Yay Yael is back, and she is distracting Freya from her outside worries. The "emptiness inside me taking hold once again", and she'll just continue filling it with more and more. And she and Yael clearly have a history of sexual relations, and she finds solace in Rhys, but non of it replaces Oliver. Where does this end for Freya?
And she's crying over Oliver for the second chapter in a row :/ This chapter in particular has a very dark tone to me. Yael's unbridled positivity at going to another event, where her solution is more substances, we are really starting to understand the streak of Freya's burnout.
OH MAN YOU DID NOT PULL A FIANCEE REVEAL OUT LIKE THAT
anyway, back again soon

I swear Oliver is yet another addiction to Freya. I fear him becoming like another one of her addictions, less effective and monotony. Your description is just amazing, every scene further and further delving into their relationship. And then she walks outside and the illusion falls, and she is in fear of him leaving. Though Oliver has shown no chance of leaving, she still is afraid.
Oh no! And now Wood is afraid that she has been using her Veela powers on him, that is too sad :/ And now there is a disconnect between them, so hot and cold (though mostly hot) Her walls are breaking down, and the insecurities about the Veela part of her are coming out.
EEEE! Can't wait for more
blackballet (for the Ice Otters)
Daphne is the ringleader here and Freya and Oliver are her two best clowns, except maybe Oliver also pulled some of his Quidditch strings. But he is definitely stuck in her brain. Also the communal cat I am cackling. I love Rhys so far.
I also love her in Hexenheim. You show brilliant description in the settings as well as the characters. Lol Daphne trying to tempt Freya, who will be having none of that. She doesn't care that it's Oliver, or if she does, she is not letting you know it. Perhaps the reason she is so drawn to Wood is simply because it is uncontainable, much in the way that men lust over her. Or maybe he's just hot.

Oh, poor Freya, the regretted hangover. Aww the cat and Freya seem so cute together, like a reluctant grumpy couple. The way that she falls in and out of these highs and lows, drinking and drugging and having sex and then craving one of the options, I wonder if she ever comes out of the hole.
Honestly, I don't know if it's just me, but if someone was hitting on me constantly I would not want to visit them in the morning for a hangover fixer. Oh, I loved her analysis on men knowing that she's a Veela, seems very accurate. Like the sort of thing men have blamed her for :/
Her relationship with her mother is so fraught at the end of this chapter. She just wants to enjoy the frivolities that her job offers. This makes me upset, because I want her to care about herself and love herself, but maybe it really does make her happy and I am too blinded to see it!
And of course, here comes another run-in with Wood!!
blackballet (for the Otters!)
It feels so strange to be reviewing...this scene. But, with that said, it's very well done. I feel their tension between the few words and heavy breathing and lack of silence and space. Wonderful. Something I notice (in my own writing too) is that a lot of characters smoke? A strange sort of glorification of smoking, especially for this generation.
So now Oliver wants to...be with her? And Freya is getting out while the getting is good? Good for her. I also love the obscurity surrounding her profession. The way that she reacts to his jab about her sleeping with ancient men makes it seem like that is an inevitability in her line of work.
And then she returns to the locale, and she smokes and drinks and drinks some more unidentifiable potions, downing herself in more substances. I need to learn more about Freya, and inconsequently or not, Oliver!
blackballet (for the Ice Otters)
Yes I love secrets and secret societies and high society (reading about it, not in practice). Freya's resignation to her status as a Veela makes me feel like there will be quite a bit of importance in that throughout the text, and I am so excited. Nothing gets me going quite like secrets and magical beings. YES Freya ignore him, Oliver Wood is no one to you and your mystery. I love her constant retreat from Oliver in this banter, even though she has privately admitted to being attracted to him. Also, that attraction doesn't necessarily mean sex, though sometimes it really, really does.
