#thefusioncelestial

Ah, fame & fortune. Being a celebrity seems to be the high life.

If you are the celebrity in question.

There are some face types that repeat regardless of relatedness. For these people, being an celebrity look alike beyond Elvis is not something they intended do, but it happens. A quirk of genetic expression.

For Ford:

People often mistake him for Jean-Luc Bilodeau.

Apparently, the town is big fans of Kyle X/Y & Baby Daddy.

He often called Jean, and has had more run ins with people wanting to get his autograph on that basis. It was cool at first, but eventually it got grating when people started asking for money.

He has his looks, not his money.

Then we have Dante:

People think that he is Haley Joel Osment.

With the false attribution of identity with his hot body, he has gotten many requests to be someone's surrogate father; from middle aged couples on the last chance to have kids, to some young in their 20's lady wanting to sleep with a celebrity.

Dante & Ford are best friends.

"Man this celebrity look alike mess is getting on my nerves."

"Yesterday, a camera crew came to my house looking for compromising photos."

Ford lifted his eyebrows.

"You would think they would do their due diligence & understand the mistaken identity situation."

"Why aren't the real celebrities speaking up?"

"Because it takes pressure off their own backs, and gives them a greater sense of privacy."

Both men: "..... Celebrities suck."

"So what are we going to do? This is only going to get worse."

"Already figured it out Ford, we merge."

"...We what?"

"Let's merge body, minds, and souls. Surely there isn't a celebrity who looks like a fusion of those two."

"Other option?"

"We leave town & our families."

"Fine. I guess we can consider this as marrying each other."

"Only deeper."

"Only deeper."

They met in Dante's home in his attic gym. With the window ceilings, it was less of an attic, and more of a secret open air man cave. Ford had been here many times. Why pay for an gym membership when he has access to this?

They have a key to each other's house.

They are practically a married couple already despite having girlfriends.

"So how do we do this. Some fancy dance, some odd jewelry, some strange substance..."

"Get in this bag."

It was a lilac purple silk body bag. It was more like an cocoon.

Dante knew how Ford thought & got in himself first. He beckoned Ford in.

"... This better work, because if this is an elaborate plan to sleep with me..."

Dante chuckled.

"This is going to be fun, being merged with you."

Ford eventually relented and got in, now resting on top of Dante. They were both blushing.

"So...."

The zipper on the silk bag zipped itself up sealing themselves within.

Heat began to rise & they both were sweating bullets.

Suddenly they both broke down into a slurry of blood, flesh, and other physical matter. From their perspective, there was no pain. They felt floatish instead. Then the memories of each men flash in each other's mind. They were converging as one mentally.

The zipper on the bag disappeared, the silk material became more fleshy. It began to move & squirm about. After a minute, their DNA were merged into a new traditional double helix structure. The material within began to glow.

The cocoon began to stretch & change shape, with each passing minute it became more & more more human shaped. When the skull & brain formed, he began to moan.

After five minutes he was fully formed within. Steam issued from the silk-flesh cocoon.

He ripped out of the cocoon & roared. He was wet at first, but quickly dried in the air. He was breathing heavily.

"Phew, that felt weird. I mean a good kind of weird but still weird."

He took a few minutes to collect himself.

"I am Ford, but I am also Dante. Mmm, parading around as either or would be strange even though they are me, and me them. How about Wyatt."

Dante + Ford = Wyatt.

He took out his phone & snapped a photo of himself:

He was as tall as Dante. His shoulders were more pronounced, his pecs slightly bigger. His biceps the same size as Dante's but with more vascularity, and that somehow meant thicker hands. His eight pack & obliques were more prominent, more rounder. His buttocks were the same size as Dante's. His rod & jewels were ripped straight from Ford in size; length, girth, and circumference. Luckily, Ford was very well endowed. He just wore baggy pants & shorts to hide it. Using Ford's legs as a base, he had much bigger thighs, and denser quads. His feet were thicker as well.

He was at least 20 pounds heavier than Dante.

Using Dante as the base, his skull shape was a mix of the two. His eyebrows were from Ford, his eyes from Dante. His nose & ears were from Dante, while his mouth was from Ford.

