What happens when a self-proclaimed “hypnospace psychonaut hyena bitch” from Philadelphia accidentally intrudes on the dysphoria nightmares of a severely depressed aphantasiac from London? Well, we’re on ReadOnlyMind.com so the answer is definitely kink-positive hypnosis.

This is by far my favourite story on this site. It is exceptionally affecting, and very dark in parts, but the characters feel so grounded that I can’t help but keep coming back and reliving their trauma. Probably doesn’t help that more than one character feels a little too relatable… My only complaint is that there isn’t more of it, I’d absolutely love to get to see how Lucas grows into their identity should any more of it ever get written.
