Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2017 16:33:44 -0500 From: Bear Pup Subject: Karl & Greg 12a Oi! You! Reader Guy, Hold it a minute. I don't get paid for people reading, but I also don't get off on upsetting people and pissing them off. A lot of stories are written from the point of view (POV) of an impartial observer, where what is related is what happened. This was NOT written that way. The first 11 chapters tell you what Greg BELIEVES he heard, saw and felt. It's why it is in first person past. Chapter 12 does the same from Karl's POV. Both are *wrong*. There are 3 parties involved (we haven't heard from Pa yet), but only the *fourth* POV, the impartial observer, is actually 'true'. Like most budding young men (more so when sex is remotely involved), Greg and Karl tend to perceive what they *expect* and not necessarily what is really happening. Greg utterly convinced himself that he had been frozen out for years; well, so did Karl. Both filtered reality to fit those concepts. If you can SERIOUSLY tell me that you did NOT do that when you were coming into manhood, especially when it came to sex, I applaud you. I don't believe you, but I applaud you. So, without spoilers (or at least not too much): Greg is NO ONE'S bitch; Karl is NO ONE'S Master; Pa is NO ONE'S monster. If that is good enough, please enjoy future chapters if and when I write them. ***** WITH SPOILERS: If you need to know more to be content, here are some spoilers. Stop reading when you get to a point you're okay. If you really don't like surprises, read them all, but then why read the stories at all? 1: Pa has spent the years since Mom passed trying to get through to both boys; Greg ignored him and Karl misunderstood everything. His increasingly-desperate search for a solution finally fell to the only thing left, and one of the only things guaranteed to penetrate a young man's brain: sex. When he thought about it, he also realised just how compatible Karl and Greg were. 2: Karl has two primary motivators (and neither is to punish or own his brother): to gain Greg's attention and acceptance, and to make Greg happy. Greg wants to be respected by Karl and Pa, and appreciated for what he brings to the family (and he utterly misunderstands how best to do both). Pa wants both of his head-up-the-arse self-absorbed sons to reconnect and give each other what they both need. 3: Pa never promised Karl a man-whore. He promised someone who could give what Karl needed. Karl, like Greg, heard what he *thought* he wanted to hear, just as Greg *thought* Pa promised to take his cherry. 4: Pa knew from the way Karl treated his lovers (including Pa's long-term pressure-relief, Uncle Billy), that the boy was tender and caring, not some sort of nascent über-stud. Pa knows that Greg dreams of being a slut, being used, but also knows that Greg really cannot relinquishing control anywhere except the bedroom (and not very well even there). Read through the early chapters; how often did Greg ONLY do what Pa instructed? How often did he subtly drive so much further than Pa intended? 5: Pa gets a LOT more than he bargained from when unleashing The Real Greg. Greg realises who and what he is (and no, it's not a bitch or sub, but 'pussy' might not be too far a stretch depending on how you define it). Karl stumbles into the perfect sexual and personal relationship with both father and brother. Pa is shocked to the core and delighted by his eventual relationship with both sons. All three fulfil needs they didn't even know they had. P.S. Have you donated to Nifty? Seriously? If you are invested enough in these stories to really care about Greg, Karl and Pa (and send dismayed mail about their mistreatment), don't you think you could give Nifty a bit to cover their digital room and board? Just sayin.
