I'll tell you all, the main reason there are warnings on here is because we, as a site, make no efforts to confirm that you are an adult when you log into the site. As far as I'm concerned, some portion of the Whateley Academy target audience is actually under the age of consent for most of the US. And for the purposes of net cybercrime factors and hosting and a variety of other elements, putting stories about kids and stories with sex in them on the same site can be problematic. Because some people are asshats like that. So yes, its probably not up to the hype of the warnings we put on it. But consider that IF we had left the Google ads in place, this story would have had to be isolated like a couple others because even what little is present is 'too much' by some standards.
As to "if it has to be restricted, it shouldn't be the release" ... ya... no one is promising 100% of the time, a release per week, even if we'd like to promise 3 or 4 per week (or more, which is what it would be if I had the funds to hire and pay the authors per release). So if you feel that this doesn't count as a release because its limited/restricted? Ok. There was no regular release this week. But for those of you who aren't triggered or offended by a little dominance play or descriptions of non-hetero sex? There's a bonus story. Problem solved?

Stylistically, I found myself somewhat taken aback. I knew I had read the author as being E. E. Nalley, but the language and flow thereof I thought reminiscent of Bek. Were it not for the lack of egotistical and verbose grandstanding or scathing wit, I'd have remained confused.
To be clear though, I mean this as a compliment. It's proof positive that I don't fathom the depth of your art, so I find the rather stark contrast to your other Whateley works very much refreshing and certainly a credit to your ability.
Now this piques my interest as for some reason I recall an offhand comment (either in a story or here in the forums) that intimate relationships of Whateley students have a greater ratio of lasting than non-mutant counterparts. Of course, I might have entirely fabricated this.

I'd imagine that being the center of attention of someone who's almost supernaturally attractive, and an empath as well, might feel just barely on the angels' side of addictive.

It's more a function of the various syndromes Mutants are subject to and their amplified teen-aged emotions. While the sample size is so small to be statistically irrelevant to the world at large, or even the Mutant community, there is a fair amount of anecdotal evidence that relationships at Whateley do tend to last. It is more likely to be just a question of when two click, they really click and when they don't they spectacularly don't...
As for reading like Bek, well, NO ONE can withstand Scathing wit of THAT magnitude!
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

Uh huh. Now picture an empathy driven/triggered Shifter sharing a room/wing/dorm with a Sidhe wizard/empath, an extraplanar being of lust, and... well... I think even just that is far enough. There's a reason Fling's arrival at Whateley is still 'down' the timeline.

Monday night, I was not expecting, and was not in the mood for a NSFW story. But having read EE's entries into the Caregivers and Erinyes stories, I wasn't opposed to it. Just not in the mood Monday. But I did get around to reading most of it Tuesday night and finished it at work today...on my phone of course.
I liked it. A lot. I love Whateley "world building" side stories that don't take place at the Academy. Those are the types of microscenes I love to write myself. You have the framework of the universe, and can really have fun with the constraints.
My big takeaways were this:
- Whateley is accepting. New England is accepting. New York is accepting (Kayda and Debra ♥). Atlanta is accepting. But the administrative government of Georgia and the US are not. This story reiterated that the WU is not as accepting as our 2018 reality. IRL, it was basically only Massachusetts and Canada until well into the intermediary and Gen 2 timeframe. Gen 2 has hinted that even then, the WU hasn't gotten to that level of acceptance or indifference.
- Imp's stories started to bring it up before, but there's a huge segment of the Active MGC population that has either no idea what is happening to them or that has no idea that the Academy exists. From a practical standpoint this makes sense. There's only so many student slots available, and the school's secrecy is what keeps it safe. So I love seeing what "outsiders" see as a missed opportunity for them. Sometimes they're bitter. Sometimes they're disappointed. Sometimes they feel regret.
- OMG...I loved greek mythology in high school. The Bellerophon-Philonoe reference was lovely, It does make me wonder...was there a "Greek Hero" phase among the Whateley Exemplar Alums prior to the New Olympians showing up?
