Kriiiiis ahhh! Congrats on finishing this story! I'm so glad you popped into my request thread because I'm excited to continue with this!
Well hellooo. That opening scene. Omg. Hot hot hot. The chemistry and passion between them is so intense! I totally understand how overwhelming it must feel when nights like these aren't actually meant to mean anything. I also really enjoyed getting to know Wood a little bit more. It just makes me more curious about him and what he might be really like under that exterior.
These characters who immediately go out to lose themselves after something bad happens are the ones I really feel for, but I'm definitely looking forward to see how Freya fares as the story goes on, whether a change is in the works. This is one of your stories, though, so I can't be sure :P
I absolutely love the ending of this chapter, how Wood is just there on her body, a constant reminder. It definitely feels like something in her feelings for him has shifted here, and I can't wait to see what happens next! Lovely work, my dear!
This is the second time I’ve read this chapter and I’m still a mess. It was perfect and horrible and beautiful and I’m now just choosing to ignore the fact that this will all probably end in flames shortly after the ending because she STAYED AND ITS INCREDIBLE!!
These two are like these perfect toxic beautiful magnets who just can’t be without each other , and every time she tries to escape she can’t help but come back. It’s all horribly relatable and just wonderfully human. This whole story just reminds me of the quote that “the only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself.” because it’s so true and here it’s just a perfect example, helped obviously by the fact you’re actually just a beautiful writer and I’ve missed reading it so much.
The ending… it’s not happy… it’s more real than that, it’s ambiguous and there’s just SO much emotion there but it’s a positive, it’s babysteps in the right direction, even if it’s probably not going to work out. Somehow it’s better than if it was all near and happy happy happy because that wouldn’t have been true to the story. This is just perfect.
As always your prose are just poetic and just ART. Like there’s no other way to put it that I haven’t already. They draw out these emotion that just scream at you and make you want to scream, because you can just capture that humanity so well which is just so relatable.
Honestly it was all just beautiful and I want to read it again. And hug Freya, and maybe slap her too. I’m not sure yet. Helen of Troy indeed.
Anyway I think I’ve said beautiful enough times in one review and I’ve honestly forgotten how to coherently review these days but I loved it and thank you for writing it you amazing human!

Hi Kris! Dropping off a gift review for you – happy holidays!
So that first sentence was absolutely amazing. I love the vibe it sets and the language you used. Your prose throughout this chapter was absolutely gorgeous – I love how you described everything, such vivid language and I can see it clearly in my head.
I’m very interested in who this mystery man at the bar is. He seems to contrast with the rest of the men there in that he’s handsome and near Freya’s age. And then… it’s Oliver! I’m very interested now in learning about how you’re portraying Oliver, because I haven’t read many fics about him and all we know from Harry’s Super Unobservant perspective is his Quidditch obsession. I also really like your description of Freya’s attraction to Oliver, because it’s definitely something that I’ve noticed and you’re the first person who’s explicitly articulated it in fic and I just felt… seen?
Your description at the end of this chapter was so vivid and gorgeous and I just fjslkfjsflksjdfkl. I cannot wait to read the next chapter (which I am fully aware this is a completed fic) because I love how you ended this chapter and I will be back for more soon!

Kris, hello, yes, you made me ship these two and I am a mess because your prose is really good.
I don't know what to say in this becasue I was not expecting it to go this way, but I was, and it was really good and I don't know how to use words right now. Also, Freya, please keep calling him a fuckboy. I love these two and the ambiguous ending and thank you Branwen, Lo, and Kris' hot neighbor for inspiring this.
Pls just imagine an elmo fire gif right here because I feel like it'd fit and I have no words to describe how good your writing is. Have a nice day!

will leave coherent review later but right now i just need to scream
i am screaming
fucking screaming
ELMOFIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +1000000
Hi, I'm here for the Gryffinclaw Review Event.
Wow! Freya has such supportive parents (and I thought her mother was bad.) What in the world happened that caused her father to despise her so much? I hope you explore the backstory to their relationship.
We see a lot of vulnerabilities in Freya, but what about Oliver? He only appears to be a quidditch playing womanizer whose speciality is infidelity. Will we see more of what makes him tick?
I doubt Octavia is that oblivious to her fiance's transgressions, but she needs to decide quickly if it is worth it. There doesn't seem to be any indication that he wants to change.