Just like Dante, he sported facial hair, only much bushier. He kept Dante's dark blond hair & volume, but with Ford's texture & styling.

He posted the photo to social media.

"Let's see how people react."

The next day & he checked out people's responses:

"Oh look, its Ryan Gosling!" One comment said.

Oh, oh. In trying to get away from looking like one celebrity, they merged into the look alike of another celebrity.

In a small forested town in a place you never heard of lies a people who live in harmony with the land. They treat the land well, and it gives them bounty in return. Achieving this harmony & balance is not a simple thing.

Yes, they have a mayor & town administration, but they have an extra position.

The Forest Guardian.

They are the liaison between our world & mother nature.

The last guardian is on their last legs as their two hundred & fifty life span is nearly spent.

But the town is prepared.

The dying guardian is but one in a long line of many who have come before. It is simply time to choose another guardian.

The town has a interesting cycle with the outside world as well.

Denizens grow up & leave the town to go see the outside world, and when they are ready; they come back with the wisdom & knowledge their life journey has brought them. They either settle down or bring their families back with them as well, repopulating the area.

After an exhaustive search, they have found their guardian, or at least the step before the new guardian himself comes forth to serve a new two century & a half interval on behalf of the community.

The chosen - Eiden & Robert:

Despite their youthful looks, they are not in their 20's, but their 30's.

They spent more than a decade in the outside world, and have answered the call to become the guardian.

"Eiden."

"Robert."

They both nodded their heads in respect & recognition of each other.

"This has to be the lowest number of volunteers in generations. I was expecting at least five."

"It happens, just means we get more say in the state of affairs going forward."

"And live longer too. Are you okay spending centuries bundled up with me as you know...."

Robert smiled. Seeing the big bear of a man reassure him in this decision was of no small comfort. This was a big step after all.

The process of creating the guardian was simple, but it had big implications for those involved.

To put it simply, they must merge.

They would be broken down & melded into an entirely different person.

They would lose their individuality. No one but the guardians knew if the merger included the souls, if they would walk together as one in the here after when their era was done. And so, those who volunteer to become a guardian are afforded the utmost respect.

"Guardian Kyle has less than a day left, the forest needs us, our people needs us, so lets get this started."

With their shirts already off, Robert lifted Eiden on to himself:

Eiden giggled a little bit.

"You are a wall of muscle, man," Eiden said cheerfully.

"You'll be too in a moment."

Eiden's body began to slide down Robert's but it was not smooth sailing, as Eiden skin rubbed against Robert's, the skin in contact began to pull on each other like two pieces of chewed gum being mushed and then pulled.

As this happened Eiden began to sink into Robert.

"Dawwww, this feels great," Eiden said between his moaning.

Robert grunted, his eyes shuttering at random intervals.

"This is almost too much, too unreal, mmm" Robert said.

Both were in the throws of pleasure. Eiden's & Robert's muscle fibers unwrapped themselves and connected with each other, becoming more intertwined as seconds passed by.

Eiden had stopped sliding down, being now elevated as he sunk into Robert. They had lined up at the nether regions & their pants were gone.

"Mmph, mmph."

Soon, all of Eiden's front skin had merged with Robert creating a fleshy cocoon with legs as Robert's skin pulled in Elden more & more. Before long, Eiden was completely consumed within Robert, making him look like a faceless bloated man.

Within the cocoon, it was a cacophony of activity. Within it, both men's internal muscles, organs, and bones had completely broken down. At first this combined slurry of Eiden & Robert just swam around in random currents with no end sight.

On a genetic level, the best parts of the men were taken & put together to create a new traditional double helix structure. At the same time, their brains were mushed and then reformed into a singular brain.

"UHHHH."

The cocoon began to seize up, the matter within began to take on predictable paths.

Masses of white, grey, and red were coalescing & taking shape. They would be the skeleton & blood vessels of the new guardian.

The cocoon began to constrict forming shapes using the skeleton as an guide.

"Ynnnnn."

The first body parts to form were the legs & arms.

