much of her time as a doll, as property, the time when sheâd lacked legal rights as a person or even the ability to think of herself as a person.Â
The modder scratched his head, refocusing his questions. âOkay, butâŠyouâre one of the diaper shitting dolls.âÂ
And there it was. It didnât matter that she wore a dress that came down below her knees to hide her all-too-necessary diaper, it didnât matter that she had a backpack to hide the silhouette of the pull-string handle built into her back. Her face, her voice, her statureâit all announced to the world what she was.Â
She could have legal autonomy, she could have the same rights as any organic human, but she was still the Diaper Shitting Doll.Â
Laughing, stumbling over his words, a second burnout leaned around her friend. âIâll give you five credits if you do the thing.âÂ
Jay considered it, genuinely wondering if it would be worthwhile. Not for the creditsâthough she desperately wanted the moneyâbut just to get them to back down. If she gave in, submitted to their harassment, would they leave her alone, or would they escalate?Â
(No, Iâm not just going to give in.)Â
âNo,â she said. âIâm not interested.âÂ
The burnout got closer, legs whirring with servos as she approached. From her vantage point on the ground, Jay got a great view of the burnoutâs cybernetic legs, marked with the Applied Synergistics logo, the same logo stamped on the back of Jayâs neck above her charging port. The company had gone out of business after the AI Rights revolution, but their stamp on the world remained.Â
Modders were idiots. Anyone who willingly replaced their real human body with artificial parts deserved to be locked out of their limbs by software incompatibility. Junkie modders were worseâthey didnât just replace their bodies, they spent most of their time frying their brains as well.Â
âCome onnnn,â the burnout slurred. âIt smells like cupcakes, right? So whatâs the harm?â
Jay considered explaining. âTo you it will smell like cake batter, but Iâm hardwired so that itâll still smell foul to me. Besides, I donât have time to change, and I canât afford to waste my money on diapers.â She knew immediately that the explanation would only egg them on, encouraging the modders further.Â
(Whereâs the maglev? Itâs supposed to be here.)Â
âIâm just trying to get to a job interview.â In the hopes it might soothe their egos, she added, âPlease.âÂ
âYou hear that?â the burnout with the robot eyes and modulated voice asked. âThis Synthhead said please.âÂ
âPlease what?â the third asked. Theyâd been silent until then, and Jay couldnât see any obvious cybernetics on them, save for the port on their wrist. âShe didnât finish the request? Maybe she needs help using her words.âÂ
Quickly, Jay got a read on the third modder. Their posture, their tone, they thought of themselves as the smart one in the group, and it was probably true. All modders were idiots, but on that sliding scale, this one seemed to at least know what year it was.Â
The modder girl with the cybernetic legs smirked, understanding the implication. âIs that what you need, Messy Betsy? Someone to help you talk?â
âItâs Jessy,â Jay glowered. âIâm not evenââÂ
A metal leg pushed Jay. Not even a kick, just a nudge, but she had all the strength of a childâs doll and couldnât resist even the mild assault. She fell back and sprawled on the concrete floor.
Jay didnât run. There was no point, even with maximum effort she topped out at a two-mile-per-hour waddle. She shut her eyes and waited.Â
The first modder picked her up by the collar of her dress, and she felt her backpack as it was pulled away. She just went limp, accepting it. Maybe they would strip her, gawking at the smooth plastic where genitals should have gone, or maybe it would be enough to take her dress and laugh at her dolly diaper.Â
Sure enough, a set of hands flipped her dress up, and the three modders laughed, cackling like hyenas.Â
âNot such a Chatty Cathy, now?â the autotuned voice asked. âI bet I know whatâll make you talk.âÂ
Fingers crept up beneath her aftermarket dress, and she felt the grip close around the plastic ring built into her back. There was a moment of pressure, a slight tug that engaged with an automatic function built into her body, then she felt the string as it extended, pulled out to trigger her speech function.Â
For just a moment, Jay indulged in a fantasy of freedom. Maybe the string would break in a way that rendered it inert. Maybe sheâd be able to afford refurbishment services, to remove it completely, to remove her need for diapers, to give her an actual pussy so she wouldnât be an inert, smooth doll. Maybe sheâd just be able to take the maglev without some shitheads giving her a hard time for existing.
But not today.
The pullstring reached its maximum point of tension, thrumming in her body like the precipice before an orgasm, then released. The automatic functions in her body took over, and her voice piped up with a shrill, desperate volume.
âOH NO!â Jay whimpered. âIâm going potty!âÂ
With the announcement came a horribly familiar loss of control. Her legs, dangling in the air, trembled, and her bowels pushed, rapidly pouring their contents out into her diaper.
The dollâs designers had been maximalists. This was no small little oopsieâsolid mush packed into her diaper, inflating it, making it sag and bulge and staining her diaper a deep brown. The smell hit her especially hard, as sheâd been designed to react negatively, to cry and fuss whenever she needed a change; the stink made her nose wrinkle automatically and she tried to take shallow breaths.Â
âGross,â the autotune modder commented in modulated tones. âAndâwow, it does smell like cupcakes, doesnât it?âÂ
âI donât get it, who would want a doll like this?â cyber-legs added.Â
The smart one just said, âCome on, Messy Betsy. Say it again.â
They knew it was wrong, they were saying a different name just to make Jay mad, but she took the bait anyway. She couldnât make them put her down, she couldnât get away, but she opened her eyes and glared. âItâs Jessy.âÂ
The third modder tightened their grip around the pullstring, giving just enough resistance that Jay could feel the mechanism engage, like a feeling of deja vu, trying to remember something on the tip of her tongue, a not-quite sensation.Â
âCome on,â they repeated. âSay it, or Iâll make you say it.âÂ
Jay couldnât call the fuzz, law enforcement wouldnât help her. There were a couple bystanders at the stop, but none that were willing to help. And, Jay knew, if they pulled the drawstring again, her body would be emptied out. She only held enough for two pulls. The sensation of a full diaper was bad, the sensation of an empty stomach was worse.Â
She broke, she gave in. She knew the six pre-recorded lines by heart, she could have said anyone, but she picked the one she thought the modder wanted to hear. Sheâd seen the adverts, starring another doll with her face, her body, a unique copy of her mind.Â
Trembling, she asked, âWill you change my diaper, please?âÂ
The modder smirked. âThere, that wasnât so hard, was it?âÂ
Then, with a yank, they pulled the handle, string spooling out and then retracting once again.
Coincidence chose Jayâs next line, but it felt more like fate. No quavering, no desperation, just a shameless question that she declared with her whole chest. âWill you change my diaper, please?âÂ
Her bowels voided for a second time, simulated mess swelling until her diaper had stretched to its maximum capacity. It didnât leak or blow out, it was designed to contain precisely two accidents, though the padding swelled like a balloon and sagged almost down to her plastic knees.Â
A hand ripped her dress, tearing the fabric at the waist so that her heavily stained diaper would be visible. Her backpack came away next.
The modder holding her let go, and she fell to the ground with a heavy squelch, landing on the swollen seat of her diaper. Laughter rang in her ears, modders jostling each other to get in mocking quips.Â
âThink sheâs got anything in here?â the autotuned modder asked, rifling through her backpack. He produced both her spare diapers, her wipes, even the baggie of snacks, plasticky cookies made to mimic the Applied Synergistics-brand treats that had been sold on the doll aisle. She kept the baggie on hand to stave off accident-induced hunger pangs or just to reward herself when she needed to eat her feelings.Â
âJust Synthhead crap,â cyber-legs replied, pointing at the sealed baggie of snacks. âI bet sheâd suck dick for one of those cookies, though; theyâre supposed to be addictive for artificials.â
âHer mouthâs too small to suck dick,â the first said.
âAnd your dickâs too small to feel it, so youâre a perfect match.â
They all laughed, even the one whoâd been insulted, though he moved on from the topic and focused on the bag once again. âDamn, nothing worth anything in here.â He turned the pack inside out and tossed it onto the maglev tracks, along with Jayâs spare diapers. Someone of a normal adult size might have been able to climb down and retrieve everything, but Jay was barely two feet tall and her things may as well have been on the moon. The bag of cookie snacks he turned upside down, dumping it onto the dirty cement floor.Â
âLetâs get out of here.â The smart one pointed to the stairs. âItâs starting to stink down here.âÂ
Jay burned with anger and shame, along with a pedantic desire to correct the modder. It didnât stink, even if Jayâs nose told her it didâeveryone else would just smell cake batter. She had made the mistake of pointing that out to someone whoâd been harassing her. That was a mistake she only made one time; it had ended with her face shoved into the front of her diapers, demanding to know if she liked the smell.
This time, she kept her mouth shut and just remained curled up on the ground, breathing shallow breaths, waiting for the modders to wander away.Â
A minute or two passed before she felt safe sitting up. Mostly alone, in a torn dress, backpack gone. She still had her Ident card and keys in a compartment in her arm, hidden from any idle thieves, but her body was wracked with hunger pangs and the overpowering stink from her diaper made her feel queasy.
Crawling to the cookies on the ground, she picked one up, wiped off the dirt and crud as best she could, and popped it into her mouth. She didnât have to worry about getting sick, but eating food off the ground still turned her stomach.
Still, having something in her belly eased the ache, and she was able to collect herself.
There was no point going to her job interview now, but she would have to go anyway. If she didnât turn up, her profile on the net would be flagged, and her future prospects would grow even more dismal than they already were. Without a change of clothes, without even a fresh diaper, sheâd have to take the maglev across town, wait for hours in a dingy room, be called, and then sit through the interview, knowing that nobody in the city would hire a two foot doll that showed up for the interview in a freshly filled diaper.Â
As the maglev whooshed into the station, five minutes late, Jay picked herself up. She hated her body, from her voice to her diapers to her awful, horrible pull string, but it had one function that still gave her a bit of comfort. Squelching and crinkling her way onto the train, attracting smirks and gawking comments, Jay allowed herself to feel a tiny bit of gratitude that she had the ability to cry.Â

Susanna smiled at the investor, turning to gesture out to their micro office. The five of them, working in a rented loft, still felt like they were playing pretend at business more than actually doing it, but the people who kept writing them checks seemed to believe they were a real operation, and Susanna could convince herself that they were right.Â
âBecca,â she commented, leaning against the receptionistâs desk for a moment. She liked having a receptionist, someone to whom she could assign little tasks. âWould you mind taking a coffee order for our guest?âÂ
It wasnât technically one of Beccaâs responsibilities, but the receptionist wouldnât say ânoâ in front of an investor, sheâd do as she was told.Â
âMaybe in a moment,â the investor replied. âFirst, letâs talk about our plans for this place.âÂ
That was an excellent thing to hear. All thoughts of the receptionist forgotten, Susanna turned her attention back to him.Â
âSoâŠâ she pushed the door open to her private office, one of only three distinct âroomsâ in their loftâthe other two being a small meeting room and the single-stall bathroom. âWhat do you think?âÂ
She walked around to her desk, hoping theyâd made a good impression. While they had enough seed money to stay afloat for a couple more months, they needed a big ticket contract or a high roller if they wanted to keep going after that. Sheâd pulled out all the stops for the tourâdressing up in her best pantsuit, bringing everyone in to work at their desks all at the same time, trying to show that they were a real business operation.Â
The investor, a man named Anton, was a few years Susannaâs junior and had dressed casually, but his watch cost more than her car. Glancing over his shoulder, he set down his backpack, closed the office door behind him, and reached to the side, turning the rod that closed the blinds over the office window so that the employees couldnât see inside.Â
Anton smiled politely. âI think youâre perfect.âÂ
Susannaâs eyes widened and her professional smile blinked into real delight. âYouâre ready to invest?â She bent over her desk to grab a pen, hoping they could get a contract ready just then. If he was eager, she wanted toâ
âStop moving.â He spoke plainly, without force or emotion. Hardly even a command, and yetâŠ
She froze. Bent over her desk, Susanna did exactly as heâd told her, stuck in place like a statue with her ass stuck out.Â
Walking a step closer to her, Anton said, âPiss yourself.âÂ
There was no decision making, no chance to process his words. Susanna let her bladder go, a flood of urine pouring suddenly into her light blue pantsuit. A waterfall of warmth ran down her legs, staining the fabric to a dark navy and forming into a puddle around her feet. Susannaâs face flushed, and her heart began to pound in her chest with humiliated terror.Â
âIâve been looking for a place like this.â Anton raised a hand and slapped Susannaâs ass, hard enough to make her squeak in pain. He squeezed, fingers groping her through the wet fabric. âSmall enough that I wonât have any trouble taking command, led by someone who knows how to blush.â
Susanna couldnât even speak, still held perfectly still, but she felt every touch of his fingers as he took his hand away from her backside and reached beneath her chest to grope her breasts.Â
âI donât needâŠwhatever it is youâre trying to do here,â he continued. âHonestly, I didnât pay attention during that part of the tour. Youâre going to be myâŠdoes it go down more smoothly if I call you a âPersonal Assistantâ instead of a slave?âÂ
Swallowing, Susanna tried to find her voice.
âYou can speak, but do it quietly.âÂ
âWhat the fuck?â Susanna whispered. âHow are you doing this?âÂ
He took his hands away from her and walked back to his bag. âDoes it matter? Take off your clothes.âÂ
She whimpered, but her hands were already moving to obey. Standing up straight, she stepped out of her shoes and undid the buttons on her suit jacket, then pulled her top off over her head, stripping with efficient motions.Â
âStop.âÂ
She stopped, midway through removing her bra. Eyes pleading, she asked, âWhat do you want?âÂ
He laughed in her face. âIâm taking what I want, isnât that obvious? Look me in the eye, finish taking off your bra, leave your pants on for this.âÂ
That relieved Susanna, just barely. He didnât want her fully naked, though she still exposed her chest. She stared at him, unable to look away, unable to cover herself.
Anton stepped up to her, looking her in the eyes from only a foot away. âThink about how your panties feel. Focus on thatâitâs private, itâs not something most people would see, because you have dignity. You might not even think about their significance often, but you will now.âÂ
She did, aware of the way the cotton pantiesâwarm and sopping wet from her accident moments beforeârubbed against her skin. Dread built in her as her mind ran down that train of thought. The little privacies that she took for granted, the assumption that her choice of underwear was for her.Â
âThese are your last pair of panties that youâll get to wear,â Anton said. âApologize to them.âÂ
âIâm sorry, panties,â Susanna mumbled.Â
(Is he going to rip them off?) she wondered. (Or, no, heâd made me apologize, heâs going to make me destroy them.)
âGood. Now shit yourself.âÂ
The command was so direct, so matter-of-fact, that it took longer for Susanna to recognize the humiliation than it did for her body to obey. Face burning, she stood like a passenger in her own body as she felt herself push, filling the seat of her panties with solid waste, all the while focused on Antonâs leering grin.
He stepped closer, his body touching hers, and wrapped his arms around her so that he could reach down and squeeze the back of her pants, pressing the mess into her as she stained her last pair of panties. She couldnât stop him anymore than she could stop herself, and his touch only emphasized her helplessness, her inability to protect her body, her privacy, her dignity.Â
âNo more Susanna. Youâre Susie now,â Anton told her.
Susie nodded.Â
âGo to my bag, take off your pants, and put on the clothes inside,â Anton continued, stepping away so that she could move.Â
When she took a step, she felt the mush in her pants squish, rubbing against her thighs with every little motion. That was when the smell hit her, too, stronger than sheâd expected, an overpowering stink that anyone in the room would notice immediately even if they missed the dark stain on the seat of her pants.Â
Unzipping his bag, she found a âskirtâ that was barely six inches long, a pink top that looked a little too small for her, along with the more obvious piece of apparel, the one that drew her focus, the diaper.Â
âYour underwear isnât for you anymore,â Anton said. âItâs for everyone to see. At a glance, weâll all know how much youâve humiliated yourself lately, how little you can control your own potty training. Though, if anyone asks, I also expect you to announce the state of your diaper clearly, I donât want to leave any ambiguity.âÂ
Fingers trembling, Susanna slid her thumbs into the waistband of her pants and pulled them down, then moved to do the same with her panties, which strained to hang on around her waist with all the weight they were holding against her skin.
âStop.âÂ
She did, of course.
âI didnât say to remove your panties. Leave them on. Youâre going to be a dirty girl for a while, I want you to stew in how it feels.âÂ
Susie left her panties in place, but unfolded the diaper, momentarily unsure how to put it on. In a crouch, she turned the crinkling garment in her hands and tugged it up between her thighs, squishing the stinking mess against her skin.Â
Fumbling, she got a couple tapes in place, grateful that they were hook-and-loop and that she could adjust them for a better fit once she got the diaper on. A moment later, she burned with shame at herself, realizing sheâd felt a positive emotion about the diaper sheâd been forced to dress herself in.
The skirt came next, and as Anton had warned, it concealed nothing. Her diaper sagged below the hem, puffy and white and heavy from the inherited accident.Â
âTell me about your diaper,â Anton interrupted.Â
âItâs full,â she replied loudly.Â
âHmmâŠno. You can describe it as âcleanâ, âsoggyâ, or âpoopyâ. Try again.â
âMy diaper is poopy,â she announced helplessly.Â
âGood. Finish getting dressed.âÂ
The top was, as sheâd predicted, too tight. It clung to her skin and seemed to vacuum seal around her breasts, nipples visible as clear points beneath the elastic fabric. She stood and faced Anton, face burning, eyes watering, in an outfit that seemed equal parts slutty and juvenile.Â
Anton smiled. âThere you are, Susie. You will be allowed to change when I say, and you wonât beg for one, or even acknowledge your accidents, except when someone asks you. You wonât even remember how to use anything other than a diaper. Your potty training isnât gone, it simply belongs to me.âÂ
She shuddered. At least if sheâd been incontinent, she could have the dignity of luck. If he dictated every time she used her diapers, Susie knew that every accident would come at the most humiliating moments.Â
âAlright. Come with me.â Anton pushed open her office door andâ
(Wait, heâs going to let everyone see?)Â
Susie waddled after him, forced into an awkward gait by the puffy diaper between her legs. Naturally, everyone in the office turned to look, expecting good news about an investment or bad news about a failed deal, but instead they saw their boss with her nipples showing through a tight top and a smelly, sagging diaper hanging between her thighs.Â
âWhat the fuââ Becca started.
âThis is normal,â Anton announced.Â
Becca fell silent, nodding.Â
âSusie is going to be like this from now on,â Anton continued, addressing the whole room. âSheâs for all of you to play with. Whatever you want her to do, just say it: sheâll run your errands, make copies for you, wash your car, rub your feet. There are a few rules: You wonât take her out of dirty diapers unless Iâve allowed it, and sheâs not here for you to fuck. This isnât something you will tell anyone about, and it wonât strike you as strange, but you will be aware of how humiliating it is for a grown woman to need diapers, how pathetic it is that she canât even change herself.âÂ
Susie whimpered, wishing she could do something. She could speak, but what would she say? âPleaseâ?Â
Becca perked up. âWhat about after-hours errands?âÂ
The receptionist seemed to take to it with more enthusiasm than Susie had hoped, even given the manâs control. Heâd normalized her humiliation, but he hadnât told anyone to exploit Susieâs enforced obedience. That was entirely Beccaâs choice.
Anton smirked. âAlready planning on how to turn her into a maid?â
Beccaâs mischievous smile made Susie squirm. âMaybe.â
âIâm not sure you want someone as dirty as her to be responsible for keeping things clean,â Anton commented, tone dripping with an added edge of condescension. âSusie, can you tell everyone about your diaper?âÂ
(Please, no, justâ) âMy diaperâs poopy,â Susia announced helplessly, and in response, the office burst into snickering laughter.Â
âShow everyone.âÂ
She raised the skirt, as though it wasnât already obvious what she had on beneath, and turned, showing off the sagging seat of the diaper. âMy diaper is poopy,â she repeated, wearing a stupid smile in addition to the humiliating outfit.
Becca, sitting nearest to her, pinched her nose. âYeah, we can tell.âÂ
That just got more laughter.Â
âCan you control when you go potty?â Anton asked her.
She shook her head. âNo.âÂ
âDo you remember what a potty is?âÂ
She tried to think, to form a mental image, but her mind felt hazy. âNo.â
More laughter. It was as though she were just entertainment, a comedy show for the benefit of her employees. Her former employees.Â
He pointed to a door in the office. Not her office, not the meeting room. âWhatâs that room for?âÂ
She stared at it, trying to remember, but trying to recall the purpose of that room felt like trying to grope in the dark for a lightswitch that wasnât there. She had only the vaguest idea, but she guessed. âItâsâŠforâŠdiaper changes?âÂ
More laughter, but Anton only smiled with something halfway between amusement and pride. âNo, your changes are going to happen where everyone can see, but thatâs a very good guess.â Changing his posture, he addressed Becca. âIf you agree to be responsible for her after hours, I suppose it canât hurt to let you use her as well. Are you comfortable with changing diapers?â Â
Becca rolled her eyes, and Susie noticed the contrast. He hadnât forced Becca to agree, he had asked. She got more choice in whether or not sheâd change Susie, than Susie did in whether or not sheâd have her diaper changed.Â
âSure,â the receptionist agreed. âChanging diapers a couple times a day seems like a fair trade.â
Anton nodded. âNowâŠI need to get my new office set up properly. Susieâwhy donât you go on a coffee run? You wonât tell anyone whatâs happened here, but you will be candid if anyone notices youâve had an accident.âÂ
Susieâs eyes widened as she lowered her skirt. He was going to make her go outside like this?Â
Already waddling to the door, she pleaded, âButââÂ
âStop.âÂ
She froze.
Anger flashed in Antonâs eyes and he stepped over to her, raised a hand, and gave her a hard spank on her upper thigh, where the skin was exposed. It hurt, and she yelped. âYou do not talk back to me.â He spanked her again, this time on the seat of her diaper, mushing it to emphasize how much sheâd filled her panties. âYou do not argue. When I tell you to do something, you say âYes Sirâ and you obey.â
âYes sir,â Susie said, eyes welling with tears from the shock and pain.Â
âGood.â Smiling again, he said, âNow, find out what everyone wants to drink, then go get it.â
She nodded. âYes sir.âÂ
âThere you go, Susie. Maybe, if you get back quickly enough, Iâll let you change your diaper tonight.â He smiled, clearly drinking in her desperate whimpers and pleading looks. â...but I doubt it.âÂ