I love how much Freya is in control of her sexuality, and I might require a reappearance by Yael, whose friction with Freya is undeniable. Though, being a Veela, I suppose she is used to that. AHH. Cannot wait to see how these two play out.
blackballet (for Ice Otters)
Hello it has been far too long since I’ve read this so here I am :elmofire: Freya waking up from the night’s events to a very insistent meowing from her adopted stray cat and just then realizing how fucked up she got and how much pain she is actually in from both the hangover and the various bumps, bruises, and cuts she picked up last night makes me go “ouch”. I am curious if we’re going to see more of her neighbor Rhys, and what his connections may mean later on plotwise. Also a mood though for her forgetting she’s got a lunch meeting and doing the quick scrub and run out the door to the restaurant. Her mother is clearly at odds with her daughter very frequently, but this meeting obviously isn’t helping as she starts an argument with Freya as soon as she sits down. WHAT A CLIFFHANGER ENDING, KRIS AHHFH! Wood just fucking smirking at her after he’s also finished reading his letter, god, what a dude. Ahhhhhhhh is how I feel now, so, thanks I guess :joy:

Fairy foxy review event
Oof wow! That was such a really good sex scene. I mean I felt the need for dominance tenfold. The desire that was just explosive and people tearing and clawing to get to the important parts of one another...yeah...felt it all. Good sex bro. :)
I also love how this was a total powerplay. Like Wood expected her to stay and maybe I don't know...cuddle doesn't seem right given what just unfolded between these two in chapters 1 and 2. But I love that she defies his expectations and leaves after she gets what she wants. It's wonderful agency and I am always here for that sort of thing.
I am really intrigued by this piece. I want to see where this goes and I'm so glad you recently finished it because now I can just binge read it haha.
As always your writing is vivid and full of strong emotions that make me go "whoa."
Brava friend!

Hi Kris, here for the fairyland review event! <3
The conclusion of this Freya/Oliver saga! I was so interested going into this last chapter to see how things would wrap up after the twistiness of the last couple of chapters (whole thing, really!) and when the chapter began I was like, Oooh, is this a happily ever after for them?? (not that this necessarily felt like a happily ever after story, but I can always hope for a happy ending!) — and then Freya was thinking about how she was going to leave again and I was like OMG NO — and then… and then… ???
I do love how you handled the ending, I feel like this was the right way to go about it. It feels hopeful and warm but not naive and it’s not all tied up with a pretty bow, and there’s plenty of ambiguity, but the connection and the understanding between them is there. How open Oliver is with her and how he’s put his cards on the table, and if nothing else Freya is finally able to be honest with him as well, even if that just means telling him her fears, even if she doesn’t know whether this is a good idea or not. I thought that this all taking place at Oliver’s home, symbolic of him really letting her into his life, was a great setting for this (and the pancakesssss!) And it makes me hopeful for Freya allowing herself to feel safe with him and to believe him and trust him, now that she sees that he trusts her.

Hi Kris! Back for the review event.
I love the fact that Freya and Oliver are now joking with other as well. They seem a lot more comfortable with each other, comfortable with just like existing together when they’re not in the middle of having sex. I’m also really liking the fact that when Freya left the house it was to go for a walk and work out her feelings instead of just leaving Oliver flat out (even though she was about to do that when she came back). I really liked that conversation between them, when Freya yelled out all her feelings about being a Veela and the insecurity it had given her. I particularly liked the ending line – “I want you to ruin me” is such a good way to phrase their relationship and such an Oliver way to express his commitment to Freya to her. Also this line? “It feels like when I’m with him, when he kisses me and when he smiles, the darkness is just out of reach, a mere echo of danger.” Both gorgeous and also such a good way of describing their relationship. I adore your way with words and how well you write your prose and your descriptions are always gorgeous please teach me your skills.
I thought this was a really good way of ending this fic. I loved reading about Freya and Oliver and I’ll be back for some more of your writing soon!

Hi Kris! Back for the review event.
I really like how you described the sort of dance that Freya and Oliver were doing at the start of the chapter when they were dancing around how they knew each other (and how well) when talking to Oliver’s fiancee. You can still see the enormous amount of attraction that they have for each other and I’m very curious about whether or not the fiancee noticed (because if she did that would be… interesting). I also love your creativity in coming up with names and descriptions of places for these parties to occur in and also the names of the potions that they take while they’re partying. Also of course Freya goes straight for the guy who would make Wood jealous. They’re definitely not over each other at all, and yet he’s engaged to someone else. You did a great job describing that part of the chapter where Freya was dancing with Raphael but also watching Oliver to see his jealousy. Freya’s father is a jerk and you wrote his jerkery so well. I love that Freya and Oliver are coming back together, but they really need to have a conversation about this, especially about the minor issue that Oliver is engaged (especially because Oliver doesn’t really seem to care about that).
