Summary of the whole story:

Aless Sotan is a mentally-challenged fox that works in a public limited company as a market researcher and is engaged to a vixen named Sandra Sorestant, who loves Aless for his smart, but delicate personality. He has an older brother named Jack, who is in a relationship with a prominent and brilliant co-worker of Aless, a Swedish husky named Matthew Vargsson, who hides a dark side: at work, he's kind, sympathetic, well-mannered and really formal... but, outside of work, he's the husky that goes around looking for boys to dominate, despite being engaged to Jack: he has a flair that can attract everyone and, eventually, he becomes cynical and very possessive, since he's always ready to blackmail someone if they refuse to have sex with him whenever he wants. This worsens after Matthew is promoted to Marketing Manager after one of his ideas, which led to an exploit of sales in the Scandinavian region and, as a result, a huge inflow of profits. This makes him even more arrogant to Jack and, once the inevitable break-up happens, the older fox gets the worst blackmail a brother could ever get... and the consequences will soon arrive.

Moosely plc: for many years, this company was unknown to most, even to the local people of Furryth, the city where the business was established in 1959 by a student called Albert Moosely, who wanted to create linen clothes from the huge fields of flaxes that surrounded the local community. For decades, however, this was a small family-run company that only sold locally, due to the fact that Albert was a reserved individual, who just wanted to silently contribute to his town's improvement and not sell his products all over the world. In fact, his city was suffering massive emigration due to the fact that it was located in a very isolated place that seemed to be kept out of the economic boom that was hitting the rest of the country: as a result, many people, especially the younger ones, had emigrated to find more job opportunities, otherwise they would have ended up in linen fields for the rest of their lives, which weren't as profitable as other opportunities in the country. From 35.000 people at the end of the war, the population was plummeting: by 1959, it had hit 22.000 and was still dropping. With Albert, however, who came from a rich family, this emigration was slowed down, thanks to the many workers needed to process the flax into linen. He invested his money and his wits into the business, making it an innovative, eco-friendly (for the time), but local business, who sold local products at a price the elite could easily afford. Therefore, it counted on the richer classes, whose ancestors had made a fortune with their fields. This, as a result, was an obstacle to Albert's plans, who wanted to guarantee equal rights to every animal that lived in the city. For this reason, he was forced to go against his ideas in order to keep his clients, until the 70s, where many young animals from the richer cities suddenly started moving to the town, so as to escape from the bustling cities and live closer to nature. This way, he found more support for his ideas and could easily put them in place without losing sales: he did that and the sales increased. Albert, however, didn't want to expand his business, as it was created just to thank his city for making him grow properly, and not to make profits by selling outside of his town. However, it all changed in the late 90s, where, in the wake of the No-Global movement and the birth of the idea of sustainable development, the company, now lead by Albert's daughter, Sarah, couldn't pass out the opportunity to help not only the community, but the world, as well, since globalization had forced the local community to get in touch with the rest of the world. This idea was greatly supported by Sarah, who was an activist that stood even more for equality: her dream was to create a business where everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, etc., would be treated equally and would be able to express their personality freely. With the business that seemed to be made for this new customer awareness, the sales increased rapidly and more people moved to the city just to work in the business, including many who were persecuted for their ideas.

This included 16-years-old (at the time) Matthew Vargsson, a brilliant student and handsome husky from Göteborg, who had moved to the country to study, or at least that was what he claimed. In reality, he'd run from his family because of his sexual orientation and acts: he was 100% gay and had been sure of it ever since he was 14. When he came out, he was ignored by his parents and friends, but, then, an accident happened which could've lead to possible charges that could have caused serious damage to Matthew's family. So, even if a report never came, he was kicked out of the house. At school, he was also bullied for his sexual orientation, being called ugly names like "cocksucker", "mouth-knotter", and other names I'd prefer to omit, and teased in the changing rooms.

So, he thought he would find a better situation in Furryth, but he was wrong: despite being one of the most progressive towns, he was still bullied in class the same way for his sexual orientation, but, this time, someone actually supported him: Aless Sotan, a local fox and the smartest of the class, mainly because he was also bullied for his psychological situation. In the first year together, whenever Matthew was bullied, Aless would stand up for him and use logical reasoning to contrast the bullies' ignorant and stereotypical reasons. The same would happen whenever Aless was bullied. As a result, they became close friends and supported each other during tough times, especially when Aless was under immense pressure. They even started a friendly competition to see who was better, since both students' marks were constantly exceptional. This alliance seemed to strengthen the two, who could now fight the bullies with words. As a matter of fact, during the second year together, the bullies were completely gone, since they were now afraid of the consequences they would have to face by bullying them: their brains put together could create brutal revenges.