Yet at the very end of the chapter, a hint of something with more depth (if calling some by their name is considered depth.) Perhaps he really is interested. . . but I wouldn't trust him.
Hi, I'm here for the Gryffinclaw Review Fest.
I still like Rhys best. (Sorry, Oliver.) I love the scene when she fosters her at on him. His look of shock and her excuse of a "communal cat" (Snicker, snicker.) I wonder what the Welsh blonde thinks when he returns with a cat! Still, Freya must care for the feline on some level since she is concerned that he gets his can of tuna while she is gone.
I can't believe Wood planned this! I wonder how he pulled it off, although obviously his planning paid off. (I question how much of a challenge she really is) The modeling scene was well done. I like how you added a magical touch to the lingerie.
Hi, I'm here for the Gryffinclaw Review Fest.
I like Rhys. I love the line, "If you don’t count the fact that his flat is a secret stash of illegal weapons, he’s perfectly nice." He may give Freya a hard time, but I bet he'd be there if she had an emergency.
Your description is fabulous, just the agony of waking up and making coffee makes you feel like your in the middle of a hangover yourself.
And the mother-daughter dynamics--yet another one of Freya's problems in life. Why do I have a feeling her modeling career was partly chosen as rebellion.
And we all know who the surprise partner is. . . I wonder if Oliver knew about this ahead of time or it's just coincidence. I doubt he actually planned it since their encounter the night before. After all, Freya only got up an hour ago, so if he did, he's been a very busy bee. . . I mean quidditch keeper.
Hi, I'm here for the Gryffinclaw Review Fest.
What was it you put on your AP. "my stories feature girls with bad habits. . . " Freya definitely has some bad habits and lives a life of highs and lows.
The fight between them was telling and questioning at the same time. Why was Wood annoyed that she knew of his reputation? Was he interested in something more or was he just annoyed that she "dumped" before he had the chance to turn the tables?
But in the end, we see all of her insecurities too. The pick me up seems completely realistic in a modern wizarding world and given how healing potions etc. tend to be stronger than muggle medicine, I can't imagine the trip those two vials took her on. Seriously, how did she apparate like that? I think I would have kept an Uber Portkey in my bag.
She's definitely living in the fast lane and looks like she she's crashing and burning more than she should.
Hi, I'm here for the Gryffinclaw Review Fest.
Wow! You should publish Pant and Groan novelles. I can just see Oliver Wood on the cover (no shirt of course) with his new Veela draped over him.
The description is dynamic. From the setting to the characters, you've painted a very vived picture of room, the way it pulses and the characters within it. The banter between Wood and Freya creates such sexual tension which just ignites when she moves to the dance floor.
Great job setting up the dynamics between these two. It will be interesting to see who wins this "war" that has been waged.

Hi Kris! <3
Even from the first line, I’m intrigued! Well done with that hook!
So apparently our MC is a mode. I wasn’t expecting that. And they went to Durmstrang. The club does sound alluring. The idea of mood enhancers in the air is very clever.
OH! Part veela! You keep throwing curve balls and it’s been like 500 words :P
Not really relevant, but I love the name Freya!
Having to treat flirting like work sounds really really awful.
I should have looked at the story shell, which I didn’t at all. I was assuming this was next gen focused and it is not lol. ... HI OLIVER. Your intro to Oliver depicts him with more finesse than a lot of stories I’ve read and I am really into it.
I have stopped live reviewing because there is too much electricity. Please Hold.
Wow. I can see this story is going to be fun. 10/10 steamy beginning.
I liked the way you balanced Freya’s narration between her internal thoughts/feelings and the action happening in the scene. I think it’s hard to get that balance exactly right and you nailed it.
I hope I can come back soon, after I’ve reviewed 10 different authors. I am definitely intrigued by this!
xoxo Renee
honestly as I've been reading this I've been really going back and forth about how I felt re: Freya and Oliver and if my love for the model/actor representing them had anything to do with it (honestly mostly Bridget Satterlee I'm sure you understand) but I have been thoroughly done in with the "you called me oliver" (honestly how dare you) and I would like them to stop being stupid and self-sabotaging but I have a strong feeling that won't be the case anytime soon if ever so never fear my hopes are not high :'( that being said, I admire your creativity in this and eveerything else I've read by you so much - like it's all the little touches, the 'serpentgin' (which is so clever and I am literally so bad at magic-fying normal things so I'm probably unreasonably impressed when other people can do it well tbh) and the layers of the interactions between characters as well as the complex, messy nature. I think a lot of the time I gravitate toward fics that have more streamlined or straightforward narratives and relationships because they're kind of an idealized version of what I would like in my own life, but there's something really appealing about the chaos here too in that some relationships are just... so chaotic and don't work out the way you want them to because you're self-sabotaging or by the time you realize what you want he's gone and gotten a fiance named Octavia.
