Don’t be so vain to think that you ruined me, that you wrecked me, destroyed me. I am the only one who has the power to do that. I loved you, and I ruined myself, I wrecked myself, I destroyed myself. And I will keep doing so for as long as I am breathing.

There’s a reason, of course, why the first rule of Fight Club is not to talk about Fight Club. It’s that the lurid core of our imaginative lives is best kept secret. When you see your dark fantasies realized in the light of day, there’s something absurd about them. And there’s something shameful, too: it becomes obvious that they’re rooted, to some degree, in narcissism. To be the victim of a manipulative madwoman, or to be abducted into a Gothic lair, is to suffer, but it’s also to be special, a hero or a heroine in your own way.

To the anonymous who thinks Clemence and Pickett won't end up together: CLICKETT4LYF. Amirite or amirite?

This ship unfortunately doesn’t have any in-story equivalent for you to rally around. Team Pickett-is-not-a-hussy, perhaps? Now, colors, go go go!

I really really want to know how you plan to shape up Clemence and Pickett's relationship. As weird as it is, I've started to ship them even though I KNOW the chances of them ending up together are slim to non existent. Halpppppp.

I am enjoying this ‘everyone thinks their ship is doomed’-ness.

Most interesting to me, as I was writing, is how holding on vs. letting go holds a difference significance to each character. Clemence thinks Albus is a coward for holding on to his relationships too tightly, while she herself is a coward for not holding onto her relationships, and then there’s supposed-to-be-dependable Pickett calling her bluff. Mull on that.

loved the chapter! but i'm a bit confused on how the clemence-pickett """thing""" will play out.. did the ending of the chap settled it? (personally i can't see them together, sorry :( but based on your posts i can sense they're your guilty pleasure lmao) also, contrary to the previous ask, i am so ready to see ALBUS cry like yas clemence fuck him up. but at the same time i want them to be end game.. after they both fuck each other up.... i'm confused. congrats on posting tho! xo

“““thing”““ <— I love how many quotes are required for this.

Clemence never leaves anything settled! Ambiguity is how this story is still going. At this rate, I think the most likely outcome is that she ends up all alone with seven cats.

I’d be fascinated by the inconsistency of what you want if Clemence weren’t far worse :’D And you know me: always down for my characters suffering.