As the years went on, Matthew became more and more imposing with his classmates, especially the males, both physically and psychologically, unlike with the females, with whom he wasn't as familiar and, as a result, didn't feel like dominating them. After all, Matthew was 6'3" and, despite his slender build, his muscles were clearly there: they were not bulging, but they were nicely defined. In addition, he seemed to have some sort of a hypnotic flair with his sky-blue eyes and black hair, which fit perfectly between the ears and eyes on his black and white fur, who would subdue everyone who tried to oppose him.

That was totally different to Aless, who would never even look his classmates in the face: after all, he'd been diagnosed with a psychological disorder for years now and he was certain that would never change. Despite that, he was great friends with a girl of his age, a smart vixen named Sandra Sorestant, who was the definition of "activist"; Matthew, on the other hand, preferred to go hunting for boys at the clubs on the nearby coastline (or in the mountains), getting them on his bed (and under his control), and then dropping them the following night. However, in the following years, he would have a quite stable relationship with Aless' brother, Jack, who was 3 years older than Matthew. As a matter of fact, this would go on for many years, even though Matthew continued to pick up studs at the clubs and have a one night stand with them.

In the meantime, Aless and Sandra became closer and closer, to the point of living together at his house with Jack, who would often spend the nights with Matthew. As the years went on, they (except for Jack, who started working immediately) all went to university, where they studied International Marketing in different years, and, eventually, the two most brilliant students, Aless and Matthew, were noticed by Moosely, who had the possibility to turn her business vision into reality by employing a mentally challenged fox and a gay husky, both of whom showed incredible talent: they were both proactive, very well-mannered and brilliant workers. This was later confirmed by the latter in particular, who proposed an idea that would then turn the business into a successful plc: investing in the Scandinavian market. After all, he had grown up there and knew really well the society over there: in particular, he knew fully well that the request for linen clothes was rising substantially in Sweden and the large faux fields in Furryth could easily meet the demand in Sweden. As a result, he proposed the idea to the CEO, who accepted, and asked Aless to do some market research, while he wrote a marketing plan based on Aless' findings and looked at the marketing mix.

"So, Matthew, I was thinking about setting up some sort of a shop in Jönköping, where..." Aless begun, without realizing the massive mispronunciation of the city's name.

That seemed to confuse Matthew. "Where?"

"Jönköping...?" Aless mispronounced it again. "You know, the town where Agnetha was born..."

"Ah, Jönköping!" exclaimed Matthew as he pronounced the city correctly. "We pronounce kö as sho." He clarified.

At least I made myself understood, Aless thought: both of them, like Sandra, loved ABBA so much. "Oh, I see... anyway..." he then continued explaining what he had found, motivating the choices of setting up just a shop and not a production site. "Even our main competitor, whose site seems to be outdated, imports faux from Belgium: we have to leave the production phase in Furryth and then export the products to the three big cities from..." Then, he remembered something. "Oh, there are no intercontinental flights to Jönköping from Furrica... But we can land in Stockholm and then distribute the products for Malmö and Göteborg from Jönköping, which certainly isn't as expensive as Stockholm, I presume. But Stockholm, and the Uppsala area, too, host about 80% of our target. Then I think we should invest in Stockholm. Would that be fine for the budget?"

Matthew thought about it for a moment, before answering with a "Yes, it would".

"Perfect. However, we need to show ourselves as hard-working, serious and eco-friendly, three characteristics that our country seems to lack in Sweden."

Matthew nodded. He felt they were about to have the same idea: "So, you mean that..." he indicated himself, smugly.

"Yes, Matthew. You will be the face of the company in Sweden: you will be featured in all of our ads on TV and social media, where you will speak Swedish, since, if the people there see a fellow Swede, they will forget that we produce here. In other words, you're like a stamp that guarantees the quality of our products, which are produced in an eco-friendly manner."

Matthew loved that idea: he was fully aware that, with his looks, he could easily attract thousands of potential customers in his home country, making the profits skyrocket, and, who knows, maybe find other studs to dominate. So, obviously, he agreed to the idea.