so I think the tldr here is that these two are mad frustrating but in a lovely way where I want to keep reading them being frustrating and hope that they get together in the end or at least sort their crap out somewhat and I will look forward to the next update! :D <3<3 Julie
Alrighty I’m right back because WTF and also RvG Red :P
OF COURSE SHE HAS A GIGANTIC RING! UGH! Actually I don’t know if I should hate her yet… I’ll reserve judgement… for now…
Oh MAN Roger coming in clutch. He’s said like three lines and I love him!
WHAT??? Okay so he plays for Puddlemere and is engaged to the team owner’s daughter? I gotta assume conflict of interest here. And obviously now they have to break up, oh no, I don’t make the rules. And oh baby Freya. I feel like that’s my mantra in this story. STOP HURTING HER!!!
OOOH YES OCTAVIA DRAG HIM! HE’S A CHEATER AND A SCOUNDREL!!!
Oh man, The Nymph sounds like the perfect place for a holiday party. I don’t know why that was the first thought that came to mind but it did and I stand by it!
I MEAN I DON’T WANT HER TO DO DUMB THINGS BUT IT SEEMS NO ONE CAN STOP HER SO YOU GO GIRL, GET THE FRENCH MAN! I know you didn’t say but I’m choosing to believe he looks like Antoine Griezmann, my favourite soccer player ever of whom I have a collage that was gifted to me for a birthday. Yeah, Freya, get it girl ;)
Ooh, girl gonna show Wood what he’s missing. As a certified petty person, I’m here for it!
WOW OKAY THAT MANAGER CAN GET FUCKED! LIKE STRAIGHT UP!
Oh… uh… what? Imma need you to back it up like a Tonka truck this time. WHAT?!?!?!?
WHAT I HATE THIS MAN WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!? WHY IS HE SO AWFUL?!?!?! NOOOO YOU CAN’T BE ENDING THIS CHAPTER ON THIS NOTE WITH NO OTHER CHAPTERS UP!! KRIS!!! NO??!?!?
Oh wait what, why is this happening I’m so confused, isn’t his fiancee here? Isn’t he at all worried about her/someone else catching them? EYES FULL OF SIN IS RIGHT! ADULTERER!!! (not that I’m condemning them per se, but like dude, you got a fiancee, get some class even if you are hotter than hell)
I mean me too, wtf just happened, what happens if someone had caught them? But like also hot tho…
AWWWWW SHE CALLED HIM OLIVER THAT’S SOMEHOW SO CUTE IN THIS CONTEXT!!!
KRIS YOU HAVE TO KEEP WRITING THIS!!! PLEASE FOR ME??? I am but a sad little reader asking for a tiny thing <3 And as always, thank you for writing this, I loved it! It’s amazing, everything is so fun to read even if I am constantly shouting :P
Lo <3
Heyyy! I’m here after one too many glasses because I love you and also because this is for our review swap and also HOW CAN I NOT AFTER THAT ENDING OF THE LAST CHAPTER? Also RvG I guess :P (team red!)
Holy damn, alright Yael and Freya are hot. A little bit poor decision makers but who amongst us isn’t? I mean definitely both a parallel and a diversion from how the last chapter ended with Wood. And then Rhys… Why does her staying with him make me feel so icky? OH RIGHT BECAUSE NO WHY??? I mean I know why and I understand it, but like oh baby Freya :(
I mean oof I don’t want to IMAGINE that hangover. And then of course the crying, oh baby. I mean if I left someone like Wood in bed and didn’t talk to him again I would be sad too…
Oh man, why do I get the feeling that Wood is going to be at this event… Probably because it’s gonna happen and I’m so here for it! Ooh Roger Davies! AND OF COURSE OLIVE WOOD WOOOOOO!!!
Wait what. Please back that up like an ass, WTF is happening here Kris. Why does Oliver Wood have a fiancee. It was two months. Either he’s a cheating shithead or he moves on reeeeallll quick. I mean I guess it’s a good thing I still have another chapter to review BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU END IT THERE?!?!??! I mean I get why but WHY!??!