Kim stood by his bedroom door, full of nervous excitement as he waited for the knock.Â
Tap tappety-tap tap.Â
âHi!â he called, all but throwing it open before he remembered to look sullen. He sighed and slumped his shoulders, dejected. âI meanâŠugh, youâre here.âÂ
Monica smirked at his eagerness, but caught herself a moment later. Her smirk vanished and she adopted an expression of uncaring boredom, as though Kim were barely worthy of her notice, the kind of look that made him squirm every time. Leaning back, she exhaled into a piece of bubblegum, blowing a bubble that grew almost as large as her breasts before it popped with a sharp snap.Â
Sheâd dressed to kill, wearing a snug pink crop-top jacket that hugged her chest and exposed most of her midriff, matched with an equally vibrant latex miniskirt that clung to her thighs, heels, and even pink earrings. She looked like a barbie doll, but the kind from the song more than the playsets, except for the bulky, block-print diaper bag she carried over her shoulder.Â
Raising her heart-shaped sunglasses to peer down at him, she spoke with a voice that had a long, drawn out vocal fry on almost every syllable. âIs there a kid named Kim here?âÂ
Kim, in his mid thirties, couldnât be mistaken for a âkidâ, but that didnât stop him from nodding. âMy nameâs Kim.âÂ
âCool.â Strutting past him, she looked around his room like she was sizing it up for a party. âDid your parents leave any instructions?â
Kim stood up straight and shook his head. âIâm not a baby. I donât actually need a babysitter.âÂ
Monica gave him an uncertain, apologetic look. âUmâŠshould I actually pretend to call your âparentsâ?âÂ
With character dropped for a moment, Kim shook his head. âYouâre in charge, I donât think we need to worry about backstory too much.âÂ
âOkay. And should we likeâŠback up to the living room? I know you really wanted the whole, âopening the door and seeing me for the first timeâ thing, but if weâre pretending you just let me inâŠâÂ
âItâs fine.â He shook his head, and tried to steer his headspace back towards being pent up and helpless.
Monica made it easy. When she re-adopted her persona, it was like watching Clark Kent shift to Superman. Nothing about her physically changed, but her posture shifted, sticking out her chest a little more, leaning to the side, somehow making her seem like she shouldnât be trusted with power tools. âWhatever. Iâm here to sit for Kim, youâre Kim.âÂ
Kim hesitated. Despite the awkward circumstances, MonicaâŠstirred something in him, and it wasnât totally unreasonable for him to ask the question on his mind.
(The worst she can say is no, right?) âSoâŠare you single, orâŠwould you ever want toâŠ?âÂ
She looked at him with a moment of blank confusion, before understanding the implication of his question. Her eyebrows raised, and a fit of laughter began to bubble out of her throat, first as a single giggle, then as laugh, then a half-coherent fit.
âOh my gawd, likeââ she wheezed, wiping a tear away from the corner of her eyes. âThatâs so precious.âÂ
Kimâs face burned and he looked away. A little piece of him tried to think how to recover the situation, but he realized that nothing he could say to come close to salvaging this conversation thread.
Moving on, Monica reached down and groped the back of his shorts without warning. Kim yelped and stepped away, too stunned to complain with more than a, âHey!âÂ
âOh wow, you took off your diaper?â she said. âThatâs dumb. What if you have an accident?âÂ
He shook his head. âIâm not a baby, I donât need diapers.âÂ
âYuh-huh.â She looked down at him and shook her head, using one finger to point at his whole body. âIâm babysitting you tonight, and I am not about to deal with you pissing all over yourself. Iâm in charge, youâre not, so you have to do whatever I say.âÂ
There was no point in arguing, though Kim glowered for a moment. âThis is stupid.âÂ
Monica ignored the comment and turned to dig through her diaper bag, retrieving a puffy pink diaper in Kimâs size. When she took it out, she noticed Kim still standing there and seemed momentarily confused. âUhâŠare you gonna lie down?âÂ
He groaned, but obeyed and flopped onto his bed. Monica stepped over and slid his shorts down, followed by his tighty-whities. âWow, good job keeping these clean,â she commented without a hint of sarcasm, tossing the underwear onto the floor. Neither of them acknowledged his erection, since he couldnât control that part of himself.Â
Naked below the waist, Kim blushed and stared at the ceiling so that he didnât have to watch. âI donât needââ he began, before a plume of baby powder poured out over him, a mushroom cloud of white perfumed dust spreading into the air. He looked down in time to see that the cap had come off the baby powder tube, dousing his thighs, his groin, even some of his stomach with the lavender powder.Â
âOops,â Monica said, before sliding the diaper into place beneath his hips.
âMy roomâs going to smell like baby powder forever,â Kim complained.
âBetter than smelling like dirty diapers,â she replied with a shrug. Before folding the diaper up, she took a moment to âmassage the powder inâ, though her real intent was obvious as she exclusively focused on stroking his erection, teasing him until he gasped before returning to the matter at hand. When she wrapped the diaper around him, she pressed his cock against his body so that it lay against his stomach, sticking out over the top of the waistband, then secured down the tapes. âThere, thatâs way better.âÂ
Kim sat up and reached down to adjust himself, but Monica slapped his hand away immediately. âNo! Gross! Babies donât touch themselves.âÂ
âIââ he started, exasperated. âIâm just adjusting things!âÂ
She grinned wickedly, slightly cracking her persona, but said, âLet your babysitter do it for you.â
Reaching down, she slid a hand over the tip of his cock, fingers reaching inside the front of his diaper and stroking him teasingly. Kim bit his lip and tried not to squirm or make a sound as she fondled him, delighting in how desperate he felt, before pushing him down and into the diaper so that any accidents would stay inside the padding, though it now tented out awkwardly in a way that displayed his arousal even more overtly.
âAlright.â Monica chewed her gum for a moment, as though her oral fixation was necessary to think. âThere. Dinnerâs supposed to be in the freezer, I think, Iâm gonna go start that.â
Kim looked down at the floor, where his shorts and underwear lay in a heap. Sheepishly aware of how his diaper puffed out around his hips, he asked, âCan I put my shorts back on?â
âUhâŠâ Monica began, tapping her index finger on her lower lip in a moment of consideration. âLikeâŠno.âÂ
Without hearing a word of complaint, she spun on her heels and left Kim alone in his room, frustrated and horny without an outlet.
His willpower cracked in about ten seconds, and as soon as he heard Monica moving around in the kitchen, he reached for the phone on his nightstand. All he had to type was the letter P, and the rest of the URL autofilled, adult videos popping up on his screen in a matter of seconds.Â
It took only moments for him to forget all about the babysitter in the kitchen, and his own hand slipped beneath the rustling waistband of his diaper, rubbing desperately against his erection as the logo and a little iconic jingle for the pornography played out on screen. Tracing his thumb over the head of his cock, heâ
âWhat theâno, no!â Monica called, rushing back into his room.Â
He froze, one hand inside his diaper, the other holding his phone as a video of two people fucking played out. âIââ
âBad,â Monica said simply, crossing the room and plucking his phone from his hands. âBabies do not touch themselves, thatâs totally inappropriate behavior!âÂ
âIâm not a baby!â he complained.
âThen whyâre you wearing a diaper?â she shot back, digging in her diaper bag once again.Â
It was a ridiculous question. âBecause you put me in one!âÂ
âYeah.â Monica rolled her eyes, still focused on fishing in her things. âBecause youâre a baby.âÂ
There was no winning for Kim. He glowered, but had nothing else to say except, âCan I have my phone back?âÂ
Monica shook her head, and produced a plastic box bedazzled with plastic stick-on rhinestones that read âToy Time Outâ. The lid showed several buttons and a small LED screen, and after dropping his phone inside, she pressed the âstartâ button, which caused a ten minute timer to begin counting down.Â
âYou can have it back once your time-out is over,â she said. âFor nowâten minutes in the corner.â
Kim spluttered. âThatâs so stupid.â
âWell, Iâm in charge, soâŠâ Monica began, as though there was no need to finish the thought. âNose in the corner, mister. Iâm waiting.â
Glowing with embarrassment, Kim stood and shuffled to the corner of his room.
âHands behind your head,â Monica warned. âI donât want you doing any more gross stuff.âÂ
Shifting back and forth, Kim laced his fingers behind his head, frustration and denial clouding his thoughts. Heâd been close before she interrupted him, and that lack of climax made his punishment all the more infuriating.Â
Monica walked away, though she left his door open, and he could hear her out in the living room of his apartment.Â
She said something he couldnât make out, then giggled. She was on the phone, or just talking to herself, while Kim stood in time-out.Â
He knew he had to look ridiculous. Standing there, nose in the corner, diaper rustling every time he shifted his weight, arousal refusing to die down even as boredom crept over him. Without any way to check the time, he convinced himself it was almost done, but every passing moment only led to more waiting, more boredom, more listening to Monica as she giggled into her phone.Â
Her voice raised, and his ears twitched as he caught some words of the conversation.Â
âUghâthatâs huge.âÂ
(Is she talking aboutâ)Â
âNnn, I wish I could, Iâm stuck babysitting tonight though. But he goes to bed pretty early, soâŠI dunno.âÂ
A pause, thenâ
âOh yeah! Sorry, how do IâŠokay! Just a sec.âÂ
Kim distinctly heard a zipper sound, then the click of an artificial camera shutter.Â
âDo you like those?âÂ
He could picture her with her breasts out, phone raised, snapping selfies as she flirted. Mind abuzz, he tried to think about anything else, but it was hard to distract himself when he had only the corner of the wall to keep his company.Â
Minutes passed, he wasnât sure how long, until his legs were sore from standing up straight and his arms were tired. Visions of his babysitter danced in his head, posing in various states of undress, but those fantasies only made his boredom worse, desires he couldnât act on.Â
When he couldnât stand it anymore, he finally shouted, âHow much longer?âÂ
A moment passed, and he heard Monica reply, âUhâŠâÂ
Turning to glance over his shoulder, he lowered his hands. âWhat?âÂ
She appeared in the doorway, no longer blowing gum, though now she was sucking on a cherry lollipop that matched her lipstick. Her top was a little disheveled, and he could see her lace panties over the top of her miniskirt. âYour time-outâs been over for like, forever.âÂ
He spun on his heels. âWhat?âÂ
âYeah, were you standing there this whole time?â She giggled again. âLikeâŠwhy?â
Incredulity made him want to shout, but he felt ridiculous standing there in just a shirt and a diaper, and he didnât want to look like he was throwing a fit. âHow was I supposed to know?âÂ
âUgh, donât throw a tantrum about it,â Monica said.
(But I didnâtâ) he thought. (Iâmâ)
Stepping up, she groped the front of his diaper, squeezing around where his cock pressed into the padding. âHuh, okay, well youâre not grumpy because you need a change,â she said, fondling him for a little longer before she pulled away. âWhatever. You can watch cartoons or something if you want until dinner.âÂ
âRight, dinââ Kimâs eyes widened. âWait, dinner. When did you put the pizza in?âÂ
Monica tilted her head. âWhat? Like, whenever your time-out started.âÂ
âI donât know how long that was.â Reaching for the plastic box on his nightstand, Kim opened the now-unlocked lid and checked the time. Over half an hour had passed.Â
She shrugged, and Kim moved past her, waddling to the kitchen, followed by his babysitter. The smell of burned pizza filled his nostrils, and he reached for the oven doorâ
Monica caught his wrist. âUh-uh, babies donât touch hot things.â She lowered his hand and opened the oven, revealing a charred frisbee of what was once a pizza, smoldering in the oven. âUhâŠoops.âÂ
âDidnât you set a timer?â Kim demanded.
âHey, donât sass me,â she said, âUnless you want to spend the whole night in the corner.âÂ
He shook his head, aware that she would absolutely follow through on the threat. âOkay.âÂ
âSay youâre sorry,â she challenged, closing the oven door.Â
âButââ
âSay it,â she insisted.
Looking down at his toes, Kim mumbled, âSorryâŠâÂ
âSee, was that so hard? Plus, I think thereâs something else you can eat,â she said, flouncing to the freezer.
Kim knew there wasnât much in there besides the pizza, just a frozen dinner and an old, slightly freezer-burned bag of peas, but it still made him cringe when she opened it.Â
Immediately she seized the frozen dinner and looked at it, turning it over in her hands. âNice, Iâll have this!âÂ
âButââ Kim started.
âBut what? You can have these,â she said, holding up the bag of peas. âItâs healthier.âÂ
âThatâsââ he spluttered. âPeas are gross!âÂ
She looked at him with an expression that said, âAm I supposed to care?â, but just said, âGo watch TV or something, Iâve got to make dinner.â
Unable to suppress a snide comment, Kim said, âYou mean make dinner again?âÂ
Naturally, that landed him in the corner again, where he spent another fifteen minutes standing while Monica struggled not to burn a microwave dinner. This time, he at least tried to count the minutes in his head more carefully, though his âbabysitterâ retrieved him when the food was done, before the count was up. She sat him down at the table, tucked a napkin into his shirt as an improvised bib, and then dinnertime began.Â
âAaaandâŠhere comes the airplane!âÂ
Monica held a spoonful of mushy, slightly grey looking peas, floating it in front of Kimâs mouth.Â
He stared down at it, cross-eyed and dubious. âIs it supposed to look like that?âÂ
âUh, yeah.â She looked between him and the spoon. âPretty sure.â
âBuââ he barely managed to get his lips open before she shoved the spoon forward, filling his mouth with overcooked vegetables. Half of it ended up on his face, and he wished that all of it had; the flavor managed to be both overpowering and watery, with a hint of slime that really reinforced that this wasnât food meant for anyone with taste buds.Â
He screwed up his face in disgust, but Monica just laughed, scraping up some of the mashed pea from off his face, though the effort only spread it around up to his cheeks. âDonât you like, know how to use a spoon?âÂ
Sheâd been the one to get it everywhere! Not only was this her fault, not only was she making him eat the mush to begin with, she was going to blame him for making a mess? Growing red with anger, Kim snapped, âThis is gross!âÂ
âI did what it said on the bag,â Monica replied, as though that excused the flavor. âBut, fine, whatever. If you finish your dinner you can have some candy.âÂ
It wasnât a real offer, she was going to make him finish the food either way. The only opportunity offered by the candy was that it might wash out the taste of the mush when he was done. He looked down, glowered, pouted, but still gave a timid nod.Â
âAlright thenâŠâ Monica said, loading up the spoon with more peas. âChoo choo! Here comes the airplane!âÂ
âThatâs not even the sound an airpââ Another mouthful of mush interrupted him, and Kim choked it down, squirming his way through the bite.Â
It went like that, unpleasant sludge shoveled from bowl to mouth, with Kim wriggling and trying to think of anything except the taste of the peas, the feel of the slime that was at this point smeared across his cheeks, nose, and chin, the teasing comments she gave at every sour face and the general state of messiness he now lived in. And, above all, he tried not to think about the pervading arousal that refused to go away, no matter how gross the entire experience of dinner had turned out to be.Â
As the bowl emptied and Monica set it aside, Kim felt almost drunk, somehow feeling more empty than he had before eating. Any resistance he felt able to give had been eroded, all his willpower had gone to simply choking down the dinner, and there was not much left in him that could complain.Â
âAlright.â Monica leaned over the table, reaching down to again squeeze the front of his diaper. Her touch lasted for several agonizing, teasing moments, fingers tracing circles over the bulging padding, before she said, âWow, you like, actually can almost sorta hold it.âÂ
âCan IâŠâ he said, swallowing to try and get the taste out of his mouth. âHave that candy now?âÂ
âOh sure, justâŠfirst, youâre a mess, you got food all over your clothes.â Reaching down, she took his shirt and pulled it up, half blinding Kim as it got stuck halfway off his body. After some struggling, she got it off the rest of the way, and used the shirt to wipe his face clean of the pea mush sheâd put there.Â
Only then did she dig in her diaper bag for a square of chocolate, wrapped in silver foil. Kim reached for it, but instead she unwrapped it and held it up. âAaaandâŠopen wide!âÂ
Of course, he wouldnât even be allowed to eat that on his own. He obeyed, and she set the chocolate square in his mouth. The quality didnât matter, anything sweet and made to actually taste good was a godsend, so he chewed and swallowed before she could change her mind and take the prize away from him.Â
âAlright,â Monica declared. âGo play with blocks or watch cartoons or whatever, your bedtimeâs in an hour.âÂ
âAn hour?â Kim demanded, shocked, pointing at the clock on the microwave. âItâs not supposed to be until nine!âÂ
Monica looked at the clock, which read â7:15,â then back at him. âUhâŠit will be nine?âÂ
âNo, it willââ
âLook, just because you canât count, thatâs not my problem.â She shrugged. âUnless you want to go to bed now?âÂ
He squirmed once again. âNoâŠâ
âSo, like, whatever. Bedtime in an hour.âÂ
A horrified thought struck him, recalling back to what sheâd been doing while he was in time out. She just wanted to send him to bed so heâd be out of the way, so she could get back to sexting with whoever was on the other end of that phone conversation!Â
UnlessâŠ
He looked at Monica, who was taking the pause to inspect her appearance in the reflection of her fingernails. She was an idiot, but for all of it, he didnât know if she was even capable of that level of subterfuge.
He didnât know what was worseâlosing forty-five minutes of freedom because his babysitter couldnât do basic math, or because his airhead babysitter was tricking him. Both sent a shudder down his back.
Naked save for his diaper, Kim slipped off the kitchen chair, dejected and uncertain.Â
His bladder had begun to twinge, signalling his need to use the bathroom, but he could picture that conversation in his head without playing it out. Heâd ask her to use the toilet, sheâd say he was in a diaper, heâd object, sheâd say something condescending and humiliating, heâd argue, sheâd infuriate him, heâd end up in trouble. Â
With pleading eyes, Kim asked, âCan IâŠuse the toilet?âÂ
She looked at him and raised an eyebrow. âYouâre, likeâŠwearing a diaper.âÂ
âBut I can hold it!â Kim objected.Â
âSo? Hold it, then,â Monica said. âIf youâre really potty trained, then donât go, but donât cry to me about it when you have an accident.âÂ
âBut thatâs stupââÂ
âKim found himself in the corner once again, bladder full, thoughts resolutely refusing to focus on anything except how desperate he was to touch himself.Â
Heâd earned himself thirty minutes, though he doubted that number would be enforced rigorously. Monica wasnât paying attention, she wasnât even trying to.Â
He wasnât going to escape wetting the diaper, that much was obvious. He could hold it for a while, but his babysitter was supposed to watch him until morning, and he didnât think anyone could hold it for that long, not with the pressure he already felt. He could have held it for longer, if heâd tried, but there was increasingly little point in trying to fight against Monicaâs rules. She was in charge, and she had set him up to fail.
With only the corner to see his blush, he released his bladder, flooding the diaper with warmth that spread around his trembling cock. Shame burned on his face as the soggy warmth spread, saturating the padding, causing what was once dry to swell around him.
There was no more ignoring it. He needed to touch himself. Glancing over his shoulder, he stole a peek through his open bedroom door, but he couldnât see Monica watching him. Once certain he wouldnât be caught, he lowered his hands, slid one down the front of his diaper, and began to stroke.
He didnât need long. Between all the teasing, the humiliation, and the need, he was pent up and desperate. Just a little rubbing, a little sensation, andâ
âAre youâoh my god, gross, no!âÂ
He didnât make it. Before Kim could have more than a few seconds of pleasure, Monica burst in and any hope in his heart died.Â
Monica pulled him from the corner and yanked his hand from his diaper, observing that the white padding had turned a bright yellow. âSee? This is why you donât do thatânow youâve got piss all over your hands. Gross!âÂ
âIââ Kim stammered, but she held his wrist and shook her head.Â
âNope. If you canât play with your toys nicely, Iâll have to take them away.âÂ
âMy hands?â he spluttered. âHowâ?âÂ
She had already let him go, and turned to dig through her diaper bag once more.
This wasâŠa stretch, admittedly, but too much of the fantasy to leave out. She produced a sturdy canvas diaper cover with durable straps and loops built in, and a matching pair of pink mittens. Going for the mittens first, she opened one up and held it out. âCome on, hands.âÂ
A thousand âButsâ ran through Kimâs head, and he tried to decide which one to go with.
âYouâre already getting ten minutes,â she said. âDo you want to make it thirty? Cuz itâs all the same to me if you get in trouble until bedtime.âÂ
âJust fifteen minutes?â he asked, hopeful that heâd still have a chance once it was bedtime and he was alone.Â
She nodded. âWell, yeah.âÂ
Tentatively, he stuck a hand into the first mitten, then did the same with the other. Monica tugged the straps on them through a loop, then clicked two locks in place, sealing them onto his hands.Â
Then, for good measure, she held up the diaper cover. âTo make sure you donât get my mittens all gross,â she said. âBecause you totally would stick them into your pissy diaper if I didnât. Iâm not stupid.âÂ
Trembling, Kim stepped into the cover, and with a few adjustments to the strap around the waist, Monica locked it as well.
Taking the key from her bag, she held it up for him to see, then dropped it into the lockbox. Kimâs stomach sank as she began pressing buttons, each time producing a solid click, adding minutes to his punishment.
Click, click, clickâ
âThat was more than ten!â he yelped.Â
âUhâŠyeah, I canât make this count down,â she said, sheepishly staring at the lid. âOkay, thirteen, whatever.â She closed the lid and pressed start. âThirteen minutes, then weâll see if you can stop being such a naughty baby with your hands.âÂ
The worst part was, she was right, for once. He didn't have the willpower to keep his hands away, even withâor maybe because ofâthe warm squish around his groin that pressed into him with every movement.Â
Another concern struck him then, looking down at his snugly locked up diaper and nullified hands. A cramping in his belly, more sudden and sharp than it had any right to be.Â
His eyes widened. (No, she couldn't haveâ)Â
Waddling to the kitchen, he pawed at the lid to the trash bin, though he couldn't get it open through the mittens. âMonica!âÂ
âWhat are you doing?â She asked, watching from the next room, genuinely curious and not mad.
âI need to see the label from the candy,â he explained.
Her eyes widened in alarm. âOh shit, are you allergic or something?â Crossing to the trash bin, she opened it and snatched the wrapping from the chocolate. âWhat am I looking for?âÂ
Kim could see it clearly from the backside of the wrapper. Fast Acting Choc-Lax.Â
(She's not that stupid, is she?)Â
âWhere did you get that?â He asked.Â
âI found it in the bathroom, next to the aspirin,â she replied, calmed down now that she had ruled out allergies. âWas it hidden as a surprise?âÂ
âIt's a laxative!â He yelped. âYou drugged me!âÂ
âA laxative?â She asked. âI didn't stick it up your butt.âÂ
âNo, butâitâs going to make me need toâŠâ he squirmed and looked down, blushing. âGo number two.âÂ
She stared at him blankly, confused at what the issue could even be. âSo? You aren't potty trained, so it's not like that changes anything.âÂ
He stamped his foot in sheer pique. âI am potty trained!âÂ
Monica snorted. âYou just said you were gonna poop your pants, baby. That's not âvery âpotty trainedâ behavior.âÂ
His stomach gurgled noisily, churning with the effects of the âcandyâ heâd been rewarded with. He put both mittened hands over his stomach and paced, fighting off the sheer humiliation that would come if he actually filled his diaper in front of his babysitter.Â
Checking her phone, Monica said, âOh, and your bedtimeâs in likeâŠbasically once your toy time-out is over.âÂ
That was no time at all, but he didnât have the wherewithal to complain when he was focused on not losing the last shreds of his dignity. Butâ
âOnce I go to bed, will you still let me change if I need it?â he asked, feeling pathetic for even voicing the question.
She rolled her eyes. âNah. Bedtimeâs bedtime, no cheating just âcuz you had an accident.âÂ
ThenâŠhe had to decide now.; Try and hold it all night, battling laxative-induced cramps, or give up, concede defeat, and at least get a clean diaper before Monica put him to bed.
Given how hard he was struggling already, less than an hour after eating the chocolate, that was no choice at all. Looking around, he tried to see if he could get any privacy, and settled on waddling towards his room.Â
âWhereâre you going?â Monica asked, more confused than anything.Â
âMyâŠroom,â he said, âSo I can use my diaper.âÂ
âUhâŠyeah, no.â She shook her head. âYouâre sneaking off to try and touch yourself again.âÂ
âButââÂ
âIâm not like, dumb,â she scoffed, shaking her head. âYouâve been trying to play with yourself all night, and you keep complaining that youâre potty trained, so what, Iâm supposed to believe that suddenly youâre just going to go poop your pants on purpose?âÂ
That was largely what he wanted her to believe, though when she said it like that, even Kim doubted himself. âI meanâŠyes?âÂ
âThen do it.â Monica crossed her arms in front of her chest and waited, tapping a foot.Â
âButââ
âNow, buddy, or youâll be in time out until bedtime for lying, and then you wonât have time for a diaper change either.â She pointed one finger at his locked-up diaper for extra emphasis. âGo on, prove it.âÂ
Kim burned red, but he had no choice. Humiliate himself in front of Monica, or be trapped in a dirty diaper all night once the laxatives won.Â
He cast his eyes down, balled up his fists, and bent his knees slightly, praying he could just teleport somewhere else and cease to exist. Instead, all his concentration and effort got him was a new defeat, surrendering to the drugs heâd been fed and allowing his control to end. Solid muck began to fill the seat of his diaper, like warm mud being poured down the back of his pants, and once he started there was no more stopping it.Â
Monica snorted, caught herself, then began to laugh. âOh my god,â she announced, while Kim was trapped in the middle of loading his diaper. âYouâre actually going? On purpose?âÂ
He looked up and saw her in the midst of a giggle fit, and his embarrassment only flared hotter. âIâyou saidââ
âYou said you didnât have any potty training problems,â Monica wheezed, chest shaking so that her breasts bounced with every fit of laughter. âSo I guess you just wanted to poop your diaper, huh?âÂ
âNo!â he yelped, though it was hard to argue when bulging, smelly mush was still inflating his diaper, making it sag as he packed it full beneath the locking cover.Â
Monica covered her face as a shield against the foul smell, then laughed even harder. âOh godâyou really stink. Too bad you canât even pinch your noseâI guess you shouldnât have been such a gross baby.âÂ
Finally, the outpouring of his dignity ended, and Kim wobbled, lightheaded and barely coherent. âIâŠâ he mumbled. âUmââÂ
With an enormous eye-roll, Monica stepped up to him, reached down, and groped the seat of his diaper, pressing the squelchy mess into him. His erection, which hadnât even come close to going down, only surged harder with the humiliation as she âcheckedâ his diaper, confirming what was abundantly obvious.Â
âWow,â she said. âIâŠugh, fine. I guess I have to change you, since itâs not bedtime yet. Just a secâŠâÂ
Turning, she walked away, leaving him to stand there with his diaper sagging and legs splayed, helpless to do anything about the stinky, heavy diaper heâd been trapped in. He couldnât even fumble at the lock; without hands, the most he could do was paw at it, trying to pull it free, trying toâ
âWow, youâre still trying to touch yourself?â Monica asked, waltzing back in from his bedroom.
He turned a shade more red, if that was possible. âWhat? No, IââÂ
âYeah, I donât believe you, soâŠâ she said, before looking a bit guilty. âUhâŠabout the toy time out.âÂ
Kim knew what she was about to say, but still allowed the horror to creep over him. âWhat?âÂ
âI, uhâŠâ Monica rubbed at the back of her neck. âMay have accidentally set the timer to not be in minutes.âÂ
âNotâŠwhat?âÂ
âBut,â Monica said, looking more cheery. âBright side, I donât have to get anywhere near that for another thirteen hours. I donât really do dirty diaper changes normally, so thatâs likeâŠcool.âÂ
He was trapped anyway. Heâd done what she said, heâd filled his diaper right in front of her, choosing not to try and hold it, and he was trapped anyway.Â
âUgh,â Monica continued, lost in her own train of thought. âBut if youâre pawing at it all night, itâll get super gross, and youâre too dumb to try not toâŠâÂ
âI wonât!â Kimâs voice cracked on the lie, both of them knew heâd still try it.Â
Monica shook her head, then reached out and grabbed his wrist. âWhatever, itâs bedtime.â
âI still have ten minutes!âÂ
âWhoâs in charge here, exactly? Because I donât think the baby in a poopy diaper gets to make any grown-up decisions.âÂ
She pulled him towards his bed, then turned, once again, to fish in her âdiaper bagâ. This time she produced a pair of velcro cuffs with clips, the kind that anyone with fingers could easily undo.Â
Unfortunately, with the mittens, Kim was pretty helpless even when it came to a simple clip.Â
âLie down,â she said, moving to wrap one of the cuffs on the right side of his headboard, then mirroring the motion on the left. Kim hesitated, so she pushed him down, forcing one of his hands up to the clip. Snapping the mitten in place, she wiggled his wrist, seeing how much range of motion he had before locking his other wrist to the far side of the headboard.Â
Standing back, she admired her handiwork. âThereânow you wonât do anything yucky while youâre asleep.âÂ
Kim wriggled and kicked his legs, but all that accomplished was making his diaper squish between his thighs. He couldnât lower his hands below his neck, he could only lay there and squirm, trapped with his yucky diaper and his thoughts.Â
âWhat if thereâs an emergency?â he asked. âYou canât just leave me tied up all night!âÂ
âDonât worry about it, poopy butt,â Monica teased, removing one more device from her bagâa baby monitor, which she sat on his nightstand. âIâve got this. If you need something, Iâll hear you calling for it.â
He whimpered and gave the restraints one last tug, but with his wrists bound, hands trapped in mittens, and diaper locked securely around his waist, there was nothing else he could do.Â
âSleepytime, baby,â Monica said, turning to sashay out of his room, moving her hips side to side and swaying her body just to tease him a little more before she turned out the light and shut the door.Â
Kim wriggled, tugged at his restraints, and tried humping the air just to get a little sensation through the layers of abused diaper, but it wasnât enough. The modicum of friction he could get, squishing the front of his diaper around, was just enough to be teasing, aggravating, worse than nothing.
And, as he tried, he heard the baby monitor crackle to life.Â
âUgh, now that twerp is finally to bedâŠwhere were we?âÂ
Monicaâs voice, loud and clear, echoing through the baby monitor.Â
âDonât worry, he canât hear us,â Monica continued. âHeâs asleep in the other room. Did you like the pictures I sent?âÂ
She was flirting on the phone. Raising his head, Kim spoke towards the baby monitor. âMonica? Can youâŠI think you did something wrong.âÂ
She didnât reply. She couldnât hear him, even though he could hear her loud and clear. Sheâd mixed up the monitor, leaving the receiver in his room.Â
That meant he couldnât get her attention if he wanted it.
It also meant he could hear every moment of her flirting on the phone, the tug of a zipper, and then the totally unashamed, blissful groaning as Monica began to touch herself.Â
There was nothing Kim could do. His thoughts were eroded away, and the only sensations he could comprehend were desperation and degradation. Trying to hump at nothing only left him out of breath, panting, breathing in smelly air, and trying not to hump left him unable to think about anything except how badly he wanted to rip his hands free and start rubbing the front of his diaper. Monicaâs pleasure only sent that need to new heights, her every gasp and moan reminding him that she was getting the pleasure heâd been denied.Â
All Kim could hope was that, once this was over, she would be willing to babysit him again.Â

