[completed] Willow Astor is, or at least was, a completely normal guy. That is, until he went in a forest, started a fire, and ended up transmigrating. In a bl novel. It would've been somewhat alright if that certain novel didn't have a fujoshi narcissist sister who transmigrated with him, an obviously smitten male lead, over the top characters and the things his sister made him do 'for the sake of the plot'! Can a straight guy survive in a place where every single person is a stereotypical bl character? Or would he be bent and forced to give in to became a typical bottom? A/N the author won't be responsible for the brain cells you will lose while reading this. Word count= ~75000

i'm having to basically rewrite parts of this story to meet the draconian Texas laws against porn. Some parts will change over the next few weeks. This is meant as a casual autobiography mixed with financial and sexual wish fulfillment. The character will start to impact events with a cell phone (connected to modern internet) and untraceable email with links to directly influence businesses and governments. There will also be a religious shift to angle towards more separation of Church and State (Ideal world), and some plot armor cheats. Don't expect quick updates. The research needed for my intended impact on the world will be pretty extensive, as is my reading and gaming addictions, and i also work a full time job. Yes, i have loosely based the characters on real people and events (mostly personality stereotypes and the typical basis of flawed memories. Names and locations outside of the public domain will be altered enough to at least give plausible deniability. Please keep in mind that the personal relationships and characters will be greatly altered by the wish fulfillment part of the story. This story will include some sadly historical topics including: drugs, alcohol, and the murder and suicide of people that i've known; as well as the known events in pop culture. The character will also share my political, religious, hetereoflexible sexuality, and hometown first views. If a centrist libertarian, that doesn't like the Christian beliefs, and favors Dallas, Texas above all other cities might offend you; you have been warned. For Texas legal purposes all characters go through a time warp at birth to make them 18 years old in this fictional universe. The months/years are also twice as long in order to meet legal requirements elsewhere. In the view of the laws of this fantasy world the girls must either be within 3 years +/- their partner's age, or all characters must be of legal age in this universe as well. To balance that it is presumed that all money in this world is worth twice as much as in our world (less inflated), and therefore every person has 50% more disposable income (and more savings as well). There will be no declared relationships, so NTR in either direction won't matter to the main character. In regards to Yuri, the main character will encourage it during multiple partner scenarios, but will not care about it otherwise. i've given up on making a usable discord, so i won't advertise one.

A picture that accidentally fell out of a book excited a host of recollections in the narrator, a Russian-English interpreter and spy twenty years before, who had accompanied a small British delegation during its two days visit to Moscow in the early nineties of the past century. The delegation consisted of the top manager of a big British arms company – his name is Robert Hewlett - and his secretary Mary Kilgorn. The narrator – his name is Sergey - is about forty, very handsome (and he’s fully aware of this fact as it soon comes out, because he uses his good looks and charm as a means of worming secrets out of the women he comes into close contact with). The novel is set in the early nineties Moscow with its horrible realities of wild capitalism, raging criminality, total corruption and degradation of moral values.
