The Strange Case of Henry Banner and Danica Carew

[Claire]

@TromboneDalek I don't have plans to continue this story. It was just a uick scenario I thought up for a contest here.

Sounds like a fun teacher.

Can I ask you for a small favor? I think you read and left kudos for my story Men at War on AO3. Could you give it a rating here too? Rating stories helps the forum a lot.

@Labaal That's a bit off topic here, but Divergent Limit will not include any noncon scenes. Consensual scenes will of course be affected by what happened in Record Chaser and Late Satisfaction. But Divergent Limit is a story about healing and (re)discovering your sexuality after trauma.

I wrote two novellas dealing extensively with rape and another dozen or so short to medium length stories. With Divergent Limit I now want to explore a new psychological facet: recovery.

That being said, if you enjoy a more psychological angle to noncon stories, give @chloevee's stories a look. Sadly, she seems to have left the community, but the few stories she did leave us count among the best of what the site has to offer. Her stories are criminally underrated. Uncle Nick is a great one.

@Claire
This one flew under my radar until it resurfaced a few days ago. Considering the shorter length I deemed it a good bedtime story yesterday.
Was not disappointed.

I have never read the "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" but I knew the title.
Curiously I did immediately think of Bruce Banner when reading that last name, but not making the connection Banner/Hulk --> Jekyll/Hide.

I enjoyed the nerdy pieces that where strewn throughout.


This one did indeed tug a bit at the heartstrings. Obviously a rape was to be expected, but I find it always a bit sad if someone just wants to have a good time and it goes to shit by no fault of their own.
This was a cute couple, and the consensual part of the story alone could cary itself no problem.
In the non-con segment I did appreciate the anal part.

Can they rebound from this?
Unlikely, but perhaps. At least she has seen that it was not "him".

Also: Concratulations on your next popular story.
Seemingly I was the one who brought it up to the treshold but didn't realise it.
Thanks @Lucius for doing the announcement

@AdmiralPiet Don't worry, I think it was actually @Lucius who couldn't resist giving the story its 30th point.

So the names are chosen as hommages. Henry Banner is an amalgamation of Henry Jekyll and Bruce Banner. The name Danica Carew is inspired by Sir Danvers Carew, a man that gets murdered by Hyde. Danica was just a female name I thought sounded vaguely similar to Danvers.

I enjoyed writing the nerdy banter in the middle too. I might have gone a little overboard as I almost ran out of words at the end there. That's the reason for the somewhat abrupt ending.

Ah. So the system doesn't update the time when someone edits and earlierrating?
I was sure I stayed below, but then it was at the threshold, and my rating is the last in the list.

I did get that... just later. If it is not a very big thread I also read replies from other people. So I knew the hommage part.
Just found it curious that my brain got that the title was refering to Jekyll and Hyde, and was thinking of Bruce Banner, but did not make the connection that both men have something similar going on.
Carew also sounded familiar, I just could not place it. I think I read summarys of the book when I saw scenes from "The League of extraordinary Gentlemen" to understand what Jekyll and Hyde are.

When copying the text and seeing the red line "My turn!" I was also thinking of Venom.

Didn't see it like that.
I thought it was a good ending, or rther a good point in the story to leave open ended.
