When the door started to open, Flynn removed her headphones and
turned the chair around to face it. Hollis took half a step in before
he saw her, and then—his eyes focused entirely on her—went,
"Oh, sorry, wrong room!" He backpedaled and almost shut the
door before she could respond.
"Hey, get back in here!"
He hesitated a long moment, then leaned inside, partially opening the door. "Uhh—"
"It's me, dummy. Flynn? Seriously, how do you not recognize your own room?" She gestured to herself first, then, a bit more emphatically, to their surroundings.

"Oh. Uh. S-sorry, dude." Now that he was actually inside,
she could see him—slightly sweaty from running, obviously more
relaxed, and...definitely cute, judging by the way her face warmed up
while staring at him—and while he stared back. "Uhmm...
"So like, don't take this the wrong way, but you're super hot?" he said eventually.
"Thhhanks, I guess," she said, managing to mostly keep her composure despite the compliment making her heartrate jump. "You feeling a little less freaked out?"
"Uh, yeah. You know, running always helps me calm down." He went off to the bathroom to towel off, picking up some clothes on the way. "Sorry if I messed up your project."
"I, got it done once you left," she said. "So I guess you're forgiven." Part of her—which she quickly went to suppress—was very disappointed that he went into the bathroom instead of just stripping and changing in front of her like he usually had when they were both the same sex, and was also tempted to lean over and peek into the open bathroom door. He came back out before that part could argue much, thankfully.

"Uhh, man, I..I dunno what to do now," Hollis admitted,
coming back out and sitting in his own computer chair. "I still
wanna stay here, but I still wanna be a guy. And, I mean—it'd be
really awkward for me to just stay this week with you uh, like
that.."
"Like what?" she pretended to be annoyed.
"Uh, you know—female. And..hot, too." He paused for a long moment. "Maan, I must be going crazy."
"Like what?" she pretended to be annoyed.
"Uh, you know—female. And..hot, too." He paused for a long moment. "Maan, I must be going crazy."
"Yeah? How?"
"Like, I know it's just you, but..like, look at you!" he waved forward.
"I have. And?"
"I wanna do..things. Like, ask you out on a date or somethin'. Stupid, huh?"
Flynn shrugged. "Seems reasonable enough to me. Today?"
"To—what?" he half-repeated, confused.
"Like, I know it's just you, but..like, look at you!" he waved forward.
"I have. And?"
"I wanna do..things. Like, ask you out on a date or somethin'. Stupid, huh?"
Flynn shrugged. "Seems reasonable enough to me. Today?"
"To—what?" he half-repeated, confused.
"Do you want to ask me out today? Maybe for dinner?" she
clarified.
"Uhhh."
"That's really not an answer," Flynn pressed.
"You serious?"
"Sure. It's just dinner, right?" she shrugged again. "I'm a girl now, and you're a guy. You've made it pretty obvious you're attracted to me, and I feel the same way toward you. S-sooo what's the big deal?" About halfway through this her facade semi-cracked and she started blushing again.
"W-wait, you're attracted? T-to me?" He gestured toward himself.
"Thaat's what I said. Plus, we already know each other, so we can skip the awkward introductions, right?"
"Uhhh."
"That's really not an answer," Flynn pressed.
"You serious?"
"Sure. It's just dinner, right?" she shrugged again. "I'm a girl now, and you're a guy. You've made it pretty obvious you're attracted to me, and I feel the same way toward you. S-sooo what's the big deal?" About halfway through this her facade semi-cracked and she started blushing again.

"Thaat's what I said. Plus, we already know each other, so we can skip the awkward introductions, right?"
"I mean..not that I don't agree," he said after another
long, confused pause, during which he did a bunch of fidgeting in
place. "But uh...how's this gonna work? I still gotta move out,
or turn into a girl too, within a week, right?"
"We've got a whole week," Flynn retorted. "Plenty of time to figure it out later." I already have a potential solution, anyway.
"We've got a whole week," Flynn retorted. "Plenty of time to figure it out later." I already have a potential solution, anyway.
"Uh, I-I guess so," he stammered, still nowhere near used
to the idea of how Flynn looked now, much less going out with her.