Dang Kris, as always, thank you so much for writing this because I’m have a grand old time reading/reviewing. Also write more soon, I think next chapter will break me <3
Lo <3
And I’m back, back, back again! (for review swap and RvG June!)
Oh man, the way you describe Oliver Wood is sinful. He is by far the character that has been described in the hottest way in all the years I have been reading fic and OF. (although I’m hoping that they don’t end up crashing and burning but I don’t have much faith in that…)
The club scene of them dancing is such amazing description. It feels distorted, like I was the one who took the Moonfrost (even if I don’t know what that is). But it’s such an amazing feeling because it’s so easy to slip into Freya’s mind with the descriptions you have.
Also “make me” is probably the hottest thing someone can say, ever, in response to anything. I mean saying that now there are probably some situations where it wouldn’t work, but I still maintain that statement.
And the bathroom (and everything after really)… Dang that was hot, but also dang, can she be more careful? I don’t want her to get too hurt! My inner momma bear is coming through…
Oh Freya. :( Her tears made me want to tear up. Sweetie, he likes you, he’s just an idiot!
OHHHHH HE’S SUCH A SWEETHEART!!! OH MY GOSH WHAT A BABE I LOVE HIM!!!
Freya, girl, I know you’ve been hurt by guys that look like him and say those words, but this man just wants to love you let him love you oh my gooooooosh!!!!
UGH!
WHY?
Anyways, if you couldn’t tell, the ending to this chapter has DEVASTATED me, so I can’t thank you for writing it because it HURTS (but also like thank you, it’s amazing :P ) UGH!!! I just want them to do cute shit because that’s the way I am but UGHHHHH!!!
Alright but actually this was a steamy chapter and I loved it and I cannot wait to come back and just AGH and UGH and WHY over them all over again! Thanks for the swap Kris, I promise I’ll be back soon!
Lo <3
Oh goodness, here we go! Hello Kris, I am here for the first of two swaps, and also RvG June and also because this story is hotter than the sun! So let’s get into it!
It might be Freya’s bad luck, but it’s good luck to literally everyone else everywhere that these two are going to be modelling together for this campaign. Although very fair that he might have had something to do with getting on the campaign, but for some reason that makes it hotter!
I love this cat! Especially how when in the hands of someone like Rhys it decides “oh yes, I am going to settle in and purr against this terribly dangerous man because I like him.” What a cat thing to do!
Yup, he definitely made this whole thing happen. I’m kinda interested in why - does he have deep squishy lovey dovey feelings for her? Probably not, knowing you, he’s probably just dumbstruck from how awesome and hot and cool Freya is, but let me live my romantic heart’s dream for a second :P
YESSS!!! Lingerie shoot!
Okay so this shoot is hot AF! It just oozes sexiness and fire and hotness and GOSH! Their conversation during it all is fricken amazing! And the way you described the clothes (well, the lingerie lol) was so beautiful, and the dress that comes with it? Amazing!
And of course the nightclub scene is even hotter, if that’s possible??? I really don’t know what’s happening between them, but I am so here for it! Get too intimate at an international nightclub, hidden in the darkness wooo!
As always, thank you so much for writing this Kris, this story is absolutely phenomenal! I’m loving every chapter! I’ll be right back for part 2 of this swap because I have no self control and I can’t wait for the next chapter! :P
Lo <3
What.a.chapter.
Let me recover, please
The interactions at the beginning were so tense, so cool in a way, the way Freya was battling and handling the situation, and doing a good job, I think. It must've pissed Oliver off so bad. I'm really starting to like Yael. It seemed to me she cares about Freya, the way she tried to hold her back from running to another guy to get her pointless fix.
That constant eyecontact between Oliver and Freya during her dancing was just...damn, so intense!
The moment Freya tensed up because of this guy that approached them I thought it was going to be some ex-lover but it being her dick father made it even worse than I expected. That was so incredibly hurtful and cruel and i guess it builds him as this really powerful and influential figure, otherwise no way in hell would this be ever acceptable ever ever! Also kudos to Oliver for almost standing up to him while everyone else just sat there, saying nothing.
I like that he followed her, and goddamn the desire between them must be pretty consuming. They're messed up and it's probbly pointless to muse on the wrongdoing, like the cheating and the sex as a coping mechanism, because this is how people are, especially when they're hurting.
