Awww yayyy!!! My favorite girls and some of my favorite tropes: alcohol and pretend relationships (albeit brief)! I love the way you describe the setting and paint such a vivid picture of wizarding club culture: the Apparition point, the glittery wrist stamp, the anonymity spell! And so many of the other little details had me squeeing, like Luna being all lgbtq culture-savvy and Ginny hanging out with Gabrielle (as friends? as more? I don't care but I like the idea sooo much!), and Healing and Arithmancy. The descriptions of Pansy were the best, I can totally imagine that Chesire cat grin and loud laugh <33 Yayy post-kiss bonding over drinks and returning to the mentioned thighs! <3 Thanks for this total fangirl happiness!

Ahhhh, I'm so so glad :D

Ginny hanging out with Gabrielle (as friends? as more? I don't care but I like the idea sooo much!)
Sameeeee, I LOVE Gabrielle/Ginny!!! So much potential to this pairing, whether as friends or more.

Grinning at your comment so much, I'm really happy you enjoyed this :')

‘It’s also a good thing to hold onto while you’re fucking.’ Love that line! I really like the idea of Pansy dressing up so stockings are so her in my mind. Your setting is lovely with the glittery stamp (which I bet is so hard to get off lol) and the anonymity spell (brilliant really and what a fun idea for a fic). Can't wait to see who you are MA and see if you've written any more femslash :D

Oh, same. I love high femme!Pansy. I also really love stockings :'D
You know, I almost put in something in there about Ginny wondering if the glittery stamp would come off easily, haaha :D I eventually redacted it so I could get to Ginny meeting Pansy quicker since it's a short, but yeah, I'm amused you remarked on it!!
Glad you liked the anonymity bit! I like when there are references in fanfic, even subtle, to what it can entail to be outside of the heteronorm and how the characters navigate it. Also like reading about how characters are impacted by their ~celebrity post-War, etc... I just like a bit of plausible context when it's not PWP or AU, I guess? Anyway, thank you <3
I did write a little bit more femslash, but you might have read it already? Not sure it's v easily found bec some of it is gone from Ao3... Not sure it's very good either because most of it is quite old, idk.
Thank you again for your lovely comment :) Happy you liked this!

Oh, the thighs. THE THIGHS! I liked the whole atmosphere of this, MA. Good job!

[nearlyconscious]

Thank you very much :D

Oo this was great! I’m usually weary of first person POV, but I quite liked it here. It really helped set the atmosphere of the piece. The dynamic between Pansy and Ginny was just delightful, too.

You know, me too actually! I started writing this differently, but it didn't really work for me: as you say, it helped setting the atmosphere to write it like this.
Thank you very much, glad you liked it!

This was so good. I really liked the banter between the two of them and Ginny realising she actually wanted another kiss. You can see them having becoming a couple and still having all that snark there. Thank you MA.

Thank you very much :D