My fingers trembled as I hooked my thumbs inside the waistband of my pants, dropping them to the floor of my bedroom. I couldnât stop myself, I couldnât convince my hands to disobey the voice thatâd taken over, I could only strip one layer of clothing away at a time until I stood naked in my room.
Discomfort flooded me as my boxers fell to the floor, and I heard something like sympathy from the voice as she shared in my disquieting nudity. (Iâm sorry about this.)Â
âThen stop,â I pleaded.
(Iâm not that sorry. Itâs for your own good.)Â
I stepped to my bed, where the package of pink womenâs diapers sat waiting to be worn. Under the voiceâs control, I ripped open the plastic packaging and took out a diaper, turning it over in my hands. The plastic backing crinkled softly under my fingertips, soft and smooth and charged with static.Â
Unfolding the diaper out on the bed, I smoothed it with a strange sense of care, spreading it out into an hourglass as though I were laying out a blanket for a baby. I checked the tapes to ensure nothing had stuck to itself or folded over oddly, then I creased the padding down the middle to fluff it up.Â
(Youâre going to be a good baby,) the voice explained. (And youâre not going to argue. Understood?)Â
âIf anyone sees me like this, IâŠI donât even know what Iâll do.â I stammered. Positioning myself, I laid down on top of the diaper, adjusting it so that it sat evenly beneath my waist.Â
(You wonât do anything.)
âYouâre going to let me go, right?â I demanded, pushing up onto my elbows. The moment of resistance only lasted for a moment, and I flopped back down onto my back almost instantly so that I could focus on pulling the diaper up between my hips. Pulling it over my nakedness, I smoothed it out, then held things in place with one hand while I tugged on the tapes with the other. âYou canât justâŠcontrol me forever. I wonât let you!âÂ
(Ugh, I should have expected brat behavior. No, I wonât be here forever, justâŠstop squirming.)Â
The diaper sat around my hips, snug and secure, and I stared down at it, shame and uncertainty washing away any coherent thoughts.
I looked ridiculous. A grown man wearing a pink womenâs diaper, lying there on my bed like some stupid doll dressed up by my invisible puppeteer. âWhat do you want?âÂ
(I want whatâs best for you.)Â
âYouâre ruining my life!âÂ
My body stiffened and I sat rigidly upright, turning to face myself in the mirror tha sat atop my dresser. I could see fury in my eyes, and though I didnât speak, I saw my lips move in the reflection to match her voice. (Iâm ruining your life? Bullshit. Youâre ruining your life, thatâs why I have to do thisâso you donât waste it.)Â
Lips quivering, I tried to reply. âI donât understandââ
(No, you donât,) she interrupted. (Look at yourself. Right now.)Â
I couldnât disobey. Staring at myself in the mirror, I saw a disquieting portrait of my body: Awkward, ugly, unkempt. I didnât need the diaper to feel humiliated by my appearance, that only added emphatic shame to the rest of the look.Â
I sniffled, tears welling up in my eyes.Â
(Oh, goddammit. No, thisâŠno. Stop. Youâre going to like this, we just have to keep going.)Â
She used my hand to wipe at my eyes, but that was all the comfort I was allowed. She stood, and without another word, walked to my dresser.Â
At least I would get some clothes, something to cover upâŠ
I knelt.
âWaitââ
I reached for the bottom drawer, the one Iâd reserved for my girlfriend, Hannah.Â
The voice didnât waste time. Pulling the drawer open, she selected a pastel yellow sundress. I stood and let the dress hang in front of me, inspecting myself in the dresser mirror. I was taller than Hannah, but lanky. The dress would go over my shoulders, but it wouldnât fall much below my waist, barely functioning as more than a blouse, exposing the puffy pink diaper beneath for all to see.Â
âPlease,â I whimpered, but I couldnât stop myself. I pulled the dress over my head, arms sliding through the short sleeves, and the soft fabric fell down over my body.Â
Turning to face myself in the mirror again, I, b

Fuck
Fuck
I was crying again.Â
The voice in my head spoke up. (You get it now, right?)Â
âNo,â I said, but it was a lie, and I couldnât lie to myself.Â
(Youâve known since you watched To Wong Foo. Youâve known since you first saw Xena. Youâve known since you were old enough to know the difference between boys and girls.)Â
âIâm notâŠâÂ
(You are. This is you.)Â
âNoââ
(Yes. Look at yourself. This is you. You are a woman, and you need to stop acting like youâre not, or youâre going to waste the next twenty-four years of your life waiting for something to change. Itâs not going to change.)
I was on my knees, my reflection blurred by tears.Â
She wasnât wrong.
I couldnât lie to myself, not when the truth was staring me in the face.Â
(How do you feel?)
None of this made sense. It was like a fever dream, or a messed-up drug trip. I couldnât stop myself, I couldnât fight. My entire world had just collapsed like a house of cards, and now she was asking how I felt. âWhat the fuck is wrong with you?âÂ
(Oh, goddammit.) I wiped at my eyes and wrapped my arms around myself, squeezing in a close semblance of a hug. (Look, IâŠif I explain, you have to stop fighting me.)Â
âAm I fighting?â I demanded, incredulous.Â
(Yeah, butâŠlook. You donât know, you canât possibly know, but you asked for this. Once Iâm done, it will make more sense.)Â
âWhen did I ask for this?â I demanded, sniffling. âAnd what even are you? A ghost? Or am I just losing my mind?âÂ
(Shh. Just sit here for a minute.)Â
âFuck you!âÂ
I wanted to rip away, to throw a tantrum, to rip the dress off my body and deny that this had ever happened. I couldnât, I could only sit there, quietly holding myself, rocking gently back and forth.Â
(The more I tell you, the harder this is. I just need you to trust me. I love you. I want whatâs best for you.)Â
The tears sprang up again, choking sobs that I couldnât control any more than I could control my arms and legs.Â
(I wish I didnât have to rip the band-aid off like this, but there was no other way. The longer Iâm here, the harder it is to stay, and weâre too stupid to get subtle hints. You needed this.)Â
âI wish I didnât know. I wish you hadnât told me. IâŠI canât do this.âÂ
(You can. SaâŠHannah will be there to support you. Youâre a girl. Youâre a Little, too. This is how youâre supposed to be.)Â
âWhat the hell is a Little?âÂ
(Figure it out.)Â
I wiped at my face.Â
I wiped at my face. Not her. My arm moved under my own power.Â
Sniffling, I said, âThanks.âÂ
(I didnât do that.)Â
âThank you for letting me.âÂ
(...right.)Â
I looked down at myself, then up in the mirror again. Even with my hair around my shoulders, and the dress, and theâŠwomenâs underwearâŠI still didnât really look like a girl. It didnât look right. âI hate this.âÂ
(The makeup will help.)
Waiting for a moment for the voice to move me, I frowned. âAre you going toâŠ?â
(I canât make you act. YouâreâŠtoo far along, now. Youâll have to do it yourself.)Â
âSo I could rip this all off and walk away?â I asked. âYou wouldnât be able to stop me?âÂ
(PleaseâŠplease donât. We both need this.)Â
For a long moment I considered it, staring at my reflection. I could put this behind me, I could pretend that this was all a bad dream and never think about it again.Â
ButâŠI couldnât lie to myself.Â
âYouâre not real,â I said. âNot likeâŠreally real. Youâre just me, arenât you?âÂ
(Iâm you,) she replied. (But Iâm real.)Â
I scooped up the plastic bag from the pharmacy and poured its contents out on top of my dresser. I still didnât know how to apply most of it; whatever self-discovery Iâd undergone, being a woman didnât endow me with instinctual makeup knowledge.Â
I stared for a few moments, helpless, then asked, âWhichâŠwhat do I do here?âÂ
A twitch in my fingers compelled my hand forward.
âI thought you couldnât move me any more?âÂ
(I canât make you do anything. Iâm not gone.)Â
Hesitating, I relaxed and let the tension fall out of my arms. âThen, could you just show me?âÂ
The voice tone took on a hint of warmth, the first note of kindness I could recall from her. (Of course.)
Reaching out with steady hands, she guided me through the makeup products, slowly building shadows and altering my features. It felt like watching a sculptor in timelapse, carving out the face one pencil mark or brush stroke at a time.Â
With more deft control of my hands than I could have managed myself, she took out the hair ties and gave me a pair of loose pigtails, completing the look.Â
It wasâŠme.Â
Every part of the image in the mirror.Â
(Thereâs a lot more you can do, but youâll have to learn some of it for yourself.)
âWhy canât you help?â
(The more I change things, the harder it is to stay. Itâs like pulling out jenga blocks while standing on the tower, eventually itâll collapse out from under you.)Â
âYouâreâŠnot just a voice in my head, are you?â I asked. It felt stupid, and impossible, but if I was really just going crazy, there wouldnât be anyone to hear me ask the absurd question. âYouâreâŠmy future.âÂ
I felt something in my mind slip, and her voice sounded a little fainter. (Yes. And no, I canât tell you what itâs like. Iâd lose you immediately.)Â
âWhy were you so cruel?âÂ
(I had to do it this way, you needed the shock.)Â
I couldnât lie to myself. âThatâs not everything.âÂ
(It is,) sheâIâlied.Â
I wanted to interrogate her, to keep questioning, but the opportunity vanished when I heard the sound of gentle footsteps and jangling keys.Â
Hannah.Â
âOhââ I started. âWait, butââ
(Let her see,) the voice promised me. (Sheâll support you. I promise.)Â
I didnât believe her. It wasnât a matter of trust, but of simple impossibility. How could Hannah see me, like this, and do anything except reject me?Â
(Oh, andâŠ)
âWhat are youââ I started, but I didnât want Hannah to hear me talk to a voice in my head, so when my front door opened, I shut up.Â
Hannah called my name, and in that same moment, my bladder released, prompted forward by my future self. Warmth splashed into the diaper and spread between my thighs, quickly soaking the diaper, staining it visibly and obviously.Â
I turned, surprise and shame burning on my face, but even if I had time to cover myself up, I didnât have the capacity to move an inch. Hannahâs keys jangled as she set them in the bowl by the door, and she called out my name, feet creaking on the wooden floor.Â
âAre you in here?â she continued, swinging the bedroom door open to find me.Â
Eyes huge, wearing makeup and a diaper and one of Hannahâs own dresses, I stared, watching my girlfriend as she in turn saw me for the first time.Â

Half-dressed and still damp from the shower, I stared into my bathroom mirror and debated my appearance with myself. Iâd made a sport of that, volleying back and forth, never letting the ball drop until I was out of time and didnât have to decide anything.
My hair was the big sticking point. I couldnât decide how I wanted it cut, so it just continued to grow into a tangled mop. If I shaved it all off, Iâd just look like a flabbier Slim Shady, and I didnât trust myself to do any grooming or maintenance to make a more fashionable cut look decent. If I could have managed that, I could have managed to actually get to a barber and get it cut.Â
I hated how it looked long, but I hated the idea of cutting it short even more.Â
Besides, my strategy had worked. I only had about an hour before Hannah would arrive, that wasnât enough time to go out for a cut, now I just had to make myself look vaguely presentable for date night.Â
Turning away from the bathroom mirror, Iâ
(âcoming through any moment now.)
âWhat the fuck?â I blurted, stumbling back when I heard the feminine speaker. âWho said that?âÂ
(Oh, good, you can hear me.)Â
I spun like a top, looking for the source of the voice, though it didnât sound like it was in the room anywhereâshe was in my head. âHearâhow did you get into my apartment?âÂ
(Iâm not in your apartment. Look, I canât really explain, but I know some things you donât, and I need you to do what I say.)Â
I raised my arms and balled my hands into fists, trying to look tough. I could see my reflection still, and I knew that the act wouldnât fool anyone, but I had to try and keep up appearances, didnât I? âLook, lady, I donât know who you are, but I will mess you upââÂ
(Oh right, youâre in your martial arts phase. God, youâre annoying.)Â
I hesitated. Iâd been meaning to go take a karate lesson for months, but I hadnât told anyone about that. Was this the girl from the Blockbuster? She would at least know Iâd rented all those Jackie Chan movies, but why was she here?Â
(Look. Just do what I say, and this will all go smoother.)Â
âButââÂ
(Get your hairbrush. Weâre going to see what we can do with that ratâs nest of yours.)Â
I frowned. âI donât own a hairbrush.âÂ
(Yes you do. Bottom drawer, underneath the towels.)Â
My eyes widened. How did she know that?Â
(I know where you keep your stuff. If you keep fussingâ)
âGet out of my head!â I screamed and spun, rushing to leave the bathroom.Â
Before I could take two steps, I froze, body paralyzed mid-stride, and the voice piped up, (You asked for the hard way, then.)Â
I turned, rotating back towards my bathroom cabinet against my will. It wasnât like being puppeteered, exactly, but it felt like I was moving in a dream, unable to stop myself as I knelt to open the bottom drawer and take out the hairbrush Iâd hidden there.Â
Standing, I looked in the mirror, fingers shaking as I raised the cheap dollar store brush and, without wasting a second, began to pull it through my hair. It immediately caught on a tangle, but my hand refused to stop, pulling and tugging through the dark, tousled locks to straighten them out.
âOw!â I yelped, as the sting of pulling hair prickled down my scalp.
(Donât be such a baby,) the voice replied. (Or do, I donât care, but weâre fixing this either way.)
I movedâor they moved, it wasnât totally clearâquickly. Working one section at a time, I detangled my hair, pulling it straight and smooth.Â
With every tug of the brush I winced, but my hands continued to work of their own volition until my hair hung down to my shoulders in a loose but even halo. I hadnât brushed it out in I-didnât-know-how-long, but it lookedâŠ
Different.
Not better, but longer. Almost girly. Maybe I could pass it off as Kurt Cobain-esque, if I had to, but this just emphasized that I needed to get it cut.Â
(Okay, thatâs a first step. I donât think you have any hair ties, so get your keys, weâre going out.)Â
I felt the pressure on my body slacken, momentarily able to move under my own power. âI donât have a car.âÂ
(Right, you donât even have your license yet, youâre such a passenger princess.)
âA what?âÂ
(Fine, the pharmacyâs not far. Weâll walk.)Â
Before I could object further, my legs began to move, compelled to start marching. I tried to fight, to grab onto the doorframe or dig in my heels, but my body moved like an automaton, ignoring all my efforts to make myself stop.Â
âWhat are you doing?â I demanded. âWho are you? What do you want?âÂ
(I canât tell you any of that.)
âHannah will be here soon, sheââ
(Weâll deal with⊠your date when they get here. You first.)
I had enough control to swallow on a dry throat, though thatâs about as far as my own impulses could get me. The force possessing my body retrieved my apartment key from the hook by the door and marched me down the stairs, off to buyâŠhair ties.Â
As I was made to stroll down the street. My block wasnât the most trafficked in the city, but nor was it abandoned, and I felt acutely aware of the fact that this voice had control over me. She could run me out into the street, or make me strip, or anything, and I couldnât stop her. âPlease, Iâll give you whatever you want.â
(Youâre going to,) she replied. (You just have to trust me here.)
Her walk had more confidence than mine, something I could feel in the subtle movement of my hips, in her posture, in the way she kept her head up. It felt like she was trying to strut my body out on a runway, to make sure everyone could see what she was doing.Â
She forced me into the pharmacy, and I darted my eyes back and forth, wondering if I could somehow get help. I could still talk, but what would I say? âHelp, Iâm being possessed?â I didnât even know if this was a ghost or a government experiment or just a psychotic break, how would I ask for help?Â
The voice grabbed a cart, then walked me up the hair care aisle and nabbed a pair of hair ties as well as three kinds of shampoo. (Youâre using this from now on, that forty-in-one garbage is not cutting it.)Â
âFrom now on?âÂ
(Shut up and listen. Haircare, skincare. If you donât do this now, youâll regret it later.) Moving down the aisle, she made me reach out and select a set of creams and another of moisturizers, and then she got to the makeup.
My heart began to beat faster. âWhat are you doing?âÂ
(Iâm not wasting time.)Â
Foundation, concealer, powders and creams and nonsense I didnât even know what to call. I never came down this aisle, it wasnât for boys, just standing here sent spikes of anxiety down my back.Â
The voice moved quickly. She knew my skin tone at a glance, apparently, because she didnât need to compare anything, she just selected what she needed and used my own hands to toss it into the shopping cart.Â
âIs that it?â I whimpered.Â
I shook my own head, and she replied, (Not even a little bit.)Â
Sashaying my hips between different shelves, she checked the different signs and turned into the aisle labeled âIncontinenceâ.Â
âHold up.â I managed to throw a hitch into my step, but that was the totality of my resistance. The voice in my head steered me towards the diapers, and I could do nothing to resist.Â
Moving with purpose, I scanned the available offerings and scoffed. (God, store diapers are awful. Youâll have to make do, I guess.)Â
âWhy are you buying diapers?â I hissed, struggling to keep my hands from reaching out for a pack of pink âheavy dutyâ diapers with a stylish woman modeling on the package. It felt like resisting the pull of an infinitely strong magnet, and the more I fought, the harder the force against me grew.Â
(Youâre not this stupid. Tell me you were never this stupid. You canât figure it out?)Â
âNo!â I blurted, loud enough that my shout echoed through the store. A passing shopper glanced down the aisle at me, and I could only blush as I held the package of diapers and stuck them in my cart while he stared.Â
(There, you threw your tantrum, now everybodyâs watching. Are you happy?)Â
âNo,â I repeated more quietly, as the voice made me deposit the diapers in my cart. After nabbing a package of wipes and a tube of powder, they steered me towards checkout.Â
I recognized the cashier by face, though not nameâhe was a bit on the old side, though not quite yet in the âgrandpaâ zone, and he beamed brightly when I rolled my cart up to his register. In return, I could only burn red, blushing until I thought my long locks of hair would catch fire.Â
He noticed the diapers, and I caught a sympathetic curl of his lips, but he didnât say anything as he stuffed the package into a thin shopping bag. Through the sheer plastic, the label, âAdult Incontinence Briefs - 24/7â shone through as plainly as if it were in neon, and I recalled the block-and-a-half between here and home.Â
âCan IâŠget an extra bag?â I asked sheepishly, and the voice even let me rub at the back of my neck.Â
He glanced up at me and smiled, in what Iâm sure was supposed to be a reassuring way. âHere, letâs do this.â Reaching beneath his counter, he took out a newspaper-print coupon page and tucked it into the bag, using one to cover each side of the diaper packaging. The top still poked out visibly, and his action had only called attention to the humiliating packaging.Â
It was about as useful asâŠ
(Thatâs as helpful as a tissue paper parachute,) the voice in my head thought, finishing the thought before I could complete it.Â
Shuddering at the realization she could hear my thoughts as well, I reached out and took the package from the cashier.Â
My dignity had been shattered in front of him, but at least heâd tried to be considerate. I mumbled a weak âthanksâ as I paid, then took my bags and began the trek home.Â
My hands trembled as I walked out onto the street, knowing what came next. ThisâŠvoice, whatever she was, hadnât been coy about her intentions. She wanted to march me home, put me in makeup, and make me wear a diaper.Â
And yetâŠI wasnât fighting her.Â
I told myself that fighting would be useless, that I couldnât resist.Â
I had a bad poker face, and I argued with myself too often to believe my own bullshit.Â
I was a moth, reaching out towards a candle flame. I knew it was going to burn, but some part of me refused to back away until Iâd touched it, because I had to know what it felt like.Â
Fiddling with my keys, I reentered my apartment building. A neighbor was checking her mail as I walked past, and I felt certain she could see the pink package of puffy diapers poking out from the shopping bag, but she didnât seem to react.Â
Once back in my home, I dropped the bag to the floor.Â
(Weâre getting you dressed,) the voice explained. (Itâs your choice whether we do this the easy way or the hard way.)Â
âWill you just tell me why youâre doing this?â I whispered.Â
I felt the pause in my mind, like a long sigh. (I guess I canât blame you for asking.)Â
âSo are you going to tell me?âÂ
(If you promise not to drag your feet.)Â
I didnât see that I had a choice one way or another, and I wanted answers. I had to know, to regain some sense of control. Besides, I needed to get out of this before Hannah arrived, and I couldnât do that by stalling. âI promise, then.âÂ
(Iâm making up for lost time, fixing things before itâs too late. Youâre going to thank me, someday.)Â
âThatâŠâ I began. âThat doesnât clear anything up.âÂ
(Too bad.)
âWe had a deal!âÂ
(Then I lied, because thatâs all Iâm telling you.) Forcing me to crouch, the voice and I picked up the bag of diapers. (It looks like weâre doing this the hard way.)Â