Descriptions of the Nymph Grove, dear lord, I want to go there, it sounds so mesmerisingly beautiful, how do you come up with these places???
Also, he came to me with sin in his eyes....LOVE!
You called me Oliver - gosh, one sentence, way too much swooning. i'm glad there's a connection, a care, a desire to love but being terrified of it seems like an understatement. Such dark romance, much anticipation for next chapter!
Eli (june rvg)
WHAAAAT? Fiance excuse me but when how what?? I disagree.
The energy of sex between two Veelas is too high for me to coherently comment on. It should've been super cool and it was, I mean, but you got me hooked so badly on the Freya/Oliver infatuation that I completely understand Freya in not being all there, wishing for something else, someone else.
I love your descriptions so much. The feelings but the world. I constantly feel like I'm suspended in between the waking world and then the mad party club society that screws with your mind and makes you see exploding stars and taste the magical drugs they have and it's crazily immersive the way you write this story.
Also a bit disappointed we didn't get the scene with this Rhys, but then again, he's not Oliver so...but now Oliver is smirking again and burning and has a fiance on his arm, and I need to go and read what happens next!
Eli (June rvg)
Nooo, Freya, stay stay staaaay!
I mean, I got exactly what I wanted, right? A chink in the armor, Freya almost unravelling. Agh, so many little things that create the overall crack in who she is and tries to be. But it just leaves me with more questions! When has this happened before? How?? I want to know EVERYTHING.
Also, bringing in the concept of non-consensual Veela charm is chillingly interesting. There's so many things in the HP universe that are quite dark, ranging fromt the veelas to the love potions etc. It adds yet another fascinating layer to this story and Freya's character.
It is almost entrancing, watching the crimson spread over the glass, a poetic metaphor of our wickedly twisted physical fatality.
Loved this line not only because it plays on the story title, but within the scene it was just perfect.
Feeling gutted by the ending. Freya's pain even before they started talking was so sudden and so real it completely floored me. Need.more.now.
Eli (June RvG)
Haha, of course she dumped the cat on Rhys, lol. "It's a communal cat, you're now its daddy, k, thx, bye!"
I love it every time when any kind of story takes us out of Britain for a little bit, into different countries and wizarding socieites. Also, once again, tying the wizarding world with fashion is for me something very new, unique and unexplored. I loved the combination of describing Berlin and fusing it with modelling, it just fits so right.
Reading the photoshoot, I was a bit like...there's nothing that could possibly make this chapter hotter, but then the ending really knocked me out. It was super hot and well written, but I guess I'm a sucker for those truly intimate moments and loved when they had their foreheads pressed together, looked at each other and somehoe knew that, oh damn, there's something special and dangerous and amazing and destructive between us.
I still feel, though, that Freya, even as the narrator, is so closed, hiding a lot of her feelings and thoughts. I'm excited to find out more about her, delve deeper and read about what makes her human, because even though she carries herself like a demon, there's a certain very very vulnerable aspect about her that's mysterious and intriguing.
Eli (June RvG)
By some grand coincidence, I am a bit hungover this morning as well. Not to the same extent as Freya, but it still made the beginning of the chapter so much more relatable. I was going like ouch ouch ouch,
I like the fact thre's a stray but not so stray cat hanging around her apartment and that she lives in Knockturn Alley and has a strange handsome neighbour named Rhys. You're throwing all these little hints and details at me and I want to dwell on every single one.
But then the other part of the chapter rolls around, and first there's all these tempers flaring when Freya meets her mother. Just a bit of dialogue shines a lot of light on the conflict and relationship they both have with each other, and I want to know more about the stance of both. I have a feeling Freya's mom has strong convictions I could possibly identify with, but shaming your daughter instead of reaching out to help or at least pause to try and understand makes me sad.
Oh and then that moment of running into someone you've shared such a darkly passionate night with...that feeling of exhilaration and trepidation, it gave me total butterflies in the stomach. Also love the twist, love love love it. Seems like they can't avoid each other at all! And that smirk at the end...oh Oliver, what are you planning??
Eli (June RvG)
I’ve hurt him. He nods and shakes his head in annoyance. “Aye, maybe you did.” He turns back towards me and I shiver from the intensity of his gaze.
Oh yikes, I'm conflicted. At first I was all like, aagh, Oliver Wood needs to be taught a lesson, he needs to be taken down a peg or three. And then this kind of made me think...oh dear, boy's probably got lots of demons and insecurities as well. Which, you know, inner darkness and all that, I'm always totally here for!
