  Dedication

  On the Training of Doctors is dedicated to everyone in the world that defies conventions. It is dedicated to those that take the chance to be themselves in a world that demands compliance to norms. We dedicate this book to everyone in the queer, BDSM Lifestyler/kinkster, geek/nerd, neurodivergent, pagan, autistic, writing, transgender communities, and any other community that dares to defy the “norms”. There is nothing that takes more courage than to stand up and be yourself when those around us demand that we conform.

  We refuse to conform. We refuse to comply. We are beautiful and unique. We are never going to go away, and we are going to change the world.

  Foreword

  Simon Bransby

  When I first saw this project on Kickstarter, I was curious.

  Who wouldn’t be interested in the tale of a young neurosurgeon getting involved in a gritty, sexy crime story!? As I followed it, and got to know one of the authors, it became something more.

  It became personal in a way I never expected. Not simply because of our communication, but because of who these characters are. I can’t tell you the last time I saw anyone like me in fiction, much less the erotic type, that wasn’t used as either a plot point or a cardboard victim for the others to save.

  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen anyone different or with mental/emotional issues being held up as an automatic villain or a literal excuse to abandon/kill them. Not only is this work a refreshing departure from that legacy of misery and laziness, it does something I’m profoundly happy to see in my lifetime...it presents a funny, sweet, and gripping story through their/our eyes. It treats these things in a compassionate, human way, and all of them flourish because of it.

  All of us know someone who is Bi-Polar, Bi-sexual, Asexual, Genderfluid, Trans, Gay, or Autistic, and that’s exactly who is here in this story. Not freaks, not pitiful broken souls in need of “fixing”. Here, as they do in real life, they fight, they fall in love, they break down, they hurt, they heal and start all over again.

  This is more than a tale of ropes and leather, this is about finding Family among those who were told it would never happen. It’s about what happens when labels are understood and accepted, not simply talked around and pushed into a corner when it’s not funny anymore.

  This is what I know many of us have been looking for, what we’ve desperately needed to see...ourselves, as regular people. And with that, I extend my hope that you will enjoy this story as much as I have. Even if you don’t see yourself, you WILL see Us, and that’s a precious thing.

  Preface

  From Beverly

  I suppose a preface means that as one of your authors, I should have something to say, right? I’ve given a bit of personal information in the author bio, but really, when you’re about to begin a journey this intense and that spans over three books, you probably want to hear a bit more than an author blurb.

  About four years ago, I was busy investigating BDSM and D/s culture for a little fanfiction story I was writing. That story, though very rough around the edges, caught the attention of my co-author, Kenyon. She ended up messaging me to tell me that she thought I’d actually approached the subject well, but as a person involved in the Lifestyle I was writing about, she had some tips for me. Well, readers, that was the beginning of this story, because as we became friends despite the distance between Missouri and California. Then, the idea became, you know, this would make an amazing original story.

  Here we are, four years later, one successful Kickstarter, and one book done. What started out as a gritty, violent thriller with an erotic edge became so much more to us. This story has gone from being one book, to the first book of a trilogy, to the current form of a trilogy unto itself.

  Here, you will find characters that are bits and pieces of your authors. For me, my four main characters all reflect parts of myself. Kieran is my autistic nature, my scholarly leanings, and my submissive nature. Devan is my bigender and pansexual self, as an idealized version. Devan also has my pagan roots, and all my insecurities. Carmine represents my problems with impulse control and bipolar disorder and all my body image issues. Varick reveals my Dominant and protective nature, as well as my demi-sexual traits.

  These characters may seem unnecessarily diverse at first glance, but in the real world, people are far more diverse than portrayed in media. This book and all thos
e that follow are meant to represent that. Kenyon’s characters also contain bits and pieces of her, as I’m sure you’ll see.

  So on to the technical bit about the story you’re about to embark upon. This book features a lot of things from the world of BDSM (Bondage and Domination, Domination and Submission, Sadism and Masochism). This is considered a Lifestyle by those in it, but there are plenty people that simply engage in kinky behavior.

