A Road Paved With Umber

by JuniperBot

Summary:

Susie, a regular old janitor at a waste management plant, encounters a symbiote during her night shift. This is Umbra, a flirty symbiote, who doesn't know her origins, and seems to like Susie quite a bit.

They're going to change the world together. ...And its probably going to involve a lot of weird sex, and overtly political content.

Chapter 2: >>SYMBIOTE

Susie was having an absolutely foul day. What made this an extra unpleasant day? Overtime, plus the night shift at her dead end job. She worked at a hazardous waste management facility… which sounded like it should pay well, but she was just a janitor at the place.

Overtime, because the place was so poorly managed that the other “professionals” here were absolute morons around said hazardous waste. Seriously, standards here were so low, it felt like this company was based in Gotham of all things, rather than Seattle. The only time anyone had actually gotten fired for said unprofessionalism was after the ‘Asbestos Piñata’ incident. It had a name, which was how bad it was.

The only upside was that pretty much no one was here this late. Just her, her music, her extremely uncomfortable jumpsuit, the awful mess that she had to clean up, and dozens of dozens of barrels of dangerous chemicals. …Speaking of barrels, one of them was knocked over, oozing some black liquid.

Holy shit, that’s bad! She quickly glanced at the fire diamond, and she sighed in relief seeing that it was stable, and wouldn’t be eating through any floors anytime soon. Susie still grabbed her gas mask and put it on, just in case. She grabbed the rim of the barrel and started to pull it back up, but she stumbled back in surprise. It moved, almost in response to her own movement.

“That’s… weird. Is this stuff like, non-newtonian or something?”

It looked weird, and acted weird, which wasn’t out of the unusual for materials here. What was weird, was how it obviously, genuinely started moving towards her. It was flowing with intent out of the barrel, and into one cohesive, black blob.

Was it… alive? Susie couldn’t decide whether she should flee or fight, so the hidden third option was decided for her: freeze. She couldn’t move, despite something inching towards her. It was just… weird looking. A moving, swirling mass of thick, shiny, black goop. If she didn’t know any better, she would compare it to a symbiote from Spider-Man.

She finally managed to get some feeling in her legs, and desperately tried to step back. The thing lunged, and attached itself to her feet. They were held down with shocking strength.

“Oh no… oh no oh no oh fuck-” She was instantly terrified. This should not be happening; this shouldn’t be happening! Stuff like this doesn’t happen! This isn’t some monster movie, this is real life!

It wasn’t content with staying at her shoes, unfortunately. She whimpered as it started climbing her legs. Susie suppressed a shudder when it passed over her parts. If she wasn’t thinking this thing was probably about to kill her, she would have found the feeling of it flowing up her very nice.

This probably wasn’t a good idea, but… She carefully brought her arms down, and tried to push the ooze thing off of her. As expected, her hands just sunk in and got stuck. The thing rumbled, as if it was laughing. Great, she was about to die and was getting laughed at. What a day.

Her rapid breathing struggled against her mask. It was slowly approaching her neck. It flowed like a liquid, but it didn’t leave any sort of residue behind, oddly. Just… a cool rubber feeling against her jumpsuit.

A million thoughts went through her head as is had nearly reached her head. ‘Does this thing think? Feel? Just how alive is it? Fuck, please don’t kill me. I haven’t told Hazel how I feel yet!’

Susie quivered, as it entirely covered her gas mask. It seemed to be… examining it? She felt tiny points of pressure go along the mask, as the creature felt it up. Did it think that was her face? She yelped as it strongly grabbed onto the sides of the mask, seemingly having an ‘ah-ha!’ moment. Oh, shit! The filters!

She had hardly a moment to yell out, as viscous fluid pressed against her gas mask’s two filters, rapidly carving their way through the internals of the cartridge. The ooze that was attacking her suddenly broke through her mask, slapping against her lips, and wriggling to enter her mouth. Her tongue just felt confused at the sudden newcomer: it tasted like Twizzlers. Yes, really.

A realization was made: it wasn’t trying to eat her (probably). It wanted inside her. For some unknowable reason, it was desperate for it.

…Was this sex? That felt like a silly thought to have in the moment.

She gasped when much more suddenly flowed in, forcing her mouth open with a deluge of sweet tar. God, it was thick. Susie could barely suppress a gag as it now forced its way down her throat, pushing straight down into her stomach. The creature roiled on the outside, forcefully pushing itself through the holes in the vulnerable girl’s gas mask.

Her hands were limp at her sides. All she could do was sit there and let the invader invade her insides. A heavy pit was forming in her stomach where the thing was flowing into. Except, she could feel… something slowly permeating through her midsection. She realized, whatever it was, it was spreading throughout her body.

She could barely breathe, only just managing to catch breaths in the lull of its flow, but. But. Despite how scared she was. It felt good. Really good, she realized. A thick… being, stretching her throat to its limits, filling her stomach with its essence. The odd, warm radiance flowing through her body.

Susie moaned. She moaned, to some weird alien blob, or mad scientist’s experiment. An unknown creature was invading her and she loved it. The girl fell to her knees, the being’s support fading as more of it entered her. Her legs shook. Oh fuck, she was cumming. Her girlcock spasmed, and filled her panties with wasted seed.

It was small now, maybe the volume of a watermelon. The rest was inside her, and spreading. She felt a weird tingling throughout her lower body, just as the last of the creature entered her with a lewd squelch. Susie gasped, finally able to get a full breath in. She coughed, and braced herself with her hands on the floor.

“Fffuckkkkk… What’re you doing..?” She had to assume it was at least somewhat aware, it seemed too purposeful in its invasion of her. Her hands found her tattered gas mask, and tore it off of her face. With an added moment’s hesitation, she unzipped her jumpsuit.

A black sheen of… something was spreading from her tummy. Susie gingerly brought a finger out to touch it. It was smooth, like latex, and was very slightly sticky. She felt the covering, as if it was her own skin. Holy- was this actually a symbiote? She shivered in excitement. That… would be the opposite of terrifying to her.

It steadily moved outward across her body, leaving a shiny reflective coating behind. It was mesmerizing to watch. It went up to her breasts, covering her nipples with the same uniform texture. The new host groaned, as the latex spread over her cock, giving much more sensation than the other areas. She leaned back to look at her parts, moaning in pleasure as the symbiote covered her cock and balls. It left just a smooth, circular bulge of rubber where her parts were.

She brought down a hand to rub it, and oh my goodness her bulge was sensitive like this! Susie idly touched her bulge (…null-dge? Its not like she’s actually able to touch it), and barely noticed that the symbiote had reached her head. She just felt coolness creeping up the back of her head. It felt like it was building up in the back of her head. She gulped, as she realized what it was about to do. Her skull. It didn’t seem to be able to penetrate bone easily.

KRACK!

It was heard, rather than felt, that the symbiote entered her skull. Forcefully. And yet, it hadn’t hurt at all. She shivered. Eughhh, it entering her brain felt weird. She would be the first person to have living goo enter her brain, evidently.

A bolt of lightning went through her nervous system. She gasped in surprise. There were new feelings, right next to her’s. New thoughts, even. She nearly lost track of where she began and ended.

She gulped. It was sapient. “H-hello?”

A deep, feminine voice dominated her thoughts. ‘Hello to you too little human! Not much of a struggler, are you?’ She felt a weird tingling in her head; it felt like the invader was… searching? ‘Ah, Susie! There we go. Lovely name. Oh. Oh goodness, you enjoyed that quite a bit, didn’t you? That’s rather cute~”

It knew her name. It could read her memories. Her thoughts. She tried to stand up, and found much more strength in her limbs than expected. Her now pointless clothes slid off of her. Susie looked down, and just saw smooth, inky blackness covering her body. “What… are you?”

‘I’m… not quite sure myself, frankly. All I can remember is being in that barrel for who knows how long. It was just a few hours ago when, I assume one of your coworkers, tipped over the barrel I was trapped in. And then… I found you. My instincts told me to, well, merge with you. Apologies for it being so, ah, forceful. I haven’t done it before, I believe.’

“So… you don’t know what you are. Weird.” Huh. Maybe the barrel it was in would have some clues. Actually… wait. “Do you have a name? Oh, and pronouns? Now that I know you’re, like, a person, it feels rude to call you ‘it’, assuming those aren’t your pronouns.”

She could feel the goopy gears of her passenger’s mind whirring. ‘Hmm. I don’t have a name. She and her pronouns, I think. Let me think on the name for a bit.’

And just like that, her guest went silent. This day was weird. Janitorial duties forgotten, she investigated the suspicious barrel. On the label, the only relevant information read:

“ECLIPSE INDUSTRIES (SUBSIDIARY OF MACROWARE)”

Weird. She’d heard of Eclipse Industries, they researched a lot of experimental biochemicals, many of which happened to end up here. The average person wouldn’t really know about them, to them the most notable fact would be that they’re owned by the leading PC manufacturer in the world, Macroware.

‘I’ve decided. Umbra. Find anything, Susie dear?~’

Her tone was normally… very flirty, it seemed. Not that she minded, since the girl was practically the horniest she’d ever been.

A giggle rang out through their mind. …She forgot Umbra could read her thoughts. Oops. Susie shook her head. Anyways. “That’s a pretty name! Umbra. Fitting. Well, all I found was where the thing came from. ‘Eclipse Industries’. That ring a bell?”

‘Not in the slightest, unfortunately. I suppose that’s something we can investigate later. Ah, well… I could attempt it on my own, if you would rather we part ways… I did force this upon you after all, Susie.’

“No!-” Okay, that was way more passionate than she intended. “I mean… You don’t seem to be malicious at all! I’m really curious about you honestly, Umbra. And, you’re a symbiote! That’s awesome as hell!”