Their sex scene was just wow. Once again this website is taking me to completely new dimensions of what a smutty scene or fic can be. It's graphic but never jarring, it actually reads perfectly, has great rhythm and descriptions, so that's awesome.
Again a cool world building addition when wizards use potions as drugs, which i think should be 100% canon, like their drugs must be craaaaazy. The scene where she's high on it was perfectly written, like her perspective was just as tilted as her mind must've been, and then the coming down...painful.
I feel like this fic feels a bit of a drug too, it's so exhilirating when you're reading it.
Eli (June RvG)
I really liked the first person in this, it totally pulled me into the scene. And gosh, I love wizarding clubs. I don't think I've ever read about so many new thought-up ones than when I joined this site. You guys are really bringing the wizarding world into the modern era with a bang and glitter and deep psychological issues, and I love it. I already like the world or character's world building. So she's a model, did I get that right? And Daphne's the designer, and Oliver obviously a famous Quidditch player. You know, I don't remember if he or Sirius Black were my first crush in the books, but at a brief point it was definitely Oliver and I always imagined him to be this very innocent sweet boy for some reason, but this arrogant edgy version of him I'm super interested in, so bring it on! I love reading about a new twist on the more obscure HP characters.
Your OC is interesting in that slightly self-destructive manic but honest way, I like being in her head where there is no pretending, and her recklessness really makes me want to know more about where this can go. They think it'll be a one night stand? HA! We.will.see!!
Eli (June RvG)
Hey kris!
I'm glad to see an update that I haven't seen yet waiting for me! Freya is such a good OC like I really love the depth that her character has. I like how strong she is in her vulnerability. The way she deals with things when she's hurt isn't great but it just feels so human and realistically. I thought you acted her action to Oliver's bombshell in the form of Octavia so well! Her thoughts about going on the attack straight way and the tense in that scene was really fantastic.
I know she loves the chase so I did enjoy her going after the quidditch rival as a source of comfort perhaps? She obviously knows how to play Oliver anyway! I felt so bad for her when her dad arrives like it feels like there is much baggage to unpack in that scene. I'm baffled by his attitude considering he must have known that her mother was veela before any child they had would have those traits. I guess the relationship between her parents isn't kinda really stated so maybe it was just a random hook up. I love your characterization for him though. The stone cold way that he spoke to Freya and Oliver. The way that he owns a room. It's quite chilling. It feels like there is a lot that could be done with their dynamic.
I kinda wish Freya wouldn't get back with Oliver because they seem bad for each other? or at least she knows about Octivia now or another theory is just the totally lose their mind when they're around each other. I love how much tension that you're always able to pack into your smut scenes. They're always electric in those scenes together which does make me want to really root for them. This story is so addictive! I need more of these two as crazy as they are!

RvG - June
Hello Kris! Here for RvG May (GO RED!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!) and also because dark Oliver Wood is sexy. And I’m not usually one for beards, but I love him.
Oh man, I understand the slept-in-your-makeup feeling. Not a great one. And the headache too. You write waking up after a fun night way too easily.
AW, what a kitty, I love that. She obviously has a soft spot for it, especially given she won’t chase him off the table. You only let your pets run your life if you really really love them <3
Wow, I mean I knew this story was more about the underground, but illegal weapons? Dang, Kris. This girl’s got a lot going on around her!
Ew, men. I never thought about the implications of that, and how men might take that Veela thing and use it against her like that. I mean it’s a really interesting take and definitely would happen, so I commend you for realizing it and writing it, but ew it makes me uncomfy (which is the intended purpose and therefore I applaud you).
I love the names you have for everything! Horizont Alley and The Incendio! They do sound v posh! I’m guessing that she’s used to these sorts of places even if it also seems she’s more at home somewhere like the Hog’s Head or somewhere even more nefarious ;)
I mean, I understand where her mother is coming from, but also feminism includes pursuing a career you want to pursue, no matter what it is. And also I hate her mother.
OLIVER WOOOOOOODDDD!! My heart’s also skipping a beat! I love him!
YES THEY’RE GONNA BE PARTNERS FOR MODELLING OH MY GOSH THE TENSION ALONE WILL BE THE END OF ME!!!
Amazing chapter Kris, from start to finish, thank you so much for writing this story because I am having a wonderful time reading and reviewing!
Lo <3