This chapter was really good and I’m looking forward to reading the next one!
~Liv
Hi Kris! Back for the review event.
I really liked the beginning of this chapter. You did an amazing job describing what was going on and showing Freya’s enjoyment of what was happening while also showing how she was still unsatisfied by it and needed Oliver. Ooohh, another event? I have a feeling that Oliver is going to be at this event, because three months without him is a long time and it’s quite obvious how much Freya misses Oliver (or his body).
Oh my god. That bombshell at the end was not what I was expecting. What a cliffhanger. Oliver has a fiancee? Part of me thinks that this isn’t really real because three months is not a long time and also that look he shared with Freya at the end before his fiancee was introduced. Although at the same time three months, and Oliver’s definitely well-known and probably well-desired so at the same time it shouldn’t be a surprise. This was an excellent way to end the chapter and I will be back RIGHT AWAY for the next one.
~Liv
Hi Kris! Back for the review event.
Your prose is, as I’ve said before, absolutely gorgeous. The words you choose do an amazing job at showing the setting and showing the feelings of your characters. This, for example: “He has found me, as if we are two magnets, the king and the queen of undisclosed desires, attracting each other through space and time. Right up until we crash and burn.” This is such a beautiful sentence that conveys such a specific feeling and I am in awe of your writing skills. I love the flirtiness of them asthey tease each other. I also think you did a really good job writing the parts of the chapter where they’re having sex. That end of the chapter, though. My heart. They definitely need to have a sit down conversation and talk about it, but I think you wrote this really well as it’s definitely not like them to have that sit down conversation, and they’re such messes but I love them. This was a great chapter and I’ll be back for the next one soon!
~Liv
Hi Kris! Back for the review event.
I KNEW IT WOULD BE OLIVER. I’m really looking forward to their interactions because it’s going to be absolutely amazing. I also love the fact that Freya just hands Rhys the cat and tells him to take care of it. Your description of the shoot was really good and your did an amazing job showing the tension (sexual and otherwise) between Freya and Oliver while it was going on. I loved their interactions. Also, that ending. I definitely wasn’t expecting it (especially not in the club itself) but it’s really fitting after their interactions at the shoot where you could tell that they desired each other. I’m really looking forward to them working out what happened at the beginning of the story because there definitely seems to have been baggage there (even if they may be trying to inadvertently fuck through it?). Also your prose is, as usual, absolutely gorgeous and amazing and I love your descriptions of things. This was a really good chapter and I’ll be back for more soon!
~Liv
Hi Kris! I’m back here for the review event.
I really liked this chapter. Your descriptions as usual are really good and I love your prose and how casually amazing it is. Please teach me your skills.
I really like how this cat seems to have adopted Freya and decided that she is its human. I also really like how Freya has just casually decided to put up with the cat and is just like “please don’t drink my coffee on me or knock it over”.
I’m very curious about this Rhys guy. This is Oliver/OC so I doubt that Freya will get together with him – especially because he seems to be kind of creepy and she doesn’t at all seem like someone who would stand for that. He styill seems very mysterious and I’m very curious about him and want to learn more about him later.
I really liked the section with Freya’s mother. She seems very career focused and driven and I can definitely understand why she’s not happy with Freya for her choice of career. I really liked the dynamic of their interactions and I can definitely tell how Freya is her mother’s daughter in some respects.
I’m very curious about this Berlin shoot! Part of me in very suspicious about this shoot and thinks that Oliver is going to be the surprise partner who this guy is sure Freya is going to love. Especially because Oliver is smirking at Freya at the end of the chapter. I’m very excited about where this is going to go and I think you ended the chapter on a perfect place.
I really loved this and I’ll be back soon!
~Liv
Hi Kris! I’m here for the review event.
I’m not sure how much detail I should be going into here about the start of the chapter *coughs* but it was very well written, the detail was really good and it was probably the best written of all the scenes of this, ah, type, that I’ve ever read. So you did an excellent job with that part of the chapter.
