I... OH GOD THIS WAS SO BLOODY FABULOUS! Unusual, witty, well-characterised, excellently-paced and so interrrrresting! I've noticed a recent outburst of Rabastan love in fandom and this was one of the best examples. I thoroughly enjoyed all the little bits that go toward explaining Pureblood notions and Arachnia was a hoot and a half. Rabastan and Poppy's last conversation was particularly good to read. I re-read three times, myself. Am no fan of incest, EVER, but thank you for writing incest as having a serious rationale behind it. No one can satisfy a Black like a Black is so much siriusserious win! Thank you for writing this, whoever you are. Am going to rec this on my LJ.
