there was a small blue duffel bag resting at her feet. Perched atop it was a small envelope, upon which was written but a single word in flowery penmanship: Button.
Dat letter. That was something. They finally form some weird bonding relationship, and then this happens. Yeah, Button is going to be feeling a lot of confusion, betrayal, anger, and more confusion it seems. But, despite what the moral is trying to show, I can't help but feel he lost two good friends there. I'd share Button's confusion as well at that point.
How does one fix what think itself not broken? Even if he went back to Button, what would he do? He's always been a major recluse. I suppose he could take some of that confidence training and try a new life as a more girly stallion.
But if he chooses to continue his current life style and go all the way, what then? Will she be tempted to seek DT and SS after the realization of all the stuff she thought she had forgiven, feeling as if the good outweighed the bad, would Dee want to even associate with the ones who abused her and would they even consider taking her back in, even as a normal friend, considering what might happen should they or Dee be tempted again to be filmed?
All in All, a good chapter, if a bit preachy in some parts. I get this is all supposed to be seen as bad, convince us its bad, and Button/Dee needs help, but it almost felt like we're supposed to dislike what Button has become. Mainly due to Sweetie Belle's interpretation of how 'Dee' was nervous about touching her penis before going at it. Sweetie sure had an interesting view of things. But she's right about one thing, Button/Dee has a problem: They have a fear of being hated, to have someone who he had a crush on not want to reciprocate the same 'love' he gave.
I believe Dee put all their heart into servicing their foalhood love in ways he had only wished he could as Button, only to find she wanted nothing to do with him. He wasn't good enough for her. He felt used. Betrayed. He felt he did something wrong, maybe could've done more for Sweetie? Why wouldn't Sweetie love him back?
Button still has the insecurity thing, felt worthless as a colt but now feels like he can get more love and respect as a mare. Would be interesting to see this story go on long enough to see what life would be like if he stopped taking the pills. Work through his insecurities. Get an even taste of both worlds before he came to a decision.
Anyhow, I'm just babbling to myself on that last part, don't pay too much mind to anything here really. Wanting to be something more than you are given in life is complicated when said things are wanting to be the other sex becomes a real option over how it was once then only considered fantasy. Hope for the best for Button. Life just got a whole lot complicated for him. Makes me wonder how Silver and Di feel about stuff.
Oh, and Twist...such a nympho. xD Hope she doesn't end up needing a name change. ;3
Anyhow, nice chapter. It could of gone all sorts of ways, but this was rather pleasant.
You said this was an awkward transition chapter, but I thought it was quite enjoyable. I'm looking forward to when Sweetie and Button sit down and talk about Button's changes. Also glad to see Diamond and Silver not being total scum, It gets kind of old when everyone portrays them as evil little hellions.
I guess people have already said it, but I'm gonna say it again: Is Button/Dee fixable? Part of me wants to see that at least Silver would actually has remorse for what she did to Button, but there is also that part of me that is convinced that this is a trick...and it's just a way for Silver and Di to not get expelled. And I do hope that Sweetie Belle is able to at least help him on the road to recovery.
Another thing that I have noticed is that all this events seem to lead to who Button thinks he is, essentially a nerd, a loser, just somepony there to be trampled on (social commentary, not my opinion). A complete lack of self confidence, and as a result, self respect. Button said it himself: He felt that it was better to be a crossdresser instead of being unknown and forgotten...
I honestly wonder if there is ever any hope for Button to get his confidence and self worth again. I'm afraid that at this point Button's a suicide watch right now in my humble opinion.
4470626 Honestly? This story in particular was never intended to be just some weird smut. The first story, Buttonette? Yeah, that one was written as a form of stress relief, but I felt I could make it more, hence this sequel. Writing clop is all well and good when it gets you followers, but I don't want to be one of those authors who writes clop just to get attention; I'd like to think that people read my work because it is meaningful to them for a reason other than 'I can clop to this'. You know?
That isn't to say that I won't be writing more sexually explicit content, mind you; it's just not a primary focus of most of my work.
4470790 I didn't mean for it to sound like that. It's clear from all the character development you've put in that you want this to tell a deep story and that's great. I really don't see too many stories like this one so at first I expected it to be shallow but then I continued reading and I was like "Huh, this is interesting" I meant no disrespect with my first comment.
...maybe I'm just getting confused, but you keep changing the description of the characters. The first chapter was designed to make them appear as EQG style, with hands. This chapter mentions 'hoof' (hooves).....please be more aware of what you are writing, my head is hurting making all these mental corrections and trying to read on. I enjoy the plot, but the characterizations keep changing chapter by chapter.
4497699 Somebody has never heard of a satyr. Satyrs are actually a commonly used in-between anthropomorphism of the ponies. They're bipedal and have hands, but they have hooves, a tail, and depending on the mind of the artist/writer, equine ears. derpicdn.net/img/2013/5/23/331824/large.jpeg Using this chart, the characters are a 4 on the anthro scale. That clear things up a bit for you?
I am absolutely loving this story. There's a ton of 63, there's a tonne of futa, but there is little to no trans even with the joke that Rarity is actually a guy. At least in terms of clop. I am really looking forward to the rest of this story and what happens between the lot of them, and while I'm hoping Button makes the right choice and thia doesn't get dark[er] I 100% MUST so some Twist clop scenes. MUST!!! She is my second fav right behind Silverspoon. #GirlsWithGlasses Humanised [anthro whatever] pale-white slightly fat redhead with glasses. This is literally my dream woman.
4541840 I'm not sure if Stockholm Syndrome is the exact effect in this syndrome, but there is definitely some traumatic bonding and codependency issues going on.
Okay, you two seem to have a better grasp of what is going on here, so could you explain it to me?
Button hates being Button. As a toy he was something that was wanted, and eventually even someONE wanted--perhaps even loved. As Dee he was starting to become happy. He is not transsexual in the usual way, but Dee is a person that he wishes to be more than Button. The more he is Dee, and by extension a girl, the more loved and respected he is by the people around him, including himself. The anal sex at the end of every session is not only a confirmation of being Dee--someone who is and does "good"--but also that he is worthy of getting something that does not pleasure DT or SS, and is solely for him. However, this is where I lose it. Sweetie is not into anal, and I get that Button thinks that he failed at being Dee because Dee would have had a pussy for Sweetie and not just a butt, but...why did he break down? Didn't his mistresses just say that this was his reward? To get his first time alone? It was on camera, but not a butt-fuck porn script, right?
*takes a deep breath*
sigh~
Okay. Yup. Here goes nothing. Chapter 3...what awaits beyond that last cliffhanger...so nervouscited I am!
Alright, I think I got this. No. I GOTS THIS.
Okay, chapter 3. Lets do this!
I must be strange because I was wishing that this chapter was longer.