"Perfect. Now..." Aless then continued sharing his findings and his proposals, all of which met Matthew's approval.

Afterwards, Matthew proposed the plan to the manager, who accepted it.

A few months later, the first results of the operation showed up: they were absolutely exceptional, even higher than the most optimistic of forecasts. The sales in Sweden were blowing and the operation had already become profitable in 3 months, 9 months earlier than other expectations. Aless, knowing that he had contributed to the success of the operation, was extremely happy. As a result, he was extremely motivated and kept performing exceptionally at work, which, in turn, lead to an important raise in the salary and a promotion: the latter, however, was rejected by Aless, as he didn't have the personality to make important choices or lead a group. On the other hand, Matthew, who was given the same benefits, accepted them both, becoming the International Marketing Manager of Moosely plc. That gave an important boost to the confidence of the husky and, most importantly, put him in a very important position inside the company: considering that he was the mastermind behind the operation, he was in direct contact with the management and many speculated that he could be elected in the board of the management itself. As a result, he soon became an important figure inside the company and to many, including Aless, he became their superior. Yet, despite his promotion, he kept a fruitful and proactive relationship with Aless, treating him as an equal and allowing him to still call him "Matthew" (not "Mr. Vargsson"), unlike with the others co-workers, who didn't receive the same treatment. Aless didn't care at all, since he thought he was reserved a better treatment because of his fundamental contribution to the plan, which was way more important than the others' combined. He cared more about Sandra's well-being, since, in that period, she was extremely worried due to the disappearance of a person she knew in Ecamelt.

"First, that researcher. Then, that student. Now, my friend! They all expressed their ideas, which were considered wrong by one of the most repressive dictatorships of the planet!" She would often complain. "Just expressing your opinions, as long as they are respectful of others, mustn't be a crime!"

"Sandra..." Aless would think about the words to try to make her feel better, but couldn't find them. So, he would just gently place a paw on her shoulder and listen to her, just like she would do whenever he wanted to let off the pressure.

"Why can't the fucking government bring the ambassador back again!? Hypocritical fucks! We're so tired of hearing that the truth will come out magically, put some fucking pressure against that dictatorship and... and...!" She would almost cry by saying that words over and over again. "I'll keep protesting until the government understands that THE TRUTH IS WORTH MORE THAN FUCKING OIL!"

"You're right, Sandra. Show them your anger." Aless would support her. He would then hug her and feel her tears flowing on him, just like it would happen with the roles switched. That's why they loved each other: they were supportive of the other.

Yet, in that period, there was someone who was even sadder and unsatisfied: Jack. He felt like he was lonely, with Aless always either working or supporting Sandra and, most importantly, Matthew always being far away from him. As far as he knew, Matthew was always travelling somewhere, either for work (like in Sweden) or for pleasure (like to the sea resort St. Grado or the mountain resort Foxine): while his partner would always send him pictures of wherever he was (and of himself), he felt like the physical presence of Matthew was missing. That was what he loved about him: his imposing presence, which released some sort of hypnotic flair; his eyes, which weren't as nice from the pictures as in real life, where they were brighter than a clear day; his height, especially when he was standing over him, like a God looking down at the plebs; and so on. He could fully express his personality and freely move with Matthew, without having to hide his body or his poses. The same couldn't be said for Aless, since his brother, despite being supportive, never really knew how to help him, due to the fact their personalities and worlds were incredibly different: Jack was an easy-going person, who preferred having fun, meeting new people in real life and being active on social media than staying at home and reading the daily newspaper (he was more of a "typical" fox, minus the intelligence that he seemed to lack a bit); Aless, on the other hand, was always thinking about the world around him, was always either alone or with Sandra or he was doing some activities that someone would define as "weird" (like looking at foreign license plates or determining where a car was from based on the retailer on the plate). As a result, you could define him as an "atypical" fox, minus the intelligence. They certainly were in good terms, but they weren't able to discuss anything without showing different ideas: their worlds were miles apart, even their ideas of love. And that was why Jack loved Matthew: it certainly wasn't for his wits, but, rather, for his incredible body, face and dominant personality. But he was gone and, now, he was forced to go back and hide his feminine nature to the others, since there was no one who would understand him any more.

Soon after, though, he would regret missing Matthew and the time he was travelling...