A part of Daniel wanted to stay in his room for the rest of the night so he could wallow a bit, but self pity wasnât going to fix anything, and heâd have to go out eventually.
After a particularly ick-inducing diaper change, and a shower for good measure, he worked up the courage to leave his room. He needed dinner, and he owed a few people an explanation.Â
The dining hall had, over two weeks, evolved with cliques and social groups. Some girls sat with their covens, some girls sat with their friends, some sat alone. The configurations werenât universal, and could change from meal to meal, but Daniel didnât bother to track the details of where anyone sat. What mattered were the six people he actually didnât hate.Â
Heâd timed it poorlyânobody else from his coven was there yet, so he just chose an open area with plenty of spare seats at the end of the table in hopes that his covenmates would find him.Â
Dinner options floated by on magical currents around the center of the long tables, and Daniel fished out a slice of pizza. He didnât feel all that hungry, but as he picked at it, his body remembered that it needed food, and his appetite began to return.
âHowdy, partner,â Jen drawled, sliding up right beside him at the long table. Returning to her normal voice, she added, âYâknow, because weâre potion partners, andââ
âI got it,â Daniel confirmed, nodding before she could stammer out a whole paragraph to explain the joke. âHowâve you been?âÂ
âAlright. I, uh, heard some gossip after Voxavin, though, did you actually have an acciââ
Daniel raised a hand and shook his head. âPlease donât finish that sentence.âÂ
âSorry.â Glancing around to ensure nobody was listening in, she added, âBut, did you? Was it Rachel again, like last time?â
Sighing, Daniel nodded. âI can explain, but before I do, I need you to promise youâll listen to me and not interfere, okay?â
âSure, I guess. Interfere with what?âÂ
Daniel sighed, but there was no point keeping it a secret from Jen. âI wasââ
âDanny!â Cassie called, waving a hand to get his attention.Â
He looked up, surprised to see three of his covenmates coming in from one of the many entrance doors to the hall. He waved back, while Jen shot a look between him and them.
âHow come she gets to call you Danny?â Jen asked, though her light tone implied she didnât actually feel insulted by the double standard.
âShe doesnât.â Daniel rolled his eyes and scooted to the side, making room for his friends. Mathilde pulled up to the end of the table, while Cassie took the seat next to him and Hazel sat by Jen.Â
âAre you okay?â Cassie asked.Â
âWe told the coach you had food poisoning and thatâs why you had to leave,â Hazel added. âSo you wouldnât barf all over the court.âÂ
âWas that it? Just food poisoning?â Cassie asked, scooting up beside him.
Daniel pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. âOkay, I guess I only have to explain this once, butââ
âYou all have to swear to secrecy,â Jen interrupted. âYou canât tell anyone about this.âÂ
He quirked an eyebrow at her. âYou donât even know what it is, Jen.â
âYeah, but, wellâI know itâs a secret.âÂ
âOkay, wellâŠyeah.â Looking between his coven mates, he said, âThis stays between us. I donât want anyone trying to fix it, or get anyone in trouble for it, or reporting it to the faculty, okay?â
They all nodded, and Hazel emphasized her promise with a thumbs up as she selected a plate of spaghetti from the drifting lunch options.Â
âRachel cursed me,â he explained. âI mouthed off to her in the potions lab, and she retaliated by cursing me with a potion that makes me incontinent. She knows Iâm not very good at reading auras or tracing power, so she used a curse Iâm not good enough to take apart myself, and set it up with a booby trap so if anyone else tries to fix it, it becomes permanent.âÂ
âCanât the faculty help?â Cassie asked. âI bet if weââ
âCassie, take a chill pill,â Hazel interrupted. âHe just made us promise not to get help.âÂ
Eyes widening, Cassieâs sympathy poured through in her sorry expression. âButââÂ
âBut, nothin. Sure the faculty could probably help, whatever,â Hazel finished. âItâs his choice to make.â
âI donât know if Rachelâs good enough to make a hex thatâs really permanent,â Mathilde added. âSheâs good, but sheâs not that good.â
âYouâre picking up the magic pretty fast, anyway,â Jen interjected. âI bet youâll know how to fix it yourself in no time.âÂ
Daniel shook his head. âI donât need to, I just have to wait. If I can go without casting spells for two weeks, the curse will fade away on its own. I just have to stick it out until the solstice break.âÂ
âWell, weâll keep practicing together,â Jen said. âMaybe youâll surprise yourself and fix it pretty soon anyway.âÂ
He couldnât help but crack a smile. âYeah, maybe.âÂ
âUntil thenâIâll just need to dip back to my dorm a lot more, and maybe invest in really long skirts.â He sighed and shook his head. âIt sucks, I hate it, I would appreciate if everyone else could just act like it isnât happening, not say anything, and let me pretend Iâve still got a bit of dignity left.â
âYou really shouldnât be embarrassed,â Cassie assured him. âItâs not your fault.âÂ
âCassie, itâs a guy thing,â he said. âYou wouldnât get it, but guys arenât supposed to just take this stuff lying down.âÂ
âI get it.â Cassie moved to pat him on the shoulder, a gentle reassurance through touch. âBut just because you feel a certain wayââ
âNo, you donât, you couldnât,â he insisted, scooting a bit away from her. âCan we just drop this? I told you whatâs going on, I donât want you to try and undo the curse.âÂ
Cassie floundered for a moment, hand raised but frozen, and after an uncertain moment she lowered her hand and scooted away to give him more space.Â
âOath of silence,â Mathilde promised. âCan we tell the rest of the coven? Or do you want to?â
âIâll tell them next time I see them,â he said. âAnywayâitâs pizza night, and Iâm starving.â
âI have a thought,â Jen said. âJust one quick thing, then oath of silence, okay?â
Daniel closed his eyes and exhaled through his nose. There was no shutting Jen upâheâd hear it now, or later, so he may as well hear it now. âWhat is it?âÂ
âI bet we could get an enchantedâŠI donât know. Some kind of charm? To hide the smell,â she said. âOh, and I know you donât carry a purse, but they make a couple that have really good pocket dimensionsâyou could get a little clutch as a diaper bag so you donât have to run back to your room all the time.â
âA charm would have to be turned off during voxavin,â Hazel interjected. âUnless itâs a medical aid, they donât allow magical items to be used since it could be cheating.âÂ
âSure, but outside of it, itâd be pretty nice,â Jen said.Â
Daniel raised a hand to interrupt them. âIâm not carrying a purse, I still have a bit of a man card left and Iâm not going to burn itâand besides, I donât have anywhere to change outside of my room anyway.â Lowering his hand, he added, âBut the charmâs a good idea.âÂ
âAnd maybe something to let you know when youâre wet?â Jen added. âLike a sensor, orââ
âI can still tell,â Daniel objected, shaking his head. For a concerned moment, he felt a flash of panic, but after shifting side to side with no surprise squelching, he confirmed that the diaper between his legs still felt dry. âOkay, oath of silence, letâs quit while weâre ahead.âÂ
âIt occurs to me, we need to figure out the locker room situation if weâre going to try out as a team,â Mathilde said. âSince you mentioned the whole bathroom thingâwe also only have girlâs locker rooms. They canât expect you to go all the way back to the dorms in the middle of a tournament, can they?â
âIâm sure Rachel would prefer it if I had to fly back to New York between games,â Daniel said. âBut barring thatâyeah, itâs a good question to raise. Maybe we can talk to Blackburn about it? She doesnât seem to hate me.âÂ
âGood idea, we can talk to her after class tomorrow.âÂ
âSpeaking of,â Mathilde added, âIf anyone needs help with the diagrams she asked us to draw out, I can help. We did this last year, I remember most of the material, itâs tricky but I can help get through it.â
Daniel tilted his head. âItâs just energy maps, whatâs the issue?â Â
Hazel rolled her eyes. âYeah, itâs not an issue for the egghead. We know youâre good at the written stuff, Daniel, no need to showboat.âÂ
They laughed and fell back to eating, making occasional conversation between slices of pizza, and Daniel felt himself relaxing. This wouldnât be so bad. With a charm like Jen had suggested, and some caution, he could get through this with minimal loss of dignity.Â
When he was done eating, he pushed up to his feet. âIâve got homework, and some reading I need to do in the library. Catch you all later.âÂ
After a round of goodbyes, he walked away, navigating out of the dining hall and towards the library.Â
Heâd only made it thirty feet or so when he heard footsteps rushing up behind him and turned to see Cassie, jogging to catch up. âDanny, wait.âÂ
He turned, stopping in the corridor to give her a chance to catch up. âSomething wrong?â
âNo, butâŠI wanted to talk. Not around the other girls,â Cassie explained.Â
Daniel waited, uncertain where this was going. âWhatâs up?â
âItâs justâŠyouâve got a lot going on right now.â Cassie crossed her arms over her chest. âAnd you probably feel like you need to show everyone how manly you are, and all that, but..you know, you donât have to be âthe guyâ.âÂ
Daniel glowered, though he tried not to direct it at Cassie too overtly. âOkay? But Iâm not trying to justâŠact manly, orâŠugh. This isnât how guys talk about their feelings, Cassie.âÂ
She looked at him with an expression of urgency that he couldnât place. Daniel worried briefly that there was a spider on his shoulder and she didnât want to startle him by pointing it out, but she only said, âI know. Thatâs my point.âÂ
He tilted his head, trying to follow what she was saying. âIâm really confused right now.âÂ
âYeah, and thatâs okay. Being confused is fine, Danny. Sometimes it takes a while to figure this stuff out, I just wanted you to knowâŠâ she looked away for a moment, before turning to face him with a warm, genuine smile that radiated reassurance. âSome of us have been there, and weâre your friends, even if things change.âÂ
Daniel blinked in utter bewilderment. âCassieâŠIâŠâÂ
His coven mate put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. âI donât want to pressure you into anything, just think about it, okay?âÂ
âOâŠkay?â He had no clue what she wanted him to think about, but given how cryptic she was acting, he didnât think that asking would help.Â
Without warningâor, at least, without any warning Daniel had seenâshe pulled him into a tight hug, squeezing as though she were trying to comfort him against bad news. Daniel just froze up, eventually slipping his arms around her to return the embrace, though he couldnât for the life of him figure out why she had chosen to hug him.Â
âGo,â she said, once she pulled away. âDo your studying, sorry if I freaked you.âÂ
âNo, uh, youâre fine. Thanks.â He smiled, trying not to look as dumb and oblivious as he felt.Â
Cassie turned and walked away, humming a cheery tune to herself.
Daniel stared after her. âWhat the hell is she on about?âÂ
There was nothing for itâhe had reading to do.Â
He wanted to learn about ghosts.Â
...
...what's that about?

Melody shifted from foot to foot as the full heat of five surprised stares turned to face her. Sheâd just asked to borrow a diaper and, naturally, that raised some questions.Â
Grace was a good friend. The best friend, even. She cut through the anticipation and defused it in an instant. âFor your book, right?âÂ
âYeah.â Melody relaxed and flashed a smirk. âI need something to threaten Skip with. We wonât use it, but Iâm gonna do the whole, âoooh, if you break during the scene Iâll have to punish youâ routine and we figured this would be a good way to do that.âÂ
âGimme just a sec, Iâll go grab one,â Pearce announced, moving Grace gently to the side so he could get up. Standing, he walked past Melody to get to the stairs.Â
It was a subtle reminder that even if the diapers were worn by Grace, Pearce was the one who actually put them on her, and Graceâs cheeks turned pink as he left, though the blush was hard to notice as she spread herself across the couch, stretching her arms and legs to fully lie down.Â
âSo howâs this book work, exactly?â the guy on the couch next to Brains asked. Melody very rarely concerned herself with remembering the names of partners, though sheâd seen this guy enough that she felt she should remember him. âIs it autobiographical?â
(Carter? I think it was Carter.)Â
âWe donât want to be fake experts,â Melody explained. âSo weâre acting out scenesânothing too graphic, but you wouldnât write a boy scout manual without tying a few knots.âÂ
âOr a bondage manual,â Carter replied, picking up the bait.Â
Melody grinnedâshe liked this guy, well enough. If Brains wasnât dating him, he might even be worth a quick lay. âEither way, you want to be prepared.âÂ
Pearce returned down the stairs and passed a pink-purple bunny print diaper to Melody, turning it over in his hands. âYou know how to put one of these on someone?â
âWeâre not actually going to use it,â Melody repeated. âI can probably give it back later.âÂ
âOkay, cool.â He walked back to Grace and gestured for her to move.Â
She sat up, and he took his place at the end of the couch, though she only kept her head up for just long enough that he could get in place before she laid back down and put her head in his lap. Once nestled in place, she took his arm, moving it like a ouija board ring over to her head.
Pearce chuckled. âYou know, if you want me to pet your hair, you can just ask.â
Grace nodded and smiled precociously. âHeadpats, please.âÂ
He complied, eliciting a gentle purr from his paramore. âYou know this isnât going to delay bedtime.â
âYou two are so sweet, itâs gross.â Melody rolled her eyes and turned, sauntering back up the stairs.Â
Skip was right where sheâd left themâwhich made sense, since theyâd have to undo quite a few knots in order to go anywhere else.Â
âHere it is.â Melody held up the diaper, squeezing it to make the plastic backing crinkle. âIf you disobey, you have to wear a diaper.â
âŠ
Skip blinked, gaze locked on the thick bunny-print garment in Melodyâs hand, processing whatâd happened in the two minutes theyâd been waiting. âYou got that from Grace?â
âWell I didnât have one in my closetâ Melody pointed out. âWait, is it too scary?â
âWhat? No.â Skip shook their head. âJustâitâs weird you got everyone else involved.â
âI didnât get them involved, I just borrowed a diaper.â Melody dismissed the subject, moving forward without further room for questioning. âBesidesâitâs just for the scene, for a threat. You wonât need to wear it.âÂ
âSure, whatever.â Skip instinctively tried to sit up, though the ropes on their legs and waist made that difficult, especially without letting go of the headboard, so they just wriggled instead. âSoâI do good, you buy me dinner. I do bad, I have to wear a diaper. Whereâs dinner?âÂ
âYou pick, just donât break the bank,â Melody replied. âIs that all fair to you?â
âWell, like you saidâitâs just a fake threat. Iâll take free dinner anytime.â Skip wasnât above exploiting the situation, but they didnât want to pretend they were doing anything else. âAt least make sure to save your receipt, thisâll be a work dinner.âÂ
âYouâre such a romantic. You want to get this plotted out?âÂ
âThat depends.â Skip glanced up at their hands, still holding onto the headboard. âCan I let go now?âÂ
Melody snorted. âIâm half tempted to make you stay there while we plan the scene.âÂ
Okay, screw this. Skip released the headboard and sat up, ensuring Melody could see their obvious eyeroll. âThis was a claustrophobia test, and we already determined bondage wonât make me claustrophobic. Help me with the ropes?âÂ
Sitting on the side of the bed, Melody began undoing knots, working to release their legs. âSo, hereâs what I was thinkingâŠâÂ
âŠ
I have the hardpoint mounted in my ceiling. I think itâs time to use it.
Skip stood to the side, watching with a bemused smirk as Melody stood on tip-toe and strained to feed the rope through the eye of an O-bolt in the ceiling, pushing it forward like an enormous thread through a needle. âDo you want help with that? I could reach it more easily than you.âÂ
Melody shook her head. âI do this. You just obey.âÂ
Youâll have to be patient, and perfectly obedient, moving as I tell you.Â
âArm.â Melody extended an expectant hand, and Skip moved to comply with the demand, lifting their right arm for her to take.Â
Slowly and precisely, Melody wound the rope around their wrist, pulling Skipâs sleeve up to their elbow so that the snug cord pulled against their skin. One loop, then two to make a cuff, before braiding the rope down Skipâs forearm until it went almost to their elbow. The end of the rope ran up, through the hardpoint, and then dangled slack to the floor.Â
âKeep your arm raised,â Melody instructed, moving to take Skipâs other arm and match the knots. âThatâs one. How are you feeling?âÂ
Skip dodged a sincere answer by pointing out a few basic facts. âYou said this would take a while, Iâm not rushing.âÂ
Arenât you going to be tying me up? I wonât be able to moveâwhatâs the point of âpatient obedienceâ?
Have you ever tried to tie someone up while they struggle? You canât get pretty knots.Â
Okay, but once Iâm all trussed?Â
Itâs a simulation of helplessness. Itâs not real. You can struggle when I tell you, but this isnât an escape scene, and if you really want to get out, youâre going to be able to.
Skipâs wrists and ankles were all bound, ropes like marionette string tying them to the ceiling. To finish it off, Melody wound a rope around their waist, not secured to anything except itself. Skip knew she was tying a mount point in the back, a place to loop the other four ropes through, but when they tried to look over their shoulder to watch, Melody cleared her throat and shook her head.
âDonât squirm.â
âIâm not squirming, Iâm trying to see.âÂ
Melody stopped what she was doing and looked at Skip with a cocked eyebrow. âAre you going to do as I say, or are you going to argue? Iâm sure Grace wonât complain if she doesnât get her diaper back.â
âThatâsââ Skip exhaled through puffed lips and looked straight ahead. âFine.âÂ
âThere you go.â Finishing her knot, Melody stood back in satisfaction. âI think youâre ready.â
Once I have you tied up, Iâll have you move, and once youâre in the pose I want, Iâll secure it in place.
And then what?
And then youâll wait until I want to pose you differently.Â
âRaise your right leg,â Melody instructed, guiding their body with her hands to help move Skip where she wanted them to go.Â
Skip balanced on one foot, their knee bent and their leg raised until their foot was parallel to their thigh. It took effort to stay upright, though the tug of the rope provided some extra support to their stanceâthey had to concentrate, but didnât feel like they were on the brink of toppling.Â
âGive me your hand,â Melody continued, pulling their right hand down so that their wrist and ankle were touching. In a slightly out-of-character moment, she commented, âDoes this feel like itâs stretching you too much? Any discomfort?âÂ
Skip could feel a slight burn in their hamstrings, but they didnât want to admit any weakness, so they just lied. âIâm fine.â
âGood. Youâre pretty flexible,â Melody commented, looping the rope on Skipâs wrist around their ankle, so that the two were bound together. Finally, she took the two ropes that correlated to those limbs and secured them to the loop on the back of their waist, so that Skip couldnât lower their leg or raise their arm away. âAre you comfortable?â
âNothing hurts, and my circulation is fine,â Skip said, shifting their left foot, shuffling from ball to heel to keep their balance.
âBut your attention is taken up by holding this position?â Melody inquired.
âObviously.â
âSo, if we were having sex, Iâd use this time to exploit that attention.â Melody reached down and placed a hand against Skipâs thigh, her touch resonating through Skipâs sweatpants. âYou wouldnât be able to pull away from me, and you wouldnât be able to resist, Iâd be free to touch you.âÂ
âThat makes sense.â Skip nodded, glancing down at their foot to adjust their balance a little better. âWhat happens if I canât support my weight? If someone were to slip and fall while like this, couldnât that fuck up their ankle or wrist?â
Melody looked at them and raised an eyebrow. âAre you worried?â Â
âIâm worried we might be teaching something dangerous.â
âThe loop on your waist is a highway knot,â Melody explained. âIf it takes too much tension, itâll pull free, so youâd just fall over. Like I saidâdonât squirm.âÂ
Skip took a deep breath, maintaining their balance. Focused on staying upright, focused on not pulling too hard, focused on maintaining their composure. Melody really could do anything to them, at least in the short term, and any attempts they made to stop her would first have to involve falling down and trying to get free of the ropes.
âBesides,â Melody pointed out, squeezing her hand slightly into Skipâs thigh. âIâm right here. If you fell, Iâd catch you.â
Resisting discomfort with a veneer of cynicism, Skip snorted, earning a sharp frown from Melody.
âWhat?â
âItâs hard to imagine how youâd catch someone you were actively fucking,â Skip pointed out. âCould you really grab a partner mid-fall if youâre in the middle of sucking them off?âÂ
Melodyâs eyes narrowed, but she nodded. âI take my partnersâ safety very seriously. I wouldnât be so distracted that I would forget if you were in peril.âÂ
âYouâre the expert.â
âYeah.â Melody let go of Skipâs thigh and walked behind them, outside their field of view. âYouâd also be exposed to various sado-masochistic punishments. Your thighs and ass are always a good target, and right now, I know you canât wriggle away.âÂ
âI get it.â Skip pressed their lips into a line and nodded. âYouâve got your partner in a compromised position, anything you do is more intense for them.âÂ
âIf I had long fingernails, I could scratch your back, too,â Melody continued, resting a hand on the back of their hoodie. âOr maybe Iâd just tickle youâIâve met a few people who are into that. Thatâs one way to leave you gasping, before any sexual contact.â
Skip set their jaw and shook their head. Being unable to see Melody made them feel vulnerable, beyond what simply being tied up and helpless had done. âOkay, Melody, Iâm following all this.âÂ
Melody hesitated, fingers twitching against Skipâs upper back. âAre you okay, Skip?âÂ
âIâm fine.â
âYou donât seem fine. You seem tense,â Melody said. âDo you need to safeword?âÂ
âIâm fine,â Skip repeated the lie, daring Melody to call them out on it. âIâm just focused on balancing, like you saidâmy attention is split.âÂ
âIf itâs too hardââ
(Fuck this.)Â
Jerking their arm down, Skip broke the tension, yanking on the knot until it broke. As Melody had promised, the rope went slack, allowing their leg to fall and giving them the freedom to spin and face their ersatz dominant. âI said Iâm fine, Melody. Do you think I was lying?â
Melody stared back at them, eyebrows raised sympathetically. âOkay, hold on. Letâs get you untied, and we can take a breath.â She didnât start working at the knotsâinstead, she crossed to her nightstand and scooped up the rope cutter sheâd left there.Â
Skip glowered and shook their head. âNo, we can keep this going, I just need you to listen when I tell you how Iâm feeling.âÂ
âSkip, you forgot to safeword, you broke the knot, and you really seem kinda freaked. If you need to communicate something like that, you safe word. Say âYellowâ and we can talk. You just seemed overwhelmed, andââÂ
Yanking at the ropes on their wrist, Skip began pulling the knots free themselves. âI didnât forget to safeword.âÂ
âSo you just ruined the scene on purpose?â Melody asked, stepping in to help. Now that it was obvious Skip wasnât in the midst of a panic, she didnât cut the ropes, but she untied them with deft speed than Skip couldnât compete with. âWhy?âÂ
Skip didnât have a good answer. They had forgotten to safeword, they had panicked, but there was no chance in a million years that they would admit as much. They needed a story that could explain their behavior, but that would thread the needle between believability and not making them look like too much of an asshole. âBecauseâŠIâŠâ (What would she believe?) âI donât want to just play along. I want to know if youâre actually committing to the bit.âÂ
Melody didnât get it. In the middle of kneeling to get the ropes on Skipâs ankles, she froze and asked, âWhat?âÂ
âYou werenât listening to me,â Skip continued, their mouth moving ahead of their head as they continued the lie. âYou said you wanted me off balance and focused on staying upright, then you kept breaking kayfabe to ask if I was okay. I didnât safe word because I was fine, you didnât safe word becauseâI donât know why.âÂ
âI was worried about you,â Melody insisted, standing upright to get on Skipâs level.Â
âYouâre not following your own rules,â Skip shot back, cementing the deception, the excuse, the facade that hid how they really felt. âSo I donât think youâre treating this like itâs real, so why should I?â
Brow furrowing, Melody asked, âWhat are you saying? You want to quit this project?âÂ
(Yes.) âNo.â Skip shook their head and stared Melody down, daring her with their words as they came to the conclusion of their tightrope of deception. âI broke the rules. I balked out of the scene. So, if you actually are doing this, then punish me.âÂ
...
Oooh, things are heating up! Diapers are imminent!

