33 year old male looking for expert in potions or serums to do a nonsurgical gender and species transition. Can pay moderately well. 

With that, he hit enter. Lou wasn’t expecting an answer very soon, if at all. The young man was just tired. He had been working ten hour shifts at the local department store, and his parents were ragging him. It was bad enough that his father saw him as worthless and his mother trampled all over his dreams and disparaged him for coming out as transgender. He still used male pronouns, figuring he didn’t look like a female yet, so there was no reason to do anything about it. 

Still, it hurt that his family couldn’t accept this. So he thought about doing it as cheap and quickly as possible. But he hadn’t found anyone that could help yet. He had spent the past year, from the time he got his job in the clothing store to today, looking and searching. Lou just wanted to scream, but instead cracked open a cola from the minifridge next to his computer. He started the application, League of Orrath to take off the frustration, playing as his female vulpini warrior.

His mother was an alcoholic, though she only drank during the night due to having custody of his four year old nephew. His stepfather didn’t have custody but was still there unfortunately. Despite not marrying her, Lou still saw him as dad as it was all he knew. His nephew, the result of a druggy and thief brother and a druggy woman, was a gem. Born a little premature, Lou loved the little guy with all of his heart. 

But Lou and his family didn’t along because Lou didn’t have a job for a couple of years as he tried to get a writing and music career started. His stepfather called him useless and his mother just stood by and let it happen. The only decent relationship he had at this point was with his nephew. 

Lou was a couple of minutes into the game when a beep on his phone and desktop went off. He minimized the game and found a response notification beeping in the corner. Clicking on it opened his email client 

“Thank goodness for octocores.”

He joked, not expecting a response that fast. But when he did he found that it came from a Dr. Kaden.

Can you send me more specifics? Look, species, current look and species?

He blinked, not expecting that but shrugged. Maybe this doctor could help him after all. He opened the word processor and also took a quick snapshot. Lou bit his lower lip and started to type.

Hi Dr. Kaden,

Sure, I’m looking to be a fox. About 5’5”, thin and petite but still appropriately curvy. I’d say long hair, color isn’t that important.

As for myself, I’m 6’5, 230 lbs. Medium length brown hair eye, brown eyes. Heavy set but I carry it well. Just your typical normal early 30s human male. I’ll trouble with my family but that’s about it. I’ll need to find a new place to live but otherwise, nothing major. 

He clicked send and went back to his game, yawning about thirty minutes later. His mother had gone to bed a while ago and his nephew was snoring away. Lou looked at the clock and saw it as 2:2am. Shocked, to say the least, that the doctor was still awake and answering emails. That’s when he heard another beep and saw a response.

“Damn...that was fast...”

I might have what you're looking for. Please come to Orn Labs tomorrow and I'll get you started right away. You may even leave the labs a new you depending on how well you react to the treatment. And don’t worry, I can help you find a new place to live too.

Here’s the address:

555 Bigness St. 
Pittsburgh, PA

Dr. Kaden, Head of Orn Labs"

The next morning, Lou rode his bike to the address he was given in the email. He did his best to look presentable, wearing a simple black t-shirt and a pair of shorts. The three mile bike ride did cause a little sweat to fall off of his brow. The building was impossibly tall from the looks of it, and an endless shade of grey, without another single color to distract from it. Looking up made Lou dizzy. He took a moment, shook his head and then continued on through the double doors to the receptionist area. A lovely woman, a red panda by the looks of it, sat at the desk. She was looking down at her shirt, which couldn’t be buttoned around her breasts, with a look of angry and annoyance. Lou coughed to get her attention.

“May I help you?”

“I’m Lou, Dr. Kaden asked to see me this morning via email?”

He pulled out both his ID and the emails just in case. The panda looked them both over before touching a button and paging the doctor. This entire time Lou looked around the building and sighed. It was a quarter till eleven if the clock on the wall was accurate. The email hadn’t specified a time, so Lou tried to get there as early as possible. 

“The doctor will see you in a moment. Please take a seat.”

Lou nodded and took a seat as close to the door as possible, ready to leave just in case. It took about fifteen with Lou almost dozing off before a cough was heard. When Lou opened his eyes he nearly jumped out of his skin.

What stood before him should have been impossible, even by the standards of a reality where some animals evolved to be walking on two legs and talking, and yet before him was a very tall dragon. She had gray scales with a lighter shade from what he could see of her exposed underside. Two large wings, probably capable of flight, protruded behind her as did a large tail. 

What looked like very generous curves were barely contained within the labcoat and dress she wore.

“I’m Doctor Kade. Yes, I am very real. Every inch. I did it myself, I hope it’s capable of showing that I am very capable of doing what you need to do. It’s very nice to meet you, Mr. Ga...”

“Just Lou, please.”

“I’m Nimbus then.” 

They mutually nodded and then with a sweep of her arm, she motioned him forward. They walked together, making mostly small talk. Upon entering her office, Lou sat down and Dr. Kade pulled out a needle filled with a deep red liquid. She moved to clean it and then took Lou’s arm and cleaned an injection area. 