"So, it's a little early, but we could just hang out somewhere
else," she said. "Unless you're already hungry?"
"Uh, nah, but—yeah. It's, um."
"Little awkward just sitting and staring at each other in here, hmmh," Flynn nodded, then hopped down onto her feet. "Let's go, then."
"Uh—w-wait. In that?" he said, pointing.
"Uh, nah, but—yeah. It's, um."
"Little awkward just sitting and staring at each other in here, hmmh," Flynn nodded, then hopped down onto her feet. "Let's go, then."
"Uh—w-wait. In that?" he said, pointing.
"Why not? It's the only thing that fits me now," Flynn
said. "Anyway, I'm decent enough."
"B-but like...your legs."
"B-but like...your legs."
"I don't mind showing them off. The real problem is, I
don't have any support for these yet," she said, prodding one of
her breasts with a finger.
"Uh—uuuhh."
"Uh—uuuhh."
"Oh, quit gawking," Flynn said calmly—enjoying said
gawking thoroughly.
"Well, maybe we should go get me some new clothes first, then.
You wouldn't mind telling me how a few outfits look, would
you?"
"Um—n-no. That's..fine with me," he said, finally standing up himself. "You're uh, not gonna make me carry around a bunch of bags, though, are you?"
"Nah. I won't buy that much today. I'd appreciate it if you'd drive, though."
"Um—n-no. That's..fine with me," he said, finally standing up himself. "You're uh, not gonna make me carry around a bunch of bags, though, are you?"
"Nah. I won't buy that much today. I'd appreciate it if you'd drive, though."
"Um—sure."
As they went out of the sorority house, Hollis said, "So
uh..what happened to like..your hair? And eyes? That's kinda what
threw me off the most from recognizing you at first—I mean
obviously apart from you being a hot chick."
Flynn shrugged. "They changed color. Apparently stuff like that is a 'common side-effect of extreme transformation magic'. At least I didn't grow a tail or wings or something."
Flynn shrugged. "They changed color. Apparently stuff like that is a 'common side-effect of extreme transformation magic'. At least I didn't grow a tail or wings or something."
"Uh, y-yeah. I think some people had stuff like that happen. You
know Mars?"
"Phone guy?"
"Yeah, he uh..turned into a fox-chick. Kitsudon?"
"Kitsune." It was nice to have him back into a normal conversation mode, Flynn thought—but also equally fun to see him sometimes glance over at her and turn away blushing. It might even be fun to tease him into being flustered occasionally, if she could be subtle enough to get away with it.

When they got to the strip mall to buy clothes, the de facto leader
of the now-sorority was sitting on a bench outside, and stood up now
to wave them over. "Afternoon, you two," Rich said
cheerfully. She was in a much more tomboyish outfit than the picture
she'd sent out with the morning's announcement, just a t-shirt and a
pair of shorts—but both clearly cut to be fairly tight on a girl's
body, and they certainly were on hers. "Planning to get some new
clothes?"
"Uh, for me at least," Flynn said, and the red-eyed girl nodded.
"Just wanted to let you know you should save your receipts to hand in later. I'll be comping at least some of our members' purchases this week which were made necessary by sudden-onset womanhood."
"That's, nice of you, I guess. Thanks."
"You're more than welcome~." After giving back a smile which was equal parts serene, cute, and somehow still intimidating, she went to sit back down again and probably await more people to give the same news to.

They spent an hour or so getting her some clothes. Along the way,
they encountered a number of people who also seemed to be with OZK,
although of course their altered appearances made it difficult to
know just who they were without asking.
A cute girl with light-brown hair had a bunch of different outfits
floating around her—so that had to be Vade—and she was
verbally prodding another girl ("Zavy"?) to try on some of
them. "No means no!" that other girl was saying.
"That is vastly out of my budget!"
"Hey, it's on Rich's dime though, right? I'll spot you till she
pays it back."
"I thought you were out of allowance this month."
"I mean, yeah, but I got savings I can pull from for special occasions..."
"I thought you were out of allowance this month."