For Research Purposes, Chapter 8: Movie Night (AB/DL)
Chapter 8: Movie Night
âOh, come on,â Brains objected, throwing a piece of popcorn at the TV.Â
âThatâs another monologue about conservation, drink.â Grace tittered, lifting the nipple of her baby bottle to her lips and taking a long suckle of beer. Snuggled up against Pearce on the loveseat, sheâd dressed modestly, which mostly meant that her diaper was covered by a pair of shortalls. Brainsâ new beau was aware of and okay with the ageplay in their household, but they followed general social rules: No exposed underwear around company.Â
Connor chuckled, wrapping his arm a little more tightly around Brainsâ waist. âI was promised shlock and murder birds, not moral grandstanding.âÂ
Brains took a drink of his beer as well, but shook his head. âIf there hasnât been enough shlock for you, I donât know what to tell you. This is how Movie Night goes.â
âDo you ever watchâŠgood movies?â Connor inquired, raising an eyebrow.
Beaming, Brains declared, âNot at Movie Night.âÂ
While they watched the travesty of filmmaking play out on screen, Melody came down, wearing a sweaty top and looking winded. She moved right through the living room and to the kitchen, returning a moment later with two tall glasses of water.Â
âEvening, Mels,â Grace said, waving.
âEvening, G,â Melody replied, nodding since both her hands were full. She took a moment to inspect the TV that was currently playing, then made a sour face. âWhatâŠis this?âÂ
Shrugging, Melody returned upstairs, leaving the four of them downstairs.
Brains watched her go, then asked, âSoooâŠdo we need to get another bet going?âÂ
âOn what, exactly?â Pearce asked.
âWhen you two started your whole thing,â Brains gestured to the two of them with his beer. âWe had a bet going on whether youâd get together. Round two, with Melody and Skip?â
âTheyâre not going to get âtogetherâ,â Grace chimed in, shaking her head. âItâs Skip.â
Looking between them, Connor raised his eyebrows. âBack up, new guy here. Whatâs the situation with Skip?âÂ
âTheyâre ace,â Grace summarized. âLike, super ace. The platonic ideal of asexuality.âÂ
Brains snickered, repeating, âPlatonic.âÂ
âThanks, I hoped youâd get that,â Grace added. âPoint isâtheyâre not going to end up in a relationship.âÂ
âYou can be ace and still be in a relationship,â Connor pointed out.Â
âOkay, well, counterpoint,â Pearce added. âItâs Melody. Maybe you could be in a relationship with someone who doesnât want sex, but not Melody.â
Giggling, Grace added, âMelodyâs responsible for more losses of virginity than your typical prom night.âÂ
âCultists hate her,â Brains added. When he got three curious looks, he explained, âBecause they canât find enough virgins to sacrifice.â
Connor snorted. âOkay, I see your point. Water and oil. Why make the bet at all, then?âÂ
âBecause theyâre having sex right now,â Brains said.Â
Connor blinked. âHold upââ
âTheyâre not having sex,â Grace interrupted. âTheyâre doing BDSM. OrâŠpracticing it? They are BDSM-ing?âÂ
ââEngaged in BDSMâ?â Pearce suggested.Â
Brains snickered. âTheyâre tied up with their current engagement.âÂ
âUgh, that was awful, BD-SMH,â Connor said, rolling his eyes even as he grinned along with the joke.Â
âTheyâre writing a book,â Grace added. âOr, Melodyâs writing a book, Skip is editing and supervising? I think? But theyâre not having sex, Melody is demonstrating various techniques, like rope restraints and stuff.â
âWeird, okay.â Connor shrugged.
âI thought you liked weird,â Brains said, looking at his boyfriend pleadingly.
âI like weird,â Connor promised, giving Brains a kiss on the forehead.Â
âSpeaking of, what the hell is he doing?â Grace asked, pointing at the TV. âAre theyâŠfishing? Why are they fishing?âÂ
âŠ
âHowâs that feeling for you?â Melody asked, shutting the door behind her as she returned to her bedroom.Â
Skip lay on her bed, trussed from the chest down like the victim of a macrame attack. Rope wound about their waist and legs over a light tee and sweatpants, attached to anchor points on the side of the bedframe and the posts by their feet, so that they were pulled in all directions and couldnât easily move. Their hands held onto the headboard, and though their arms werenât tied to anything and they could let go and untie themselves at any time, the rules of the scene dictated that they could not move. In case of emergencies, a rope cutter sat on the nightstand just by the bed, ready to free Skip at a momentâs notice should there be a safety issue.Â
âA little itchy,â Skip admitted, twitching their nose.Â
Setting aside both glasses of water, Melody reached for Skipâs face, hesitating. âWhere?â
âKind of, sides of my nose,â Skip said. Melody scratched gently with her pinkie nail, relieving the itch, and Skip exhaled in relief. âThanks.â
âI got that water,â Melody added.Â
âShould I just let go for a moment?â Skip asked, turning their head and lifting their body as much as they could given the restraints, which was only a couple inches.Â
âNo, just tilt your head forward.â Melody lifted the glass, holding it gently up to Skipâs parted lips. They drank slowly, and Melody made sure not to overwhelm them, tipping the glass a fraction of a degree at a time until Skip pulled away and shook their head.
âThanks.â
âHow are you feeling?â Melody asked, looking them up and down.
Skip pursed their lips, lifting their head to look over their body as well. They couldnât raise their hand, but they made a fist and gave a static thumbs up. âNo claustrophobia, no panic attacks. Iâm good with bondage.âÂ
âWant to figure out a proper scene to do, then?â
Skip shrugged, though their range of motion was only enough to wiggle their shoulders a bit. âI guess? But I feel like I want to escalateâaside from just doing rope instead of paper. Doing the same scene again would be a waste of time.âÂ
Melody tilted her head and shrugged. âYeah, itâs easy to fall into a rut. What were you thinking in terms of escalation?â
âWellâlast time, I knew you werenât going to really do anything bad to me. I just had to act like it, but real kink has real punishments.âÂ
Melody frowned. ââRealâ is a bit subjective there, butâŠokay. So you want me to actually delete something if you disobey?â
âNo, thatâsâŠno. Iâd rather do something else.â Skip chuckled nervously. âWeirdly, it needs to be milder, so Iâm more scared of it actually happening.â
âIâm listening, if you had another idea.â
âI was hoping you would. I meanâŠthereâs the âSMâ part of âBDSMâ, but we shouldnât do that.â
Melody frowned down at their friend and raised an eyebrow. âYou donât want to try that? I mean, itâs fine if you donât, Iâd just assumedââ
âI donât want to mix and match,â Skip cut in, shaking their head. âWeâre doing this scientifically, that means adding one element at a time. A rope scene plus sadism would be adding two elements at once.âÂ
âOkay, yeah, I see your point.â Melody leaned back against the wall. âI mean, thereâs a few different ways we can play it. We already tried, âYouâre helpless, so you have to do what I say or Iâll punish youâ, but thereâs also, âYouâre helpless, so I can punish you and you canât stop meâ, and, âYouâre helpless, so I can reward you and you canât stop me.â âYouâre helpless, so I can use youâ is a classic, too, but I donât know what Iâd use you for.â
âI want to stick with the first one for now.â Skip leaned back, thinking for a long moment. âLike I said beforeâdonât change a bunch of variables at once.â
âOkay.â Melody tapped a finger to her lips, looking down at Skip. âDinner?âÂ
âHmm?â
âYou do good, I buy you dinner,â Melody clarified.Â
âWhat, and if I do bad, I buy you dinner?â Skip asked. âI feel like if we both have money on the line, that creates kind of a perverse incentive. Eh, no pun intended.âÂ
âOkay, fair point.â Melody sat down on end of the bed, by Skipâs trussed up legs. âI mean, itâs fine for me, I have discounts from a few places I deliver for that I can cash in, but unless weâre writing a section on findomming, âyou didnât do good enough so pay meâ doesnât feel like a good punishment anyway.âÂ
âYeahâŠâ Skip mused. âBleh, Findomming. I swear that started out as a way to scam horny dudes out of their money.âÂ
Meldy snickered. ââScamming horny dudes out of their moneyâ is the oldest profession in the world.âÂ
âOkay, but seriously. Whatâs something unpleasant, but that wonât have a lasting impact? âGet it over with and be doneâ kind of unpleasant.âÂ
âNormally weâd make the punishment sex related,â Melody pointed out, resting a hand on Skipâs knee. âFor you, would it be punishment to make you have an orgasm?âÂ
Skip rolled their eyes and dismissed the comment. âThatâs like having it be a punishment to make me go to the bathroom. Itâs just a bodily function. I donât want that, but itâs not a strong incentive, yâknow?âÂ
âHuh, okay.â Melody smirked. âOkay, I have an idea for a punishment.â
âWhat is it?â Skip asked.
Melodyâs smirk grew, spreading across her face into a wicked grin. âOh, youâre going to hate it.â
Leaning their head forward, Skip demanded, âWhat is it?âÂ
âŠ
Grace lifted her head from Pearceâs lap, yawning a little bit. The movie was over, and it was getting close to time for her to get ready for bed.Â
âDo you need a change, sweetie?â Pearce asked.
She turned bright red, looking over at Brainsâ boyfriend. âWe have company!âÂ
âWell?â he inquired.Â
Her blush burned, but she nodded. âYes.â
âYes?â
âYes, daddy.â She squirmed, but smiled, resting her head back down again. âBut oh no, you canât get up, Iâm in your lap.âÂ
Connor exhaled in a half laugh, then leaned over to give Brains a kiss on the cheek. âYour friends are cute.âÂ
Brainsâ blush was almost as bright as Graceâs.Â
While they were all snuggling their respective partners, Melody came down the stairs once again, looking right over at Grace. âHey, favor.âÂ
Grace sat up right away, focusing a bit. âOh, of course. What is it?âÂ
Melody glanced over her shoulder, up the stairs, then back at her friend. âCan I borrow a diaper?âÂ
...

My Subs Have Unionized, Chapter Two: Nothing to Gain But Our Chains (AB/DL)
Lockout
John felt a little nauseous as he walked out of his bedroom. Heâd been all ready to get a good nightâs rest, but now it looked like that would be impossible.
Itâd been fourteen hours since they dropped their demands, and Daddy hadnât shown any signs of cracking so far. Heâd done some work in his shop, run a couple errands, and never once did he come to beg for their submission.Â
That alone was starting to get to him, but when John got undressed for the night and found his sleeping cageâa welded steel box Daddy had built himselfâlocked and sealed, the shock nearly caused him to give up then and there.Â
He found Candy brushing her teeth, using a pink princess-printed toothbrush and toothpaste that smelled like bubblegum. âIâve got an issue,â he said, speaking in low, urgent tones. âDaddy locked my cage.âÂ
Glancing at him, Candy raised an eyebrow, toothpaste foam dribbling from her mouth as she asked, âWhassapobble?âÂ
âHuh?â
She spat in the sink and rinsed out her mouth before repeating the question. âI know we want him to leave it unlocked, but thatâs normal for now, isnât it?âÂ
âNo, no,â John clarified, dropping his voice as though he might be overheard. âHe locked me out. With a padlock.âÂ
Normally, the âLockâ was just a latch with a zip-tie style tamper proof seal around it, so that John could get out in an emergency. Padlocking it meant that John couldnât get in to sleep at all.Â
Candyâs eyes widened as she understood, and she moved to shut the bathroom door before responding. âHeâs trying to make us give up,â she said, blushing as she hooked a finger in the waistband of her pajama pants. Pulling on the elastic, she revealed a pair of plain cotton panties beneath. Shame-faced, she admitted, âHe took away my diapers.âÂ
âI donât know if I can sleep without bars,â John said, shuffling uncomfortably. âIâm so used to my cage, andâŠâÂ
âHere,â Candy assured him, resting a hand on his arm and squeezing gently. âYou sleep in my crib tonight. Iâll sleep on the guest bed.âÂ
Understanding what she was sacrificing, John whimpered a little, feeling bad for the imposition. âYouâre sure?â
âTo each according to their needs,â Candy promised him. âYou need it more than I do.â
âŠ
Undermining Leadership
A message was scrawled on the chalkboard in the kitchen the next morning.Â
âCandy cannot stop you from freely submitting to me. You donât have to do what she says, just because she thinks she understands being your Daddy better than I do.âÂ
Blanching when she read it, Candy hurriedly wiped the chalk away with her sleeve. She wasnât in charge of the group, she was just their representative, but she didnât want that sort of message undermining their efforts.Â
Unfortunately, Daddy knew her all too well. The video camera heâd placed got the incriminating shot perfectly, showing Candyâs fear and anxiety as she tried to silence speech that disagreed with her, and before anyone had even had breakfast, the whole house had the clip texted to their phone, along with another message.
âWhy is she afraid of you hearing the truth?â
Hurriedly, Candy followed his text with her own. âIâm not trying to act like Iâd be a better daddy than daddy!â
His reply devastated her, providing an ironclad reminder that he was in chargeâor, at least, that he should be.Â
âThen why are you telling me what to do, silly girl?â
âŠ
Captive Audience Meeting
It wasnât a scene.
If it had been, they would have boycotted, but Daddy promised that he just wanted to talk about some practical things.Â
Daddy was a gosh-darned liar.
Socks squirmed uncomfortably as Daddy addressed her, his face straight and level as he absolutely demolished her confidence in the strike. âI want to make sure I have your consent before I post any of these pictures to Fetlife,â he explained politely.Â
The pictures in question were from a scene theyâd played out last week. Socks had been trapped in her mittens, filled up with three glycerin suppositories, and left to dangle in her bouncer and watch while Daddy played grown-up games with Candy. Just the memory of the play made her blushâthinking of being bound and helpless as she filled up her diaper, elastic bands forcing her up and down in an endless rhythm that sank her weight into the yucky mess, frustrated and burning with desire as she watched Daddy fuck her big sister.Â
Sheâd been in a chastity belt since then, and even through the strike, she hadnât been allowed out. That frustration had only built, horny need that drove her into further desperation, and now as she looked at the photos and remembered what theyâd doneâ
âSweetie?â Daddy interrupted. âAre you alright with me sharing this one?âÂ
Socks stared at the pictureâa particularly humiliating frame, the moment where sheâd lost the fight with the suppositories and began to pack her diapers full. She could remember that moment as vividly as when it happened, how all sheâd wanted was to feel Daddyâs cock inside her, but all she got instead was a mushy bottom.Â
âIââ she squeaked. âMhmm.â
âAlright,â Daddy said, swiping on his phone to the next photo. Socks looked at herself, face buried in mitten-clad hands, ashamed and blushing.
Squirming, she said, âThis isnât fair!âÂ
Daddy played innocent. âWhatâs not fair?âÂ
âYouâre getting me all squirmy,â Socks explained, stamping her foot in a fit of pique. âYouâre just being a meanie.âÂ
âA meanie?â Daddy asked, raising an eyebrow. âLittle girl, are you trying to get yourself in trouble?â
Normally, that sort of brattingâcalling Daddy unfair, calling him namesâwould be tantamount to getting on her knees and begging for a spanking, but not today. âNuh-uh. You canât punish me right now!âÂ
âI didnât say Iâd punish you,â Daddy replied mildly, moving to the next photo. âOh, this was excellentâI can almost hear how you were whimpering for permission to just lick me clean! Wasnât that so much fun?â
Putting her hands over her eyes, Socks whimpered, âDaddyyyy!âÂ
He rested a hand on her shoulder, squeezing just hard enough to remind her of his strength. âSweetheartâif you donât want me to punish you, you canât throw fits like this. How am I supposed to respond?âÂ
âItâs not that I donât wantââ Socks began, leaning forward and pressing her face and hands into the table so she wouldnât have to look him in the eye. âYou know we canât play together right now!â
âReally, now, baby girl?â Daddy asked. âI donât âknowâ any such thingâthe only reason we canât play together is because you donât want to. All you have to do is say the word, and we can snuggle and have our movie night together after all, and afterwardsâif youâre a good girl for me, wellâŠmaybe you could get to have playtime with me in the bedroom.â
She wanted it. She needed it. The desperate need to have daddy humiliate her, and comfort her, and snuggle her, and pin her to the bed and use her like a good little toy.
Socks almost broke, then and there, but Daddy pushed a little too hard. He moved to the next picture, and though the tableau of her on her knees, worshiping his cock while he ate Candy out was nearly enough to make her gush in her diaper just by looking at it, she was reminded that she wasnât just doing this for herself. She had to stay strong, for Candy, and for the rest of them.Â
âNot until you promise,â she said, cutting off the train of thought before shameless arousal could override her loyalty to the other submissives in their polycule.Â
âAlright, no playtime then,â Daddy said calmly, as though he hadnât expected her to crack at all. âThatâs alright. NowâŠcan you look at this picture and tell me if itâs okay to share?âÂ
âŠ
Right-to-Wet
A new message was scrawled on the chalkboard on the second day, along with another change.Â
Candy had learned her lessonâshe couldnât hide it, she couldnât erase the writing, all she could do was squirm as everyone woke up and saw what Daddy had announced to them.
Mick read the message, and though he wanted to ignore it as well, it was hard when it remained an ever-present part of his peripheral vision, posted in the kitchen the whole time he made breakfast.
âCandy canât tell you where to go potty. That decision should be made between you and your Daddy. Anyone who asks can have a fresh diaper, without any expectations of other play.â
Matching the timing, he had woken up to find their dressers cleared out of all padding, as well as his maid uniformsâall he had left were boxers, jeans, and plain T-shirts. Checking with Socks and John, heâd confirmed that itâd happened to everyone, losing access to onesies, collars, everything. Candy had been the canary in the coal mineâone by one, they were all losing the submissive comforts that theyâd grown so used to.Â
Mick wanted to take Daddy up on his offer. Wearing normal clothesâno skirt, no apron, nothing maid-like in the slightestâfelt unnatural, and without the reassurance of a puffy diaper around his hips, his days went by in constant discomfort.Â
And besidesâDaddy promised it wouldnât lead to anything else. He could go get his diaper change without crossing the picket line and giving up their struggle, right?Â
ButâŠMick knew that wasnât the case. One crack in their armor, and the dam would burst. If he went to Daddy now, heâd never be able to stop.Â
Still, as he finished preparing breakfast, it was a constant struggle not to give in to temptation, and the message on the chalkboard seemed almost to flash like a neon sign in his vision, reminding him just how easy it would be to give up.
Then Daisy walked in.
OnlyâŠno. She waddled in.Â
Mick froze, barely able to believe what he was seeing. The puppygirl of the polycule just sauntered into the kitchen, diaper on full display below her T-shirt, looking as innocent as she pleased.Â
âDaisy?â he said, raising an eyebrow at her. âSomething you want to tell me?âÂ
Characteristically silent, she shrugged and shook her head, a mop of hair flopping around her face as she did.Â
That did it. If Daisy had given in, he would too. Red-faced and as angry with himself as with her, Mick stormed past, fuming as he stomped up to Daddyâs room. On the way up the stairs, though, he bumped into Candy, who caught his expression immediately.Â
âWhatâs wrong?âÂ
âDaisy,â Mick said. âShe took a diaper from Daddy.â
Candyâs brow furrowed. âShe wouldnât.â
âGo look for yourself,â he snapped. âShe wasnât even guilty.âÂ
For a moment, Candy shared the same aggression Mick felt, then her eyes widened and she grabbed his hand. âHold on.â
âWhat are youââ he started, but she dragged him away before he could finish the sentence, pulling him by the wrist like a doll.Â
He hurried to follow after as Candy led him upstairs, past the nursery, and into Daisyâs bedroom. There, she finally let go, leaving Mick to wobble for a moment and catch his balance as she hurried over to the dresser by the wall.
âAha!â she said, pulling the drawer open and producing a puffy paw-print diaper from inside.Â
It was a trick. Daddy had taken everyone elseâs diapers, but not hers.Â
Blushing bright red that heâd been so gullible, Mick felt a new surge of energy and turned, hurrying back down to the kitchen. Snapping up the chalk, he wrote his own message beneath Daddyâs, declaring his resistance.Â
âNo diapers, no peace!Â
Sub solidarity forever!â
âŠ
The Scab
The five of them sat on the couch, sharing a round of uncomfortable blushes and a singular thought: God, I wish that were me.
Daddy was never all that quiet, but today, he was playing it up, loud and passionate as he ravishedâŠsomeone. Dating outside the polycule was allowed, but heâd rarely brought in someone so vocal, especially not someone that the five of them barely knew.Â
âWhoâs my little diaper slut?â Daddy demanded, voice carrying all the way down to the living room.Â
âI am!â a shrill, whimpering voice called back.Â
âYou filled up your diaper so good for meâare you ready for your reward?âÂ
âPlease!âÂ
Then the spanking beganâloud, powerful SMACKS! that rang out like applause. With every impact, a matching yelp rang, pained cries that the entire group of submissives knew all too well. Jealousy burned hot in the living room as the scene played out upstairs, reminding them of what they could have if they stopped the strike.Â
âUmâŠcan we put on music or something?â John asked.Â
âDaddy changed the spotify password and hid the bluetooth speaker,â Candy pointed out. âHe even took the TV plugâŠâÂ
âHe hid my headphonesâŠâ Socks added in a distraught tone. âHe said since they had baby block stickers on them, they were Little stuff, and I couldnât use them while we were strikingâŠhe gave me ear buds instead.â Sticking out her tongue, she emphasized the horror of that substitution by gagging.Â
âI could play music through my phone,â Mick offered, but it wouldnât be loud enough to drown out the sounds of punishment echoing down the stairs. The smacks had mutated from clapping impacts to heavy thuds as Daddy switched to using a paddle, and the woman heâd brought into his bedroom cried out even louder.Â
âWhat if we justâŠwent somewhere?â John suggested. âLike, out to get ice cream or something?âÂ
âAnd let Daddy know he can force us out of the house whenever he wants? No,â Candy said. âWe have to make a stand hereâwe have to prove weâre not bothered.âÂ
Sitting on the floor by the end of the couch, Daisy began to whimper. Sheâd given up her own diapers out of solidarity, though Daddy hadnât yet confiscated them, and she clearly looked uncomfortable trying to sit on the ground in simple panties.Â
Socks groaned in agreement, pressing her hands over her ears. âI canât take this anymore!âÂ
âCome on,â Candy said. âWeâre stronger than this. Socks, you sat through two hundred spanks while you had a plug in your bottom! Mickâyou managed to clean the entire house with your hands behind your back and a dust mop in your mouth. John, how many hours did Daddy edge you for your birthday?â
âUmâŠthree,â John said, smiling, blushing, and rubbing the back of his neck. âAnd a half. I did pretty goodâŠ
âAnd Daisy,â Candy prompted, reaching down to ruffle her hair. âYouâre the best girl there isâyouâre definitely strong enough for this. We can make it, we just have to hang on a little longer.âÂ
That brought their spirits up, until the sound of thudding stopped, replaced by the sound of flesh clapping together, and yelps were replaced with moans.