I’m really curious about Oliver’s backstory. Your OC seems very quick to judge Oliver as just out for another fling, even though judging from his reaction after she says that it seems that he was genuinely attracted to her. And he assumed that she was just looking for a quick fling? They had very good chemistry so I’m hoping they can work that out.
I also can’t blame her for wanting to drown out what just happened with Oliver and I’m very curious about the Greengrass brothers (who are very casually mentioned).
I really liked the end of the chapter and I think you ended it really well so that I want to continue reading. I think the last sentence in particular is very significant – the wording especially, and I’m very excited for the rest of the fic, which I will be back to read soon.
~Liv
hey kris,
here for fairyland reviewing event,
i can't believe this finished! it was so unexpected but i love it. it works so damn well! that last line is too perfect for this fic. I've always been so impressed at the chemistry that you've created together these together is so wonderful, passionate and raw. I wasn't sure what type of ending that I would have expected between these two but you found the perfect balance. It's basically good ending in your books. I love it so much! I'm too busy raving about that ending that I forgot about the rest of the chapter almost!
I love how the emotions that Freya is showing this chapter. I love how this story has really peel her back, learning new things about her. It's just good storytelling. I love that she is laughing and being a bit silly. she needs more of that really. You can really tell that her feelings for Oliver are changing and growing. as freya would say ' it was so much easier when he was just a Quidditch fuckboy.'
It was pretty beautiful seeing freya and oliver making the emotional touch in this chapter. oliver opens up a bit about sky which obviously something very important and emotional for him. I really like that headcanon for him tbh, I don't see much of Oliver being fleshed out like this story. I enjoyed more being added to his character's motivations. they really just seemed like happy for moment. I think before reality sets in again that Oliver is engaged. everything is way too messy.
I thought you played Freya's last rant perfectly. It shows so much about her character's thought process and how she views herself. I've always loved that veela narrative that you've opened with this story. I think it's very unique and interesting issue to cover in a character. There is so much of this that is so good! I'm so sad that it's ending! you really did give it the most perfect ending though <33
Abbi xx
OMG Kris !!!
Thank you for this, ah! It's been a while since I read this story, but I still remember how Freya's character moved me and how this scorching romance between the two was both exhilirating and frustrating, because she always fled and Oliver always didn't deal with it very well. I feel so healed and whole now at the end, even though it's unclear what's in store for them going forwards, but just the fact that they both finally dared to be open and honest and vulnerable makes the journey so worth it, and gives me hope that both of them can heal, with or without each other. His last words to her just make me swoon and want to cry at the same time. How important to feel like you're truly wanted, loved maybe, despite your inner darkness. yes, yes, i am so happy she told him how she felt, i am so happy he told her it hurts when she leaves and that he wants her no matter how dangerous this could be for the both of them.
and omg your writing, every single line from beginning to finish felt like a poetic masterpiece. It was a joy to read, as always! There is so much skill but also soul in your writing, i always find it enchanting and inspiring both. And also, congrats on finishing a story, I myself know how difficult that can be, but this ending feels so right and it was absolutely worth waiting for !
Eli for January RvG <3
Hey Kris! Hope you're well!
Comparing the stray cat and Oliver as both being handsome prats is exactly what I needed to read this morning, I love that so much!
Ooh we do not like Rhys. I really feel sorry for Freya to have him as a neighbour. But living on Knockturn Alley as she does, I can't say I'm surprised. It must be awful! I really hope we get a happy ending for this one, I think Freya could do great things with better circumstances.
I liked meeting her mother, I found that really interesting to find them so at odds. And the atmosphere of the restaurant was written so perfectly, I just love the dark muffled world this story is set in. And the ending! Omg is Oliver the modelling partner? Can NOT wait for that!!!
Lovely chapter, Kris!
Okay so I MIGHT have accidentally read Taylor's review for this chapter pre-actually reading it and was fully gearing up for ultimate sadness and despair and what a GREAT SURPRISE!!!!!
I love this ending, it is so perfect, I love that Oliver and Freya both got glimpses into each other's family drama within the same night and it humanized them for each other, and also makes something concretely relatable between them other than their hotness and stubbornness (which is super fun to read so no complaints here.)