"I mean, yeah, but I got savings I can pull from for special occasions..."
A short catgirl was literally mewling at a taller, ultra-long-haired
fox-girl. "Heheh, I guess you like that one?" the latter
said in response.
"Mow. Glad you can understand..."
"I dunno how exactly, but—yeah, me too. Anyway, I think it's pretty cute on you, too." The catgirl faintly blushed and purred in response to this.
"I dunno how exactly, but—yeah, me too. Anyway, I think it's pretty cute on you, too." The catgirl faintly blushed and purred in response to this.
At one point a very stacked, redheaded..demon girl?..ran up
to them. "Yoo, Hollis! Check me out~!" She flexed her arms
out to the sides confidently.
"Uh..yeah um....who're you?"
"Hahah, right. Bro. It's Kaden," she said, pointing a thumb at herself. "I got turned into an 'Oni', whatever that is, but it's overall pretty sweet. Oh, who's this cutie~?"
"Flynn," she answered for herself.
"Uh..yeah um....who're you?"
"Hahah, right. Bro. It's Kaden," she said, pointing a thumb at herself. "I got turned into an 'Oni', whatever that is, but it's overall pretty sweet. Oh, who's this cutie~?"
"Flynn," she answered for herself.
"Aah, Hollis's roomie, yeah? Pretty cute getup you got there,"
she said, referring to the camisole and skirt combo Flynn had just
come out of the changing room with.
"Thanks, but—I'm not sure it's really 'me', though."
"Thanks, but—I'm not sure it's really 'me', though."
"Yo, you do you. Ah!" She turned around, apparently hearing
the sound of a door to another changing room opening. "'Scuze
me. See ya later!"
By the end of it, Flynn had plenty of undergarments to work with, and
some casual stuff like shirts, pants, and shorts that fit her new
size and proportions. She'd also tried on some skirts, stockings, and
blouses, but only bought the top two or three outfits in the ranking
of what made Hollis blush the deepest when he saw her trying them on.
Ultimately, she walked out of the store in the outfit her new, girl
body had come with plus a bra and some gym shorts. This looked pretty
much identical, but had proper support and a bit more modesty in case
the shirt got pulled up by her movements or blown around in the wind.
Then they walked to a restaurant in the same strip mall for supper.
"Um. So, like..."
"Yeah?" Flynn felt her head tilt slightly. She maybe could've stopped herself from doing that, but..it was obvious he thought it was kinda cute.
"Do you, want me to pay for this? Uh, for both of us. Since you..just had to buy clothes, and stuff?"
"Well, I guess Rich is planning to pay me back for it later, and you shouldn't feel like you have to as a rule. Still, I won't say no if you're offering," Flynn said.
"Uhh—okay, then I'll offer. My treat, just this time. M-maybe uh, you could get me back later," he said hesitantly.
"I'd be happy to."
"Yeah?" Flynn felt her head tilt slightly. She maybe could've stopped herself from doing that, but..it was obvious he thought it was kinda cute.

"Uhh—okay, then I'll offer. My treat, just this time. M-maybe uh, you could get me back later," he said hesitantly.
"I'd be happy to."
They talked plenty more while they ordered, waited for food, and ate.
Hollis was getting used to her being a girl, and he was even slipping
in occasional complements now—more specific things than just
'you're hot', like how he liked her purple eyes, the hairstyle she'd
ended up with, her curves...each one made her feel very, very nice
and drew an involuntary blush to her cheeks. By the time they were
done eating, Flynn was determined to at least try what she'd wound up
researching for perhaps more of the afternoon than she'd actually
spent on the project. But first...
As they walked out of the restaurant, she sneaked over closer to him,
gently placing her small, slender hand around his. He paused in
place, looking down at the clasped hands and then to her face with a
blush, and she just quietly nodded before continuing forward, leading
him the rest of the way out of the building and then several steps
off to one side of the entrance. Finally she let go of the hand and
turned toward him, looking up at his face.
"Uhh.." If he guessed where this was going, then it seemed
like he still wasn't mentally prepared for it.
"Dating me is fun, right? You like it?"
"Y-yeah?"