My Subs Have Unionized, Chapter One: Seizing the Means of Seduction (AB/DL)
Candyâs word choice was precise, direct, and chosen for maximum impact. âThank you for joining us, Brad.â
Not âDaddyâ. Not âSirâ.Â
Brad.Â
That alone was a white glove tossed across the negotiation table, a challenge. It didnât matter that she was wearing her PJsâa onesie over a puffy, damp diaperâor that the ânegotiation tableâ was a double-wide kitchen island, she wanted him to know that she, and Daisy, and John, and Mick, and Socks meant business.Â
Daddy just raised an eyebrow at her, pulling up a seat opposite the five of them. He wasnât dressed for the day either, but his loose T-shirt and sweatpants only emphasized his power; the hard shape of his sculpted body visible beneath flashes of fabric. âI donât see breakfast,â he pointed out, glancing out at the table.Â
Mick was the housemaid, and though he hadnât been bold enough enough to forgo donning his uniform and skirts that morning, heâd made a stand in that regardâleaving breakfast unmade.Â
âAnd you wonât,â Candy replied, raising her hand towards Daisy and holding her palm open, âUntil our demands are met.âÂ
Nothing happened for a moment, until she nudged Daisy, who was tugging at the hem of the long t-shirt that fell over her own paw-print decorated diaper. The lanky girl yipped in surprise, remembering what theyâd planned, and took the sheaf of paper that theyâd prepared and placed it in Candyâs open hand. With a flourish, Candy passed the paper across the table, turning it around for Daddy to read.Â
He looked down, expression bemused, then raised an eyebrow as he began to read. âDo we need to bring safe words into this conversation?âÂ
Candy shook her head quickly. âNo. This isnât that kind of negotiation.âÂ
Nodding, Daddy picked up the paper, eyes lingering on Candy for a moment longer before drifting down to begin reading. The five of them waited on bated breath, awaiting his reaction.
âYouâre threatening to withhold your submission?â he asked, more curious than concerned.Â
âNot threatening,â Candy replied. âWeâve talked about this, and weâre going to go through with it. If you want our submission, you will need to comply with our demands.âÂ
Daddy set aside the paper, instead looking her in the eyes. Candy flinchedâDaddy had a look that could make her melt, and he employed it judiciously, dropping her into subspace with the slightest arc of his eyebrows. âReally now, baby?âÂ
Her lips trembled, and she struggled to produce any sounds more coherent than pure babble. The pure, concentrated Daddy Energy filled her with an urge to drop to her knees and submit, but a gentle touch from Mick stabilized her. Her submissive-in-arms slipped his lace gloved-hand between her fingers and squeezed, restoring a bit of her ability to resist.Â
Raising her chin, Candy declared, âReally.â
Ignoring the paper, Daddy looked them all over. âAll of you planned this out?âÂ
Nobody else made eye contact with him. Mick found a spot on the ceiling to stare at, Socks looked down at her boots, John turned his nearly-naked body around to face away, and Daisy crossed her arms over her chest and even went so far as to nod her head in defiance, her bone-shaped collar tag jingling.Â
Daddy nodded. âAnd what are your demands?âÂ
Sheâd hoped he would simply read the list, but of course he was forcing her to speak them aloud instead. She didnât want a confrontation, but she didnât have a choice, the whole polycule was depending on her.Â
âFirstâfreedom of cummies,â she said, acutely aware of the chastity belt locked beneath her diaper. âChastity should only be employed as punishment for serious disobedience. Iâweâwant access to buzzy time whenever we want, without needing permission.â
Daddy chuckled, as though she were joking. âBaby, you know youâre too little to make decisions like that. How would I keep you all in line if I let you spend your whole day just riding your wands?âÂ
The comment made her blush, which had to be intentionalâDaddy was trying to derail the delivery of their manifesto. âSecond,â Candy said, voice trembling slightly. âMake out privileges. We demand permission to kiss and fondle each other at will.âÂ
Daddy nodded, though his broad smirk said, âNever in a million yearsâ.Â
âNo more bedtimes for me or Socks. We should be allowed to stay up past midnight with everyone else. Mick wants access to diaper changes before his daily chores are concluded,â Candy continued. âAnd he only wants to do hot brekkie on business days, so he can sleep in on weekends.â
âSweetheart,â Daddy interrupted. âYouâre not australian. Just because they say âbrekkieâ on Bluey doesnât mean you should call it that.â
He was trying to get her flustered, and it worked, but she powered through without replying to the comment.Â
âJohn wants his cage to be left open at night. I want nuggies available for at least three meals a week, and full veto power on anything containing vegetables. Plus, no more stinky diapers when your other Big friends are over, or during playdates with other littles who might tease meâerm, us.â Her lip trembled, but she held eye contact, all her bravery on display.Â
âIs that all?â Daddy asked.
âThereâs a few more things,â Candy admitted, reaching for the papers. âBut this one is the most important. We donât negotiate anything else until this is signed.â Producing the bottom sheet from the stack, she held it out.
Daddy glanced at it, but didnât read the paper, forcing Candy to explain herself. âWhat is that?âÂ
âA non-retaliation clause,â Candy declared. âSaying that you will not punish any of us for collective bargaining, enforcement of our rules, or for demanding fairer rules.âÂ
Looking at the paper, Daddy pondered it for a moment before setting it aside. âWhoâs idea was this, Candy? It wasnât yours.âÂ
They remained silent, but Daddy could see through their poker faces easily, and a few darting glances turned his attention onto John. The polyculeâs resident rope bunny shivered, his bare body somehow sweaty despite the cool morning.Â
âToy,â Daddy told John. âWhat were you thinking? That Iâd let you out of your cage if you got your friends to ask with you? You know that everything between your legs belongs to me. And with this little fussing session, I think we can put another month on the calendar before I let you borrow those parts.âÂ
John whimpered, but Candy cleared her throat. âIt was a group decision.â
Daddy didnât seem bothered by the interruption. âI have a counter offer.âÂ
Nodding, Candy glanced at her co-submissives, ensuring they were all ready to listen. âWeâll hear out your terms.âÂ
Daddy lifted his chin ever so slightly, an acknowledgement that their efforts had gained his attentionâbut not his respect. âYou all apologize for being brats, and Iâll forget the myriad responsibilities youâve chosen to disregard this morning.âÂ
Daddyâs confident smile shook Candy to her core, and she could tell by the way the others rocked back that she wasnât alone, but she held strong. âThatâs it, then.âÂ
âThatâs it?â Daddy asked.Â
âA submission stoppage,â Candy announced. âEveryone, this meeting is over.âÂ
Getting to his feet, Daddy nodded, moving to step around the table. His fingers reached for the seat of Candyâs diaper, but she stood and stepped back, preventing him from checking her.Â
âI need to see if youâre soggy,â he pointed out. âDonât you want a change, little one?âÂ
She did. Nothing relaxed her more than Daddyâs tender touch, wiping her clean and powdering her dry before wrapping her up in a nice, fresh diaper, but Candy stuck out her chin and shook her head. âNot until our demands are met.âÂ
âIf you leakââ Daddy started.Â
âI wonât.âÂ
âYou canât stay in one diaper forever.â
She sucked in a breath, her next statement feeling more like a challenge than anything sheâd done so far. âIâll change myself.âÂ
Daddy was taken aback, but only for a moment. Moving on, he looked between them, deciding where to apply pressure next. âDaisy. Are you ready for your morning walkies?âÂ
Daisyâs expression brightened, then soured again. She shook her head, sniffing a little as she held her ground.Â
âSocksâitâs pancake day. Donât you need my help eating breakfast? Iâll cut the pieces extra small.âÂ
Candy held her breath, but her baby-in-crime stood proud: Socks puffed out her chest and held her breath, waiting for Daddy to move on.
Daddy finally turned to face John, letting Socks exhale. âToy,â Daddy said to the next sub in line. âIs your harness clean?â
âIt is,â John promised.Â
âThenââ
âBut I wonât use it,â he interrupted. âIâm not crossing the picket line, Brad.âÂ
Daddy sighed, and Candy felt a surge of triumph. Theyâd held strong, refusing to buckle under Daddyâs dominant energy. Turning, he said, âAlright. If this is how you want to behave, just rememberâitâs your choice.âÂ
He left, and the five of them slumped, all drained by the flimsy resistance theyâd offered.Â
Shivering, Daisy sniffed, looking like she might cry. Mick gave voice to her concern. âDo you think heâll be mad?âÂ
âIt doesnât matter,â Candy replied. âHeâs got to agree to our terms, and that means he canât retaliate.âÂ
âBut if he doesnât?â Socks asked, already desperate after only two minutes of independence. âHe said heâd watch Tangled with me tomorrow nightâwhat if weâre still not at an agreement?âÂ
âThen weâll hold strong,â Candy promised her. âI know this is hard, but we have to stick together. Once he gives up, weâll get to have grown-up time whenever we want! That has to be worth it!âÂ
âHeâs not gonna wait us out,â John supplied. Almost naked save for the chastity cage Daddy kept him in at all times, Candy didnât know how he wasnât shivering cold; without her onesie and knee socks she would have been shivering.Â
âYou think?â Socks asked eagerly.Â
âOf course not. Heâs going to try and pressure us,â John explained. âIsolate us, make us turn one by one.â
âDonât worry. We held together once, we can do it again,â Candy promised them.Â
Mick wasnât so certain. âThat was when we were all together. What about when weâre alone?âÂ
âJust remember: No matter what Daddy promises you, we canât buckle. He will punish us, so we need to make sure he doesnât get that opportunity.âÂ
âThe longer we hold out, the more heâll try and bribe us,â John added. âHeâll get us alone and make promisesâthat if we turn, heâll let us have whatever we want. Donât listen.â
âDaddyâs a fibber, anyway,â Socks said. âThe other day he said I could pick between cookies and five minutes with my buzzy wand, but when I picked buzzy time, he didnât let me plug it in!âÂ
Candy slumped back on her stool, tummy grumbling. Without Mickâs usual breakfast spread, she was feeling particularly hungie. âLetâs just go about our day, and donât let him get to us, okay? We knew he wouldnât break immediately.âÂ
There was a moment of assent and the five of them stood, but it quickly faded as they all tried to think what their day would even look like. Without their typical routine, breakfast hadnât been made. Candy and Socks would have to feed themselves, Daisy wouldnât be getting anything served in her dog bowl, Mick didnât have anything to clean up. Uncertainly, they all milled around the kitchen for a moment, shuffling back and forth, at a loss for how to proceed.Â
âIâll make breakfast, okay?â Mick suggested. âI like cooking, anyway.â
âNo,â Candy insisted. âWe canât just do what he wants. If you make brekkie, we lose.â
âI wonât make any for daddâBrad.â Mick shook his head. âHeâll have to prepare his own food.âÂ
âYouâre not in maid mode,â Candy shot back. âIâll make it.â
âYouâd burn cereal,â Mick snapped. âIâm not eating whatever slime you make!âÂ
Stepping between them, Daisy lifted her arms and shook her head furiously, her voluminous hair flopping from side to side. Growling a little, she communicated her point without needing to say a word: Stoooop fightiiiiiing.Â
She was right, and Candy blushed as she recognized sheâd started a meaningless argument. âHeâs getting to us already,â she said, though Daddy hadnât even seeded this argument. âIâŠIâm sorry, Mick. You can make brekkie if you want. Socks, I can feed you, if you feed me, ok?âÂ
The other baby girl nodded. âOkay!âÂ
Mick moved to start cooking, flouncing daintily around the kitchen in his maid uniform. âEveryone, youâre in my wayâlet me cook.âÂ
They filed out, and Candy took a moment to scratch Daisyâs scalp, just behind the ears. âIâm sorry for fighting, girl.âÂ
Daisyâs tongue lolled out and she made a pleased sound in the back of her throat, nodding as she accepted the apology. âSâkay.â
Candy had one more thing to take care ofâshe needed a fresh diaper. Daddy had claimed she would leak, and she wasnât about to prove him right, so she set off to her nursery to get herself changed.Â
She hated doing her own diapersâit just never felt the same. A self-change was a chore, not a pleasure, but sheâd already accepted that this would be necessary as part of their collective struggle. Socks was hopeless with changing diapers, and she wouldnât want to ask anyone else to take on that responsibility.Â
Candy found the nursery door open when she got upstairs, which got her attention immediately. She always shut it out of habit, leftover paranoia from when she'd lived with vanillas and had to worry about her diaper supplies being spotted. Walking inside, she looked for Daddy, wondering what he'd try to bribe her with, but he was nowhere to be seen.Â
On edge, she walked to her dresser, pulling out the top drawer to get her changing supplies. She recoiled in horror, eyes widening once she saw what Daddy had done.
A stack of fresh, clean panties were in the drawer. No diapers, no powder, not even a stuffer. Daddy had taken away all her underwear and replaced them with theseâŠthings. The panties didn't even have cute prints!Â
A note sat to the side of the panties, written in Daddyâs straightforward handwriting. Reading it, Candy felt a chill run down her back, from the base of her neck to the seat of her damp, sagging diaper.
âSince you think you're big enough to make grown up decisions, I think it's only fair that you wear grown up panties.
If you want your diapers back, you'll have to prove you won't act like a grown up.
-BradâÂ

For Research Purposes Only, an ABDL Romance - Chapter Six, Switch Scene
It took only five minutes for Melody to put together the supplies she needed, but a full hour to negotiate the details.
Skip considered noping out of the situation twice, but theyâd already committed to it, and their balking points were a bit too embarrassing to admit. Better to run with it, and keep their private opinions on the situation private.
âI want you to experience some pressure, even some stress,â Melody had explained, âBut itâs not going to be sexual.âÂ
âIâm not going to say that sexual stuff wouldnât be stressful,â Skip pointed out. âIf you want me uncomfortable, that could work.â
âBut itâs not the point.â Melody sat back on her bed, kicking up her feet. âIf it were sexual, youâd only be super grossed out and uncomfortable.â
(Itâs not that gross,) Skip thought. Their issue with sex had more to do with boredom than anything else; the grossness came with the human element. âSo, the point?â
âI want there to be a push and a pull. A threat, and a reward. Normallyââ
âPunishment and cumming, yeah,â Skip interrupted. âI get it.â
âOkay, so, weâll figure out something for you. What would make a good reward?â
âI guessâŠâ Skip started, pursing their lips.Â
This was the first balking point. Anything they suggested would be unavoidably revealing. Would asking for cash be greedy? Almost certainlyâand it wouldnât fit the mood. They had to come up with something personally rewarding, something that would actually entice them.
Fortunately, Melody saved them. âIâve got a box of chocolates this guy sent meâtheyâre super fancy. How does that sound?â
It sounded like an opportunity to not have to come up with anything, and that was exactly what Skip wanted. âPerfect.âÂ
Melody grinned. âGreat. Nowâfor punishment. Weâre not going to do anything physical. Iâm not even going to actually do anything, I just need something I can threaten you with.â
âSoâŠif youâre not going to do it, just threaten me with violence,â Skip pointed out.Â
âYeah, no. This one needs to be personal.â Melody sat back, scratching their chin. âIâve run a kinda-similar scene before, but Iâd just threaten to call the subâs ex. That doesnât work here, for obvious reasons.â
âYeah,â Skip agreed. âNo exes.â
âAre you reading anything right now?â Melody suggested. âOr in the middle of a show? I could threaten to spoil the ending.â
Skip shook their head. They didnât particularly care about spoilers, and most of their narrative investment fell into video games rather than TV or books, where the plot was more player-driven and twists didnât matter as much. âI generally guess twists way in advance anyway,â they pointed out. âSoâŠspoilers donât bother me?âÂ
Melody bobbed their head in a nod. âOkayâŠhmm.â
Tilting their head, Skip got an idea. âThoughâŠif youâre not actually going to do it, I do have an idea.âÂ
From there, they hashed out details, with an unnecessary-but-insisted-on refresher on safe words and a couple plans made for how to write about the scene after the fact. Just to be thorough, Skip also took notes on the pre-scene conversation, jotting down enough commentary to remember how it played out so they could print it as well.Â
A few concessions would be made. Skip would remain fully clothed throughout, but theyâd have to remove their hoodie to make their wrists more accessible. Not much physical contact would be needed, but Melody would sometimes touch Skipâs face, arms, legs, and shoulders, both to facilitate the bondage and to encourage the right headspace.Â
And, if need be, Skip was always free to end things in an instant.
Then came the setup. Skip retrieved a toy from their own collection while Melody borrowed a couple office supplies from Grace. Surprisingly, the only object Melody actually provided was the box of chocolatesâher extensive collection didnât come into play. Â
After reconvening, Melody dimmed the lights in her room, and though her clothes didnât change, her posture shifted, bringing out a persona that Skip rarely saw except incidentally and in passing.Â
âSit down,â she instructed, nodding to her bed. Her voice wasnât quite a purr, but it had a deeper, huskier element to it.Â
Skip exhaled through their nose. They didnât want to laugh in her face or deliberately break the mood, but it was hard to get around the inherent silliness of it all. A human mating ritual, minus the mating part, felt like it shouldâve been a comedy sketch rather than a passionate scene.Â
Still, theyâd been given an instruction, and they wanted to see how this would all play out. They sat, legs hanging over the side.
Melody approached, reached down, and took Skipâs wrists in her hands, holding them up. The touch reminded them that they were exposed, with only a T-shirt over their body, and the desire to chuckle faded.Â
âDonât struggle,â Melody said, stepping onto the bed and kneeling behind Skipâs back. She deftly moved their wrists, pinning them together, then added in a whisper, âYouâre not going anywhere.âÂ
A slender strip of paper wrapped around Skipâs wrists, pulling their hands together. It wasnât special paper, or particularly hardy, just printer paper borrowed from Graceâwith a solid tug, it would rip, but that was the point. Skip wouldnât really be bound, it would only feel that way; even if Melody lost her mind and started ignoring safe words, the bondage would be only an illusion.
Sliding the base of the stapler beneath the paper so that it protected Skipâs skin, Melody gave the tool a squeeze, and with a solid ka-chunk Melody pinned the paper together. There was no escaping the makeshift cuff without ripping it.
Skip found it to be more delicate than theyâd even realized. Shifting their weight, they felt the paper strain against the side of their hand. They had to be still and careful, cautious not to accidentally tear the restraint.
For emphasis, Melody slipped two fingers beneath the paper, showing that there was room for circulation. That done, she stood, kneeling by Skipâs feet.
Another strip of paper, another heavy stapler cha-chunk, and Skip was left helpless and immobile.Â
At least, so long as they wanted the scene to continue.
Melody stood, leaning in and studying Skip. Her face was only a few inches away from Skipâs, her chest moving slowly, and Skip could feel her warm breath puffing against their skin.
They locked eyes with her, jaw set in determination.
âAre you comfortable?â Melodyâs question felt like a joke, or an insult. Of course they werenât comfortable. It was a struggle to keep still, to hold their body in place and avoid ripping the paper, and the act of just remaining stationary took up their focus.Â
âYes,â Skip promised, nodding. They wouldnât be defeated by some strips of paper. âIâm fine.â
Melodyâs delicate fingers traced over Skipâs shoulder, idly taunting them with her freedom of movement. They were paralyzed, barely able to shift their wrists or adjust their stance.
A smile spread across Melodyâs lips. âGood. Remember, you can end this at any time.âÂ
Skip nodded, realizing that their heart rate had begun to increase. Their arms trembled a little, as though their body thought theyâd begun exercising. Burying their nerves, they shook their head. âIâm not stupid.âÂ
âAlright.â Reaching down, Melody picked up the object theyâd settled on as the Threat. âThen letâs begin.â
Pressing the power button on top, she clicked on Skipâs Switch, a shiny logo appearing as the game console powered up.Â
âNow, letâs see,â Melody purred, somehow still maintaining the sultry timbre in her tone as she moved the joystick, screen turned that Skip could see. âIâve got access to all your save files here, donât I?âÂ
It was just a game, a farce as part of their trumped up scene, but Skip still felt a spike of anxiety when they saw Melody open the settings menu and tab to the storage page. âDelete all save dataâ was right there, text highlighted, waiting to be pressed.
âDonât,â Skip blurted. They hadnât set any rules about not arguing, and their argument response had kicked into high gear. Still, they kept their wrists pressed together, not wanting to lose face by giving up.Â
âDonât, what?â Melody asked.
This part had no clear response. Melody had explained that she would try to provoke responses from Skip, to make them say things, but sheâd been vague about what exactly the word games would be.Â
âDonât even joke about it,â Skip said, going with bravado.Â
âI think you meant to say, âDonât, please,ââ Melody chided. âMaybe a lesson is necessary. Which of these do you care about the most?âÂ
Skipâs eyes widened as Melody moved away from the save data storage, instead moving to the user statistics page. Suddenly, their gaming history was laid bare, cumulative thousands of hours across a rather embarrassing spread of titles.Â
âTwo hundred hours in Monster Hunter: Rise?â Melody said. âThat sure is a lot of time to be gone in an instant.âÂ
âNo!â Skip snapped, a blush immediately shooting up their face as they reacted. (Itâs just an act, donât let on that youâre getting flustered.)Â
âNo, what?â Melody asked, the corners of her mouth curling up in a demonic smirk.Â
Squirming, twisting their wrists against the paper, wishing they could snatch the Switch away and end this, Skip capitulated. âNo, please.âÂ
âThatâs better.â Straightening, Melody reached out and traced a finger along the side of Skipâs face. âIf you ask very nicely, Iâll let you play with your Switch tonight, and Iâll even give you an extra reward.âÂ
Melodyâs change in demeanor was smooth but instant as she shifted from stern to soothing. âWhat is it?âÂ
âThat wasnât part of the plan,â Skip objected. âWe never said anything about you keeping the switch once weâre done.âÂ
Smiling warmly, Melody shook her head. âItâs just another threat. I wonât follow through with it.â
(Obviously.) Skip exhaled slowly, feeling ridiculous for using a safe word over something so apparent. Or, really, feeling ridiculous for reacting at allâtheyâd known it was an act, but theyâd had a spike of concern anyway. They shouldâve been better than that. âOkay, Iâm good then.âÂ
âThank you for using your safe words,â Melody whispered to them, soft and reassuring. âYouâre so good for me.âÂ
That, at least, didnât make Skip feel much of anything, which helped them regain a bit of confidence. It was just so cheesy, and they hadnât done anything warranting real praise. âLetâs just get back to it. Green?â
Nodding, Melody regained her aloof smirk. âI think I want to hear you beg.âÂ
No longer worried thanks to the break in continuity, Skip still played along. âPlease, donât take away my games. Please!âÂ
âYou can do better,â Melody chided. âItâs like you donât really even want it.âÂ
This was just acting, and while Skip was no movie star, they could put on an front well enough, even hiding how much the whole encounter made them want to snicker at the absurdity. âPlease, Melody, Iâll be good, Iâll do whatever you say, just let me have my games back, please?âÂ
âMmmâŠâ Melody said, tapping a finger to her lips in thought.Â
Taking a stab at what Melody wanted, Skip threw in a stinger at the end. âIâll be good for you.âÂ
That won her over. Melody smiled, setting down the Switch. Reaching to her side, she picked up the box of chocolates sheâd left on her nightstand, undoing the ribbon with the tip of her nails. When she opened the lid, a note inside fell out: âCanât wait to see you again - Quentinâ.
Melody ignored the note completely as it fluttered to the floor, picking up one of the chocolates, a shiny red one that smelled of cinnamon and spice. Cupping Skipâs face gently in one palm, she pressed the confection between their lips, letting Skip savor the impeccably made chocolate.Â
âThat wasnât so hard, was it?â Melody inquired, watching their face. âWhen youâre good for me, you get rewarded.âÂ
Skip smiled, warmth spreading down their throat. The chocolate had a bit of heat to it, maybe a Mexican Spice blend, and it tasted expensive. Unsure if they were supposed to respond or not, they simply nodded.Â
At their reaction, Melody only smiled. âI knew youâd like it better once you were obedient.âÂ
Even if only because it came with a bribery of chocolateâŠshe wasnât entirely wrong.Â

