Technically speaking, it was group sex - Jon and Stephen physically in contact, Brian directing. (Just like the porn! Except...completely different.)
Stephen's in a pretty messed-up place. He's not attracted to subs, but he's triggered by intense domming; first he freezes, then goes into complete emotional breakdown mode. (There's probably a combination of "screwed-up family dynamics" and "abusive past experiences" feeding into that. The former predisposed him to the latter.) Here, he's getting a sort of lateral domming from BriWi, with Jon acting as a filter to screen out the scary elements. He's also getting domming from confusedly!genderqueer!Jon; in this case, their long friendship makes it easier for Stephen to trust Jon, which helps defuse the triggers.
...I don't know if I could produce that 30,000-word fic without falling back on rehashing stuff I've written before ^_^; But there is definitely more material than this fic (which was mostly just about pulling together the OT3) explored.
Stephen's rigid view of gender roles is causing trouble now. But when it comes to getting himself deprogrammed, Jon is probably the best candidate to help.
And, yeah, Stephen was talking to God there. (Thus why he was touching the clerical collar.) Which could also be read as slightly obnoxious from Jon's perspective ("I'm going to give the credit for your ideas to a deity you don't even believe in"), but in this case he doesn't mind.
I wouldn't spring DID on you in the last paragraph XD Although, come to think of it, he could have created Sweetness to be his own internal dom...
