Ma/Fa Stories

This story is a little bit offbeat for me. It's intended as an homage to a couple of excellent stories with similar themes published earlier by a couple of the best writers on SOL.

Warning to strokers: This story has some sexual content, but it is limited and slow to develop. / (Reviews)

The links on this chain are rusty and loose - and they hurt those who are joined by them.