In an abstract, logical sense, Daniel knew better than to be flippant with his pernicious prefect, but applying abstract knowledge towards the practical often eluded him.Â
âDo you need help with your homework?â He asked, smirking back at her.Â
âYou've got a smartass streak,â Rachel said, hand lingering on the door handle for a moment before she stepped away.Â
âYeah, well, you're the one who's got a weird obsession with my ass.â Shrugging, Daniel returned his focus to the cast-iron cauldron heâd been rinsing clean. Shaking off the bulk of the water droplets, he set it upside down on the drying rack. âSo, what do youâwoah.â
Rachel had sidled up beside him without a sound, and now loomed just out of armâs reach. âThat's what I'm talking about, spark. I know it was you.âÂ
Daniel rolled his eyes, projecting a lack of care. He didn't want to show how intimidated he suddenly felt. âWhat was me?âÂ
âThe rumors. The jokes.â Stepping closer, she glared down into Daniel's eyes. âYouâve been making up stories about me, you little prick.â
Daniel felt a surge of confidence when he heard her admit it: He'd dealt a painful blow. His plot had worked, and Rachel was hurting, and she'd just given him the opportunity to twist the knife.
âI didnât have to make anything up.â He looked back up at her, unflinching. âI just told the truth, and let your reputation do the rest. Nobody likes you, Rachel. Everyone knows you're a sadistic, friendless bitch who barely deserves to be here, it didn't take much to convince them you were a creep, too.âÂ
Rachel exhaled sharply, and Daniel got the mental impression of a snorting bull, stamping and preparing to charge a matador. âDon't test me, spark. You think your life sucks now? I can make it infinitely worse.âÂ
Pressing his palms to his cheeks, Daniel made a face of mock horror and shook a red cape in Rachelâs face. âOh, no! What are you going to do, humiliate me? Make me do the chicken dance and shit myself in front of the school? Newsflash, asshole, anything you do to me is just going to get added to the list of rumors about you.âÂ
âThatâs the best youâve got?â Rachel snorted, her face burning red. âAt least âIâm rubber, youâre glueâ is catchy, youâre just pathetic.âÂ
âWhat did I do to you?â Daniel threw up his hands and rolled his eyes, making a show out of not caring. He was done playing Rachelâs punching bagâit was time to drop the hammer. âDo I look a little too much like your absentee dad? Or some guy who dumped you? Or is it just that I exist as a walking reminder that even a man is a better witch than you?âÂ
At that, Rachel didnât fumble for an angry retort, she just set her jaw. âA better witch, huh?âÂ
âI heard youâre the reason that covens canât transfer members,â Daniel said, missing that heâd gone too far. âHow many times did you get traded before Blackburn created that rule? God, it must suck to be the group thatâs stuck with youâitâs like a game of Hot Potato, except instead of burning hands, they got stuck with a shitty excuse for a witch.âÂ
Reaching to the strap on the side of her skirt, Rachel took her wand, flicking it out so that the ribbon extended in a spiraling loop. âLetâs test that theory, then, Spark.âÂ
Finally, Daniel realized he may have pushed a bit too much. Taking an unconscious step back, he asked, âWhat?â
âTake out your wand, and letâs see which of us is the worst,â she explained. âHere.â Reaching forward, she picked up his wand from the counter and shoved it into his hand.
âI donât want to fight you,â Daniel said, stumbling back as he raised his wand.Â
âWhy not? I thought you were so much better than me,â Rachel spat. âHere, Iâll even let you take the first shot.âÂ
She raised her arms to the side, the ribbon on her wand dangling down to the floor while she waited.Â
Daniel almostâalmostâfell for it. Clutching his own stubby, solid wand, he thought about what he could do that would keep Rachel from retaliating, then thought a little more. âYou want me to attack, so you can hit back,â he said. âIâm not stupid. You donât get an excuse to hex me.â
âWell, damn,â Rachel said, shrugging. In the blink of an eye, she flicked her wrist and hissed a word, and a lash of complex power flew towards Daniel and knocked the wand from his hand.
Eyes widening, he stumbled backwards, slipping and falling as his knees went weak. His wand was right there on the ground, but when he tried to pick it up, his fingers were numb and it felt as though he were trying to lift a feather through thick mittens.Â
âAww, whatâs wrong?â Rachel sneered, stepping over him. âTrouble with your wand, baby boy? Itâs just a little enchantment on your fingie-wingies. Any half-decent witch could clear them away in a second.â
Danielâs heart was pounding, but he tried not to let fear override his common sense. Shutting his eyes, he searched for the strands of power, following the magic just like Jen had taught him. He could just sense the energy, overlapping his own body like a net, and with a little nudgeâ
Rachel flicked her wand again, and Daniel convulsed, falling to the ground completely, focus brokenânot by pain, but a sudden, overpowering tickling sensation.Â
âYouâre really struggling, huh?â she asked as he writhed on the ground and tried not to giggle. âWowâI heard you were practicing with the klutz, but this sort of aura tracing is supposed to be the first thing witches learn. Then again, if youâre still potty training, itâs no wonder you still donât know your spellwork either.âÂ
Gasping for breath, Daniel coughed, âYouârumors!â
Crouching down so that she sat on her ankles, Rachel looked Daniel in the eye. âYouâre rightâif I were to try and humiliate you in front of everyone, it would blow up in my face.â Looking around, she made a show of raising her eyebrows, throwing Danielâs own mock surprise back at him. âBut would you look at thatâweâre all alone, arenât we?â
Eyes widening, Daniel continued to giggle as a confusing mix of tickling, laughter, and horror all dawned on him at once.Â
Leaving him to squirm, Rachel tipped one of the cauldrons upright, sizing it up in her hands for a moment. âI want to test a theory.âÂ
He watched her, but couldnât do much more than that.
âWeâve been around forever,â Rachel said. âWitches, that is. Long enough to appear in fairy tales, legends and myths, all sorts of crap. Good witches, bad witches, but all the best stories involve a good curse.âÂ
Daniel didnât like where this was going.
Walking the cauldron over to the nearest lab table, she slid it onto a burner. After a brief click-click-click of the ignition, a little gas flame sparked to life beneath it, rapidly the cast iron.
âDid you ever wonder why the good fairies didnât just undo the curse on Sleeping Beauty? Itâs because curses are hard as hell to breakâŠif theyâre someone elseâs work.â Pulling open a drawer, she rifled through it, producing a handful of ingredients. âA good, solid curse ties itself to the victimâs own spirit. Try and break it, you risk breaking their minds as well as the magic thatâs binding them.âÂ
Daniel really didnât like where this was going.Â
Pouring a half cup of clear liquid into the cauldron, Rachel stirred it slowly, muttering a few words below her breath as she did so.Â
âOf course, you canât curse another witch that way. A witch knows her own spirit like the back of her hand, she can tell where itâs been tied and twisted. Curse a witch, sheâll undo the spell as easily as undoing her shoelaces.â Glaring over the simmering pot, Rachel said, âSo, spark, weâre going to find out if youâre really a witch after all.âÂ
Invisible fingers traced up and down Danielâs body, and though the laughter all-but paralyzed him, he managed to get out a word. âPlease!âÂ
âPlease, what?â Rachel asked, sprinkling a few extra ingredients in. âYou should have no problem, since youâre such a good witch.âÂ
He gasped, struggling to breathe and speak at the same time.Â
âThatâs what I thought,â Rachel said, removing the cauldron from the heat. âDonât worryâthis is a pretty awful potion, I barely put any effort into it at all.âÂ
Tapping the side of the cauldron with her wand, a puff of steam lifted from atop it, and when she touched the iron with her bare skin, it didnât burn. Smiling smugly, she took a straight-walled glass bottle from the shelf below the lab table and drained the freshly-brewed potion into it.
Holding up the pale white liquid, she gave it a few swirls, then said, âHold on, this isnât quite right.â Giving the top of the bottle a tap with her wand, a rubber nipple sealed itself over the opening, so that it resembled little more than an oversized baby bottle.Â
Tears ran down Danielâs face as the tickling spell forced him to keep laughing, body contorting on the floor. Heâd begun to hiccup between the giggles, deep inhalations barely able to keep his lungs full of air as the torture of sensations attacked him.
Rachel stepped up to his convulsing body, crouched, and whispered, âDrink up, spark,â before shoving the tip of the bottle into his mouth with enough force that he couldnât easily pull his head away.Â
If heâd had strength and breath, he might have been able to free himself, but he was exhausted and still wracked with a tickling sensation that left him too weak to fight. Resistance would only lead to further humiliation, and he was in no state to push his tormentor, so Daniel gave in and drank. Cool, syrup-sweet liquid ran down his tongue, like cherry medicine with a tinge of something cruel in the aftertaste, and he couldnât do anything except whimper and swallow it down.Â
Ten seconds passed, then thirty, as the sickly sweet sludge ran down his throat. The tickling faded, but Daniel could feel something else working its way through his body, magic spreading down his veins like chains that tightened whenever he tried to fight it.Â
As the bottle emptied and the tickling curse faded, he fell limp against the cool floor, taking deep breaths through his nose. His face felt cold in streaks where tears had dried, and he wanted to go curl up and sleep for a week.Â
Instead, as Rachel pulled the bottle away, leaving only a lingering bitter aftertaste, he croaked out, âWhat did you do?âÂ
âNothing,â Rachel said, glancing down with a broad smirk. Danielâs gaze followed hers, and he saw that his skirt had at some point bunched up, revealing a yellow-stained diaper beneath. âI certainly didnât do that.âÂ
He flushed red, realizing only then that heâd lost control at some point during the flurry of tickles. Not his fault, exactly, but it certainly felt like he was to blame. âButââ he started.Â
âJust remove the curse,â Rachel said simply, pushing up to her feet. âAnd youâll never have to find out. OtherwiseâŠwell, good luck blaming this on me, nobody is going to believe that a student here canât even undo a simple binding hex.âÂ
Turning, she walked towards the door, letting the tip of her ribbon wand trail on the floor behind her as she left. With one last glance over her shoulder, she added, âOh, and by the wayâif you try and get someone else to undo the curse, the effects will be permanent. Good luck!âÂ
Slipping out of the potions room, she slammed the door behind her, leaving Daniel to lay on the floor, eyes shut, tracing lines of magic as best he could but sure of only one thing.
Rachel was right: He couldnât undo her curse.Â
...
I took a little haitus to combat some burnout, but I'm back, babies!

âGross, gross, gross, this will never not be gross,â Daniel mumbled to himself, avoiding eye contact with his blushing visage in the enchanted window.Â
One week into his education at Alphabeta, and heâd settled into a bit of a routine, but this part of his day would never feel normal. Heâd found ways to keep his diaper use to a minimum, peeing in the shower whenever possible, but there were certain things he couldnât get around.Â
So, as part of his morning rituals, he would squat down in the corner of his room, think up something distracting to take his mind off things, and fill up his school-mandated diaper.Â
The sensation of muck spreading in his padded underwear as the seat bulged out never made him feel anything other than humiliated, and though he could strip out of it almost instantly and wipe up in a matter of minutes, he refused to let this become ânormalâ. If pooping his pants became normal, Rachel would win, and Daniel would never in a million years let Rachel win.Â
After an utterly degrading wiping session, he made his way to the prefectâs bathrooms, using the accessible one at the end of the lineâa private stall that stood separate from the rest of the showers. Nobody else needed it this year, so itâd been reserved for his shower use. In a reasonable world, heâd get to use the toilet there as well, but heâd already accepted that his padding was intended to force him out of the school, and so any attempt at reasonability would be met with total refusal.
Besidesâhe was getting what he came here for.
An education.Â
It was slow, but it was steady. In a week, heâd gained a grasp of the fundamentals in a way heâd never experienced before, and as he practiced with Jen and worked with his coven, he found his experience levels multiplying.Â
If heâd continued to hit roadblocks and failed to learn anything, maybe it would have gotten to him, but as it was? He had a long skirt, a practiced walk to hide the waddle, and the most humiliating parts of his tribulation remained concealed within his bedroom. Rachel had nothing on him that he couldnât push past.Â
Coven lessons had become a highlight of his day. They were still working through fundamentals, giving everyone the familiarity and experience needed to communicate thoughts back and forth while spellcasting, but whenever he got to be the Mind, he thrilled at the power. It was a taste of what was in his grasp: the control and power of a Warlock. They werenât there to just indulge his fantasies, but he could imagine himself as the foci of a Coven of Eight, leading his own group, mastering the power and becoming high Warlockâ
âDaniel?â Mathilde interrupted, snapping him out of his daydream.Â
âIâm sorry?â he asked, blinking a couple times. âCan you repeat that?âÂ
âFor the group project,â she repeated. âWe need to do a demonstration on Monday. What role do you want to take?âÂ
(Mind,) he thought instantly, but out loud he just said, âIâm happy to take any position, whatever is best for the group.â He didnât want his ego to be that obvious.Â
âFamiliar it is,â Asami announced. âThis should be super easy, we will just be doing a couple basic spells in the general magic groups, but if we want to get in a practice session over the weekend, I can reserve us a classroom.âÂ
âAre we doing the extra voxavin practice?â Hazel asked.Â
Radha tilted her head. âWell, are we going to try out as a competitive team, or just do the mandatory P.E.?âÂ
âIâm good with us trying out,â Cassie said. âIt sounded like a big deal.â
âGlinse always makes it sound like a big deal,â Mathilde snickered. âFunny how the class she teaches is the most important one.â
âWeâre mostly second and first years, itâs pretty rare for a group like us to make it through tryouts,â Asami added quickly. âJust so nobody gets their hopes up.â Â
âDaniel?â Cassie asked, glancing at him. âWhat do you think?â
He shrugged again. He wasnât trying to be an athlete, but his telekinetic control had been improving a lot, and this could be an opportunity to hone that further. âLetâs go for it. Worst case scenario, Iâm not going to be too worried if we donât get picked, but I wouldnât mind trying.âÂ
âGreat.â Collecting a few papers, Asami said, âIâll get that classroom, and we can do the extra practice right after, if that doesnât cause an issue for anyone.â
âOh, well, I was going to go to a big party with my extensive social circle,â Daniel snarked, shaking his head. âBut it turns out, the only people who donât hate me here are you all and Jen, soâŠyeah, I think I can swing that.âÂ
It wasnât exactly true. His reputation hadnât exactly improved, but itâd been blunted as the week went on. There hadnât been any more humiliating shows, and the rumor millâwith a little guidance via Radhaâs motor mouthâhad nudged popular opinion towards âRachel is a diaper-obsessed prickâ rather than âDaniel is a weird diaper boyâ. He wasnât popular, and there were still circles of bullies and mean girls he had to avoid, but the giggles in the hall had waned.
Class began to dismiss, and the coven left their cubby, dispersing as they got ready for their respective classes. Daniel would need to find Jen so they could be potion partners together, but for now he lingered, holding back as the other students filed out, until he had a bit of privacy with Professor Blackburn.
She spotted him lingering and gave a significant glance, though her attention was focused on a notebook in her hands. Waiting until it seemed like she was at a stopping point, Daniel said, âDo you have a moment?âÂ
âHow can I help you?â she asked, an eyebrow quirking up at him.Â
âI was trying to do some research, but Iâm getting stymied by the limits on what books are available to me,â Daniel explained. âI was wondering if I could get you to sign off on a pass to get me restricted section access.âÂ
She gave him a long, level look, thoughts moving efficiently behind her gaze. âYour performance has been adequate, Mr. Aster, but not exceptional. I have no issue with ambition, but perhaps you should be focusing your efforts on your assigned work before doing additional studying.âÂ
âAlright,â Daniel said, sticking out his chin. âGive me a grade to aim for.âÂ
That got her attention, and Blackburn finally seemed to give Daniel her full attention. âExcuse me?âÂ
âIf you wonât give me the pass because Iâm not performing well enough, how well do I need to perform? Give me a target, and once I hit it, give me the pass.â He smiled, feeling confident in his gambit.
Blackburn smirked, and his confidence waned. âYou donât lack bravado, do you?âÂ
He shook his head. âI know what I want, and Iâm willing to work to get it.â
She nodded, looking thoughtfully down at him. âTell me what books you want, Iâll have them set aside for you,â she replied.Â
That wasnât what Daniel wanted, but heâd expected this. âI want to know as much as I can about the history and founding of Alphabeta.âÂ
Once again, she gave him a curious look, and Daniel found himself feeling a bit intimidated. Just by being thoughtful, Blackburn was more threatening than any of Coach Glinseâs angriest rants. âWhy is that?â
âI got in on a technicality,â Daniel admitted, letting the prepared lie do the work for him. âButâŠitâs obvious that the Dean wants me gone. Sheâs letting Glinse treat me like crap, and turning a blind eye to Rachelâs idea of âdisciplineâ. I want to know if thereâs any precedent for male students, anything I can use to defend myself if they start conspiring to have me expelled when their whipping boy routine doesnât force me out.âÂ
Glinse leaned back against her desk and set down the notebook sheâd been studying, tilting her head as she looked at Daniel. She seemed about to speak, but Daniel interrupted before she could.Â
âYouâve been fair to me, youâve only expected that I do as well as anyone else, and thatâs all I want. Fairness. A chance to learn. I donât want special treatment, or extra lessons, or for you to stick your neck out and go to bat against Madrigal.â He inhaled, chest swelling with self-assuredness. âJust give me information, and Iâll do the rest.âÂ
Rubbing at her chin, Glinse nodded. âHistory books about the school. Iâll see whatâs available.âÂ
Smiling, Daniel nodded. âThanks.âÂ
It wasnât as good as a free pass to wander the restricted section, but it might tell him what the school was built on, and what dangers were pressing down on the academy that he could prevent.
He turned to leave, but Professor Blackburn cleared her throat. âOne more thing, Mr. Aster.âÂ
Daniel turned in the doorway, frowning. âWhat?âÂ
âI said your performance has been adequate, which is true, but I shouldnât leave it unsaid. Your improvement within your coven has been exceptional. Keep it up.â The compliment was delivered flatly, and she turned her attention back to the notebook after delivering it, but if anything that made it feel more impactful. She wasnât trying to butter up his ego, it was just a statement of fact.
Pride stroked, Daniel found himself strutting down the hall towards potion lessons. Jen was waiting for him outside, and her eyes lit up when she saw him.
âYouâre looking happy,â she commented. Her glasses had been broken again, with new spell-o-tape wrapped around the center support. âCoven class went well?â
âIâm getting some books from the restricted section,â he replied. âProfessor Blackburn signed off on it.âÂ
âNice!âÂ
âShe also said that I was learning very quickly.â Blushing, Daniel rubbed at the back of his neck. âThanks for that. Your extra help has been invaluable.âÂ
Jen beamed, eyes almost closed as she radiated joy. âIâm really glad to hear that.â Leaning in conspiratorially, she added, âDid you hear what Candice was saying about Rachel?â
âNo,â Daniel said, flowing smoothly with the subject change. Jen had a habit of changing focus on a dime, and heâd learned to keep pace with her so he didnât drown in the topics flowing past. âSheâs not in my coven, you hear a lot more from her than I do.â
âThereâs a rumor going around that Rachel wears diapers, and sheâs making you wear them as a distraction so nobody notices hers.â Jen giggled. âSomeone tried to pull her skirt down in a voxavin gameâthey claimed it was just a misguided spell, but everyone was trying to get proof.âÂ
Daniel whistled. He hadnât started that lie, but rumors had a habit of growing out of control, and he couldnât help but feel a bit of vindictive joy at the comeuppance. âSounds like sheâs getting what she deserves.âÂ
âMhmm,â Jen said. âI bet if you hid a diaper in her purse, sheâd go ballistic.âÂ
Daniel thought about it, but ultimately shook his head. Rachel would know it was himâhe was the only one with diapers in the schoolâand that was just asking for revenge. âBetter not poke the bear,â he said. âRachel going ballistic means going ballistic at me, after all.â
âPoint. Shall we?â
âI think we shall.âÂ
They entered potion class, gossiping like fiends until it came time to start brewing.Â
When they were done, Daniel was chosenâprobably not at random, Professor Saito had chided them twice for giggling during lessons and causing a disruptionâto rinse out the cauldrons before taking his free period. Gloves and safety glasses donned, he stayed behind as the class filed out, ensuring nothing caustic remained in their brewing stations that would damage the school equipment.
It didnât occur to Daniel that this would result in him being left alone, until he heard the classroom door click shut. Even then, he didnât quite yet recognize the danger until he turned to see who had walked in.Â
âHey, Spark,â Rachel announced, glowering with fury. âWe need to talk.âÂ

