With the close of [Round 3] I am going to move both Justine and Melanie move to Tier 1 and leave our trio of ties to fight another day.

Joining them are...

Fysnn, a Vanir of Lust and daughter of Sjofn. Born out of what is said to have been an orgy with her mother at the center, this Norse demi-goddess  is all about the sensual things in life, usually exhausting her entire Valkyrie honor guard to find satisfaction. She found herself summoned to Midgard's future by a time-displaced succubus trying to get home. They hooked up in Story #182, Coincidences of Lust where her appetites were sated by a single partner for the first time.

While Dawn is the draw, she does not really exist independently of Dawnia, the fusion of Daws and Rich after the earrings turned them into women in the process nominally because each of their X chromosomes ended up dominating the merge. First appeared in Story #179, 2XY.

I really liked Fyssn, but I have to land my vote on Dawnia because the concept was so interesting! Also, as a norse person, I can't quite wrap my head around how you intended "Fysnn" to be pronounced - "nn" isn't really a suffix that exists in old norse. Singular R and, if a feminine word, a single N is sort of a definite article - "Nidhöggr" for example means "THE Nidhögg", or "The foul biter/cutter/slasher", and "Sjöfn" means "The Sjafni" - the lover. TLDR would be, it would probably be more correct old norse if you dropped one n :3 Also, Sjöfn was an asynja (female aesir), not a vanir, but that's a minor detail~

Wait, Sjofn was asynja? Frack. I had figured since she was a handmaiden of Frigg, who might also be Freya from what I could tell, that they would be of the same people. Honestly, Fsyn is probably better served as a daughter of Lofn, Goddess of Forbidden Love since she is a polygamous lesbian, but I could find no primary sources on whether forbidden love was just illicit affairs and decried unions or if it extended to same sex relationships. The only mention of it was on a website for what seems to be a neopagan group devoted to Freya and her handmaidens which listed Sjofn and Lofn as lovers. Lofn appeared in Bronze Age Thor as a collaborator of Loki, and there, Lofn is said to be a sister to Sofjn(who does not have an in-canon appearance). The Edda really only mentions them as of the 16 asynja (some of whom are also Vanir?). It ended up way more effort than I wanted to spend on "an hour story" since I had really just been looking for a succubus analogue in Norse mythology and ended up just translating what it think was lust from English. Do you have any ideas?
