Experience Metamorphosis. Embrace Purpose.
So I finally got around to reading the original human domestication guide story, and was largely underwhelmed. So I'm largely wondering- is there any story people would recommend if I gave the setting another shot?
I do like hypno a lot, but I'm generally less into the whole "mindless pet/bimbo" stuff, unless it's paired with other elements I like. I like identity play, surreality, and transformation quite a lot. FWIW, I've enjoyed a lot of queer microfiction horror, and queer mech posting.
Laws of Motion by ArmigerRose on A03 was a good read that deals with identity and transformation!
All of these are on AO3

From an affini's perspective with a focus on the change in perspective over a long life.
Laws of Motion and Divaricated are also really good.
