Gah, this hits my infidelity kink sooo hard. I love how much you reveal about their characters in the details about the kitchen, Pansy's hair, their knickers - of course Hermione would wear huge Mrs Weasley pants - and the facade Hermione is trying to maintain. I just love the ending with Ron pointing to her face (because Pansy's not going to tell her) and not suspecting anything. Plus the introductory paragraphs abut the party are beautifully observed that I can almost see the ironic dancing and hear the tedious conversations about work. Gorgeous! Thanks so much for this fabulous present :-D

:D Yay! I'm so pleased you like it - especially the little details. The devil is in them!

Plus the introductory paragraphs abut the party are beautifully observed

The party was strongly based on my parents' parties. ;)

holy hell hon, this is amazing!!! this is why infidelity fics are so delicious, when it's frantic and desperate and wrong and right now. i love your use of language and descriptions - absolutely lush and sensual. i love the contrast between the two of them - pansy, so blatant, wearing her sexuality right next to her skin; hermione, so proper, ever the performer - and the sex was hot as hell.

this really knocked me dead:

Pansy stood unmoving, deliberately provocative in all senses of the word: breasts revealed, dress pulled up, still flushed with orgasm. Staring her in the face. Making her point.

Hermione could barely look at her. When had it gone this far?

amazing! fabulous work, hon!

:DDD Thank you so much! I was so worried about the sex! *breathes out*

I may be discovering an infidelity kink of my own.

Wow, great story. I loved the party description. Hermione would be the one person actually very pleased to give a dreary party like that.
And the contrast between her and Pansy - lovely.

[lokifan]

Thank you! Hermione's party was based on the ones my parents have - make what you will of that! ;)

*facepalm* How much do I fail for not responding to my emails? :(

♥ This is still smoking hot no matter how much I fail at life. I love how Pansy is unyielding in the way she handles Hermione and Hermione is caught up in this facade of what she thinks life should be. Plus the image of Pansy standing there, just fucked, staring Hermione down? Gets me every time.

[lokifan]

Aww, no sadface! You don't fail at all, I've just been trying to finish this for ages and had a spasm of childish OMGIWANTTOPOST.

Yay! I'm so pleased you like it. I feel sort of weirdly insecure about this one, so that's LOVELY to hear.

Oh, wonderful.
Searingly hot and beautifully written. Your similes are really very poetic; I especially liked "she gave one slight, breathless cry, breaking like the sea over harsh rocks."
Really, this is just lovely.

Thank you very much! I love similes so hard.
