🛡️ Basil and the Spineless Mount

That fateful day the Spineless Knight set out to patrol the area but bravely running away from danger was not an option... XDReading Time: about 4-6 minutes

The kingdom of Foldale was home to many unique people with extraordinary abilities, but none quite like that of Basil. Born with an incredible flexibility, he could bend and contort his body in ways unimaginable, earning him the name of Spineless Knight among those who knew of his talents. His long blond hair was always tied back into a ponytail to keep it out of his eyes while he adventured, revealing the intricate details of his armored leotard that hugged every curve and muscle on his body.

Archie, who served as Basil's squire, possessed an equal level of flexibility that matched his knight's. He was a head shorter than Basil with blond hair that was also shorter in length. Despite his smaller stature, Archie moved with the agility and grace of a cat. Together, these two joined their spineless forces on numerous adventures throughout Foldale and beyond its borders.

Their partnership wasn't limited to fighting bendits; they also found time for love in the evenings. As sunlight turned to dusk, Basil and Archie would share a tender moment in the nearby inn they crossed on their adventures. They had fallen deeply in love with each other, and it was clear that their bond was as unbreakable as their spines.

🛡️ 🛡️ 🛡️

One day, as they were traveling through a dense forest, Basil and Archie's eyes widened at the sight before them – a clearing filled with mushrooms that seemed to take on humanoid forms, their movements alluring and enticing. It was unclear whether these were plants or some sort of magical creatures, but one thing was certain: they beckoned Basil and Archie closer as if inviting them for pleasures.

As usual in dangerous situations, Basil folded his back tight and used his spinelessness to bravely run away, but this time, things didn't go according to plan. Basil's heart raced as he saw the mushrooms closing in on his beloved squire. They got all over him! Basil knew that time was running out, so he quickly took action.

Basil couldn't believe what he was seeing as the mushrooms began to envelop Archie's body more and more. He knew he had to do something and quickly, so he used his own power of flexibility to twist into the heap of mushrooms and then unfolded himself in one powerful move to break their grip on Archie and toss them around the clearing.

Basil quickly took Archie's hand, when he noticed that something strange was happening to it. Instead of the usual hand he knew, it felt more like a paw of a cat. He was afraid to take a closer look at his boyfriend but forced himself to do so and was shocked by what he saw – Archie was steadily gaining some strange feline features.

The knight was in shock as he watched his once human lover change before his eyes. He didn't understand what was happening and why his squire was turning into an animal. The transformation was complete, and now there stood before him a large white lion with yellow eyes.

🛡️ 🛡️ 🛡️

Basil didn't know why this was happening or how to stop it, but one thing was clear – their love for each other remained unchanged. Basil approached the lion gently, speaking softly as he would have done with his boyfriend. The big cat purred in response, seeming to understand Basil's comforting touch. As they looked into each other's eyes, both human and feline knew that their bond was unbreakable, no matter the form they took.

The mission was clear – to transform Archie back into human form. However, an impish glint suddenly shone in Archie's eyes. For once, he appeared much larger and more powerful than his partner, with even longer and curlier blond hair. He wasn't just any ordinary lion; he was a mythical creature straight from the pages of legend books!

Without hesitation, Basil realized his friend's intentions as he always did without fail. He stretched out on the grass while spreading his legs, allowing the big beast to crawl atop him.

As the boy-turned-lion pounced onto Basil's body, the knight couldn't help but feel a mix of fear and excitement coursing through his veins. Despite the strange circumstances, he knew that Archie was still the same person inside. As they lay together on the grass, Basil wrapped his arms around Archie, holding him close as he purred contentedly in his mane. The two friends spent hours enjoying themselves and exploring the new possibilities.

🛡️ 🛡️ 🛡️

Days turned into weeks, and soon it was clear that Archie had no intention of changing back to his human form. Basil accepted this new reality with open arms, reveling in the chance to explore their love without the constraints of societal norms. Together, they roamed the countryside, causing mischief wherever they went and delighting in each other's company.

Surely, one day they chanced upon a sorcerer who possessed the power to lift Archie's curse. With his aid, they were able to reverse the transformation and restore Archie to his former life as a squire, but it wasn't before the boy had plenty of fun exploring his gorgeous lion form.

What do you think? 😄
This has an optical illusion-like quality :O
I had big plans for making it look like a horse from afar, but it turned out to be a lot harder than I thought... So here's my best attempt after spending a crazy amount of time on it. Oh well, at least it still looks like something :D
Incredible, I wish some day we see him melt 😋
😅
I personally love any and all of your anthro creations! I could look at this all day .... and just might.
I'm glad you enjoyed the scene - it took me a very long time to complete. Thanks for taking your time to appreciate all the hard work that went into it.
Shifty
Why do you do this to me Yuni :D like few days before I was dreaming about somehow similar story, how can I now tell it and not look like complete idea stealer! That said it must be clear I like your story a lot :)
Ah and to imagine cuddly moments they will have together is so soft.

As image goes I like it really lot, not gonna lie and tell there aren't little bits which could not be improved. But it is only because pose of this lion with friend riding him is so unusuall!

Hmm now I go to dream about soft cuddly catboys :) thanks
Oh my gosh, that's so funny! It's always interesting when we have similar ideas at the same time - maybe contortion has its own "noosphere"... or its own "astral" XD

I'm glad you like my story! I had a lot of fun writing it. And I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the cuddly moments between them.

As for the image, I can see what you mean about the pose being unusual. But I think it adds to the whimsy and charm of the piece. Plus, who doesn't love a good catboy?

I hope your dreams are filled with lots of soft and cuddly catboys tonight! Thanks for reading and commenting! :D

Damn it, that's just beautiful. This is one of the rare ones where the story is better than the picture, but only because the story is so good.

I don't want to be dismissive of the picture, and I won't be. You did something a lot of people can't manage — do short fur around, say, the torso to show off definition, and don't make it look like skin out of laziness.

God damn Basil makes want to do nasty things to him.

This kind of reminds me of the old Rumplemintz from back in the day. They were always in Playboy, I remember. Just google "rumplemintz valkyrie" and it'll come right up. I always wanted to have a van to put that on side of.

I hope you have more to keep going with this. Seriously...

Last... You couldn't move Basil forward just a little bit toward Archie's deliciously furry thighs and made that pose functional? I think that's what it is... Your pictures are always so sensual and have a weird virtual tactile sense, and fur over muscle is such a great feeling. I just want to spend all day running my fingers through his fur!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot coming from someone with your expertise in the field.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story as well. I try to make my pictures do more - like telling a story, evoking emotions or even as you said, virtual tactile sense... But of course the main goal is being eye candy anyway :D

Thank you again for your feedback! I hope to continue creating pictures that excite and inspire you!