‘Mhm. More than just ‘awesome’ to you, I think. I can feel your body, you know. Once you realized I wasn’t going to hurt you, you started pitching a tent in my coating~”

She was breathing hard. Susie could feel her own husky breaths forcing their way out of her latex covered gas mask. (…Gas mask? She thought she took it off.) If she wasn’t covered in a certain being, she would be soaked. She had to change the subject, or she would also turn into gay goo on the floor. “M-maybe! Anyways. Um. What now..? This is crazy, but I still have work unfortunately, Umbra…”

The symbiote seemed disappointed, but understanding. ‘Unfortunate, indeed. We can continue getting acquainted when you’re done, cutie~ I’ll go dormant for a bit, leave you to your own devices. Before that however… A little parting gift~’

She raised her eyebrow at that. What did she..? She could practically feel Umbra poking at her brain, and it seemed like she found what she wanted. Her breath hitched as a mind-shattering orgasm just appeared. Her fingers scratched against the floor uselessly as her bulge shot out spurt after spurt of cum and filled her nulldge. Susie screamed. She was lucky no one was here.

Her breathing heavy, she collapsed back onto her discarded jumpsuit. What was that? Her vision was swimming!

‘Good girl~’

And just like that, Susie could feel Umbra relaxing, and going deeper into her mind. At the same time, the latex-like substance began to recede, leaving her mostly naked. Somehow, she was completely dry around her crotch. The substance all came back to one point: her neck. It formed into something circular around her neck. She curiously brought a hand up to feel whatever it was. A necklace..? Her eyes widened with realization. A collar. Umbra was a collar around her neck.

…She was wet again.

 

---

 

Susie had the rest of her night shift to go, after she got dressed again and found a replacement gas mask. Surprisingly, it went by easily. She was usually fatigued with everything she had to do, a bit of pain following her for the entire shift.

This time however, she was fine. More than fine, even! She finished everything she had to do by the halfway point of her shift, and she wasn’t even trying to rush. Clearly, she got some pretty serious strength, speed, and stamina improvements from Umbra. Susie felt a tiny rustling in her mind, as if her symbiote was checking if she was needed following her mention. She quickly receded again.

Umbra was true to her word with leaving her alone during her shift. She just felt an, oddly pleasant, distant presence in her mind as she sweeped, wiped, and tidied up the facility. She could really appreciate the time to process everything. This was a lot, even if it seemed to be a good thing.

What would they… do? She didn’t exactly want to be a super-hero. Be a caped weirdo, beating up poor people, getting into beef with lame ‘villains’, and not address the actual problems with the world? No thanks. What else, though? It felt like a waste to not do something good, with Umbra’s help.

They would investigate where she came from, at least. That could be really important. And, she was very curious herself. Though… She shivered. Symbiotes in the hands of corporations? They definitely had to look into that.

Another thing… should she tell anyone about Umbra? Like the rest of the super-hero stuff, she didn’t get not telling anyone your secret! More allies are good and, well, it just ruins relationships to have a big secret, regardless of what it is.

She would tell Hazel, she decided. …If Umbra was okay with that, of course.

Susie finished resealing the giant container of spilled glitter (Yes, glitter is at a hazardous waste facility. Did you know some people get blinded by glitter? Glitter fucking sucks.), and she was done. She stretched, fully out of reflex. Her body wasn’t winded in the slightest.

She was done. Thanks to Umbra, that was the easiest shift of her life. Even if she didn’t do anything special with it, having a symbiote certainly made things more pleasant. Rare delight filled her, as she clocked out for the day. She had the weekend off after this! And she could hang out with Hazel all weekend!

‘And, we could get to know each other better, Susie~’

“Meep!” She practically jumped out of her skin! “Umbra! Hi!”

The symbiote giggled inside of her. ‘Sorry for the fright! I saw you were done with your work, so I thought it would be a good time to come back out~ I must say though… It is odd the sorts of messes you’re made to clean up here.’

The girl nodded, with an amused smile, as she stepped out of the building. “You can say that again. Glitter is pretty normal. At least it isn’t radioactive. Or asbestos. Or bromine. Those days are the worst.” She snorted, remembering that one time that a container of some extremely potent acid was broken. The floor melted, and that sent dozens of chemicals tumbling into the basement, each of them reacting together to make some kind of thousand-degree radioactive floor slop mixture. It also had glitter in it, which was almost worse. “Anyways. What’ve you been up to?”

‘I’ve just been exploring your brain a bit, while watching you work. Much cozier in here than expected! I am certainly glad it was you that I found, and not one of your coworkers I saw in here! Especially Brayden. Eugh. I wasn’t even aware of the word bigotry until I saw him in your head.’

Susie sighed at the mention of that man. He was the one coworker here she actually, truly hated. “Yeah. He’s a super transphobic, big republican, ‘tough guy’. I don’t see him much thankfully. Our shifts barely ever line up.”

‘If you run into him again, I’ll deal with him.’

That was… menacing. “Just… don’t kill him, or anyone else alright? I don’t feel like you would but… Please?”

‘I won’t. I promise, Susie. I’m not like that Venom creature you have a fascination with; I don’t just eat people I don’t like.’

They were almost home. She fumbled for the keys for her apartment in her pocket. “That’s good. I would feel awful if we made anyone die, even if they’re awful people. Also… in terms of things we can do, what are your thoughts? It would feel like a waste if we didn’t do anything to help anyone.” She put the key in her door, and turned the knob open.

‘Hmm. I was listening to your train of thought earlier, so I do have some thoughts of my own. First, “fighting crime” sounds like a silly course of action, I concur. Beating on the homeless and impoverished is not exactly noble. I think, our course of action will likely become more clear once we learn about my origins… and if there are more of me. But, that can wait for a bit~’

She stepped into her apartment. Almost immediately, her umbral collar melted, and quickly traveled up and down her body. An intense shiver ran through her whole body, as her skin was replaced with slick latex. Her arm braced against a wall, helping her not fall over from over stimulation. “Fuck. Is it that intense for you too?” She had to get to a mirror.

Umbra growled with lust, and spoke from her own lips. “Very. It feels so right. Its like… a hug across every one of my atoms, but even more intimate. You’re such a good host, Susie~” It was surreal hearing her voice coming out of her mouth.

Susie groaned at the praise from her symbiote. It felt so good to be a good host for her symbiote. …Did Umbra put that in her head? Whatever, they both clearly knew she was into it.

They stumbled into Susie’s bedroom, nearly tearing off their clothes. They could each feel their overwhelming lust for each other, bubbling and roaring in the cramped space of their shared mind. They looked into their mirror and oh my god. They looked absolutely fetishistic. This was not how she expected a symbiote to look.

She looked more like a drone, that she would see on Twitter sometimes. Completely smooth latex caressed her curves (she suspected Umbra was enhancing their proportions a bit), and covered the larger details of her body. The prominent features she could see were: the sensitive null bulge Umbra gave her, a darker glass-like visor over her eyes, and the simplified shape of two gas mask filters over each side of her mouth.

The apparently drone-coded girl could barely think. “W-why do we look like this?”

Umbra laughed. “Well, when I was merging with you, I simply looked through your head and chose the form you would like the most! Would you like us to look different? Up to you~”

The drone in the mirror rapidly shook her head. “No! This is… really hot. We’ll definitely need a different form if we’re going out, but. Holy fuck Umbra, you’re gorgeous. Thank you for this.”

The symbiote sputtered in her head at the sudden complement, before recovering. ‘T-thank you! I’m glad you like our form so much, Susie. Speaking of, why not put it to good use?~”

Susie giggled. Apparently the flirty symbiote had her own weak points. She was interrupted from her amusement by her hand suddenly shooting down, and caressing her bulge. Umbra’s puppeted fingers stroked, one by one, across her sensitive nullified crotch. “O-oh fuck!” It felt like one giant clit. Susie slowly fell forward onto the full length mirror, no longer able to support her own weight. Her hand unwillingly cupped her nulldge, and began quickly rubbing and squeezing her whole package. An absolutely lewd image was produced in the mirror: a latex drone, letting out husky, mirror fogging, breaths through her gas mask, aggressively rubbing her own bulge.

‘Good girl! Good drone. Such a good fucking drone—’ It feels so good being a drone. Wait wha- snip! Good drones don’t need to think. Why- snip! Good drones OBEY. I- snip! Good drones obey Umbra.

I’m a drone. That’s right. Good drone. I’m a good drone. A very good drone.

They each had a mind numbing orgasm roll through them. The Susie drone blankly moaned and bucked against her bulge, making the rolling waves of pleasure slam into Umbra, sending her into her the first orgasm of the symbiote’s life. It was too much for either of them, collapsing into a sex-addled heap on the carpet. The last thought Umbra had before falling asleep was, ‘I hope that wasn’t too much for her. I may have gotten a bit carried away…’

Chapter 3: >>AFTERCARE

Summary:

Susie wakes up. Plans are made. Hosts are fed.

Susie had turbulent dreams. Dreams of gnashing metal, and flowing black rivers. Dreams that ended almost as soon as they began. Dreams that desperately tried to call out for her, in the black box of her mind. Dreams, in which each time a new iteration of the same face greeted her. A formless, shifting face. A fake face, that only seemed more distorted with each iteration.

She snapped awake, gasping and clawing at her bed sheets. She was shaking. She didn’t know why. The girl looked down at herself; Susie didn’t remember getting to bed. She was naked, with not a scrap of latex on her. Her blanket was tossed on the floor, probably during her weird dreams. An awful feeling settled in her chest, and she hesitated for a moment. A shaky hand came up to grasp at her neck, and it found nothing. No collar.

Umbra was gone. She couldn’t feel her in her mind either, not even the pleasant haze she felt when her guest was dormant.

A hiccup forced its way out of her chest. She couldn’t help the sheer anguish that forced its way through her. She cried. She cried. She fucking cried her heart out. Was that some kind of fever dream? Was Umbra not even real? …Or, had she left her? Left her like everyone else did?

Exclusively through dehydration, her tears eventually stopped. Susie felt dreadful. Somehow her usual chronic pain she felt was compounded, being absurdly more potent than usual. She was hit by a truck across her body all at once, making her now whimper out in sheer pain, rather than the anguish of a moment ago.

It was never this bad, even when stress made it worse. She needed to do something now.