"Dating me is fun, right? You like it?"
"Y-yeah?"
"I really like dating you," Flynn said. "You
wanna kiss?"
"Wh—just like that? You've been a girl for like, five hours now?"
"Less than four, but I'm not really counting," she said. "Sure. I wanna know what it feels like to kiss a guy—especially you." Maybe she'd smiled several times before now, but at this point Flynn felt her lips curl far upward into a big one, her cheeks burning with an increasingly warm blush. "You uh, feel the same way?"
"Y...yeah!" he finally admitted.
"Wh—just like that? You've been a girl for like, five hours now?"
"Less than four, but I'm not really counting," she said. "Sure. I wanna know what it feels like to kiss a guy—especially you." Maybe she'd smiled several times before now, but at this point Flynn felt her lips curl far upward into a big one, her cheeks burning with an increasingly warm blush. "You uh, feel the same way?"
"Y...yeah!" he finally admitted.
"Good.."
Hollis was still too uncertain to actually make the first move, so Flynn nodded, stepped gently forward and up onto her tiptoes, drawing her arms up around him in a hug and letting him lift her the remaining distance into the air to bring their faces level. Then she planted a kiss on his face, and immediately felt herself totally lose control. What was supposed to be a gentle, teasing smack to get him used to the idea instead turned into a deep, maybe half-minute kiss with his full participation and a soft, low "Mmm~mmh" coming from her throat. Flynn was entirely too happy with how wonderful this felt to be disappointed that she hadn't been able to follow through with her original plan of teasing him a few times before going in for a long one.

Eventually they pulled apart, both panting. "Uh, w-wow.."
Hollis mumbled.
"You're, ffh..p-pretty good..ever, hff..d-done it before?" Flynn's confident facade was basically impossible to maintain at this point, but she tried anyway, sensing that he found even the blatantly failed attempt kind of cute.
"J-just once, in sophomore year, uh, high school," he said. "Wasn't..anything like that."
"Well..." Her head tilted slightly. "W-want another?"
"You're, ffh..p-pretty good..ever, hff..d-done it before?" Flynn's confident facade was basically impossible to maintain at this point, but she tried anyway, sensing that he found even the blatantly failed attempt kind of cute.
"J-just once, in sophomore year, uh, high school," he said. "Wasn't..anything like that."
"Well..." Her head tilted slightly. "W-want another?"
"Yeah. Oh man, I bet you do, too," he said, and this
time he initiated it.
This kiss felt like it went twice as long as the first, and it was
decidedly more intense; her body squirmed a bit in his arms as she
felt one of his hands running through her long, white hair and her
own hand gripped and let go of the back of his hoodie a few times.
Eventually they stopped and both just panted breathlessly at each
other for a long moment. Flynn was grinning like a child, and felt a
soft giggle bubble out of her lips just about as her breath caught
up. "H-heheheh..!"
"D-dude, you're amazing," Hollis said.
"I know...you too," she said, reaching a hand up and briefly ruffling his hair. "H-hey, let's not get too overboard on the first date though, huh?"
"I know...you too," she said, reaching a hand up and briefly ruffling his hair. "H-hey, let's not get too overboard on the first date though, huh?"
"Um, s-sure." He was about as satisfied as she was, so he
didn't mind at all gently setting her down and taking a small step
back. They just smiled into each other's faces for another moment,
still blushing and trying (semi-unsuccessfully) to cool down from
that whole experience.
"So, listen," Flynn finally said to cut into this. "That
thing with you having to be a girl? I might know what we can do about
it."
"Uh..r-really?"
"Yeah. I did some research."
"When?"
"Earlier," she said vaguely. "Gonna have to try it back at the house, though, so...I can explain on the drive back."
"Uh..okay then.."
"Uh..r-really?"
"Yeah. I did some research."
"When?"
"Earlier," she said vaguely. "Gonna have to try it back at the house, though, so...I can explain on the drive back."
"Uh..okay then.."
In the car, she said, "You know Azoth, right?"
"Uhh, duh, who doesn't? The whole, 'no more veil' announcement and everything else since?"
