All Comments on 'Bound to the Turnings of the Wheel'

This was really sweet and a nice read.

Brilliant weaving of the wheel of time with the real world, really enjoyed it

J'ai hâte qu'il y ai une suite car l'histoire ai vraiment sympa à lire et surtout sais excitant la monté de la soumission en visio jusqu'au réel

Enjoyed the read. I hope you intend to write more stories for us on this site. I feel like this story was not categorized correctly. I think it should have been under the Sci-Fi/Fantasy but that's just me.

Certainly didn't take away from the story telling.

5/5

Five stars. I love the world building. Everything you've shown us is a natural consequence of what was depicted in the books. The use of the two way sensation thing for sex is especially clever. I'm sad I didn't think of it myself.

I will note that while neither Robert Jordan nor Brandon Sanderson wrote it explicitly or at least not pornographically, I have no doubt that Lanfear or the Seanchean used sex as a tool to break and control captives. It would have been a potent tool in their hands, both for intended purposes and for (for the forsaken) a way of staving off boredom.

The way some of the sul'dam treated their damane in the books, and the way some of the damane reacted to their handlers; strongly suggested a form of petplay and a sexual component to those relationships.

On a separate note - the relationship between Nynaeve Al'meara and Lan Mandragoran (once they got married) also smelled a great deal like a behind-closed-doors bdsm relationship, where Nynaeve was in charge in public and Lan was in charge in private.

Then there was Faile Bashere, and her capture by the rogue Aile - and the way the Aile used shame and public nudity as a punishment and a tool for control of their wetlander captives. No doubt power dynamics and sex played a part in some of those interactions, as well. And, of course, most of the relationships with the main characters involved some form of power dynamic even if I think most of them were maybe just a teensy bit kinky, but not much more.

Oh, yeah - and don't forget that Matt Cauthon had two women that called him, "toy."

WOT was a brutal world. Sex was certainly used as a tool in all the senses; and sometimes as a potent stress-relief.

On a story level, the wheel of time tv series was as much a disappointment as The Lord of the Rings tv series they came out with, I think; and as much as the Disney star wars trilogy and perhaps some of their other choices.

Certainly, it disappointed in the lack of subtle kinkiness, too - although I could have forgiven that if they'd gotten the story half-way right.

Magical collar and gag, my *rse.

Those were costume props and nothing else so they could deliberately avoid kinky undertones.

So yeah, I appreciate what you did here. Excellent work.

BDSM isn't usually my thing because it's too close to outright abuse. This is a tasteful and gentle picture of what it could be when there is true love and mutual trust and respect. Thank you.