“This is to determine if you’re a good candidate or not. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Lou nodded, ready to accept anything at this point. All he wanted was his nightmare to be over and if it meant some weird ju-ju then so be it. He turned his head and winced as the needle went into his arm. It took all of two minutes before he felt nothing.

“Hmmm..”

He turned his head to see the doctor holding out a lollipop. Lou took it and tried not to laugh.

“So far noth..oh wait..there it is!”

He couldnt’ see her anymore, thinking he had gone blind. Instead, it turned out his hair grown rapidly and changed from the bright blonde he had to a deep, dark red.

“HOLY SHIT!!”

The dragoness laughed but nodded, holding out a bottle of a clear liquid. 

“That means it was a success, congratulations! Take this bottle, drink a half teaspoon every day twice a day.”

Lou nodded and reached into his pocket, moving the hair out of the way, and pulled out his wallet. Nimbus shook her head and put her talon over his hand.
“It’s on the house. It’s my way of ensuring that it happens. Speaking of, my secretary Mackenzie will give you an address. Go to it instead of your parents’ home. It’s my home. I want you to live with me until the changes are done.”

Lou nodded and got up, getting himself readjusted to standing and then headed out the door. He was unable to be sure what to say, a thank you would sufficed but the words wouldn’t form. There was something about the dragon that was intimidating and awesome. He couldn’t express it.

###

Lou had been at Doctor Kade’s home for about an hour. It was nice and big, perfect for a dragon. A human on the other hand, it was a little intimidating. But that felt normal. He was sitting on the couch, looking at the bottle.

“Twice a day? Only a teaspoon? Forget that….”

He downed the whole bottle after getting the cap off. He gave urk from drinking it all down before he felt this electric jolt travel up his arm. and the tingling spread into his chest, up his neck. He then felt it go down his back, and over to his other arm. It didn't exactly hurt, it actually felt good but freaked him out all at the same time. It stayed that way for maybe ten seconds, with his entire body gentling humming and then faded away as if it had never been.

He felt all rubbery inside, and odd pains flared up in his joints only to be gone seconds later. He thought a good walk around the block might help, but suddenly he couldn't stand up, his legs were weak. He looked down at his jeans. They looked baggier than usual, especially in the groin. That's when he noticed the shivers, goose-bumps dotting his bare arms.

He still could not stand up, and now his whole body felt insubstantial and powerless. Lou could barely lift a finger.  This was only a minor distraction as his mind soon  ared about was the by now severe shrinkage between his legs. There was barely anything left at all, and by the feel of things he could have sworn everything had tucked right up inside of him. He might not have been able to stand and he might have wanted to scream in both fear and joy, but for now all that came was a labored breathing.

That's when Lou started to notice them. Tiny, barely anything at all, but to a guy who had never known their weight and softness, save from the rare instances of hooking up with a girl here and there, and even then it was from a very different perspective, to him,  they felt monstrous and out of place, these lumps of flesh forming on his chest. The breasts also felt amazing to him, the smile forming on his face slowly.  Their tips were now ultra-sensitive and as they were pressed forward against his tee shirt. Somewhere along the line his breastbone had collapsed and his pecs had disappeared. Now what rose was soft and heavy and warm and... and... boobs. He was growing boobs!

The appearance of these two assets almost distracted him from feeling the rest of him manhood slipping up inside his body. It didn't hurt—it certainly didn't feel good either, the pain only began as the bones in his hips and pelvis as they started to widen. It felt like fire and needles prickling away deep in his hips and the restructuring caused disgusting creaking and crackling noises. In his lower torso, fat started to redistribute, his abs were losing definition as his whole waist collapsed into a classic, though not exaggerated hourglass.

He was losing height this whole time because of this two, slowly at first then as though by magic it started to gain speed until he was a shell of his former self, swimming his clothes this time Strength was just beginning to return to his muscles, most of which had shriveled up, especially in his torso and arms. He slowly started to take off his clothes, struggling around his I could now wriggle his dainty fingers whose nails now slightly eclipsed the tips and had smooth filed edges. They started to look like a mix of claw and finger nail. His muzzle had already pushed out and the fur spread out on his body, the numbness had made him unable to notice. His wrists were paper thin, or so it seemed,  and the hair on his arms was now flew blown orange-red fur. He wanted so badly to get up and run away to the doctor. 

Everywhere Lou felt smaller all over. The fat redistributed made its presence known on his chest which was now unavoidably modestly sized for his new size. Now fat covered his hips and filled up my butt like warm rubber as it thickened and raised him up when he sat down. He was now finished transforming. Lou felt bloated, as full and uncomfortable as he'd ever been in his life and this soon passed into horrible nausea but that too passed by like lightning, mercifully over very swiftly. Soreness crept into his boobs which were one of the few places on hi..her tiny body that hadn't ever stopped growing or so it felt.. They had gone from modest to pretty damn amazing. 

She finally managed to move herself to her now torn pants and called the doctor.

“Doctor Kade? We’ve got a problem….”