"Yeah. Well, they're said to have a way to give someone the power to just go back and forth between their original form and a new one at will. Some of their original members just kinda do that all the time."
"Uh-huh...so, what, they got a spell that can do that?"
"Not, exactly. It seems like it's something that more or less only the goddess herself can grant someone. And, 'real' followers of Azoth have this entire 'spell-language' that allows them to channel prayers to her."
"Uhh, duh, who doesn't? The whole, 'no more veil' announcement and everything else since?"

"Not, exactly. It seems like it's something that more or less only the goddess herself can grant someone. And, 'real' followers of Azoth have this entire 'spell-language' that allows them to channel prayers to her."
"So we just gotta find one of those, huh," Hollis said, a
note of disappointment sounding from how unlikely that seemed.
"Maybe not. That 'language' is on the internet—her followers
put up a public wiki for whatever reason. So, I spent some time
earlier learning some of it."
"Duude, seriously? How'd you learn it so fast?"
Flynn shrugged. "It has some things vaguely in common with how a computer programming language works, but it's not really set in stone. I think I might just barely know enough for a low-grade 'prayer' that asks for something extremely simple and specific if I concentrate hard on that thing the whole time. So...she might not actually respond, but I figured it's worth a shot, at least.

So...she might not actually respond, but I figured it's worth a shot, at least.
"So, when we get back, I need you to go to whoever's offering
people that potion now and take some from them, back to our room,"
she continued.
"How come?"
"Well, it'll make it seem like you turned into a girl the way everyone else did, for one thing. But I also think there's a way to use it to make my request 'simpler'."
"How come?"
"Well, it'll make it seem like you turned into a girl the way everyone else did, for one thing. But I also think there's a way to use it to make my request 'simpler'."
Flynn carried the bag of new clothes back to their room while Hollis
went to get the potion, setting it down and going to her computer to
quickly refresh her pronunciation and comprehension one last time.
She took her headphones off and turned around as the door opened and
he walked in. "I, uh, got the stuff," he said, waving the
bottle.
"Here," she put out a hand, and he gave it to her. Then
Flynn turned and set it down on a free part of her desk.
She took a deep breath and slowly let it out. It was hard not to be
nervous about petitioning a literal goddess for something
so..admittedly sort of petty. But, Azoth was supposed to be one of
the nicer dieties of the world, so the worst she was likely to say
was no—or nothing at all, as the case might be. If that happened,
then they'd just have to figure something else out.
After spreading her hands out to wrap around the air just around the
bottle, not quite touching it, Flynn stumbled through a brief chant
in the bits of the strange, psuedomagical language that she'd managed
to learn earlier that afternoon, concentrating hard on how she wanted
the contents of the bottle to change. It was apparently normal to
need to repeat the chant identically two or three times, so she
didn't worry too much when nothing happened at first. The fourth or
fifth time repeating it, she felt some doubt if she was even doing it
right—but then, about midway through the sixth, a bright purple
glow suddenly appeared between her hands and the bottle, making her
yelp and draw her hands back in surprise. Fortunately, this didn't
interrupt anything, and the purple glow flowed right though the
bottle onto the potion itself. The liquid's characteristic rainbow of
colors faded one by one, the cool ones shifting to blue and the warm
ones to a bright pink, until its appearance was a much
brighter-glowing swirl of just those two hues.
"Whoa.." Hollis was leaning forward, watching this strange
display. It felt as if the lights of their room had briefly dimmed in
the presence of the brilliant purple glow, and the potion now seemed
to have a palpable aura of power about it. "Uh, so..it
worked?"
"I think it did," she said, nodding and smiling slightly in relief. "I mean, I dunno what else that could've meant, unless Azoth decided to punk us or something." Then, turning up toward him: "I guess you know what comes next."
"I drink it?"
"You drink it," she nodded. "And we hope Azoth really was feeling charitable today."
"I think it did," she said, nodding and smiling slightly in relief. "I mean, I dunno what else that could've meant, unless Azoth decided to punk us or something." Then, turning up toward him: "I guess you know what comes next."
"I drink it?"