Susie stumbled clumsily out of bed, forcing down bile. She felt almost hungover too, what the hell? Maybe she would get takeout. Get high, maybe. Or drunk. Or both, she hadn’t done that before! Hazel would be sad she wasn’t there… They hung out practically every weekend! But Susie couldn’t bear to be around another. It would be impossible to explain the miasma afflicting herself.

She put on a set of pajamas, just for comfort. Not that said comfort would help much. Susie lumbered out of her bedroom, and was struck with the intense smell of breakfast. Bacon and pancakes. Someone was cooking in her kitchen.

Despite her body’s protests, Susie rushed into the kitchen. Umbra!

Moving across her kitchen counter was… an odd sight. Umbra was sliding across the wood, flipping bacon and pancakes on her gridle. Her form was very clumsily manipulating a spatula, but she was clearly being incredibly careful to not drop anything.

Susie’s voice strained to exit her throat. “U-Umbra! I… thought you’d left.” Tears pricked at the edges of her vision.

The symbiote jumped up, surprised her host’s voice. Umbra just… gurgled in response. Could she not speak without a body..? She made a motion similar to shaking her head. The spatula was placed to the side as Umbra leaped at Susie.

Unlike their first time merging, Susie just felt pure joy seeing the symbiote approach her, rather than fear. Her arms opened wide, accepting Umbra, the symbiote, back in to her body. Her mind. Her very soul.

Umbra softly impacted against her chest, and slowly embraced her. This merging was different. It felt like her symbiote was a warm, cozy blanket that just wanted her safe, rather than the mind-melting pseudo-sex of their first time. She was slowly permeating through her skin, allowing her body to gradually gain a shiny, black color, rather than just jumping down her throat. Maybe she didn’t know how to do this before.

Her pain faded. Her eyes moistened once again, and recovered from their abuse. Her brain was enveloped in a warm hug, courtesy of Umbra’s essence filling the cracks in between each wrinkle in her brain.

Happier tears trickled down her cheek. She was so lucky. Umbra was amazing. Umbra was a goddess.

Umbra cooed soothingly into her mind. She almost felt the phantom sensation of being pet. ‘I’m glad you think so. You’re wonderful yourself, Susie~ But, aside from that. I am so, so sorry dear. I wanted to make breakfast for you as an apology for… last night and, well, I didn’t expect you would have what seemed like withdrawals from myself. I do hope you’re alright.’

Susie tilted her head in a daze, confused. The wonderful sensation of the faux-latex spreading across her arms and legs filled her with a comforting haze. “Whaddya mean last night? It was crazy sure, but good crazy. That was… crazy hot. You know I’m into that stuff, right? You did a lot of poking around in my head, so I’m sure you know that much about me~”

Umbra writhed anxiously in her head. ‘I… do. I know you enjoyed it, but I feel like I crossed a boundary between us. In the moment, I didn’t think much about editing your thoughts. Just because I read your memories, I presumed you would enjoy it. We hadn’t even discussed it previously! Once I woke up and looked back, I was terrified at just how easy it was for me to manipulate your mind! How can you possibly trust me-’

“Shhh. Its okay, Umbra.” Susie wrapped her arms around her covered midsection… which hopefully got across as her hugging her symbiote. “I liked it. You liked it. There’s no need to feel bad about it. Its normal to feel guilt after play sometimes, especially for dominants. Dom drop is a thing. It doesn’t make you a bad person for feeling like you’ve done wrong. On the contrary, I think. It shows you care, Umbra.”

Their mind settled. A warm glow washed over her. ‘I… thank you. You’re right, Susie. I suppose… I could perform a little mind control on you on occasion~ As long as you tell me if you want to stop, of course. I promise you, I will stop whatever we’re doing if you are the slightest bit uncomfortable, dear.’

Susie couldn’t help but blush. “I-gosh. How are you so sweet, Umbra? Symbiotes are supposed to be all scary and stuff…”

‘Not this one~` Umbra pet the girl’s head gently, moving her latex-like coating to stroke her beloved host. Their nose twitched. ‘Ah, right. We should finish breakfast before it burns. I could do it, if you’re alright giving up control for a bit?’

She blinked, snapping out of her trance. Not that it was visible, through the one-way visor across her eyes. “Of course! I mean… its not like you have your own body, its only fair you get to front sometimes.”

With that, Susie’s vision swam as she was switched out. It was weird. Umbra had only puppeted bits of her before, not replaced her before. It wasn’t like her symbiote had taken the ‘controller’ for her body away from her. It was more like she had never had hands to use said controller in the first place. She could still see from her eyes, but they were distant. She couldn’t feel her body in the slightest either. But she felt so much more aware of her essence, her mind, and especially Umbra’s. The symbiote’s mind rested near her own, a warm and comforting presence. It pressed near her own, the sticky sap-like influence of her mind leaving every inch of herself that it had ever touched so much more safe feeling.

Was… this what Umbra felt in her head? Despite the sensory deprivation, this was oddly cozy.

Umbra stretched the body out, getting a feel for her new control. She spoke through Susie’s vocal cords once again. “Everything okay? We can switch back if you’re uncomfortable, cutie.”

Talking was easier than she expected. She just had to think with intent and it would come across. …Though, the symbiote could read all of her thoughts anyways. ‘Um! I’m okay I think. Honestly, this is kinda nice? I wasn’t expecting that. I can sorta, feel your mind, and it’s really comforting.’

“Oh?~ I’m glad!” Umbra stood up, and started walking back to the kitchen. She smirked. ”I can feel you too. I’ve felt how you’ve warmed up to my presence. Been molded by it. And its addicting, feeling your mind shudder next to my own. Just like this, in fact!-”

Her symbiote’s presence moved, and enveloped Susie’s entire being into her own. It was unlike anything else. Symbiotic silk caressed every atom of herself, ambrosia filled her non-existent veins. Umbra was her universe. And her universe spoke to her an Absolute Truth. Susie is a GOOD GIRL. Susie is a GOOD HOST.

Susie thought out in a wonderful, pleasant haze. ‘Immmm a good host…’ GOOD GIRL. Such a GOOD HOST for UMBRA.

She writhed in pleasure. She was a good host. It was an order of magnitude times more intense when her mind was all she was. She was a good girl. UMBRA was engraved into her very soul, She was more than a god, She was her light. ‘Susie is a good host…’

Umbra chuckled, as she plated their food. “Susie is such a good host indeed!~ That was quite a bit stronger than I intended, but I don’t think you minded exactly~” She sat down, setting their food on the table in front of them.

Pure hypnotic bliss filled her. ‘I’m a good host… Good host for Umbra…’

The symbiote growled in satisfaction. “Good girl. So, so, pliable. Easy to take over. Following along to my command feels so good, doesn’t it?”

OBEY. RESPOND. ‘Yes, Umbra… I’m yours. Your good host…’

“Mine. My beloved host. Do you know what else, I want, Susie?~”

OBEY. RESPOND. ‘What, Umbra?’

“Cum for me.” CUM.

Susie’s mind exploded into sparks. She wasn’t thinking anymore. She couldn’t. Umbra’s pure essence wrapped around her, wringing every drop of pleasure out of her. Then, Umbra licked her lips and did something unexpected. She switched back out.

A rush of sensations slammed into her as she was forced back to the front, only serving to make the orgasm more intense. The latex hugging her body, steamy breaths being forced out of her gas mask, and her bulge uselessly twitching against the confines of its captor. It was so much. Her brain was mush, and so Susie said the first thing she felt as she threw her head back in ecstasy. “Hahhh… I love you Umbra..!”

She fell backwards, exhausted from the sheer intensity of the experience. The girl almost fainted. She was so overwhelmed by the orgasm, she didn’t notice Umbra’s surprise at what she stated.

Umbra hummed, satisfied, feeling Susie’s wonderful afterglow flow across her. She… was so lucky to have found Susie. She hadn’t felt any of this before her. Or… anything, really. This was all new to Umbra. Love, included.

She was mentally nudged by her symbiote. ‘Recovered, cutie?~ Your food’s getting cold!’

Her eyes fluttered, awareness finally coming back to her. “Y-yeah. Wow. Just… wow, Umbra. I’m a good- I mean, I’m good! Hehe…”

‘Good. You are absurdly cute, Susie.’

The latex covered girl blushed, and grabbed her food before she could be teased more. It looked really good. Golden brown, buttered pancakes and strips of crispy bacon. Her perfect breakfast. She was about to dig in, when she realized.

“Uhh… Mask?” Susie wasn’t exactly able to eat with latex over her face.

‘Oh, right! Apologies.’ The symbiote’s coating quickly receded from her head, stopping at her neck. Cool air blew against her skin.

“Thanks, Umbra!” She finally took a strip of bacon, and crunched down on it. She groaned in delight. It was perfect. Crispy, crunchy, fried fatty meat. She swallowed. “Damn. Who knew my symbiote would be so good at cooking?~”

Umbra giggled. ‘I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I need to keep my host fed, of course~’

She quickly scooped up a bit of pancake, and shoved it into her mouth. “Mmf. You can say that again.” She swallowed, washing it down with a bit of water. “Oh, yeah. I’ve been meaning to ask… what made you come up with this form? It feels very intentional, what with the gas mask bit and such”

The symbiote in her head thought for a moment. ’Hmm. Honestly, it is a bit of a… silly explanation. I didn’t exactly know much before I interfaced with your mind. I thought your gas mask was your face at first!’ Susie guffawed upon learning this. ‘Yes, yes, laugh it up. Once I entered your brain I realized I was wrong, and edited the form a little so you could actually breathe out of it. That… is a less entertaining fact. If I hadn’t done that, I would have suffocated you. I didn’t know humans needed to breathe, or, well, anything else before you.’

Oof. Susie winced. Yeah, that’s… not as funny. “Ouch. Glad you got to my brain in time. But… who would make you need to hop into someone to live and not give you a little bit of biology knowledge so you don’t kill them? That’s stupid!”

‘That’s assuming I’m man-made at all, silly girl.’