I love that Freya spent the whole night walking around and had every opportunity to leave and didn't, even if she didn't quite put that together yet, and that they are going to give it a whirl!!! I love these kinds of endings, it reminds me a lil of Eternal Sunshine (spoilers? lol idk) and how they get back together in the end with the knowledge that, yeah, there's a really good chance we're going to fuck this up because we can be toxic for each other, but there's enough really great stuff to make it worth trying. And that's totally what it feels like with these two. That last line, UGH. And "You'll never fade for me?????" CMON OLIVER yeesh.
And OCTAVIA. I gasped out loud when I read the chapter that introduces her at the end, lol. tbh I wanna know more about her but at the same time you wrapped this up perfectly. It just seems like opportunistic Oliver taking advantage of a situation, and also being surprised as how heartbroken he was over Freya and needing a rebound.
I could go on for yeras so pls excuse this rambling review but GREAT JOB and I'm so glad that I came back to this fic!! Freyiver? Olivah? idk what their ship name is but I'm here for it
I'm so so so glad I came back to this fic. When I first read it, I seem to remember you planning on making it a one-shot and I am SO STOKED that you've continued. Freya is a likeable character and entirely realistic even though she's literally a model. I love the balance of her loneliness and glamorous lifestyle, and we get the feeling that she's taken this modeling job out of a kind of hopelessness, like it's not what she wants for herself but as a part-Veela it was the easiest way to make quick money and so she finds herself living this destructive lifestyle that comes along with being a model.
The scene with her mother was great. There is so much tension between them and you gave us actual reasons why, with her mother being a Veela rights advocate and lawyer, and disproving of Freya's lifestyle.
I am SO EXCITED for this upcoming trip and to learn more about Oliver. He really does seem like the quintessential fckboy right now and honestly that makes my toes curl (even though he do be hot) but we got a glimpse of something more human under that layer when they had their argument. I'm excited to find out more about him and to see how they do or don't better each other--honestly it could go either way.
Your writing has always been so dark and evocative and I love the little atmospheric touches you put in (also snorted at Horizont Alley) and hearing about this sleek, socialite lifestyle that would obviously have been so over Harry's head lol.
ANYWAY I hope that's not too much gushing. Can't wait to binge read this today! Amazing amazing job Kris!!!
Here for your review request Kris!
As always, your writing is extremely transportive and you establish setting in such a strong yet effortless way. I see everything through your protagonists eyes, which allows for you to really take in the important parts of the scene without making things feel heavy. I love the visuals of this club and the little details like drinks magically appearing and disappearing, but bottles being exempt from this rule. I can see the thought you put into the setting and how it also relates to the narrators profession. Also there is an irony to it being called The Serpent and everything being "Slytherin," themed. I loved that the narrator points this out in such an ironic way as well.
I thought it was brilliant to have her as a model. So much can be said for the profession, and there are so many stigmas and/or stereotypes attached to it. I think in any profession when the visual aspects of one's body are a commodity, it can complicate ones feeling about certain things. And you definitely get this vibe of restlessness and boredom from our narrator with this idea of what her profession means and the recognition she's received from it. But also, I felt a sort of satisfaction from her with this whole mentality of "feeling good at the end of a hard day's work," in this scene. Which I think is a very realistic thing because don't we all detest parts of our work and really enjoy others?
Ooh Oliver Wood as a fuckboy. I am most intrigued. But I think you set it up so well. Oliver's the sort of person who received a lot of praise and accolades from a young age and achieved 'superstar,' status pretty young, so that definitely has the ability to stoke your ego and turn you into the arrogant sort of person we see here. Anyway, I love the whole cat and mouse game your protag and him play here. You're really the master at setting up that sort of thing. But what makes it amusing is that they both know what the other person is doing, so that adds like a layer of fun to the narrative that they're both knowingly trying to disarm one another and totally being obvious in an "idgaf" way LOL.
Also, another strong point to your writing is your ability to write poetically within your prose. The paragraph beginning with "Wood and I are standing still in the middle of the crowd..." you expertly weave that sort of language in there. The images you convey with this language just always fits so easily into what action is taking place within your narrative. (Hopefully that made sense).
