I hope if there is a sequel that we escape from the dream and they act on their desires in real life.  I would love for Vanessa to love her father and not her mother.

Chapter 3 was a lot of fun, getting to see Linda and Ferb's separate normal fantasies as they were slowly "corrupted" and the two came to meet. It was interesting that Ferb was able to realize it was a dream so easily early on, and more so that he figured out that somehow the real Linda's personalities and experiences were mixed in. Then Linda eventually coming to the same conclusion once their dreams merged was actually rather sweet, giving her a chance for some intimacy with her adopted son even if quite a bit different than nursing Candace and Phineas. ;) I almost laughed out loud when the size of his desire translated to the size of his cock, and lucky that Linda was so understanding of that – and of dream physics making it possible to deal with it. Nice job of using his expressions to carry most of his communication, and it was very sweet when he answered in words when it was most-important for Linda to hear.

(The only big problem with the chapter is that _smaller_ black holes radiate away more quickly than large ones. It does feel counterintuitive to me, too, but perhaps the Hawking radiation from larger black holes is more likely to soon fall into the event horizon, or that both particles of the virtual pair are more likely to fall in together.)

Chapter 4 was just downright awesome: Candace and Phineas realizing it was a dream too and then deciding the only way to make it over was to *really* go for it and dig for the deepest, darkest fantasy. Phineas' desires were actually rather tame, and Candace's dream logic about being able to make it feel good even if it doesn't was hilarious but also genius. After that it was terrific hardcore fun for both, and now I can hardly wait to see what Candace will say now that it's her turn to admit to her perfect incest scenario.

For both chapters I loved the perfectly-timed cutaways to Stacy & Ginger and Suzy & Jeremy (especially!), respectively. Also, now that all of the Flynn-Fletchers in the merged dreams realize that they're actually sharing the experiences it was cute how the women made sure to swear the boys to secrecy before really letting loose. The only question is this: Where has Lawrence's dream-merge led him to? (Hopefully not someplace with bats or badgers or other dangerous creatures that begin with B.)

Thanks for all the fun. :)

Well, you certainly updated much faster than I had expected you to, but I'm glad to see the update. In response to your review reply, I am impressed by the thought you put into this concept and the different way it plays out between Phineas and Candace on the one hand, and Ferb and Linda on the other, what with the latter two being more mature and in comparison to Candace specifically also more laid back about the whole thing.

In my own story, I tried to handle the Jeremy issue by taking the scenario which canonically is most likely to cause a rift between Candace and Jeremy - Jeremy being one year older than Candace and thus heading to college earlier leaving Candace worried what he'll get up to there, as evidenced from Across the Second Dimension - and then pretty much amplify every flaw in their relationship until Jeremy breaks (Candace's obsession over the fact that he's not with her, her jealousy of other girls, putting her obsession with busting her brothers before hanging out with him) and acknowledges that their long-term relationship isn't going to work. I want to send you a link but I'm not sure if this site is as strict with censoring out links as its sister site is - anyway, it's on the non-adult counterpart to this website, followed by the code /s/11719508/1/. I hope that works.

With regards to your actual update, I'm surprised that Phineas actually does have dreams like this, even if he knowledges there aren't a lot. And I like the fact that he instantly manages to come up with the theory that they're meant to do more and live out their fantasies in order for the dream to finish.

Although rewatching the Skiddley Whiffers episode I didn't notice anything peculiar in that scene, I can certainly buy Phineas having an odd fascination with Candace's butt because of another episode, the Father's Day one. There's a scene near the end where the whole family is hugging Lawrence, except Phineas who puts his hands on her butt and lays his head against her back with a broad smile on his face. It hardly makes sense for him to do it in context and it really is a 'what' moment, but it does make sense that if Phineas had a subconscious thing for Candace's butt he would take the chance to snuggle up to it. And you made Candace have good reasons for agreeing to it, even if the shipper in me would have wanted to see Phineas slightly envious at the fact that Candace mentioned Jeremy and so clearly distinguishes between this one-time dream thing with Phineas and her real world relationship with Jeremy. But I know it would take a lot for Phineas to get jealous.

I guess it says something about me and my usual reluctant approach to sex scenes that although of course I wanted to read about Phineas and Candace having sex, I liked the fact that Phineas is turned on so much by the fact that Candace actually wants him to do this the most. They're experiencing, enjoying, and loving each other in a way they've never done before and although Phineas is always good-humored and undeterred by Candace's treatment of him, not even realizing her aggressive approach to busting them means she wants them to get in trouble rather than just telling their mother about the fun things they do, it must feel so good to have his sister act sweet and affectionate and welcoming to him for once.

Nice work!

Hello, this is the same Phineas and Ferb fan who reviewed the earlier chapter(s). Like most of the other reviewers, I’m not nearly as invested in Ferb/Linda as I am in Phineas/Candace, if only for the age gap, the fact that Linda is married and the fact that it’s hard to see them as a serious ship where it’s just about possible to imagine Phineas and Candace actually getting together. But since this story as a whole interests me, I’m happy to see you’ve updated at last and I’m kind of curious how you’ll approach it, I’ll try to give it an in-depth review anyway.

I see you’ve taken the same approach as with Phineas and Candace – splitting up the dreams and having the more eager part of one seduce the less eager part of the other for maximum effect – but you’ve located the dreams to a lab and a cruise ship, rather than just Ferb and Linda’s bedrooms (well, picking Linda’s bedroom would be awkward because Lawrence would usually be present, so I see why you did that – even if Ferb would of course normally be in Phineas’ room, and there was no trace of him there last chapter. Oh, well.)

The fact that Linda justifies everything by acknowledging it was a dream, while Phineas and Candace took the whole ordeal a lot more seriously from the start, is interesting… and then that brief Stacinger interlude to prove other people do indeed have incest dreams caught me off-guard. I don’t think anyone has ever shipped that ship before.

And then Ferb believes it’s a dream too – until Linda makes that one mistake. That’s a nice twist, especially because he’s so curious and sciencey (and probably other reasons he doesn’t want to acknowledge) that he goes ahead with printing her anyway.

Part of me feels this dream is a bit less realistic than the experience shared between Phineas and Candace, because of the overemphasis on the fact that it is a dream and the fact that Linda and Ferb don’t really try to resist unlike Phinny and Candy did. I can’t imagine real-life Ferb and Linda starting a relationship sooner than Phineas and Candace would. The whole situation seems a lot more dreamlike and without repercussions on the real world than the last chapter.

In response to your review reply, I wanted to thank you for writing that and saying that upon some reflection I agree with you on the whole feelings-vs-hormones thing, that Phineas might feel closer affection for his sister but it’s Candace who would be grappling with teenaged hormones and physical desire towards her brother. It’s a bit of a paradox – on one hand, Phineas is the more reactive of the two and the one who is least interested in romance and sex in general, but I can’t see Candace ever seriously going for her brother without Phineas making the first move. I’ve written a lengthy Phindace story myself (which didn’t include sex, which made it slightly less complicated overall) in which I had to juggle Phineas being the one having a relatively innocent crush on his sister and him wanting to make a move but still being inexperienced in those matters, while Candace is the one who knows all about those things and urges but tries to resist them because this is Phineas, after all.

It is all in all a very interesting scenario, but now you’ve made me all the more interested for what happens next on the Phindace front. (Like, for instance, the question of how long the conversation between the 'What in the world did we just do' moment and the 'So, wanna try that again?' moment lasts.) Here’s hoping we readers won’t have to wait too long!
