A little surprise in celebration of Vincenzo’s birthday 🎉
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
In February of 2023, I started writing a little Vincenzo fanfic, just to see if I could. It has since turned into a 22k story, written over many late evenings and put through several revisions. It was an experience that resulted in much personal reflection and learning. After 20 months, I am finally ready to share it.
At the link above you will find a self-indulgent, pre-canon Vincenzo x Reader fic, borne mostly out of, shall we say, fangirl energy. It is intended for those who, like myself, find respite/thrill/joy in the imagined company of a certain Gatto Sazio.
Thank you to those in the fandom who create such a positive environment, and who consistently encourage engagement with this amazing show. I owe this in part to you as well. Grazie / 감사합니다.
Disclaimer: In no way is Reader meant to replace the one and only Hong Cha-young; the author cherishes her as much as any of us do (except Vinny, obviously). Consider this simply an easy way to temporarily insert oneself into his world.
(Also, to Luca fans: yes, he does appear in this. I couldn’t not put him in.)