"You drink it," she nodded. "And we hope Azoth really was feeling charitable today."
"'Kay..."
Hollis took the bottle and uncapped it, putting it to his lips and drinking. The bright glow of the potion seemed to follow it out of the bottle, enveloping his body starting from the lips, then spreading out across his face and the rest of the way down his body. He set the empty bottle down and looked around at himself, holding up his arms briefly and staring at the strange swirling glow of pink and blue. The turbulent motion gradually seemed to settle, the blue becoming less and less prominent until only pink was left. And then, Hollis started to change.

The turbulent motion gradually seemed to settle, the blue becoming less and less prominent until only pink was left. And then, Hollis started to change.
"W-whoa..!" He shuddered, and Flynn could see his hair immediately flowing out, a ripple of change coming down his face alongside it and leaving its skin soft and smooth. Loose, messy hair hit his shoulders and his hoodie suddenly unzipped itself, showing the loss of body hair and softening of skin continuing to make its way down; his hair was already long enough now to frame his face and touch its tips to his shoulders on the sides, and it continued to stream its way out along his back as he shuddered, clearly feeling a chill or tingle from the wave of change to his skin.
As the growth of hair (and accompanying change of skin) dipped past
his waist, another change began running from the tip of his head
downward, this time a shift of coloration. His hair brightened
instantly to a pretty, pale purple shade, and when that wave came to
the level of his eyes it changed them, too, seeming to give them an
otherworldly light-greenish glow. By now his hair had finally stopped
growing at an absolutely absurd length, mostly stopping a bit shy of
his hips but with two particular thick locks trailing a bit down his
legs, too. And—the instant the color change reached the tips of
those locks, a third wave of the transformation hit him.
"A-aa~aa, aa~aah..!" shuddering again, Hollis hugged
himself as his height plummeted a foot or so downward, his frame
instantly collapsing inward to a slender, girlish shape: Narrow
shoulders, slim arms and legs, and his face curved and rounded into
an adorable, feminine one. As a result of this, his hoodie slid off
of the suddenly-small shoulders, and his pants slipped partway off of
his hips for just a second—but then all of his clothes began to
shrink at once too. His hoodie, now more than halfway unzipped,
simply pulled itself small enough to match his swiftly diminishing
frame; his pants softened and tightened, the leggings shrinking
themselves all the way up his legs and finally stopping at the upper
thighs, showing off slim, shapely legs covered in soft, smooth skin.
"Aaa~aaah...!" As all of this happened, Hollis cried out in
initially surprise, then distress, then it slowly softened into what
was decidedly a sound of enjoyment, his small, cute face blushing—all
the while the pitch of his voice rising up, up, up into feminine
range, settling just as his height stabilized at a low soprano tone.
His shirt underwent the most drastic change of all, leaving behind
its collar as it shrank most of its material away—sleeves vanished,
the hem raced its way up to chest level, and the part that had been
attached to his collar before dipped down, all of which let it show
off a slender, soft neckline and a soft, flat belly peeking through
the mostly-unzipped hoodie. What was left behind was very clearly a
bikini top, with black straps and two little pieces of cloth in a
purple polka-dot design hanging awkwardly across his flat chest.
"Aa~ahmmnnh..!" Hollis's lips closed, and then his eyes
fluttered shut. Still hugging himself with those slim arms and small,
delicate hands, he rocked back and forth on his feet as the shorts
pulled back up onto his hips and then even tighter between his legs,
showing off an unexpectedly small bulge which now shrank even more.
"Mm~mmnh..aa—aah-aa~Aaahh..!" In no time at all, Hollis's
manhood visibly vanished away, the tight shorts pulling nice and flat
between what were now her legs. At once her hips flared out,
her thighs seeming to push the shorts even tighter as they grew
plump, and her small waist trimmed itself in at the sides even more.