Next came the hands & the feet. At this point the forming guardian began to walk outside & into the forest.

As he walked through nature, he was bathed in its glow, absorbing energy, enhancing himself to beyond human limits.

"Haaaaah."

The upper middle of the cocoon restricted further forming pecs & followed by shoulders. Then the stomach area began to follow suit forming obliques & abs.

"Mmmmm."

More constrictions, resulting in the formation of a new set of buttocks, rod, and sack.

The guardian stopped walking and just stood there.

All that was left was the face.

It was an pulsating random shape that grew & shrank, grew & shrank with each breath, but was getting smaller overall. Soon you could see a uniform skull shape form with proper facial features. The neck soon followed.

Without opening his eyes, the guardian found an unused tent, slipped in and fell asleep. Over the course of the day, the old guardian died, his spirit passing on, and then as if he was mentally linked to his new successor, all of his knowledge passed into him as Eiden's & Robert's minds were melded into one to form the new persona.

Day gave into night, night gave into day. It was mid morning and the new guardian woke up. He then got out of the tent:

"Weird, I was naked when I last remember. Perks of the job I guess."

With the knowledge of past guardians at his finger tips, he was ready to do his duties, but first he wanted to figure out what he looked like first.

Nearby was a series of broken tree branches & trunks suspended over a pool of water. He climbed on to them & looked down:

He was as tall as Robert. His legs & arms were just as massive as well, but Eiden caused the skin to tighten giving him more definition.

His pecs were a compromise between the two, and he had Eiden's abdominal shapes, but upscale to Robert's size. Eiden also gave him a smaller waist.

Robert could be quite hairy when unshaved, so he had body hair nearly all over.

Thanks to Robert, his butt was big, but thanks to Eiden, they were firm & round.

He would come to learn that he had Eiden's girth, and Robert's length. His jewels would sag low from their weight.

He squeezed his hands & feet. They had Robert's power & size with Eiden's precision.

A thick neck that held a square skull that he got from Eiden. His eye brows & nose came from Robert. His ears & mouth from Eiden. His eyes a combination of the two men. His hair was Robert's color, but with Eiden's texture & natural styling.

The new guardian looked up into the sky & yelled his name.

Austin.

A wind rushed through the forest in acceptance of his new identity.

A funeral was held for the old guardian, and then a new festival was held to welcome the new one.

As some of you may have heard, one of the big AI creation websites & tools, Sora, is shutting its doors.

Hello, it's been awhile since I addressed the community.

Just wanted to give a heads up on how you submit your requests.

I have noticed an uptick in people posting their requests as comments under the stories.

The best & quickest way to get your request seen & added to the que is to submit it as an question under "ask me anything" or as an message with the + button. Submitting an chat room message is fine as well.

When you make an comment, it gets muddled with likes & reblogs under activity delaying the chance of me seeing it & adding it into the pipeline in an timely manner.

Questions & Messages have their own notification area that I can focus on knowing that I am about to receive story prompt proposals.

We all need down time. A different place to pretend that everything is right with the world.

We call it vacation.

But for Killian & Hugh:

It was a way of life. They have been blessed to grow up on the coast in an tropical climate. What is a special occasion for some is every weekend for them.

Best friends & sophomores in college, they are living the life.

The reality has come to roost. The general education classes are done, and when summer ends, they will be studying in separate classes. One chose Computer Science, the other Sports Medicine.

They fear the drift.

Living in a coastal city means that they are exposed to the many vagrancies of the ocean. The tides, water spouts, powerful storms, and many others.

But there is one strange phenomenon unique to their locale.

Charybdis's Blender:

It was a whirlpool that never ceased no matter what was going on. And all those who tried to enter it whether directly or through instruments discovered another property.

Divers had jumped in, coming out with half fish bodies like mermaids. Underwater cameras reconfigured in a way that had their internal components melded into new objects achieving both functions.

An experiment was done where they dropped a bag with an apple & orange in. But what came out was a singular fruit that was a cross between the two.

And thus it has become a local past time to drop objects in to see what comes out. There are even rumors of fraternities & secret societies forcing their pledges to merge in order to be accepted in.

