i get that sexual repression lead him to this situation, but todd's sexual repression was diff, and it felt so wrong for him to be there frfr.

I set up Todd being bicurious fairly early, but I can see how the Todd stuff might *seem* a bit sudden in the pacing of the update.
I did want to portray some realism is how a lot of men in gay social situations can have their first experiences very suddenly and very abruptly.
I could pace the social scene out a little more before Will has an option to do the scene with kane or not, but that would be in an editing stage for later.
Thanks for reading, and the feedback!

personally my problem with todd being included in this spontaneous 4some (sort of) is his personality as a kind of akward goofball, which translated really good with his first scene with sam. both scenes are very spontaneous and i could buy that todd is driven by his curiosity and powerful and more experienced men around him, but imo it's out of character for william to just accept his deputy eating that dick right next to him. it's the most off-putting thing for me, the radical shift of power dynamics between todd and will, kind of OOC? still a very hot scene, don't get me wrong, but it's straaaaange
thanks for writing and amazing artwork! <3

Yeah, I can see why it can feel strange (especially for small town clueless cop like Todd, or will putting up with it), but I've definitely seen situations play out like this IRL where friends who aren't attracted to one another have sex with other people in the same room, so it's not like I personally think it's unbelievable.
This is a scene where a lot of characters are letting loose to put their minds off of the stress of what's going on and just let their instincts lead them to a small patch of enjoyment that they rarely ever get to have.
(I'd also say it was more of two twosomes in one room than a 4some, and that one of the twosomes turns into somewhat of a threesome with will x kane x sam, but that's just semantics haha.)

okay, yeah, sure, i get your point! it also made me remember similar situations with me my friends (not attracted to each other) getting into some action with other people in the same space (under the influence of certain substances, and all of the characters were drunk, so it tracks). thanks for the feedback, it really shed a new light on things! <3

but with what i will agree — overanalyzing motives of these characters getting involved in sloppy drunk chaotic spontaneous sex is not fair in terms of us (readers) being mere observers, privileged to detach ourselves and think about this situation very thoroughly. as a queer man in a closeted government (russia) i can totally empathize with characters acting stupid in the flame of moment, absorbed by lust and desire. i've been in some very stupid and risky (yet sexy) situations, so i can see why such character as will can become unhinged for a moment. also risk factor may even further the desire and make it more spicyyyyy

Pretty much that. I think people want characters to be maximum logical at all times which... isn't really how people work.
And even William himself thinks a ton before he allows himself to do this (or doesn't, depending on your choices.)

yup, i even remembered that waaay back in second (i think?) will's scene, you as a reader can select an option of licking sam's cum, but will refuses. it's a nice setup for his change of heart (and dick i guess) much later

i guess thats valid, but i still made this meme out of frustration, so whatevs.
edit: william stated this was super duper stupid, i just fr hope this stupid decision is non-canon, im on my hands and knees prayin
