When you’re trying to dig up buried secrets about an institution - like your uni, for instance - be wary of how far they’ll go to protect those secrets… This is an all-time favourite of mine, one of a few I’ve reread dozens of times because it’s guaranteed to get me molten. Professor Yamada’s patronising induction (“I know when a student needs a nap”), the robotic way Sarah acts while in trance (not reacting at all to Yamada rapping on her head with her knuckles, or popping a chewing gum bubble in her face) - aagh I can’t handle it it’s too hot… And that’s before we get to the main event, which explains the title. Personally I can go either way on hypnotic animal transformation, either in real sessions or fictional scenarios - it really depends on how it’s depicted or how the subject reacts. In this case, it’s simply delicious, with the public humiliation adding even more spice. I highly, highly recommend it.

So many great things about this story! I adore the central dynamic of the dominant professor and the confident, smart, smug college student who gets brainwashed into an obedient, gaslit submissive. The way the story eroticizes blind obedience to authority is super hot, and the way it and caps that off with Sarah destroying all the work she had been so proud of before she had been hypnotized is SO good. Petplay isn’t normally my thing tbh, but Sarah basically going feral while naked REALLY did something for me. This is a story I come back to a lot