Unconfirmed of course.

Both young men were now looking over at the whirlpool. They had made the decision, they would not drift: they would merge & live life together as one being.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Oh don't try to back down now. It's either this or we risk growing apart."

"I mean whirlpools are extremely dangerous. At worst we are going to drown."

"And at best we are going to walk the earth as together as one person. Plus we have seen the whirlpool in action."

Hugh was right, they had been researching the whirlpool extensively that included direct testing. Last week the merged a pen & pencil. Two days ago they tried two dissimilar objects: a Honeydew Melon & a celebrity magazine. They ended up with an magazine full pictures of human shaped melons, and the magazine in question was edible.

Honeydew flavor of course.

Both men were sitting on the railing of the bridge next the whirlpool. They only had to push off.

"At the same time, I don't want to end up half human half starfish."

"Half shark sounds awesome to be honest."

Killian squinted his eyes at Hugh. He was about to merge with this idiot. But Hugh was his idiot.

At the count of three, both men launched off the railing into the water. The act combined with the sound of the splash alerted the surrounding crowd to what was going on. Many people had gotten to the point of sitting on the railing, but most chicken out.

Fortune favors the bold.

Both men swam to the surface of the water, now only their heads were poking out of the ocean.

After taking a deep breath to renew the air in their lungs, and a head shake to knock off water from their faces, they stared at each other. But before they could speak, they felt a strong pull wrap around their bodies.

They were headed for the whirlpool.

They were too much in the grip of fear & excitement to say anything or try to fight the current. This is what they wanted after all.

Thirty seconds later, they were at the edge of the whirlpool. A second later, the force pulling them changed directions. From a straight line to a circular motion like a dog chasing its tail.

Faster & faster they went around & within the whirlpool. No matter how fast, they could not catch up to each other as they were always on opposite ends.

But as they circled the whirlpool's center, they grew closer to it, and by extension: each other.

After two minutes of this, both men collided in the center & then fell down the opening into the ocean.

In the grip of fear, both men instinctively grabbed & hugged each other. They were sinking & spinning.

Faster & faster.

Then it happened. What was once two figures of different skin complexions spinning around each other like a spinning top began to coalesce into one figure, one shape.

Skin color swirled until it became one like making chocolate milk. Arms & legs smoothly connected & merged into a pair of new ones.

Faster & faster.

Chests & stomachs gave in, suddenly merging like one sees two bubbles suddenly merge into a bigger one to form a singular one.

Faster & faster.

Nether regions, necks, & skulls were next. They simply phased into each other & settled into their new shapes.

The two men, now one, slowed his spinning. He found the strength to swim out of the whirlpool and got out. As if understanding the uproar that would ensue if people knew that his two halves had been successful in creating him, he swam in an straight line underwater.

After thirty minutes, he went to a secluded coast line with much calmer waters.

He opened his eyes & got out:

He took a deep breath. The first breath of life to those born to this world.

But he was not a baby. He was a new man.

As he took stock of his body, he felt his mind solidify as the two men's minds were broken down & made to reform into one persona.

His persona.

He turned around & looked at his reflection in the water.

He was at least 6'2. His skin color was a halfway point between the two. Both men were fit, but together they merged into someone who looked they were a body builder.

Massive arms, & legs. Strong digits. Shoulders & a neck so thick & big that they looked like they were ready to pop. A wide chest with big manly pecs, a wide waist with big blocky abs. A nice round set of buttocks with a nice package in the front.

All crossed with visible veins.

He had a mixture of the two men's skull shape. His hair texture was Killian's, but volume was Hugh's. Hair color was a darker version of Hugh's. He had Killian's eyebrows, Hugh's eyes. Killian's nose and Hugh's ears. Hugh's mouth.

Thanks to the increased testosterone levels, he had visible facial hair.

He noticed. He had a hat on. Must have washed up on his head while swimming.

He'll keep it.

"Isaac, my name is Isaac."

And that was the end of the ordeal.

Killian & Hugh merged into Isaac, and now they would live life together as him. He took up both of their majors under the dual degree program & lived life to his fullest.