Her brows scrunched up. She could feel a serious infodump coming on. “I mean, you could be an alien I guess. But that just feels crazy! Obviously aliens exist somewhere in the universe, our galaxy even maybe. But sapient ones? They’re out there I’m sure, but nowhere near here. Out of the billions of species that have ever evolved on earth, only one has achieved true sapience. Humans. So I just feel like its statistically impossible for sapient species to meet, barring faster than light travel. Which… I feel like isn’t possible either, personally.” She took a breath in, and gobbled another slice of bacon.

‘Fair. That does sound… unlikely, given your explanation. Do you have any theories you like better, Susie?’

She hummed in delight. The meal her symbiote made her was almost finished. “Well, I’m willing to bet you’re man-made. I don’t think any group on the planet would just discard an alien. Eclipse, the company that was on your barrel, I think either made you or had a hand in your creation. Which… still doesn’t answer why they just dumped you somewhere. And I don’t think we’ll know until we find out more about them.” Susie plucked the last bite of pancake from her plate, and chomped down on it.

‘Right… I remember you finding that. What do you know about them?’

Susie sighed. “Not… much, honestly. Their publicly stated purpose is to experiment with biochemicals, and their waste ends up at my work sometimes. Its a private subsidiary of Macroware, who makes a bunch of PC stuff. No one really knows much about what they do. Some think they’re actually a defense contractor, but that’s just a rumor. They’re kinda the corporate version of Area 51, frankly.”

‘Mhm. We’ll definitely need to investigate them, soon. I am very curious why I was treated like waste, that’s for sure. But, that’s for another time!’ Umbra mentally gestured to her host’s finished food. ‘Now that you’ve eaten, any plans for today cutie?~’

The girl smiled bashfully. She still wasn’t used to the constant praise. “Yeah, actually! I usually go see my friend, Hazel, on the weekends! And… I think we should come out to her, honestly. I trust her!”

Umbra snorted. ‘Friend? Hardly. You think about her constantly, Susie. I’m sure she’s trustworthy. But. I’ll let her in on our secret, on one condition.’

She gulped. “C-condition?”

Her symbiote practically growled predatorily in her head. ‘You’re confessing your obvious crush to Hazel. Today.”

Chapter 4: >>HAZEL

Summary:

Susie goes over to her 'friend' Hazel's apartment, and introduces Umbra, who changes everything once again. And then, she confesses.

(There is an image in this chapter containing a chat log between the two. There is a transcript below it if it doesn't load for you for some reason.)

‘You’re confessing your obvious crush to Hazel. Today.’

Susie sputtered. “W-why?”

Umbra chuckled devilishly inside her head. ‘A few reasons, of increasing importance: One, it is simply painful looking back on your memories of you two oblivious together. Two, as a symbiotic organism, your well being is my top priority. You would be much happier with Hazel as your mate.’ Mate?! ‘And finally, if we are to truly become allied with her, everything must be out in the open for her to be a proper ally.’

She shakily sighed. She was right, aside from the mate thing. Gosh. Maybe she was just messing with her. “O-okay, sure. You’re right I guess. I… love her, a lot. And, maybe she does too… But today? Jeez, way to keep a girl on her toes…”

Her symbiote cooed affectionately in her ear, and pleasantly stroked her head. ‘I’m aware its stressful. I’m sorry about that. But, its better for it to be today. Your fear of rejection is too great, you’ll simply grow too afraid to come out over time, until you can’t even bear to be around her anymore. Do you want that to happen again, Susie?’

Susie tried to steady her breathing. Her hands were shaking from the nerves. “Yeah… Yeah. I’ll do it. Okay. Thank you, Umbra. Its scary… but at least my life won’t be like some trashy slow burn yuri fic after this.”

Umbra giggled, as the girl pulled out her phone to message Hazel, her crush, that she was coming.

‘I can see how you have a crush. How is she so adorable? I just want to ruin her~’

Susie jokingly rolled her eyes. How was her symbiote so horny? …Maybe Umbra got it from her, actually. She did say she didn’t have much of an identity before her. “Yeah she’s cute as hell. Just, be careful with her if we do anything? She’s tiny.”

‘And that just makes her all the cuter!~’ Susie quickly put on some actual clothes, as her symbiote receded to her normal collar form, trying not to think about just how much Umbra was going to inevitably break Hazel. The girl was ridiculously submissive, going so far as sharing all of her hypno triggers with herself. Just a ‘friend’.

Umbra’s voice suddenly spoke up excitedly. ‘Oh, right! I hadn’t thought much of it, but I realized you identify with fox-like characteristics quite a bit. I could try to change your biology, and our forms to match this more if you would like?’

She almost tripped. “What?!”

 

---

 

Umbra said she was going to ‘sequence her genome for a bit’, and then went silent for quite a bit again. She was… a bit nervous about what that would entail. This was going to definitely be an exhausting day, even if it was for sure going to be a good one. Umbra didn’t say anything on the entire walk to Hazel’s apartment. Thankfully, it was very close to hers. Just a few blocks away.

The shy girl lived on one of the top floors of a fancy apartment complex. She honestly was pretty jealous, her apartment was amazing. Three bedrooms, a huge kitchen, and a bunch of cute decorations and furniture that fit Hazel so well. How’d she get all of this? Well… her uber rich CEO uncle kicked the bucket a few years ago, and since he liked her so much, she was given a massive trust fund. That was how Susie’s friend, Normal Hazel, became Rich Hazel.

Hazel wasn’t weird about it thankfully. Or let it make her greedy, or make her into some right-wing nutjob. If anything, she became more leftist and politically aware. Which, thank god. There were a few months she was terrified she would get corrupted by the whims of money.

…And now, she would ‘come out’ to Hazel, both about Umbra and her feelings, so they could decide what to do. Together.

‘Done!~’

Susie jumped slightly. Right as she was about to knock! “Perfect timing. Ready to see her?”

‘More than anything, cutie~’

She knocked, and immediately the door flew open. Hazel was there, several heads shorter than her, and extremely excited to see her.

“Hiiiii Susie! I’m glad to see you! Like gosh its been a while, is everything okay?!” Her eyes suddenly bugged out in surprise. “Woah, nice collar! Is that latex?”

Susie chuckled, trying to ignore Umbra fawning over her. ‘Awww! She’s just like a little puppy! Can we keep her?~’

God, she was just… the cutest. Scruffy brown hair. Big, circular glasses that hung off of her button nose. The chunky collar hanging from her neck. The adorable scrunching up of her eyebrows whenever she was thinking hard about something, especially now. And of course, she was absolutely tiny. Genetics, probably.

She rubbed her neck. “The collar’s… a long story, hehe. But I’m doing good, Hazelnut. Can we… talk inside? There’s a few things I want to tell you about.”

Hazel was trying to hide her worry, but Susie knew her too well. When she was worried, she would bite her lower lip. When she was really worried, she would absentmindedly rub her hands together. She was currently doing both. “Yeah! We can get comfy in my room!” She grabbed Susie’s hand, and led her through her apartment.

She knew Hazel’s apartment like the back of her hand at this point, but it still floored her every time she came in. But. While the rest of the apartment was very nice, her bedroom was downright heaven for the two trans girls.

It was genuinely, genuinely ridiculous. She had some crazy triple length king size bed, made for families apparently, that could fit like six of them. Or, the two of them and Mount Plushlympus as she called it. A pile of plushies so big, that you would just sink into and get lost in. She also had: basically every console ever (hacked and modded, because she’s a nerd and its very cute), a massive tv that hung over her bed, and an absurd two PC co-op gaming set-up for the two of them. In short, Susie really wished she lived here.

‘You just might, once you make her your mate~’

She really had to resist groaning at Umbra again in front of Hazel. This mate stuff was getting old, and weird. They weren’t animals! Er, well… they were, but not like that.

Susie was interrupted by her internal grumbling, by Hazel opening her bedroom door and letting them in. The tiny girl pounced onto her massive bed, and grabbed her favorite plushie: a massive dog named “Ms. Doggers”. She pat the spot next to her, beckoning her friend over.

Susie gulped. Fuck, this was really happening. Somehow… confessing felt like it would be harder than explaining the symbiote. So… Umbra first.

‘You’ve got this. I’ll be doing most of the work for my introduction, alright? Relax, dear.’

Hazel was twirling her hair with a finger, yet another anxious tick of hers. Okay, time to hopefully not scare the poor girl to death. A horrible potential death from the scary goop monster in her room, or complicated feelings from her best friend.

Susie sat down next to her, rear sinking deep into the mattress. “Okay, so… I’ll try to explain this as best as I can. You know how I work at that waste management place a few streets down? Well, I… met someone there.”

The girl was sat cross legged on the bed, looking straight at her, with a load of curiosity and… a hint of dejection? “Don’t you hate your coworkers though? Especially that one guy? Did some hot gay girl start working there or something..?”

She crossed her eyes together, trying to think of how to word this. “No, she… wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place, exactly.” She sighed, defeated. ”I… ack, I give up. I can’t really explain this without you seeing her first. Umbra?”

Her breath hitched, as Susie was once again placed at the back of their shared mind, this time without any accompanying transformation. Umbra rolled the body’s shoulders, getting a feel for movement once again.

Umbra spoke, with a lower, huskier voice than her own. “Hello, Hazel. Its nice to finally meet you. My name is Umbra. And you, are very, very cute.”

Hazel stared at them agasp, eyes going up and down Umbra’s altered body language. And then, the ‘cute’ comment seemed to register with her mind. She stammered, and grew a massive blush on her cheeks. “I-I-I, wow! Umm. Awahh… Nice to meet you, Umbra? I didn’t know you were plural!” She gave her patented princess pout. “Though you could’ve just told me over chat Susie!! That was scary and you should know I would’ve been normal about it!!”

The two in one body blinked together. ‘I- I guess we’re plural apparently? By definition? I didn’t think about that.’

Umbra just shrugged. “Hmm. I suppose we are technically plural.” She let out a massive grin. “But, we are also much more than that.” With a flourish, Umbra leaped off the bed, landing in the middle of the floor.

