OMFG, THE ENDING! That is so fucking them.

I really like this, it's hot and still, somehow very sweet.

SEX POLLEN PARTY WITH THE UUUUUSED! Um. Yeah, I can pretty much write a whole series where they're like, "What're we doing tonight?"

"Jepha's gonna rock some of the gatorade."

"Yessssss, awesome."

I'm glad that hot/sweet combination came across. I was pretty obsessed with making it porny while still making it Used-like. Thanks so much for reading this, and for letting me know what you thought.

omg this is amazing

I love how you incorporated the band being worried about him and him being out of it. Also their is never enough GSF in the world.

I downloaded some of the songs off the playlist and really like how well 'Kiss Kiss' fits this story. I have never seen the Justice vs Simian track titled 'Never Be Alone,' I have always seen it as 'We are Your Friends' and now I am wondering which title is right :\

There's a severe lack of Used GSF around, at least as far as I've encountered, and even though it is decidedly not my specialty, I'm glad to at least have gotten the ball rolling. :D

Kiss Kiss was one of the songs I listened to on repeat for this story, actually. That whole playlist was stuff I listened to at various points, but I think that song was one of the few that really played the entire time. :D And dude, I think you're right, I think it's "We are your friends." I must have downloaded a mislabeled version.

Anyway, thank you for letting me know that you liked it, and for taking the time to read.

The original Simian version of the song is called "Never Be Alone", the Justice remix is called "We Are Your Friends". You've seen the video for the latter, right? I think it's one of the videos that beat out Kanye at some dumb awards ceremony, leading to yet another Kanye-brand hissyfit!

Sweet God, yes.

I have such a weakness for sex pollen, man, it's always yes when there's sex pollen in the offing. :D I'm glad you enjoyed -- thanks.

oh wow. so i had to go look at your primer because though i know who they are and have seen a few clips and listened to some tracks i get them all mixed up. except for bert and i recognise jepha when he is naked and holding a pineapple.

this was fantastic. at the start i wasn't sure if it was going to go 'magical sex pollen' or 'drug induced haze'. tbh i still wasn't sure, but it actually just didn't matter!

the neediness was palpable, and the blokey, affectionate sexing was a revelation.

*edits part out* (you can read it if you do email notifications!)

I love when I force people to go back and rock the primer in order to get who the hell I'm porning on about. Thank you for doing so! (Bert is the one people can't really get confused about. He's the gremliny one, the end.)

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, and that those elements worked for you! I'm feeling a little insecure about these stories, for whatever reason, and it's good that the parts I really felt needed to work did.

And oh my god I am laughing. Poor you! I fully support you C&Ping into a word doc and doing find and replace. Man, I'm giggling over that. Ahaha.

Again, I'm glad you enjoyed, and thank you so much for replying.

Oh my god. I AM RESTRAINING MYSELF FROM JUST FILLING THIS ENTIRE COMMENT WINDOW WITH KEYBOARD MASHING, SO YOU KNOW.

THIS! The whole thing! Hot! Awesome! I don't think I've ever read sex pollen written quite how you wrote it, either. It's clearly sex pollen, but it was different, somehow. I loved the birds winding through it (they made me wonder more about Quinn's acid trip, if maybe it's something that's come up before. Birds could be scary as hell).

And the last little bit with Kyte is so perfect I will possibly be smiling FOREVER now.

I AM SO FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS STORY UGH UGH UGH. So the keysmash is so nice? It really is. I was so happy to read a capslocky comment, you don't even know.

(I had a STRESS DREAM about FANFICTION last night, fact. Ick, self. Step away from the internet.)

I was kind of trying something with the perspective, because I haven't seen any sex pollen written from the affected person's perspective (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that I have yet to see it). It definitely was hard to do, actually, and I'm still not satisfied at all with it.

HEE! That part was one I planned on since about the middle of the fic. Of course Dan gets on Kyte! Now it's Jepha's turn, c'mon guys! Sex pollen party on the Used bus!

Um, anyway. Thank you, again, I really appreciate this comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and so selfishly glad that you told me so. :D

There are a couple stories from last summer where Frank is in heat and it's his POV, but that's a little different.

[sinsense]

I remember those! I should've reread them to think through it more carefully. Eck. Anyway.