"Haahh, hffh, aa~aahnn~nNNnnh...!" The transformation
didn't give her more than a second or so to try to catch her breath
before Hollis's breasts began to grow, making her face turn as red as
tomato and causing her to cry out in obvious girlish pleasure. They
swelled up steadily, making her squirm back and forth, a wriggling
that slid her thighs against each other, and softly, cutely go "Aah,
aah, aa~Aaah," until they completely filled the bikini top,
stretching its material out a bit to fit their final, medium-large
size. She let out a soft, high "Haa~aahhh.." of equal parts
relief and pleasure as the new breasts fell gently into place,
completing her change into a slim, adorable, yet still decently curvy
girl.
Slowly, Hollis lowered her arms to her sides, clenching her fists a
bit, and opened her eyes. The blush on her face had only faded
slightly during this, and as she turned her eyes on Flynn it returned
with full force.
"Uh, d-dude, that was, I, w-wow.." Flynn stood up, feeling
her own face burn with a blush too. Hollis was...so cute! She
was adorable, and pretty, and..just about half a head taller than
Flynn now, which seemed just perfect somehow.
"Y-yeah, it's kinda, an extreme feeling," Flynn agreed with
her confused mumbling. "Uh, d-did it um.."
"W-work? Yeah. I feel like I 'know' how to, um..b-but also.." Hollis took a couple of extremely careful steps toward the shorter girl, her knees wobbling. A faint blue glow appeared around her arms, then all flowed up to surround just her hands, becoming brighter and more distinct in the process. "H-hey, hold still for a sec?"
"Uh..s-sure?"

A faint blue glow appeared around her arms, then all flowed up to surround just her hands, becoming brighter and more distinct in the process. "H-hey, hold still for a sec?"
"Uh..s-sure?"
Flynn wasn't certain what this was about until the other girl pulled
her into a hug, pressing those glowing hands against her back. Then,
Flynn could suddenly feel a rush of tingling coming from the points
of contact, and her body began to stretch and grow upward.
"Aa~ah..mm~nnhh..!" It felt pretty good hugging the tall,
cute girl, but the change coming on felt even better. Flynn
grew taller, slowly picking her up in her arms, and her curves gently
flattened away. Then, all at once, the white-haired girl turned back
into a guy, letting out a deep-voiced "Aaaahh..!" as it
happened.
He was decidedly taller than before, still with long, white hair and
purple eyes, and his body remained fairly trim despite his muscles
now tightening into some decent solidity and strength. His girlish
clothes, fortunately, changed with him into a pair of boxers,
male-sized gym shorts and a tight but properly sized and shaped tank
top. "Mm~mnnhh.."
After this, Flynn was left panting heavily for a moment, the adorable girl in his arms blushing brilliantly at him from a few inches away—still holding on to him tightly enough for her new, soft breasts to press into his chest. "Uh, s-so yeah, that," she said. "I-I felt like I could um, I should..that."
"W-wow.." Now that he'd finished changing, Flynn felt like he understood how to change himself too. Azoth, it seemed, was generous above and beyond the request. Since watching the change, even as a girl, Flynn had felt something rather strong toward Hollis's cute, girly new look, and now...well, now he was feeling what any guy would toward such a gorgeous woman.

"You uh. You wanna?" she mumbled nervously. Flynn accepted
the invitation wholeheartedly, pressing his lips into hers for a
long, passionate kiss that outmatched either of the earlier ones that
afternoon. From the way she moved around, her high voice softly
crying out adorably in her throat, he knew Hollis was enjoying it
immensely, and that motivated him to keep on going until neither of
them could anymore.
"Mmnh, hff, ffh...m-man, you're like an animal,"
Hollis mumbled softly between gasps for air. "N-not that
uh..hff,, th-that's bad or anything..."
"Y-you're really beautiful," Flynn replied, running a hand through her hair. "I dunno if I could've imagined a better look for you as a girl."
"H-heheh..y-yeah, me either..this feels super nice, looking like this..the way you look at me, like this, uh, too." She planted another, calmer kiss on his lips then, letting out a soft "Mm~mnh" of satisfaction as it was returned.

"Well, this works great for both of us, yeah?" Hollis said.
"Mmh. But uh.." Flynn 'flexed' whatever it was that let him
change, and felt a faint tingling hit his body as he saw a pink glow
briefly appear around it. "M-maybe we shouldn't go too
fast?" he said in his rapidly-shifting voice. "I'd
actually, kinda like to just.."