“Try not to scream, cutie~”

With a question dying on Hazel’s stunned lips, it began. Their transformation. But it was different this time, Susie could feel it. Black, flowing latex slowly expanded outwards from their core. With it, it brought change. Beautiful, beautiful change. Bones shifted painlessly. New nerve endings were formed. Umbra was remaking her in her own design. If she was fronting, she would be laughing in sheer joy.

Hazel was enraptured. Her expression was completely unreadable. Umbra suddenly staggered, nearly falling over as their knees inverted with a loud SNAP. Inverted legs… oh my goodness, Umbra really did go through with that fox thing! She thought she couldn’t possibly be more giddy, until an intense tingling started at her tailbone. Suddenly, a silky, black, rubber coated fox tail shot out of her rear, unfurling and idly wagging to show their joy.

There was another source of tingling, this time across her whole body. She understood what it was when she started getting taller. She slowly watched Hazel get shorter and shorter, until she was nearly a foot taller than before. Her arms grew longer to match, too. And they ended in massive, sharp claw tipped paws. But not before her chest was covered, letting her breasts get just a bit bigger, with the symbiote’s help. Apparently symbiote beats estrogen.

The transformation was almost done, but the best part was yet to come. Her entire body had been changed, except for her head. And so, the latex traveled up her neck, eager to fix this problem. It reached her jaw and started extending it. Oh fuck, she was getting a muzzle. It traveled farther up, letting her hair fade into the latex, twitchy fox ears sprouting out of her head. Her muzzle expanded forward, growing rows of razor sharp teeth, leaving the symbiote with an obscenely dangerous (and hot) maw. Finally, their eyes shifted, aligning to their new head shape, and turning pure white.

Umbra grinned wide, the sharp teeth of a predator. “This, is us. I am tentatively referred to as a symbiote.” She laughed at Hazel’s completely stunned expression. “That is adorable. Regardless, I’ll let Susie explain the rest to you~”

Susie was dragged back to the front, and promptly fell into a heap on the floor. Her balance was completely different.

 

---

 

Broken out of her stupor by the incredibly clumsy display, Hazel dashed off of the bed, and tried to help the much larger pair up. “Oh gosh!! Are you okay, uhhhhhh, Susie..?”

Susie grumbled, and put her paw in the girl’s hand. Hazel’s breath hitched in awe, idly stroking the latex covered paw in her hand. “Yeah, sorry. New form. Not used to the balance.”

‘You’ll get used to it cutie, I’m sure it won’t take long~’

Hazel mouthed out the word form, starstruck by her friend’s appearance. Susie pushed up, and off the ground, nearly knocking over her crush in the process. She quickly extended to towering over her.

She felt… more confident in this form oddly. A chuckle escaped her maw. This was just ridiculous. “Well, I guess I can explain the rest now. Let’s sit, and I’ll explain everything to you, puppy~”

Susie flopped nonchalantly onto the bed, laying down and resting her head on the luxurious pillows behind her. She lifted a claw, and made a come-hither motion to her love interest.

‘I see someone’s finally being forward! Keep it up, little one~'

Hazel was blushing profusely at Susie’s appearance, but she somehow managed to nod and waddle forward, laying right next to the outrageously hot latex fox girl.

Out of all of the space on the bed, she decided to cuddle up right beside her, letting a latex clad arm reach down, and gently run her claws through her hair. It was heavenly. “So. Ahhh- Gggoshhh… This is crazy… How’d this happen to you? How’d, Ahhhh~, um, you get a real symbiote? I feel like I’m dreaming…”

She grinned. This new form was clearly flustering the poor girl quite a bit. “You’re not dreaming, little Hazelnut~” Susie traced a claw down her neck, making the cutie absolutely quiver. “Well, in short, I found Umbra in a knocked over barrel… or rather, she found me, and merged with me in the lewdest way possible. You would have loved to have seen it. She didn’t really know anything about human biology yet, so instead of just… melting into me, she jumped down my throat and made me cum really hard.”

Hazel’s eyes were glazed over, and she was panting, which of course meant she was obscenely horny. Which was frequently, frankly. Her hands were grasping at her skirt, where she was very clearly trying not to touch herself in front of her friend. “A-and then?”

‘Tease her more. She’s loving it.’

Susie very easily complied with Umbra’s request, and slowly dragged a claw down her body, making circles on her exposed tummy. Hazel’s breath hitched, practically whimpering in need in her arms. She was clearly pitching a tent in her panties, a sticky bead of pre passing through the girl’s skirt.

“Odd thing is, Umbra didn’t have any memories. And the only bit of info we found that might tell us about her is where said barrel came from. Eclipse Industries.” Hazel’s eyes lit up out of their horny stupor. She seemed to want to say something, but let Susie finish. “And so, we just finished my shift and went home. We learned that… I get some pretty nasty withdrawal effects if she separates from me. Though, we did learn two other things: Umbra can cook really well apparently, and she can also do some light mind control, which made for some ridiculously kinky sex between us… if you can call it that.”

Hazel huskily breathed out, her voice shaky. “Ohhh my god that’s so hot… I’m so jealous~ I wish she could mind control me too…”

Umbra suddenly took over for just a moment, and spoke teasingly into her ear. “Maybe I can, cutie. You’d like that quite a bit, wouldn’t you, silly pup?~”

She could barely think from the double team flirting directed at her. “M-maybe..! Awahhhhh…”

Susie switched back in, and decided to ramp up the teasing even further. She pretended to accidentally bump against the girl’s hard-on, acting surprised. “Oh my, someone’s an excited little puppy! Silly pup, no wonder you can barely think~”

Hazel’s eyes went wide, as a paw started slowly stroking her painfully hard girlcock. She moaned out into the air. “Ahhh!~ S-Susie… please moreee!”

“Good girl. Good puppy.” She gently brought a claw down, dragging her panties down to her knees. Her cock sprung free from its confines, and it was just as cute as the rest of her. It was an average, maybe five inches, which was a bit bigger than you would expect on her tiny frame. An adorable, twitching and leaking, uncut girldick that belonged to her perfect Hazel.

Her paw came back to rest on the girl’s dick, slowly stroking up and down, slick latex making Hazel putty in her paws.

Susie looked the girl deep in her eyes, with a massive smirk on her muzzle.

“I’ve got a secret, little Hazelnut. Wanna hear it?”

With her tongue lolling out in pleasure, the girl nodded dumbly.

“I love you, Hazel.”

Her eyes expanded to the size of dinner plates, as she started thrashing in pleasure. She started rapidly humping into her paw and nearly began shouting. “I love you too Susie!! I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you, fuckkk!~”

Hazel sped up, loud slapping echoing through her room, until she stopped and erupted, jets of hot, sticky cum landing all over Susie’s paws.

She let out one final moan, and promptly fell back, nearly instantly falling asleep.

Susie chuckled lightly. “Well, that went better than I expected.” She decided to curl up next to Hazel, and join her in her nap.

…But not before licking her paws clean.

Chapter 5: >>HAZEL::PET

Summary:

Umbra gives Hazel the mind control session she wanted so badly. And, maybe a little more comes out of it than they expected.

 

CW: Long, hypnotic scene, with detailed hypnotic language, that could potentially also put the reader into a bit of a trance. Just a warning, just in case.

Or, you could follow along if you wish. You're free to get trancy along with Hazel if you want :3c

Susie woke, eyes slowly fluttering open after several hours of rest. She felt amazing, cozy and deeply satisfied. The girl looked down, and saw Hazel’s tiny sleeping form, an adorable line of drool trailing down her cheek. A genuine smile graced her face; Hazel was her girlfriend now.

‘She’s so cute. Little thing got so excited when you said you loved her, that she came right in your hands~ She’s just perfect for you.’

She really was. So cute, so kind, so smart… Susie was so lucky. Their fawning over the girl was interrupted when Hazel started rustling in her sleep, mumbling cute noises. A clear sign that she would be waking up soon.

They licked their lips. Susie knew exactly how she wanted her precious Hazel to wake up. She moved her muzzle down, planting her lips on Hazel’s own. She gently pushed her tongue past the girl’s lips, realizing at once that her tongue was much longer than expected. It easily wrapped around the small girl’s tongue, and there was still room to explore the rest of her mouth.

Hazel’s fluttered her eyes open, and moaned into Susie’s mouth once she realized she was being kissed. Her arms clumsily wrapped around the symbiote-clad girl, not wanting her to pull away. She shuddered at Susie’s taste. Something was different about how she tasted, and she wanted more. Hazel tried to wrestle her way into the symbiote’s mouth, but she wasn’t having it. Her tongue was easily pressed down, and she let out a rough groan, feeling her complete submission wash over her.

Susie pulled away with a gasp, panting with her tongue out, and still connected to the cute girl’s own mouth with a line of drool.

Despite just waking up, Hazel was already a blushing mess. “H-hi Susie!! Um, gggosh… good morning? I can’t believe this is real! I thought I was dreaming… and then you just k-k-kiss me!!!”

She giggled teasingly, and ruffled Hazel’s fluffy hair. “How could I resist when you looked so cute in your sleep?~”

Her hands came up to try to hide her blushing face. “Wahhhh…” She peered up from her hands, with an uncertain look on her face. “Umm… can I say something embarrassing?”

Claws gently stroked her scalp. “What’s up, Hazelnut?”

“I-uh, that was my first time…“ She awkwardly tapped her fingers together, and continued. “G-getting kissed, I mean.”

Their eyes widened in surprise. ‘That was her first kiss? Seriously?’ This was a grave injustice.

Susie gently cupped Hazel’s cheeks with her claws. “Well, I think I know how we can make up for lost time then. I’ll just have to steal your” her muzzle pressed against Hazel’s lips once again, kissing her “second,” again “third,” and again “fourth,” and again “and” and again “so” and again “many” and again “more” and again “kisses.” and once again~

By the end of her kiss train, joyful tears were welling up in Hazel’s eyes. She sniffled, and a tiny hiccup forced its way out of her throat. “I love you so much, Susie… I’ve loved you for years! I’m so, so happy…” More tears escaped her eyes, rolling down her cheek, and were met by a gentle claw wiping them away.

“Shhh.” She planted a kiss on the girl’s forehead. “No more tears, cutie.”