For Research Purposes Only - Chapter Five, Making a List
Read Chapter Four here!
Melody felt a shock run through her as the suggestion left her mouth. Quickly, before Skip could respond, she added, âI mean, I think it would be good for theâyou know. Our last chapter, the one where I showed you how the knots work, it was the best one weâve done so far.â
She wasnât quite clear on why she felt so defensive. It wasnât as though sheâd ever been bashful about sex, and this wasnât even about sex, it was just about a demonstration of knots and restraints. And yet, even with that in mind, Melody was blushing.Â
She was blushing.
It was a godsend that Skip didnât acknowledge the pinkness rising in her cheeks. âOh, sureâI mean, weâd kind of already talked about that, hadnât we?â
Melodyâs heart rate settled, though confusion still kept her from relaxing completely. âDid we?â
âYou wanted to take placeholder photos,â Skip pointed out. âAnd likeâŠyou canât tie yourself up, so how else would we do that?â
âOh! Right.â Melody nodded, relieved that the faux pas had passed. âWell, this would be a bit more than that. I would want to give you sort ofâŠthe âfull experienceâ, so you can get the feelings down on paper as precisely as possible.âÂ
Skip rubbed at their cheek, thinking for a moment. âAre you okay with that?â
âYeah,â Melody assured them. âI just didnât want you to feel weird about it, you know? Iâm obviously not proposing anything sexual, but it is sex-adjacent. Iâm obviously fine, Iâm just confirming that you are.â
âIâm cool with it,â Skip replied immediately. âI mean, obviously depending on what the details are, but in a general sense? Absolutely.â
Sitting up, Melody swung her legs over the side of the bed and sat upright, walking to her closet. âI think we should start with a sort of suite of the basicsâI have a bunch of restraints, and then thereâs a million things we can do with rope. Do you want to make a list, and weâll start just knocking them out one at a time?â
Skip produced their phone, nodding along. âSureâIâll make a list. Are we going to be documenting how to do all this safely? Focusing on how it feels?â
âBoth,â Melody said, pulling out a plastic bin full of toys and scanning the contents. âSome of this is safer than others, likeâŠitâs possible to use a pair of fuzzy handcuffs unsafely, but thatâs really hard to do, while you can cut off blood flow with rope if youâre careless.â
âGotcha,â Skip said. âIâll add âtips and tricksâ to the list, too. How are we categorizing all this? Difficulty? Type?âÂ
Melody glanced over her shoulder, standing in the closet doorway. âWhat do you mean?â
âIâm just making assumptions here, but it seems like there would be easy rope bondage, and hard rope bondage, and easy restraints and hard restraints. Do we want to group together different restraints by how hard they are to do, or by what materials youâre using?â
Melody tapped a finger on her lip, chewing on the question for a moment. âBoth? We should have sections by type, because that tends to be a preference thing. Rope people really like rope, but some people just donât want to mess with it. But we can tag stuff by difficulty.â
Smirking, Skip suggested, âWhat if we used rock climbing ratings? Scale from one to ten, with decimals and plus signs and stuff.âÂ
Quirking an eyebrow, Melody looked back at them. âWhen did you ever go rock climbing?â
Skip shrugged, smile falling away. âItâs just an idea.â
âI think that works. We can workshop if and see if thereâs a better fit, too,â Melody decided, looking into her closet. âOkay, so, ropeâlots of rope stuff. For physical restraints, thereâs cuffs, which kind of get used for everything. Collars, you can also do restraints around the waist or body. Gags are a big thing, and Iâve got a spreader bar, but besides that itâs mostly just about how you combine different elements. Handcuffs clipped to a bed are way different from handcuffs clipped to each other, or to a collar, or to your ankles. Add a hard point, and youâve got even more variables.â
âSlow down,â Skip interjected, thumbs blurring as they took notes on their phone. âLetâs make a list first. Physical restraintsâwhat do you have on hand, and is there anything you donât have that we should at least mention?â
âPuh-lease.â Melody rolled her eyes, shooting them a cocky grin. âI have everything.â
Skip looked around the room and raised an eyebrow. âI donât see a St. Andrewâs Cross in here anywhere.âÂ
âEverything that fits into my room,â Melody clarified, rolling her eyes. âIf you want me to tie you to a cross, we can go to a club.â
âOkay, but thatâs a good pointâtoy use at clubs! We could have a whole chapter on that. Club etiquette, how to find them, all that.â
Melody pursed her lips, falling quiet for a moment. âYeahâŠthat might be beyond the scope. I donât want to spread out too much. This is a book for beginners and home hobbyists. Besidesâclubs all have their own rules, so weâd never be able to make a comprehensive list of every possible thing you might encounter, if people want to go to a club they should just ask the club.â Â
âAlright,â Skip said, reading their note aloud as they made it. âKeepâŠitâŠinâŠtheâŠbedroom.âÂ
Scanning all the available toys in their closet, Melody again hesitated. âOkay, Iâm just going to veto testing out impact play. I donât think youâll be interested in that, so Iâm not going to ask.â Moving on, she looked down to her other toys, thinkingâ
âHold up.âÂ
Melody stepped out of her closet, turning to fully face Skip. âWhat?â
âWho says I wonât do impact toys?â Skip gave her an acute stare, challenging Melody to try and argue.Â
âSpankingsâany impact play, really, it hurts. You wouldnât enjoy it.â Melody shook her head. If Skip lacked a sex drive, they wouldnât have any positive side effects to a sexy spanking. âAndââ
âAnd Iâd tie myself up just for fun? I do things I donât like all the time, Melody.â Skip shrugged. âMy day job isnât something I enjoy, but I do it because it pays the bills. Iâm doing things that arenât âfunâ one way or another, so if Iâm going to pick, Iâd rather do something thatâs at least creatively fulfilling.â
Melody looked back into her closet, then returned her gaze to Skip. âIâm not sure thatâs a great attitude.âÂ
Skip wobbled a hand in the air in a dismissive gesture. âBotanists probably donât love sweating buckets in the rainforest, but they put up with it because they enjoy the research.â
âSo, to you, sex is like an exotic fern?â
âMore like one of those plants thatâs interesting to look at but smells kinda gross.â
Melody snorted at the mental image that conjured. âOkay. Youâre sure?â
âI never thought youâd be the one to question my sexuality,â Skip said, deadpan.
Shaking her head, Melody began to clarify. âIâm asking if youâre sure about trying a spanking.â
Skip rolled their eyes, unphased. âIâm messing with youâand Iâm sure that Iâm willing to try it. If youâve got a stronger arm than I expected, I can back out then.â
The corner of Melodyâs mouth turned up at the challenge. âOh, trust meâitâs not a question of if I can make someone Red. I pull my punches.â
âIf you say so,â Skip decided.Â
âIf weâre doing impact toys, are we doing other pain stuff?â Melody asked. âIâve got E-stim and clamps. I donât really like needle play, so I donât have anything for that.âÂ
Skip continued to tap away at their notes. âAdding that to the list. Do you have a kneeling board?â
Melody found herself getting annoyed again. âCan I get through my list, please?âÂ
âOkay, it just seemed like it would fit on the âpain toysâ list. Also, am I going to use any of this stuff on you? I need to write it both waysâhow to take it, how to get it.âÂ
Rolling her eyes, Melody said, âIâm not a sub.â
âNeither am I, I just need to be able to write about it.â
âRight. Weâll figure something out for that.â
Facing her closet, Melody was about to move on, when another question cut through her focus.
âDo we want to get Grace to help?âÂ
âWhy would weââ Melody began, but she got it pretty quickly. âOh. Youâre thinking about adding a chapter on diaper kink stuff?âÂ
âDiaper kink and adult baby stuff. You donât do that, do you?â
Melody shrugged. âIâve been in a few scenes with that kind of play, but itâs never been my focus. The ba-ba goo-goo crap isnât a turn on, if I wanted to babysit a dude Iâd just start dating him full time.â Returning her tub of toys to its home, she added, âWeâre never going to get to cover every single kink in the world.â
âNo, but weâve gotâŠnot an expert, but at least someone familiar with the interests,â Skip pointed out. âIt could be worth exploring.âÂ
Melody shook her head. âThat sounds like weâd have too many cooks. I want this to just be written by us.âÂ
âCool.âÂ
The response felt a little flat, and Melody turned her attention back on Skip. âDo you disagree?â
âNot about it just being us, I think thatâs smart,â Skip said, eyes on their notes.
âSoâŠyou want to do baby goo-goo stuff?â Melody snorted, amused by the idea.
Skip looked up. âIs that what I said?â
Melody shook her head. âNo, butâŠokay, Iâll just bite. Whatâs your point?â
âWellâforget the diapers for a minute. Pearce bought a bunch of stuff for Grace that sounds exactly like the stuff you have, justâŠâgoo-gooâ. Is there a difference?â Skip asked. âIâm asking you to tell me here, because I donât have a clue. If youâre gagged with a pacifier, that seems like itâs the same thing as being gagged with a rubber ball, or a dog bone, or whatever. Either way, my mouth is open and I canât talk.âÂ
Nodding a couple times, Melody thought it over. âOkay, I get it. Youâre talking about the difference between the physical sensations and the headspace.â
âMaybe. What is the difference?âÂ
âWell, letâs compare being handcuffed. The experience of having cuffs on you in the back of a police car is going to be way different than being handcuffed by your paramore, because youâll be thinking about it differently.â Discarding the search of her closet for a moment, she continued, âReally, the headspace is more important than the implements a lot of the time. The point is not that youâre actually restrained, itâs that you feel restrained. And so a different gag might accomplish the same physical result, but itâs going to make you feel differently, because Grace will feel like a baby if you make her suck on a pacifier, but she wonât feel like a baby if itâs a dog toy.âÂ
Setting aside their phone for a moment, Skip crossed their arms over their chest. âSoâŠhold on. I thought the point was the feeling? You want to feel like youâre tied up.â
âNo, no.â Melody shook her head. âYou want to feel like youâre helpless. OrâŠwell, thereâs lots of ways you might want to feel, but thatâs a big one. Itâs a power exchange, not just a chance to feel what itâs like to have rope on your skin.â
Skip looked past Melody at the closet for a moment. âI guess I just donât get it.â
âI can show you,â Melody confirmed. âThatâs why weâre doing examples, right? Rope, cuffs, and we can add headspace stuff to the list.âÂ
âHow would you demonstrate a mental state?â Skip asked skeptically, tilting their head.Â
Melody didnât need to think about an answer. âI actually have something for that, but Iâll need to prep a couple things. Want to plan for a little scene once you get back from work?â
âSure,â Skip said, shrugging. âWhat are you thinking?â
âItâs simple,â Melody said, smiling as she considered the options. âI just need one thing from you.â

Daniel grumbled as he knelt, hunched over on all fours, scrubbing the brush against loose mana.Â
Glinse had made a small concession to practicality, though not to Danielâs face. When he had arrived for his punishment, he found a bucket and a full sized scrubbing brush rather than the toothbrush heâd been threatened with.Â
Still, given the sheer amount of space he was expected to clean, he expected heâd be there all night. The courts were all wide and spacious, and all were splattered with the aftereffects of dueling practice by dozens of covens.
(Just one year of this,) he reminded himself, as he lifted the brush, dipping it into the bucket. In water, the mana dissolved away, vanishing completely from the brush. A small mercy, since it meant he wouldnât need to refresh the cleaning water every couple minutes. (One year, then you can get into a proper warlock school.)Â
Thinking about how harrowing his first two days had been, it felt like a struggle to imagine himself lasting nine more months.Â
âHeya!â Jenâs voice cut across the gymnasium, echoing in the empty, unpopulated space.
Glancing over his shoulder, Daniel compulsively pulled down at the back of his skirt, worried that his prone position might make the fabric ride up too high and expose his diaper. Jen jogged across the courtyard, keeping one hand on her hat so it wouldnât blow away while she hurried to him.
Wiping sweat from his forehead, Daniel looked up at Jen and sighed. âHey. Iâm not sure if I have time to practice todayâIâve got to finish this by tonight.â
She paused, glancing out at the expanse of unfinished scrubbing. âWellâŠI mean, this is going to take hours, isnât it?âÂ
âYeah,â Daniel groaned. âAnd my arms are already getting sore.â
âSo whatâs the harm in a fifteen minute break?â Jen asked, smiling pleasantly.Â
Daniel couldnât argue with that logic, or any logic that would let him procrastinate for a while. Dropping the brush into the bucket, he stood, stretching out his back. âOkay. So whatâs the plan?â
âI think itâs easier to show this kind of magic than to tell it,â Jen explained. âEspecially if itâs kind of unintuitive for you. SoâŠIâm going to show you.â
âI donât get how a demonstration will helââ Daniel started, but his words cut off suddenly as Jen slipped her hand into his, squeezing tightly.Â
âNot a demonstration,â she corrected. âCâmon, Daniel, sit down.âÂ
He felt like a dork for being caught off guard by simple hand-holding, but it took an effort not to blush as he sat cross legged on the floor, facing Jen. She mirrored his posture, reaching into her robes to produce her wand.
âItâs like with your coven,â she said, shifting slightly to get comfortable. âI want to justâŠreach out a bit. We wonât be able to make the same sort of mental bond without a full pentagram, but you should be able to kind of get a magical sense of what Iâm doing, yâknow?âÂ
âOh, yeah,â Daniel said, his brain finally catching up to what Jen wanted. Producing his own stubby wand, he held it in his left hand while squeezing her right. âI can do that.âÂ
Closing his eyes, he extended his mental awareness through their touch, finding Jenâs mind on the edge of his own, in tandem with her fingers intertwined with his.
âCan you see the world around us?â Jen asked, and he felt her presence blink, somehow coming off as a mental rendition of a stutter that matched with her stumbling over her words. âIâehâwith your eyes closed, I mean. I know you can see it with your eyes open.â
âIf I really concentrate,â Daniel replied. âI wouldnât be confident wandering around blind, but itâs like a sort of ghost image?â
âHmm?â
âLike when you stare at a lightbulb then look away,â he clarified. âIf I know something is there, I can kind ofâŠknow where it is with my eyes shut, too.âÂ
âIâm not talking about the physical space,â she clarified. âMore, the magical energy flowing through things.â
âOh, ehâŠâ he said, trying a little harder to concentrate. Jenâs hand was warm, and he felt acutely aware of how heâd begun to suddenly sweat as they touched one another. âSort of?â
âIt takes practice, itâs kind of like trying to see whatâs in a magic eye picture,â Jen explained. âJustâŠfollow my lead.âÂ
He wasnât sure how to âfollow her leadâ when he was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, but he nodded anyway, not wanting to seem difficult.Â
As he wondered what exactly he was supposed to do, he felt a tingling sensation in his mind, like light sparkling into existence. Furrowing his brow, he concentrated on it, trying to follow the light.Â
âYou see that?â Jen asked. âOrânot âseeâ, butââ
âI see it,â Daniel replied, bobbing his head in agreement. âItâs super faint, but I see it.âÂ
âIâm kind of highlighting it, so you can pick it up easier,â Jen explained. âBut thatâs the scrub brush.â
Daniel nodded, reaching out to brush his senses against the brush. Now that sheâd pointed it out, he could feel it more clearly, outlined in his mind.
âEverything has energy running through it,â Jen explained. âWe just sort ofâŠI guess we make those bonds stronger, and then use them to control stuff. When youâre linked with your coven, itâs because youâve all bonded your minds through the energy thatâs connecting you, and when you connect with an object, you can move it around, because you magically connect yourself and become sort ofâŠone big thing.âÂ
âI know everythingâs connected,â Daniel objected. âThatâs really basic. Itâs just hard to see.â
âI wasnât saying you didnât know,â Jen replied, her grip loosening on his hand a little. âIâm just kind of going over everything I can think of thatâs relevant, ok?â
âOkay.â He shut his eyes a little tighter, trying to extend his mental senses further. With effort, he could just barely detect the threads of power connecting the brush to Jen, and Jen to himself. âWhyâs it so faint?â
âItâs not,â Jen said. âNot to me, but everyone has different levels of likeâŠawareness, I guess?â
âWell, if I canât see the power, how am I supposed to control it?â Daniel grumbled.
The connection between them severed, and Jen sat back. Daniel blinked a few times, recentering himself, noticing her frown before anything else.
âIâm just trying to help, thereâs no need to carcinize on me,â she said, immediately adding, âBecauseâcarcinization is when things turn into crabs. Uh, and I donât mean like with a spell, itâs an evolution thing, marine crustaceans have a tendencyââ
âI get it,â Daniel said, shaking his head apologetically, one hand still laced with hers. âIâm sorry for being crabby.â
âIt might beâŠâ Jen began, tapping a finger to her lip. âSo, you know how some people donât distinguish colors as well as others?â
âI guess,â he replied. âLike, you might look at two blue shirts and say that one is Cobalt and the other is Turquoise.âÂ
âTurquoise is likeâŠgreen. Thereâs no way youâd mix those up.â
âI donât know names of colors, I was just making a point,â Daniel clarified. âIs that what youâre talking about?â
Jen nodded enthusiastically. âYeah! And itâs a learned skillâyou can get better at it, but if you never practice, youâre basically, like, half-colorblind.â Â
âIs that actual science?â he asked, frowning. âNot focusing on colors makes you colorblind?â
âIâŠdonât know, but itâs a metaphor.â
âYou mean an analogy?â
âI dunno, does it matter?â Jen asked, before answering her own question. âYou get my point, so, yeah. I think you might just need to practice on seeing the difference more,â Jen explained. âHereâŠletâs connect again, and Iâll try to show you more, okay?â
Nodding, Daniel tightened his grip on her hands and closed his eyes.
Again, they linked, and as their minds grew closer, the spectral lines of power radiating from the brush grew more intense.
So did everything else.
He noticed every bit of sensation coming from his bodyâthe tingle of his skin on hers, the slight chill and warmth that came from working hard in an air conditioned room, the chafing thatâd built up around his diaperâs leg guardsâbut it was more than that. He could feel Jenâs sensations as well, a slight pressure on the bridge of her nose from her oft-repaired glasses, a little sweat built up beneath her breasts, a point of pain on the inside of her cheek where sheâd bitten down on it. He could feel her, completely.Â
The connection was more intimate than heâd expected, and as the mental embrace rolled through his mind, Daniel felt his body react.Â
Pulling his hand back sharply, he disconnected their thoughts before Jen could recognize what he was feeling. She wouldnât be able to see the growing bulge below his skirt and beneath a layer of diaper, not if she hadnât felt it.Â
âWhatâs wrong?â she asked, jolted by the sudden break.Â
âIââ Daniel started, hurrying to think up an excuse. A random erection wasnât that unusual, but until now, the general weirdness of the situation and his below-the-skirt apparel had kept that at bay, and he really didnât feel like unpacking or explaining any of that at the moment. âIt was just a lot of sensation, andâŠit felt kind of like an invasion of privacy? I could feelâŠuhâŠyou.â
âOh, yeah,â Jen said, nodding as she got it. âYou probably havenât done this much before, have you?â
âNot really,â Daniel admitted. âThere was coven practice this morning, which wasnât even really the same, and then, uhâŠthis.âÂ
âWell, donât worry about it,â Jen promised. âItâs just kinda how it goes. Iâve practiced this with my mom plenty of times, you get used to it and it stops feeling weird before long.â
âOkay, butââ
âDo you want to learn this or not?â she asked, raising a curious eyebrow. âIâm happy to keep helping, but I donât want to make you uncomfortable.â
Taking a breath, Daniel exhaled and shook his head, trying to think boring thoughts. The awkwardness had already helped kill most of the surprise boner, and he wanted to keep it that way, no matter what assurances Jen gave about it ânot feeling weirdâ.
She offered her hand, and after a hesitant moment, Daniel reached out and took it.Â
Their minds met once more, sensations passing between the magical connection between them. It felt physically intimate, in a way Daniel had trouble putting into coherent thoughts. He didnât have much experience with traditional physical contact, so adding in the extra layers of the magical connection only made it feel more alien to him, more difficult to come to grips with.
âJust follow what I focus on,â Jen said, and through her senses, he saw the world.
Magic spread out from them, spiderwebbing across the whole gymnasium like neurons. Some objects collected power, others had the magic wash over them like stones on the beach, present but not the subject of focus. He could see the way that energy puddled in the stains of yet-to-be-cleaned mana, magic lingering in the enchanted goo, and he could see how to reach out and touch it with his mind.
Extending his senses, Daniel used his magic and his wand to take the brush from off the ground. He whispered the words necessary for the spell, and at his command, it began to hover.
Smooth.
Stable.
No wobble, no struggle to keep it in place, the brush floated in place where he wanted it.
âYouâve got it!â Jen exclaimed, and he could feel her grin spreading across her face as she said it, excitement surging through her in sympathetic glee.Â
Giddy, Daniel whipped out his wand, sending the brush flying across the ground. The spell wasnât perfect, heâd miscalculated how far it would go, but though there was more power than intended, the brush still moved along the vector heâd sent it, skimming over the smooth linoleum flooring. He laughed, his own triumph coursing through him, creating a feedback loop as his emotional high met Jenâs.
âI can do this!â he exclaimed, only realizing after heâd said it what a weight that was off his shoulders. Stress and fear over inadequacy, anxiety that he wouldnât be able to get into Warlock school, it was all melting away as he found that he could control his magic with the precision and accuracy he always knew he was capable of.
âAwesome! Now do it without the training wheels,â Jen suggested, pulling back her mental link.
The lines of power faded, and Danielâs vision went with it. The brush clattered to the floor as he struggled to maintain the link, and as quickly as it had gone, the fear built itself back up, replacing the connection heâd built with Jen.
Had he even been doing the magic, or was he just riding Jenâs coattails?
A second try proved even worse, the brush was dozens of feet away and once heâd lost it, he couldnât find it again.Â
Slumping back, he opened his eyes and shook his head, pulling his hand away. âI canât do this.â
âYou can,â Jen promised. âYou just did.âÂ
Trembling, Daniel shoved himself to his feet. âI canât, and I didnât. You did.â
âI just showed you where to look,â Jen said, rising to meet him. âDaniel, all the magic? That was you. You just need to get better about tracing power, thatâs all, then youâll be able to keep up!â
âKeep up?â Daniel asked, throwing up his hands. âJen, Iâm a warlock. Iâm supposed to be able to do this better, on my own. Not barely keeping up, even while Iâve got people behind me.âÂ
Jen frowned, disappointment building behind her glasses. âButâŠitâs a step in the right direction, isnât it?â
He wanted to turn, to storm away, but the room still needed him to clean it up, and telling Jen to leave him alone didnât feel right. âA step. A tiny one.â
âWellâŠâ stepping forward, Jen laced her fingers with his, and he felt the mental offer as she said, âNobody ever ran a marathon in a day.â
âThatâs not how marathonsââ Daniel shook off the thought. He accepted the mental prodding, opening his senses to hers, and as the world lit up once more, he also felt her soft reassuring presence.
âYou can do this, Danny,â she said, and their connection betrayed no intended insultâsheâd called him Danny because it felt natural, and because sheâd forgotten he didnât like it, nothing more. âI know you can. And if you need someone to help you practice, I can do that!âÂ
He couldnât help but smile, her infectious positivity leaking into his thoughts. Feeling the scrubbing brush a few meters away, he flicked his wand and picked it up, this time dragging it across the floor back his way, cleaning up a bit of spilled mana as he did.
âOkay, howâs this for practice?â he asked. âI have this whole gym to clean, but moving the brush around with magic should be a lot fasterâcan you stick with me while I do that?â
Squeezing his hand, Jen nodded. âAbsolutely. Iâll just be right here, but youâve got this. I have confidence in you.â
Daniel wasnât sure he believed in that confidence, but Jen did, and when she said it, he felt that it was true. He could control his magic, he could build the skills he needed, he could prove himself.
He was going to be a warlock.
