katikat"Ivan the Heartless" by Megan Derr
Rating: ♠ ♠ ♠
A freebie. A fairy tale about a prince who went on a quest to save three cursed friends. Sweet. The tone, the style really reminded me of old children stories, only the prince fell in love with a man here.
"Thankful" by Lissa Matthews
Rating: ♠
This short story simply didn't work for me. I love D/s but here, it felt like a father disciplining his son, not a dom taking care of his sub. And the fact that Thor and Bobby were visiting Bobby's conservative, close-minded parents and went for a bit of spanking into the woods right next to their house and even called each other "boy" and "sir" where the parents could overhear them... No, just no. There are stories where I can accept a D/s ship outside the bedroom but the power imbalance in this relationship was just too much for me, Bobby was way too immature, the whole time I had a feeling he was barely in his teens, not a grown man and a lawyer. Not my cuppa.