"Cuddle together as chicks?" Hollis said, starting to get a sly grin on her adorable, blushing face.
"Cuddle together as chicks?" Hollis said, starting to get a sly grin on her adorable, blushing face.
"Y-yeah..mm~mnh!" Flynn's sex changed, and then she rapidly
regained her curves and shrank back down, having to stand on her
tiptoes to stay at eye level with the other girl. It was yet another
new feeling for her own big, soft breasts to be pressed against the
other girl's—but an at least equally wonderful one, all the
same.
"I'd uh.l-love that, too.." Hollis let go of the hug for a second. "L-lemme just, slip outta this hot thing.." She unzipped the hoodie and slid it off, leaving her upper body bare apart from the bikini top. "You want outta that?" she asked then, placing her hands on the hem of Flynn's top.

"S-sure.."
At some point, Flynn's standoffish facade had melted completely away.
Maybe it was the instant she saw the beautiful woman Hollis had
turned into. Whatever the case, she just let the taller girl help her
out of her own top, then both of them took their shorts off—revealing
a pair of tight, bright purple boyshorts on Hollis—and then the
curvy, white-haired girl was then willingly guided over to her
roommate's bed. Soon they were lying down under the covers, hugging
as close to each other as physically possible, soft legs tangled up
in each other, and blushing cheeks pressed close together. No words
really needed to be exchanged at this point, Hollis just letting out
the occasional high, breathy sigh and Flynn replying with deep,
womanly murmurs.
What was it she'd been thinking before all this happened...? That
being a girl wasn't a big deal? No, it was maybe the biggest deal
ever. And—neither of them could be any happier about it!
One question came to Flynn's mind a while later: Had Hollis only been
able to spread the blessing represented by that blue glow through her
hands a single time, to just one person? Or was it just...a thing
she could do now? Some testing would be required to find
out...but it could wait until tomorrow.
Are the stories that reference Azoth part of the Summoning universe (with Azoth presumably being an alias Zotha uses in public) or are they different ones with an equivalent goddess to Zotha?
ReplyDeleteIf people talk about azoth/zotha, it's intended to be the same Earth at different points in time (more or less). So: Midas Journal, Summoning, Aetuornos Beta, this story and a number of captions and one-off stories are all meant to be the same Earth.
DeleteMidas Journal?
DeleteThat brings back memories...
Anyway, I've been quiet lately, but I'm back now!
thisnamemistaken
I'll admit to you that the next part I have partially written for Midas Journal is actually stuck, for all things, because it would possibly spoil some things I want to reveal in Summoning first. Maybe that's a dumb reason, but I can't help it. If I'm being honest, though, an overall writer's block would probably apply afterward even if I finished that part.
Deleteooh now im coruse and want to see the events leading to the veil being anousted and what hand did everone from mides and summing had to play in it. beater then any marvle crosse over i bet
ReplyDeleteIt's probably (hopefully) not a spoiler that I hope for that to be a part of Summoning's story...if I can just manage to get over a bit of a writer's block I've been having with that one lately x_X
Deletewell im a amicer writer so if you need a bonsing off point to get past the block
DeleteOoh, it would be really interesting if Hollins could spread the blessing now.
ReplyDeleteAnd I could totally see Azoth giving her that ability permanently.
Does the sequence of the Greek letters in the chapter headings have any deeper meaning (except that it somehow limits the number of chapters to 24)?
ReplyDeleteThe order isn't meaningful, but I've tried to come up with some vague internal interpretation for why a letter corresponds to a particular character. Like: Rich is "the leader" and so "the alpha", and gets the letter alpha; theta was the two werewolves because the symbol is generally used for an angle between two lines; xi was chosen for Vade because it's a really weird looking letter and Vade is a very strange case overall. Or, pairs of letters are often used for characters with some relation to each other, like lambda and gamma look sort of like upside-down versions of each other, mu and nu look similar, tau and pi are sort of like tally marks for 1 and 2 with a squiggle over them. It's all very abstract and not something I would expect someone to guess offhand.