  Situations presented may mimic real life situations of one or both the authors, and may be based on experiences of others interviewed and worked with by the authors. The world of BDSM is a wide and varied one. There is no one right method, and we hope that in this work we can introduce the reader to the various possibilities. At the end of the novel, you will find a few pages with author recommended reading and a handful of links to some helpful places online.

  Many background characters are based on real life individuals. These people have granted permission to the authors to use a character in their likeness. Names and features have been altered for the purpose of anonymity of those involved. The dungeon mentioned is created as an idealized dungeon based on experience of the writers, and features many things that may or may not found in real life dungeons. Many aspects of the dungeon are realistic, and may be found across the world. Please note, a dungeon exactly like Strawberry’s Black does not exist. Dungeons have a variety of rules. Some places do not allow nudity, others do not allow penetration of any kind (even with toys), and others have even stricter restrictions on activities. Private dungeons are a different matter, and should be approached with caution if you are not familiar with the owner.

  If you are interested in the BDSM community, contact a local group or use social media to visit verified safe BDSM sites. Do not engage in activities that seem to you to be unsafe. BDSM should never feel like abuse, and it is always completely consensual. Kink culture is varied and expansive, and there are many more things out there than detailed in the one novel you’ve picked up. There are many people in the world that would take advantage of new members of the BDSM community, or those looking to become involved in the BDSM community. More than one submissive has found themselves the victim of abuse because they did not understand the way this community works. The same can be said for fledgling Dominants who are brought in with a manipulative “submissive” who is using them for their own gratification. We use words like slave, pet, and humiliation. We engage in things like ownership contracts, consensual non-consent role play, age play, and other relationship types. This is a very real game we engage in. It is always, always, with the permission and consent of all parties.

  You, in the end, are responsible for your own safety and security.

  Love,

  Beverly

  Introduction

  Beginning the Journey

  Welcome, dear readers, to the first part in the Doctor’s Training Trilogy, which is also the first trilogy in the Chains of Fate Series. This novel is a work of fiction based in and around St. Louis, Missouri. Many of the places are real, but many are not. Please see the Chains of Fate notes at the end of this novel for brief descriptions of the fictional places that are used in our works.

  The characters you are about to meet are unique and varied, and we hope that you will enjoy joining them in their lives. Doctor’s Training is a prequel to the future Dawnstar Trilogy, and is an introduction to the main characters that form the basis for the Chains of Fate universe. This book is not considered pure erotica, though there are erotic scenes presented.

  The situations presented are quite possible, and are something often seen in this lifestyle. We, as the authors, want to make sure that you, as the reader, understands that this is a fictional work about learning alongside our dear doctor and about the various methods of entrance into this world.

  This book and other Chains of Fate books attempt to show the good, bad, and sometimes unusual sides of the BDSM community. This novel is an attempt to bring you on the doctor’s journey and recovery through submission. We hope you join him as he moves through rape recovery and learning to deal with his mental health concerns. The storms that Dr. Sung’s navigates are very real events for many people. In the end, he finds comfort and love in bondage, the way so many in our community have.

  Before you journey with Kieran, we need to remind you that the following story is a work of fiction, and like any work of fiction, requires some degree of suspension of disbelief. We have strived to make the work both realistic and entertaining. In the real world, there are very real implications of the activities presented in these pages. Characters make choices, and those choices will eventually have consequences later on. Please keep in mind, engaging in casual sexual relations, casual D/s play, and having multiple partners requires a degree of caution and self-protection. Throughout the stories, there will be chances to see consequences of various poor choices made by individuals. Since this book has a high degree of sexual relations, we advise readers to keep safe sex in mind. The characters in this story have histories with each other and understand the risks of engaging in sexual activities with or without condom use. Some agreements take place off screen, before the reader meets the characters, so please keep that in mind. There are also some possible effects related to some of the activities the characters engage in, which they may seem to avoid. Again, this is fiction after all.