Anyway, I really enjoyed this. You really establish the setting so well and create these morally ambiguous characters that are also interesting and make me want to know more about and make me want some version of happiness for them. Oh and you know my thing for fringe characters, so of course with Oliver Wood being in this, I'm all *staring emoji* about it haha. Thanks for writing!
<3 Courtney
oh my god i can’t believe this is the end
also ajhngv;ajwhng ‘i don’t think i’ve heard you laugh before’ has made me WEAK, it is too early in this review to be communicating in incoherent keysmashes but that’s where we’re already at i guess
“He can be soft and he’s bright and there’s mischief in his eyes that twinkle when he laughs.” THIS LINE HAS BROKEN ME I AM DONE FOR
god i love oliver the quidditch fuckboy but i love oliver the quidditch fuckboy who’s also so much more than that even more <33333
(i don’t read a lot of oliver wood so your oliver has basically become my oliver and i think i’m very much okay with that)
ok but also, where is octavia?? does oliver make enough of a habit of disappearing at events that she’s just unbothered at this point? i wanna know more about them bc i’m just v grabby hands at this whole universe
HE MADE PANCAKES. AEGKJNA:FOGPJA:F
ok oliver was not in fact with octavia when he and freya were hooking up before - he has officially been fully redeemed from all my anger at him in previous reviews at this point and i am back to loving him with my whole heart
THIS ENDING. KRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HOW DARE YOU.
(but like in a good way. how dare you in a good way. whatever the fuck that means. i don’t think i’m making sense anymore.)
‘you’ll never fade, not for me’??? ‘i want you to ruin me’??? i am WEAK. W E A K.
i love these two and i love your writing and i love that you were able to give these two a happy ending because i am obsessed with it.
<3
-taylor
*says i’ll be right back and then is very much not right back*
anywaysssssss here we are i’m back now
oooooop the tension here between freya and oliver is at a peak, and with octavia standing between the two of them to boot. i don’t know if i have any particular feelings on octavia yet, beyond the fact that i’m annoyed with oliver for letting freya find out about her like this. but that’s an oliver problem, not a octavia problem :P
ok i love this description of the nymph, it’s so fucking vivid and also so aesthetically pleasing that i want it to exist just so i can go there lol
hell yes freya you get your revenge, and also flirt with a hot quidditch player while you’re at it, you fucking go
i mentioned liking yael and not really having a reason for it in the last review and i think i stand by that in this one, like she genuinely does seem to understand that something’s up with freya and even though she seems to enable some of freya’s worst impulses, she also seems to care for her, at least as a friend, and i think freya needs something like that.
lol raphael does not waste ANY time does he
hi hello is there a petition to punch freya’s father in the face because if not i’m gonna start it myself, what an absolute fucking shitbag of a human being
OLIVER. MY DUDE. CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING HALFWAY TO REDEEMING URSELF, U HAVE REGAINED POINTS BY STANDING UP TO THE SHITBAG
ahg;a;jhnakfhag;jfe HOTNESS
“you called me oliver” dasj;haoerhja first name moments DO THINGS TO ME I AM ALEKJGHVA.FGH;AL.FGV
congratulations on making me lose the ability to type real words anymore, i am now only able to communicate in keysmashes ajkldgaikrgaoiej
-taylor
I’M SORRY WHAT.
HE’S ENGAGED????
did he somehow meet someone and get engaged in the span of like three fucking weeks or has he been engaged this whole time???
AWJGALTF;DJFHAOL
(oh. hi. i’m here for the gifting event. i probably should have started with that but i had some Feelings™ to get out first, clearly.)
anyways, back to the beginning.
putting out fire with gasoline seems to be a pretty apt title for this chapter, because that feels about on par with freya’s coping mechanisms. instead of trying to properly get over oliver or handle it in a healthy way, she’s just masking it with sex and alcohol and drugs - whatever makes the pain go away the fastest. (no judgment from me on that, my coping mechanisms are also…. not the greatest.)
i kind of love yael though, and as far as distractions go, she seems to be a very good one, haha. and as usual, your sensory descriptions are on point and your smutty bits are very, very hot. it captures the highs and lows of freya’s experiences really well and i just…. asduhlgvaj.
freya is just…… she deserves so much better than what she’s going through right now, and i desperately need oliver to get his head out of his ass and fix this shit.
on to the next one we go <3