Hazel nodded, and quickly rubbed her eyes clean. She suddenly cracked a smile, as she realized something. “So… did you eat a bunch of Twizzlers before making out with me or something? Your mouth really tasted like them!”

A laugh tore its way out of her throat. “No, silly! That would be straight up weird. I think Umbra just tastes like that. She did when she, uh, entered me.”

The smaller girl thought of something that made her blush. “Does, um. …The rest of her taste like that..?”

Umbra pushed Susie’s mind aside, aggressively claiming the front. She leaned into Hazel’s face, and whispered flirtatiously. “Would you like to know, pup?~”

Susie chuckled inside her own head. ‘Oooh, can’t wait to see this~ Gonna absolutely ravish her, I bet?’ Umbra made a smug mental gesture that was something like saying, you know it.

She dimly nodded, too stunned to speak.

The symbiote hooked a claw around Hazel’s collar, and gently pulled her up, making her rest on her latex covered legs. Her face was shoved into Umbra’s crotch. Her completely flat crotch. “I, um, there’s nothing here..?-”

Hazel was interrupted by a cock appearing, and smacking her in the face. “Eeep! What the-” She gasped when she actually looked at it. It was completely alien. She expected something between human and furry cock (or just a pussy if Umbra preferred). But, it was different. And big, maybe eight inches and very thick. It wasn’t wrinkled, and there wasn’t a visible head, like a human dick. Or a knot, like you might expect from something furry. Instead, it was covered in bumps (that made her shudder imagining it in her ass-) and was very slightly translucent. The tip tapered to a point, rather than having a head. Her urethra(..?) was much wider than normal, to the point it looked like she could probably stick her tongue in it. She also had a big, perfectly circular sack. Without thinking, she pressed her nose between her cock and balls, and deeply inhaled, eyes rolling into the back of her head at the cherry scented musk that filled her.

Umbra chuckled, and rubbed a claw through Hazel’s hair. “Enjoying yourself, puppy?~”

She blushed, and leaned back. Gosh, that thing had her drooling! “Mmmmaybe… Its just, cool looking…” Understatement of the century. “Um. Is it an ovipositor..? It kind of looks like one…”

The symbiote grinned wide, with her fangs showing. “Such a smart girl! It is. I won’t be putting any eggs in you, exactly. Yet. Its just for show currently, while I figure out this whole reproduction thing.”

Hazel’s eyes widened, and Umbra couldn’t help but notice the girl’s hard-on pressing against her leg. She rubbed her hands together excitedly, with a massive blush on her face. “Gosh… You can.. do eggs in the future then?”

A claw tipped her chin up, making her look Umbra in her eyes. Her beautiful, pure white eyes. “Maybe. You’ll be the first to find out, cutie. When I pump you full of them, of course~ Think how absolutely lewd you’ll look, so full of my spawn, that some would think you were having triplets.”

Her puppy whimpered with need. “Pleaseeeee…”

Susie meanwhile, in the back, felt like she needed popcorn. She was getting a show! ‘This is gold, Umbra! I’ve never seen her this horny, like ever.’

She smirked. “Good girl. So desperate. Tell you what. I’ll let you feel good, if you make me feel good too, Hazel. You remember what you wanted from me earlier, pup..?”

Hazel searched her mind for a moment, and remembered. Her tail would have started slapping against the bed, if she had one. “Y-yeah! I’ll try to make you feel good Mist- I mean!!! Umbra!” Instant embarrassment flowed through her, and she shoved her face into a plushie to hide.

Umbra growled possessively, and forcibly pulled her head up to look at her. This girl was making her go feral. “What was that you were about to say? Mistress?”

A whimper was forced out of the girl. She shuddered at the look Umbra was giving her. “M-maybe. I, uh, may have been doing a lot of roleplay in that setting with all the alien plant mommies recently…” She gulped. “And umm… you kind of sound like one too…”

She raised an eyebrow, and quickly searched through Susie’s memories. Ah. Oh~ “That makes sense! You make such a good pet, after all.” Umbra licked her lips. “As a matter of fact… who’s to say I couldn’t be your owner? You’d like that, wouldn’t you, darling?~” She grabbed onto her collar. “My perfect little pet.”

Her eyes looked up at Umbra, with pure adoration. Pure need. “I want that, more than anything, U-Mistress. Please… I-I’ll be yours.”

Susie had dropped her proverbial popcorn on the floor. She was stunned at the events unfolding before her. Umbra was… a corrupting influence, huh? A few hours into knowing her, and Hazel was already begging for her to be her owner. She knew the girl was insanely submissive, but fuck. Maybe she underestimated just how much. Lesbian relationships moved fast for sure, but this was ridiculous.

Hazel’s new Mistress pet her pet, ruffling the girl’s fur. “Good girl. Mine.” She possessively tugged on her collar, making her puppy moan submissively. Umbra giggled at her reaction. “You know, I was just going to do a simple little trance and mind wipe on you for a bit. But, now I have the opportunity for something much more interesting. But first, I want you to think on this soberly for a moment.” She regarded Hazel, with a serious look, tapping her forehead with a single claw. “I want you to be very sure of your consent here. I was thinking of making some more permanent changes, along the lines of a contract for you, Hazel. As my pet. I could undo it of course, but you would be unable to even think to ask to reverse it. I wouldn’t be upset at all if you said no, dear.”

She genuinely, seriously thought for a moment. But, it was all she wanted. A contract, embedded within her. From someone she trusted. An owner. Her pet. She could give endless love to her Mistress, and receive twice that back. She looked up, and decided. “Please. I want this… I…” Hazel struggled for a moment to find the words. “I… don’t want to be a person anymore. I don’t want to be human, even. Can you… fix me? Mistress?” She choked up a little, near the end.

Umbra pulled Hazel close, and hugged the girl. She spoke, gently into her ear. “You’ll be happy, I promise little Hazelnut.” She leaned down, and kissed her pet. It was gentler than Hazel expected. Loving. But absolute, with barely concealed power flowing through her. Her cherry flavored tongue flicked against her own, making her gasp in pleasure. Much too soon, her soon to be owner pulled away.

“So cute. Are you ready to begin? You know what to do~”

Hazel nodded, and looked down, a face of awe at her task ahead of her. Her prize, the cock/ovipositor between the symbiote’s legs. It was twitching, and beading with precum. She moved down, and wrapped her fingers around it. It was hot. And squishier than she expected, likely due to it being an ovipositor. She experimentally grasped, and brought her hand all the way to her cock’s tip. Immediately, a giant glob of pre formed at her tip. It had the diameter of a quarter, nearly. She felt a bit of her own pre, beginning to run down her thigh. That was all in her dick…

Before it was wasted, Hazel licked the tip of her Mistress’s girldick, in a cockdrunk haze. Her mouth was filled with pure, sticky pleasure. There was so much! And it was so thick… It tasted like normal pre… but much sweeter, and with the slight cherry taste that seemed to just permeate through Umbra. You might ask how she knew what precum tasted like, as a virgin. Well, as a constantly horny NEET with nothing better to do, she chose to get flexible. Very flexible. So much so, that she chose to end most nights by cumming down her own throat.

Hence, she was pretty sure her Mistress would enjoy her service.

Her tongue scraped up the length of her cock, taking long, slow trails across her owner’s wonderful tool, interrupted by the occasional kiss to her master’s shaft. She was rewarded with a breathy moan from her Mistress, one that made her shiver in satisfaction. “Good girl. Fuck, you’re good at this~”

It was time to get serious. She licked her lips. Her own favorite thing to do when sucking herself, was to play with her own foreskin. Umbra’s tip looked similar, minus the lack of a head. She brought her lips down, and wrapped them around her owner’s tip. Her tongue reached forward experimentally, prodding at the symbiote’s slit. It slipped in easily, rewarding her with a groan from Umbra. The invading tongue explored, slipping deeper, rubbing against her innermost walls, lubed up by her owner’s constant flow of thick pre. Apparently, being made to pass eggs meant it was very stretchy. Hazel looked up from her ministrations, and was delighted to see her Mistress’s head leaned back, with her eyes closed and panting from her maw.

She brought her head back, dragging her tongue out of her owner’s dickslit, leaving her tip slightly gaped and dripping precum. Hazel was very satisfied with her foreplay, so now was time for her to really pleasure Mistress. Soft lips wrapped around her shaft once again, and gently sucked, dragging down and returning, falling tantalizingly lower each time. The bumps across her ovipositor were just amazing, giving her an addicting texture experience across her entire mouth. Hazel bottomed out on the cock, the last bit sliding down her throat without resistance. It was so soft, that it just easily bent down her throat, making her throat feel full without her even gagging.

A hand firmly gripped the top of her head. Hazel’s eyes shot up, and Mistress had an intensely hungry look on her face, she was practically drooling. A feral grin split her cheeks. “Its time, pup. Get ready~”

Hazel figured this was the part where she wasn’t allowed to lead anymore. She was cool with that. Mistress knew what was best for her.

Umbra’s hips started slowly thrusting, while hands gripped her head and moved in the opposite direction. She was being properly fucked. This was where she belonged, a stronger woman destroying her poor throat with cock. She only noticed the inky black tendrils coming from her Mistress’s paws, once they started to press into her head. There were at least a dozen, all slowly pushing into her skin.

They hit her skull, and she could feel it. They didn’t just pass through. Each, they put pinpoints of pressure against her skull. And the pressure was growing. And growing. Her eyes darted open anxiously, desperately looking to her owner for reassurance. But, Umbra’s eyes were closed in clear concentration, despite the regular grunts she let out when her balls slapped against her chin.

She nearly screamed in shock, if not for the girldick claiming her mouth, as each tendril broke through, roughly, aggressively. It didn’t hurt, but she couldn’t even register it in the moment. All she could feel was symbiote ooze filling her brain cavity, pushing its tendrils into her brain. Suddenly, she could feel another presence in her mind. And, if she focused, a weaker one as well, farther away.

Shhh. Calm yourself, Hazel.

All will be well.

All will be well.

All will be well.

