Fragrance - Part 4 (Conclusion)
One heckuva ending that I never saw coming.
May Your Light Forever Shine

Nose Girl
Nose Girl saves the day! I've been a long time fan and this one justifies that. Fragrance was Kool! I'll shut up now as to not drop spoilers, but I very much enjoyed this!
Hugs!

I was breathless by the end of this. The concept and detail were amazing and my first reaction is that it was like a favourite artwork; one read through just doesn't do it justice.
Very well done.

It was so beautiful
even the scene where syd is shot , so well written. We have been blessed to have had the chance to read your wonderful work. Now I have to go finish crying at the beautiful ending.

Very nice.
The conclusion to a good story should be good and this one sure was that. I really enjoyed this one, Armond.
Take a deserved well done! and my own thanks for giving us this tale.

Sensual Delight
Thank you so much for this story. It contained so many elements that I've never seen in a story before.
I love that you dealt so much with the sense of smell. It's so often neglected. I have a very sensitive sense of smell so I really appreciate smelly stories. Heh.
The humor, love interest, sci-fi, danger and transgender elements of this story combined to create a sensual delight. I highly recommend this story!
Please keep writing.

Happy Ending
I love happy endings and this one was great. Not only does Syd survive, but she is the mastermind behind saving mankind with hot hamburger grease. Ya gotta love her.
Thanks for a funny, charming and interesting story.
As always,

Well done.
A vivid story that assaults all of the senses, not just smell.
Thanks for a very well written story.
Nice, nice wrap up, Armond
Avoiding spoilers will be hard but here goes.
The mole in the org was as I guessed but then I guessed alot so it's not that amazing. In the moles case the power of their convictions of their *faith* in their beliefs led them to *the ends justify the means no matter how vile*. Their and the other goons punishment was poetic yet with a promise of redemption of sorts or of least of being let go unharmed more or less. It was good it was so as Syd would never have agreed to it had the creeps been permanently harmed. Mind you she was happy to see them punished.
I was right in another thought, someone was masking their scent deliberately.
The bit about the "7 point something percent risk of ... a zombie apocalypse" was pure wacko and funny YET covered a legit concern in sci-fi and real science about the unpredictability of viruses in the world.
The budding romance between the new St ... and A... okay can't touch that without a spoiler but it was charming and sweet in a weird sci-fi way. I agree, Freud would want to be resurected to analyse that romance.
Could say lots more, like about *mom* and well lots of stuff but wow is best. And using fast food to ... brilliant! Um, will it work with onion rings?
And I agree with Syd, Nose Girl sucks as a supers name.
-- snicker --
So happy you are with us here at BC, Armond.

I SO agree with you John!
And I think Bloodhound is a better codename. Now, if only we could give Syd a were genetic makeup... :)

Thanks, John, and to be honest,
I included the reference to the possibility of virus mutation from one of your earlier comments.

Looking forward to more.
This was fun, not trauma filled, and fun, oops said that already. I really like the spankings. I hope to see more from you.
Much peace

Nice
I have to admit, I was hoping the ponies was a red herring and not Soylent Green...oh well :D
Excellent story Armond, now will the Lilin ending match this one...THAT is the question :)
{{Hugs}}
Lovely ending
Story leaves quite a number of loose ends though.
Who is behind the attempt on Julia?
Also, frankly it would not have hurt to let the Y problem persist for a little while longer to lower the population of the world. My hobby horse ( and no not a Shetland pony :) )
Is there a potential for immortality here? I mean, really, Ancina just became a ton younger.
Will Sydney ever get a proper superheroine name ? :)
What does she do after she gets her BS in bio?
Thanks again for the lovely story. BTW, recently I heard something about smound - smell and sound synergy of some kind, hmmm?
Finally, I wonder if they were tempted to do a Wizard of Oz on those Shetland Ponies? Now that would be a horse of a different color!

Great, great story!
Loved the ending.
This is a truly amazing story.
Thanks so much for posting.

Thanks everyone...
for your comments throughout all four chapters. Your thoughts and questions have been very helpful and motivating.
This story was a ton of fun to write, and hopefully, fun to read as well.
Until next time,

Roses smell beautiful!
Thank you for this wonderful story!
I just had to reread it when I checked your story list looking for more of Moon Harper :)

I'm really glad you like it, MD.
Fragrance was my first attempt at something other than magic. I had tons of fun with it, and was so proud of the fact that Sydney was saving the human race through fast food. Heh! Supersize it indeed!
I've just come straight from reading Moon Harper...
...and read Fragrance all in one aromatic batch.
My review? Freshly baked bread with a waft of vanilla. Delightful. :-)
I've been told it is a pungent read, Faye,
Thanks!
Great that some have found this gem
I liked it then.
I re-read it this week and loved it.
I particularly like how at least one of the villains mean to do good but is deluded by, in her case, religious prejudice. This allows her to justify rape and other worse things as GOOD. Others are simply pure money grabbing sleaze balls and a few are misogynists.
And the bit about Freud rising from the grave to analyze the relationship between former widow a now a man and the young female researcher was a hoot!

I had fun with that line.
Ya know, it was your invite to this site that got me posting here, John. I love posting here so much more, because of the reader interaction. Truly amazing and a blessing!
Awesome!
Hm I finished the reread of this story.
Still awesome. I wonder how the zombie apocalipse will look like... Maybe it'll turn all of humanity into hermaphrodites? Well working ones or it wouldn't be fun...
Btw. what happened to the traitor?
Thank you for writing this awesome story, it smells like a blossoming meadow ;)
Beyogi
And now for something completely different...
Thank you, Beyogi
I wanted to try something different with this one. I didn't want magic involved, and I didn't want the gender change to be forced. The story was tons of fun to write. I do need to get out of my comfort zone more often and try new approaches.
Many thanks again,

I loved the smell of this one Armond
Had to do a rescan to catch up again and the final chapter was awsome.
Very different and very good.
Biting a big mac will not be the same again!
Thanks for a great read.

Wonderful
I had a great time reading this one too! I'll very likely be perusing your other stories as well, and I have no doubts they'll also be awesome :)
Thanks again for this :)

wouldn't this kind of mess them up coming out of it?
lovely story, from beginning to end
thank you for sharing it.
This story
This is such a great story! You really are a great writer. I really enjoyed the subplot with Deirdre and Syd’s relationship with Julia. I’ve been reading a lot of your stories lately, and I really love the way you explore the intertwined natures of love and trust; you show the sweetness of a relationship where one person gives their trust completely to another and finds security and happiness. Thank you for sharing this, and I hope you come back to writing soon!
Better the second time around
Better the second time around. I have some memory of reading this a while back, although the details of the story went astray. Rereading it now confirms my initial opinion that this is a high quality story by a talented writer. Bravo!
Gave Fragrance a reread this weekend, Armond
Holds up well after all these years.
Hum, Nose Girl. Sounds like a 60s Batman guest villain.
Hope you are well.
