Is it just me, or does the narration forget the characters aren't human during the sex scenes? The anatomy and the blocking are mind-boggling.

Also, has anyone ever come across a reader-insert fic that actually works? Like, call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure I can put myself in the shoes of a character that has their own distinct but well-realized personality more easily than I can a character like this, whose only motivation seems to be freaky alien sex and who barely gets one coherent sentence of dialogue per chapter. I started thinking of "You" as the character's name, because it makes more sense that way, and You is about as interesting and sympathetic as wet cardboard.

I kinda feel bad for the literal Andalite bandits in this story. They exist for half a chapter and even get cute little bits of backstory, and then they're gone, unlamented, never to be heard from again (at least as far as chapter 4). They sound way more interesting than You. Can we get a story about them, and how Visser Three thought he'd finally triumphed over his enemies when he caught them, only to realize they're a bunch of pathetic cast-offs instead, and then they end up escaping and ruining his day anyway, because they're a Rag-Tag Band of Misfits and Wacky Hijinks Ensue? I would read the hell out of that.
