Blackhawk
I put this in category EDGE because of the strong implication of incest with a minor.
Fifteen year old David entered his mother's bedroom and announced, "I am Blackhawk!"
His mother looked stunned and said, "What are you talking about?"
"I am Blackhawk. I am the guy you just spent two hours having cyber- sex with on AOL. I am the guy that you promised to let spank you and have sex with you, if he could find where you lived. I am here to collect!"
His mother was outraged. "You have been spying on me. How dare you!"
She rushed at David, hand raised to slap his face. He ducked and sat down. Her own momentum carried her right over his knees.
"Let me up! Leave my dress alone. Stop it! Don't you dare take my panties down!" she screamed as she struggled to get free. He answered with a laugh and two stinging slaps to her bare bottom.
"I am going to tell your father!" she yelled.
"Really, Mom?" he asked, as he continued to spank her. "That would mean I would have to show Dad all the chat logs I have. How you have been flitting and having online cyber-sex. And how you have been talking about meeting some of these guys you talk to online. I am sure he would just love reading the log of our sessions!"
That stopped her. She had to think. Which is not easy to do when someone is spanking your bare bottom.
"I cannot believe that Dad does not want to spank you!" he said. "You have such a great bottom, nice and round. And it is so nice to spank!"
"What do you want? How much it going to cost to shut you up and leave me alone?" she asked as she squirmed under the spanking.
"What I want, Mom is to keep our family together until my little sister graduates from high school. She is ten, that is eight years away. To make sure of that, I am taking control of you. I am putting child safeguards on your computer. I am blocking you from going to certain sites. And, from now on, when you are on the computer, you are going to sit near me so I can see what you are doing.
"And to satisfy your other needs, you will get a hard spanking every week. As well as spankings for anything else naughty, like not doing what I tell you.
"I can see that it is time for my sisters to come home. I don't want them to catch me with your panties down."
He let her up and kissed her. Then he went downstairs with her laptop. She looked at her red bottom in the mirror. He had done a really great job on her. As she took out her vibrator, she realized that her problem was not stopping her son. It was that she did not want to stop him.

"Blackhawk" feels very immediate and real even though the premise is unlikely. I like the author's clear, direct style and the fact that spanking is so central to the narrative. I see how this story fits into the Edge category, but the edgy elements are presented in a way that makes them much more palatable than they might be. Interesting.

I laughed out loud when I got to the first twist. At first I thought the kid was declaring himself Blackhawk, some kind of supervillan, in a childhood game that would lead to some backside busting.
I truly think it would have been a better story if his mother had turned around and hairbrushed him, but only because it would have been more realistic. But, then, it's pretty believable that someone might unknowingly do the chat-kinky with someone they know (and pretty funny, in my opinion).
It would have been edgier to me if there had been more realistic consequences. As is, it is more an exploration of childhood wish fullfilment, more dreamy that Mom would go so easily over her son's knee.

Turn around (child spanks parent) stories aren't generally my thing, partly because they're generally way too cute. This one is more interesting because it highlights the sexual nature of spanking for both the child spanker and the adult spankee. For me, the implication of that is that this sexual undertone would, or at least could, also be there when adult spanks child. That make this story interesting -- and made me wish the darker edge of that attraction could have been explored a bit more. One criticism of this story is that the characters lack unique voices -- both son and mother sound exactly the same.
