It’s feeling like Alizeh is Mary Sue levels of fine. Cyrus reminds me of that SpongeBob weenie hut juniors episode where Patrick kicked his own butt. Why is this man’s organs failing because she’s pretty??? 😂🙄

“Alizeh entered the hall and Cyrus nearly made a sound, something rough and desperate. He did his best to don a neutral aspect, but as she drew forward he lost control of his defenses; he was losing the strength even to stand.

i guess 🙄😂

a very unserious book indeed

This story is full of foolishness. If Alizeh were to kiss Cyrus, he might seriously in-universe die. just looking her at him had him raving like a lunatic

A lot of tension between these two. She’s almost thirty, but he’s still a professor.

This story is out of pocket for real, but it is entertaininggg
