From The Diary of Jun

Story by Reddaeht

So I just realized yesterday that the story I commissioned from Kaizer-Ryu a few years ago was posted here. That being the case, I guess I should post the follow-up series I wrote. I finished this series up a while ago, so I figure I'll post 2 or three of the chapters here per day until it's all up.

First, start Here

Caught up? Good. Now

So. First page of a new diary. I guess if I'm going to be writing in you like I'm talking to you from here on out, I should probably start by talking about who I am. And I guess who I am is pretty deeply rooted in who my family is.

Hi, my name is Jun. Only child. Mouse. Hermaphrodite. And genetic deviation. A DV, as my Nana Janie calls us. Or an anti-hyper as Ama Luna sometimes says. There's not really a scientific term for us. I'm not even sure if 'science' in general knows we exist. What I'm trying to say is that I, my dad, and my Nana Janie are really not normal.

My Nana Janie met my Ama Luna when shi was fourteen, a little younger than I am now. Luna was about 20 at the time. Apparently Janie's friends had gotten the bright idea to sneak into exactly the wrong kind of night club with a set of fake IDs. Janie says the guy watching the door never even asked and barely even looked when they volunteered them. This whole thing would have been a massive mistake if shi had been normal which, as far as shi knew at the time, shi was. Luna was, and this is how shi told the story, "on the prowl for someone to ride hard and put away wet... and carrying a whole warren of hir leverets." So when shi spotted the underage little squirrel girl hiding in the back of hir ever shrinking group of friends, love was the furthest thing from hir mind. Janie, on the other hand, was head over heels at the first look. Shi didn't even hear the come-ons that Luna was throwing hir way. Shi was putty, and shi wasn't even affected by Ama Luna's hyperism.

The bedroom was a different story. Ama says Nana was like a whirlwind and the night went by in one blissful blur. It wasn't hir first time, but she'd always been really passive about sex. Shi usually received and when shi gave shi still wasn't generally on top. But something about Luna drove hir crazy. And something about Janie made Ama Luna want to cede the driver's seat.

Long story short, by the time they'd left the club Janie and all of hir friends were guaranteed to have a litter of children in nine months or less, but Janie was the only one not carrying hirs.

Normally they'd have never seen each other again, but Nana was in love while Ama had had the best night of her life. But it wasn't just the lust, Luna found that she'd developed a bit of a crush on the squirrel that had so completely dominated. They found each other again before too long and that crush grew. They were married before the first batch popped out, my dad being their very first born child. And then Ama was pregnant again. Immediately. Without any sex whatsoever. Shi hasn't not been carrying one of Nana's litters since. I have a lot of aunts. Dad's still their only boy.

Given his... development, Ama thought he was going to turn out a hyper like hir, so shi made sure to teach him everything he'd need to know. But it turned out shi was wrong. He'd taken after Nana like I'd eventually take after him. And that changed everything.

See, before my dad was born, Nana and Ama thought Nana's differences were jist a hir thing, but once shi saw that hir son had inherited hir quirks, shi started to think it may have been something bigger. And if it was, shi needed to look for more people like them.

One thing you could always say about Nana was that shi knew hir way around books, and shi put those skills to good use. Shi started to do research, reading old news papers and scientific journals from around the world. Collecting a bunch of seemingly isolated cases and errant data. Inexplicable impotency, continuous reasonable pregnancies, infants of one species born to parents neither of whom were that species. Until one day shi had a full picture.

Once shi had that, it was just a matter of putting in the leg work. Following leads, making calls, catching flights, going to and fro to develop connections. It wasn't easy work, especially considering shi did a good chunk of it heavily impregnated. Not to mention that a lot of the people shi went looking for were like shi was. Quiet, withdrawn, even secretive. But shi persisted. Shi was determined.

After all that effort shi started building a network of people like hir and hir son. And those in person connections a