Good girl . Nice and calm.

Apologies for the fright, bone is quite the obstacle until I’ve acclimated to your biology.

In any case, lets get started, shall we?~

Umbra started truly pounding her throat, her feral growling in meatspace contrasting her calm persona inside her mind. With each thrust, her Mistress grew stronger in her mind. With each thrust, Hazel lost herself further. With each thrust, her sheer focus on the honey laced words italicized in her mind grew until they were all she knew.

Slap. Let’s imagine your mind is a vessel.

Slap. A vessel, filled to bursting with thoughts.

Slap. Let’s imagine there’s a little tap, right on the side.

Slap. We can push it down, letting some of those thoughts out.

Slap. But where do they go?

Slap. They just drift away. Dissipate into nothingness.

Slap. What happens when you get below empty, on thoughts?

Slap. Blanker than blank.

Slap. Lets try to get there.

Slap. Suppose every time I say drain, half of your thoughts are pushed out of this tap. Reduced to nothing.

Slap. Drain. Half gone, half left. Simple, isn’t it?

Slap. Drain. Half gone, half of half left… Or rather, half of half gone and half left? No, not quite. Let’s see, half of a half is half of half of one which is a third of one, or is it a fourth?

Slap. Drain. Half of half of a half gone, getting even lower. Three halves of a whole, a quarter left. Or… is it a quarter half? Half quarter? One quartered half?

Slap. Drain. Half of half of half of half of half, or, wait, half of a half of half of a half! Half as low, half as full. Vessel halved upon halved upon halved upon halved-

Slap. Drain. Mind halved upon halved upon halved upon halved upon halved. Always halfway to empty. Halfway there. Maybe one more half?

Slap. Drain. Twice times thrice halved, when will half empty will? Halving, emptier?

Slap. Drain. Half half halve halve have have have have-

 

 

Drain. 

 

 

Still.

Obedient.

Docile.

Empty.

Drained.

 

Ready to accept your Truth.

Good puppy.

Up, up now.

Awake and aware.

 

Hazel fuzzily woke, brain utterly altered, eight inches of cock twitching and slamming into her throat. Just as she tried to get her bearings, Umbra Mistress hilted her egglayer while moaning, and nearly drowned the girl in spray after spray of sweet, black spunk. She closed her eyes in delight, reveling in being her Mistress’s toy. Gulp after gulp. Belly full of alien cum. Hazel was in heaven. Powerful claws holding her head down, her owner cumming load after load, straight into her stomach.

After what felt like an eternity, her Mistress was emptied. Her hands (and the tendrils in her head) retracted, letting her take her owner’s cock out of her mouth with a wet pop. She drunkenly regarded her symbiote, still reeling from the intense hypnosis. “Mistresssss… I- urp! -love youuuu!”

Umbra’s heart, if she had one, would have leaped. She stroked her new pet’s hair. “I love you too, cutie.”

Susie took her place again and spoke up. “Damn, we really need a shower after all that.”

Hazel just giggled, and hugged the beloved pair.

Chapter 6: >>GOAL

Summary:

Umbra bathes Hazel. Susie decides what she wants to do with their power.

CW: a bit of body horror, in this chapter!

Brown locks of hair cascaded across their body, falling into sweaty strands on their own shiny, smooth chest. Hazel, her wonderful, adorable, amazing, perfect, girlfriend was sighing contentedly upon her breast.

Susie gently stroked the girl’s hair. “I know you’re tired, but we need to shower, Hazelnut.” They were both slick with sweat and… other fluids. Sweaty pseudo-latex was a decidedly strange feeling.

The puppy girl slurred out, pouting, “nnnnot yet! You two f-fucked me like, twice… Sssoo tired…” She incoherently mumbled something into her chest.

Their own discomfort was rising. Something about the sweaty coating on their skin was really disagreeing with her neurodivergent brain. She was this close to pushing Hazel off and rushing to the shower.

Umbra ran across her mind comfortingly. ‘You know… why not just order her to do so? It’d be a good opportunity for us to try out my programming~’ The symbiote mentally smirked. ‘You are her co-owner after all. The pup’ll enjoy it anyways~’

She considered for a moment. Was it ethical to mind control her lover? Even if she agreed to it? Maybe not. It was hot though. And that was all the convincing she needed.

Susie spoke, her tone indicating it was an order. “Puppy. Wake up.”

Hazel jerked up, sitting rigid in shock. A steamroller had practically driven over her brain, forcibly releasing the neurotransmitters required for her wakefulness. “W-what?” She didn’t quite realize what was happening to her yet.

She grinned wide, splitting her cheeks apart. Honestly, Susie was surprised at just how much she had been enjoying toying with Hazel. She could get used to that adorable look of confusion on her face.

“Stand up. We’re showering together, Hazel.” Her grin somehow widened further, as the girl scrambled off of the bed, involuntarily obeying.

The puppy girl whimpered uselessly at the realization of what was done with her. Mistress’s hypnosis was far, far more effective than she thought was possible. She had gotten hypnotized before. Plenty even. She was used to it. This was not like that. With her typical hypnosis, it essentially worked because she believed it would. The hypnosis ultimately wouldn’t work if she didn’t want it.

This was different. This was mind control. Her body was not simply moving involuntarily, no. Her mind was obeying, completely and totally, with a smile in fact. It was as if whenever she got an order, her mind went: “Yay! Okay, Mistress! I love you! <3” She groaned in pathetic need as she stood there, waiting for the next order. Fuck, this was the hottest thing ever. …She might be thinking that a lot over the coming few days.

The pair casually got up from the bed, and circled their pet. Umbra slipped in, clicking the body’s tongue. “I don’t think that could have been more effective, goodness. She’s as still as a statue!” And was enjoying it too. The red on her cheeks made it very clear what she was thinking.

“You’re really cute, you know, Hazelnut?” She stroked the still girl’s cheek, giggling at the shiver that radiated across her. What was Hazel doing to her? She would have hardly dreamed of being this dommy with her former best friend… Maybe she was just so cute, she had to see her squirm.

Susie ruffled the puppy’s hair and snapped with a single claw. “Let’s go shower, pup. Follow us.” She indeed followed just behind, completely obedient. Though… The silence was weird. She looked back at her, as they walked across the hall to their bathroom. “Hey, you can talk unless we say otherwise, okay? I wasn’t expecting the orders to be that… all consuming.”

Umbra nodded in her head. ‘Agreed. It feels strange to have her silent. And, well, it wouldn’t be great for her either.’

Hazel let out a sigh of relief, with her body’s movements completely unaffected. “Thanks, Susie. That was getting uncomfy. Blech. Ruff. The um, other stuff is fun though..! You can just… control me. Which I am totally normal about. Hehe.” She finished her statement, by shaking her head as a stim.

The pair chuckled, as they walked into the massive bathroom. Her shower was more of a hot tub in size frankly, but Hazel didn’t like calling it that. Made her feel too rich, apparently.

Her symbiote prodded her mind for her attention. ‘Would you mind if I fronted during our shower? Washing us would be quite fun. And… hmm. I could try to leave control over the mouth loose, so you could speak as well? Make conversation easier and such.’ Susie quickly nodded her consent, and felt herself being swapped out once more. It was surprising how it always felt nice. Back in her mind, away from the hidden stressors of having a body. Except, this time, she felt a tiny thread of thought tethered to herself. Tethered to the body itself. Huh. A little mental tug, and she could probably hop in to speak, like she said.

Umbra sauntered forward, lowering her muzzle to look directly at Hazel. Her pet. “Helllllo~ little Hazel! How are you doing, cutie? Enjoying yourself?~”

Hazel’s eyes lit up, in their signature pet-like adoration. “Y-yes, Mistress! I really- wahh?!” She was interrupted by her owner, rather than asking her to just step inside, picking her up and placing her in the shower.

She innocently giggled, while slowly starting to undress the girl. “Sorry, I just wanted to wash you! Is that alright?” Her skirt was teasingly lowered down her legs.

“Yyyeah! That’s fine…” Her blush was reaching critical levels. She resisted trying to cover her face. Mistress would probably not let her anyway.

Her owner leaned in, tickling her ear with her breath. “Good girl.” Hazel’s shirt was lifted up, and over her arms. “You can move again, by the way dear. Just don’t go running on me~ Did you two have anything fun planned for today, as well?”

“Oh! Thanks! Um. Not sure, we usually just wing it. We’ll probably play some fighting games or something? Might also hop on our Minecraft server- eep?!” Her bra was unclasped, and tossed aside. Hazel’s nipples quickly stiffened in the cold bathroom air.

Susie laughed at her response, gently tugging the rope of control. “That sounds fun! Not sure if we’ll be able to keep our hands off each other today, though~” That was the understatement of the century. Umbra would have to give them both anti-horny juice if they hoped to do ever anything productive together, now that they allowed themselves to be intimate with each other.

The still puppygirl’s head tilted, to look at the newcomer in a bit of surprise. She giggled once she processed what Susie said. “Maybe! Hehe. Switched back already, Susie?”

“Not necessarily, Umbra just did a thing to let me pop in and chat while she fronts.” This statement was accentuated with their hand, controlled by the symbiote, coming up to flick her pet’s nipple. She earned a horny yelp in response. Susie just laughed. “See? I didn’t do that!”

“I-I see!!” She was being bullied!

Her symbiote slithered back in, and placed a claw around Hazel’s neck. She halted, latent prey instincts telling her to freeze at the feeling of a predator’s sharp claws around her neck. A husky voice spoke into her ear. “Calm down, silly dog. I’m just taking off your collar while we shower!”

Said dog gulped in a big helping of air. Where had that come from? “O-oh, okay…” She let her owner fiddle with her collar, staying silent for a bit. Hazel idly toyed with her hands, eyes staring down at the floor. She gulped. “Hey, uh… I wanted to ask Susie something.”

Umbra tossed her collar into her hamper. Susie spoke up. “What’s up?”

Their eyes came to focus upon Hazel once again. She was… really nervous, obviously. Her owner placed a supportive paw on her shoulder. Hazel turned to Susie, but wasn’t quite able to look her in the eyes. “What… are we, Susie..?”