I had that same feeling...
Dude, i'm loving this!

I like the struggles with identity
To fall beneath a morality
perceived only by those you were never to know;
to wither away into a darkness,
erasing all life unto despair.
Awaiting further releases.
this is all so real...loving it still.
Whoa.....

This is awesome. I humbly await more, O Great One.
Did this story just turn into a look at the human psyche and not just weird smut? My interest is peaked...continue.

I know what a satyr is, I just couldn't figure out that was your choice.
I am absolutely loving this story.
There's a ton of 63, there's a tonne of futa, but there is little to no trans even with the joke that Rarity is actually a guy. At least in terms of clop.

She is my second fav right behind Silverspoon. #GirlsWithGlasses
Humanised [anthro whatever] pale-white slightly fat redhead with glasses. This is literally my dream woman.
you know im actually looking forward to him makeing the full transition
4498018 i cant wait to see what happens with button. Im going to hazard a guess and say that Stockholm syndrome is one of the effects at play here.
4541840 I'm not sure if Stockholm Syndrome is the exact effect in this syndrome, but there is definitely some traumatic bonding and codependency issues going on.
4564605 *pumps fist* "yes!"
4509662 There's not really a "right" choice to make in this situation, but yeah, I'd love to see some clop in this story too.

Biggest lie of the decade.