  Please be aware, this work features graphic and detailed scenes of violence and graphic sexual acts, both consensual and non-consensual. This work also features heterosexual and homosexual relationships, and characters that are at various points on the sexuality spectrum. You will also see many different genders and depictions of various polyamorous situations. There are many intersections with the kink community and other lifestyles that many consider alternative. Several individuals are neurodiverse, including characters with bipolar disorder, autism, and PTSD. Because of the diversity of the individuals presented, there will also be depictions of ableism, ageism, racism, homophobia, transphobia/antagonism, kink/lifestyle shaming, and discrimination based on religion and/or polyamory.

  There is a scene in which a character engages in oral sex with another without more than verbally being told his new partner is “clean”. We do not recommend this, but the character has his reasons for being willing to engage in risky activities like this. Characters say and do things that they should not and have to deal with consequences of. These individuals are human, and they go through and learn throughout the stories we write. None of them will be perfect.

  Remember, the actions of characters, even protagonists, are not supposed to represent right or correct actions. These actions also do not reflect the moral standpoints of the authors. In the end, these books are about imperfect humans trying to make their way in the world. They will make mistakes, and they will hurt others and be hurt by others.

  Thanks, again, for giving this novel a read. It is our hearts and souls on these pages.

  Love,

  Beverly and Kenyon

  Chapter One

  The Doctor and the Hospital

  Dr. Kieran Sung sat at his desk with a look of frustration across his dark brows. He was in the middle of a confrontation with a frustrated and distraught parent to his new patient. She was causing the comfortable location of his office to become decidedly uncomfortable. He adjusted in the large chair behind his desk, flinching as it made an awful squeaking noise. His nose wrinkled as it made a puff of air from the cushions exuded the smell of leather. The chair was well over three years old, yet it still had that new leather smell. He tolerated it, even enjoyed the scent in small doses, but the creaking sound the stiff material made was why he rarely sat in this chair. It also had the unfortunate effect of making him look even smaller than he already was, and he seriously considered asking to have the thing replaced with a smaller one made of cloth. A second person could easily sit beside him due to his thin, small stature.

  The atmosphere of his office had become heavy with his anxiety as she continued t
o complain. He glanced over toward the two large windows in the corner of the room which looked out onto the busy streets around him. The city of St. Louis was known for having much of the medical community based on North and South New Ballas Road, and McKellar Hospital was one of the many hospitals and medical facilities along the northernmost portion. His office sat at the back north east corner of the medium sized private hospital. From here, he could see the main road on the far-left side already busy with lunchtime traffic. Directly outside, he could see the pharmacy across Magna Carta Drive, and the other buildings sitting behind them to the right. If he opened the draperies, of course. Right now, as always, they were closed. He kept the dark brown curtains pulled tight against the sunlight because it caused such a glare. It was not terrible today, as it had turned cloudy after the rain they had the day before. Somehow, it made him feel dreary with the current situation.

  He pulled his attention from the dull afternoon light filtering through the heavy drapes and returned it to the woman sitting across from him. His deep blue eyes tried to focus on her, but he was having much more difficulty with his attention than usual today.

  “I requested a doctor to do the surgery on my daughter, not a student. Why am I sitting across from a child?”

  This woman, with her hard, hazel eyes, and her ash blonde hair tied up in a tight bun on top of her head, was being completely obtuse about the fact Kieran was trying to save her daughter’s life. He noted the wrinkles spreading out around her eyes, colloquially called “crows’ feet,” and thought perhaps this woman stressed a lot over things she should not. He dragged his short fingers across the dark surface of the desk and wondered why she could not seem to understand his young age was not a concern. He understood the woman’s problem with him. He knew his age had initiated this particular confrontation. At twenty-five, Kieran was well aware of the perception others often had. Kieran had never let these situations bother him for too long; once he got past the initial anxiety attack caused by confrontation, he was able to cope with it. At least, he used to be able to cope with them easily.