Their eyes blinked in surprise. “Huh? Whaddya mean?”

Hazel winced painfully. “O-our relationship, I mean.”

Ah. Of course she meant that! “Oh. Duh. I’m sorry, Hazel. I forgot we hadn’t actually talked about that. Got uh… Wrapped up in everything.” She nudged Umbra, asking for control over their arm. With access granted, she cupped Hazel’s cheek with a paw. They said they loved each other, sure but… Susie had just assumed, until now. “Maybe… girlfriend, if you’ll have me? A partner?”

The girl’s face lit up like the sun, and pulled them into a massive hug. “God, yes! I love you, Susie!! So much, so fucking much!!!” She was tearing up a bit. The girl knew logically she was going to say that. But the part of her that told her she wasn’t worth loving had to be proven wrong.

Susie rubbed the girl’s hair. “I can’t believe we waited so long. It must’ve been obvious we liked each other. Useless lesbians, am I right?”

Her girlfriend snorted in laughter. “Yeah. Useless lesbians. That’s us to a tee!” She nuzzled their snout with her own nose for a moment, before pulling away. “So… we should shower now, right?”

She nodded, letting Umbra take full control again. “Way ahead of you, pup~” A claw twirled the bath’s knob, sending hot water cascading upon them, granting a moan of satisfaction from the two. “Ooh, that is nice~ Haven’t felt that before.”

Hazel’s eyes were closed in pleasure. Water dripped down her hair, falling to the floor of the ‘shower.’ “Thanksssss…” Her eyes fluttered open once again. “Oh yeah… Similar question, if its okay? What sort of relationship do you have with Susie, um, Mistress?”

Umbra’s expression went to surprise. “I-” don’t know, she was about to say. A sudden pit of worry filled her. She could feel Hazel and Susie looking at her, concerned. ‘Oh, god.’

She quickly pulled herself and Susie into their headspace, leaving their body visibly vacant. Her presence anxiously shivered next to Susie’s own.

Susie quickly wrapped around Umbra with her mind. ‘What’s wrong, Umbra?!’

‘I… what kind of relationship could I even have with you, Susie? I’m not human. Nowhere close.’

‘Wh… what? Why should that matter? Neither am I, right now!’

‘You don’t understand. I’m not a person. I’m just… a sentient pile of goo that happened to imprint on you. I don’t have memories of my own. Even my personality was… created, in response to you.’

‘Created? Do you mean..?’

‘Yes. I… When my instincts latched onto you… My personality was formed, I believe making myself as much of a suitable guest as it could. I’m… sorry. I didn’t know when to say it so I… just didn’t.’

She was stunned. “But… how… I, could believe if you didn’t know anything maybe before meeting me. B-but you weren’t a person before that even? That’s ridiculous!”

Pure shame radiated from Umbra. It was stifling. “I… I’m sorry. I would undo it if I could… I feel disgusting, Susie! I was made specifically to be the ideal personality for you! Its as if I’ve been… grooming you, and I didn’t even have a choice!”

Susie tackled her symbiote’s essence in a bear hug. “Hey, none of that. You didn’t get a choice in how you were made. And grooming? You’re like one of the nicest people I’ve met! You’re literally in my mind and body, and still so respectful of boundaries, Umbra!”

Umbra melted into her encouragement. “I… Thank you. Sorry. I should have brought that up earlier. This is… an awkward time for this, definitely. I love you, Susie.”

“I love you too, Umbra. You’ve been great to me. You’ve made me a lot more comfy in my body. So, thank you.” She nuzzled into her form. “Hmm. Would… that happen again, if you moved to Hazel, or something?”

She shook her mental head. “I don’t think so. This feels… final. Which, is a relief.”

Susie sighed. “Good. I wouldn’t want you to get… erased, if you wanna hop into Hazel.” She moved forward, to whisper to Umbra. “So… girlfriends, then?~”

Umbra chuckled. “Girlfriends, then. I love you, Susie.”

A flood of sensation rushed into them, as they staggered back into their body. Susie sputtered out, “oof. Okay yeah, sorry about that. Some… stuff, came up. We’re girlfriends, Hazel.” The thought made them both smile.

Hazel clapped her hands excitedly. “Yay! We’re all girlfriends and stuff! I’m glad.” She grabbed her shampoo, and stopped. “Y’all could wash me! And um. Do you need to wash… under Mistress, Susie? Like your h- normal form?”

Her Mistress considered for a moment. “Maybe. It could be a good chance for you to look at her new body!~”

The pup’s eyes widened. “Wait. New body? This form isn’t just… you, Mistress?”

She smirked. “That’s right, little Hazelnut! I did in fact transform her, quite completely. Would you like to see?”

Hazel just nodded. Susie was excited, too! She had assumed her new form was in fact just Umbra, but… She did more, clearly.

The symbiote moved their arm up, presenting it to them. A tingle started in the tip of their claw, and Susie was stunned. The latex slowly receded, and black, keratin tipped claws were revealed. Black, shiny fur ran down her paw. Actual, organic flesh. She turned their paw over. Pinkish red paw pads greeted her. She would cry if she was actually in the front. Umbra genuinely changed her species. She was now a fox girl, regardless of the symbiote being in her.

The latex receded further up her arm, revealing more smooth fur. This, was when the good ended. This was when they entered the depths of hell.

A slight stinging sensation made itself known in her claw. The muscles in her paw started twitching. ‘U-Umbra? What’s going on?’

She replied uncertainly in their mind. ‘I, I don’t know. Just… you’re nerves adjusting, maybe? It should go away.’

It didn’t. The stinging gave way to sudden, shooting pain. Umbra’s coating had stopped trying to recede at this point. Her entire arm was engulfed in pure napalm.

Tears blotted their eyes, and yet they looked down. Hazel was cowering in worry, shower forgotten. Their arm… It looked normal at first. Then their fur started falling off. Rapidly. They were too stunned to do anything. Beneath her fur… was mottled skin. Deeply, deeply bruised, with more rapidly forming.

Umbra was hyperventilating. This was Susie’s ideal body, and it was literally falling apart in front of her. She shook her head. “I-I don’t know what’s happening, I’m sorry! Fuck, I need to coat it again!” She rapidly sent her latex coating back over her arm, just spying blood beginning to seep through, before her arm was once again coated by Umbra.

They fell to the floor, overwhelmed. Water pooled at their knees; shed fur had clogged their drain. Susie felt tears appear at the edges of her eyes. “Wh-what’s wrong with my body..?”

Umbra shuddered. “I… I don’t know. It was as if… your entire immune system just began attacking every cell in your body…”

She couldn’t say anything. Hazel just stumbled into their arms, too worried for them to speak.

“I think… it may be due to your species change, Susie.”

 

---

 

Umbra took over, gently taking care of and washing the two. She unclogged the drain, and discarded the fur that had filled it. She was silent, free of her usual teasing. Like Susie was.

If Umbra truly left her, as she was, she would die in under a minute. Even just… Umbra receding into her wasn’t enough to prevent the damage. If she wanted to go without her for a bit… she would have to become human again.

She didn’t think it had upset her, before this. Being human. She had plenty of gender dysphoria in the past, sure. But… Susie hadn’t properly thought of species dysphoria before. Its not exactly something you can get HRT for, after all. She’d always resonated with foxes, and identified as a fox girl. Who knew it was such a serious identity, though? Now that she tasted being that, and might have to give it up, Susie felt sick to her stomach.

Susie… had a lot of therian friends, namely Hazel. She hadn’t put that much thought into it herself, thinking she was just a furry.

Upon being presented with an alternative, her mind realized: being human sucked. And… there were countless others that felt like this. Like Hazel. Her stomach turned inside itself. She made up her mind. ‘Can I have the front, Umbra?’

Umbra looked up, from her task. They had spaced out for quite a while, lost in thought. She had just finished drying off Hazel, and was wrapping her in a blanket, so they could relax on her couch together. “Sure thing, sweetie. Are… you alright?”

’Yeah… I, I know what we need to do now.’

Susie slipped back into their body. Her true body, only protected by the thin layer of her latex girlfriend. “Hey, Hazelnut. I wanna talk to you.” She cupped her girlfriend’s cheeks in her paws, gently stroking them. Her big, puppy eyes looked up at her.

Her voice croaked. “H-hey, Susie. She… told me what happened. I’m so sorry.” Sympathetic tears rolled down her cheeks.

She wiped her tears away. “Its okay. On… the plus side, it helped me decide what I want to do with Umbra’s help.” Susie placed her paws on both of Hazel’s shoulders. “You… hate being human, right? You said as much earlier.”

Hazel quivered, and twiddled her fingers. “Y-yeah. There’s not exactly anything I can do about it, though, y’know? I, kinda have to forget about it so it doesn’t hurt. You kind of got around that, but… you’re honestly probably the only person in the world like this, right now.”

A claw went up, to stroke her puppy’s hair. “I know. That’s why… We’re going to fix that, for you. For everyone. No matter how long it takes. I want to be your hero. And not some caped loser that beats up the criminally insane… I want to fix the world.”

Her therian girlfriend looked up at her in awe. Umbra spoke through her mouth. “That’s… ambitious. I support you, though. My puppy needs a body she’s comfortable in, frankly. What’s your plan?”

Susie took a deep breath in. “First, we raid Eclipse Industries. Find out everything we can on you, Umbra. See if we can get past this species limitation. Then… we make more of you. For everyone. Somehow.”

Notes:

And so, Act 1: Eclipse truly starts~ :3c

We have three loosely planned acts for the whole story. I'm not going to say what they are of course, that would be spoilers! But I think it'll be fun.

Chapters will keep on being 3k-4k words each as for now, coming out when I can do them. Ideally, two a week maybe! No promises, though.

Funny quirk about writing as a plural person? I get fictives of most of my characters that I really resonate with. I'm under a tenth of the way through the story, and Umbra is already real, in our head lmao

Umbra: I am!~ I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Act 1 and certainly Act 2 have quite a bit to look forward to regarding myself~
