But when I’m playing the pup, I get to be a bit bumbling, just have fun without worrying about what everybody thinks, except for whoever’s holding my leash. The cat gets pampered, but the pup just gets to enjoy life. Everything’s taken care of, I know I don’t have to worry where my next meal’s coming from, somebody’s going to protect me. I won’t be eating kibble unless I screw something up. It’s safe. That’s what I like about it, anyway.

Hmm. This is pet play.

Thanks! I wanted to sort of cover a lot of different angles on it, particularly the ones that would appeal most to a magically disabled unicorn and a cat who spent most of his life making Aladdin like like the middle class.

Why does Aftercare necessitate a content Warning?

Because some people just *hate* when their happy-fun-kink gets interrupted with icky talk about feelings and emotions and "hey, you okay?"

Oh - so it does relate to that one. Didn't seem like it would...

It does, in that comes after - they aren't *always* hard-core max-level kink. :-P

So the other one is roleplay or something? I didn't quite pick up on that.

The other one is role-played non-con with some serious beating as part of it.

For a moment, I kinda felt like Capper was talking to me. I suffer from some self-loathing myself. And... I am pretty tired of beating myself up. Thinking about it just makes me feel tired, but almost in a good way. Like a tension I didn't know was there has eased up. I may end up crying for all I know, which I don't do enough of.

Thank you for the amazing story. It's good to see characters dealing with their past and learning to love themselves, to forgive themselves. Gives me a bit of hope that I can too.

These two are perfect together in your writing.
