Hello Darlings,

As the Mabon festivities pulse through Dalton’s castle, Query finds herself caught between the electric chaos of the night and the quiet intimacy of a hidden sanctuary. While revelers indulge in debauchery under flickering bonfires, she’s drawn deeper into the orbit of Luster—the enigmatic, radiant senior with secrets woven into poetry and prophecy. A stolen kiss ignites more than just desire; it triggers a searing, unexpected pain that hints at dark magic lurking beneath the surface. But there’s no time to unravel the mystery—because something is stirring in the night, something dangerous. And as the walls tremble and screams slice through the revelry, Query must decide: pursue the truth with Luster or run headlong into the chaos to protect those she loves.

Kisses,

Trixie

Opinion of Melody unchanged! Opinion of Luster? Cratering. The reaction to "Sprig!" should have been a second demon bounding up the stairs, not a "wait". And if she moved Q into a "safe place while a final trial went on" my opinion is subterranean. Gods you write wonderfully compelling and "human" characters!

I'd love to hear more detailed thoughts on Luster. Why is your opinion of her cratering? I'm not saying you're wrong, but it's invaluable to get into the head of the readers.

I relate to Luster. Being pushed into being someone she isn't and hiding a piece of herself that could break her if exploited and finding a person that sees that part of her and appreciates that piece. That easily causes an overwhelming and desperate feeling to keep that person as close as possible, no matter the cost. And is very scary. I guess, in a way, Melody and Luster are a bit similar. Though I'd be entirely wary of Luster due to her being the dean's chosen, there's no way that's a good thing.

What I was going for is that feeling you're talking about where Melody and Luster overlap. That overlap is what Q relates to in them as well. They both have a part of them that they are ashamed of because it makes them different and maybe wrong (in someone else's opinion) and it also makes them desirable/fetishized. Q relates to Melody's transness and Luster's Devilness, which is why the poems could have come from either of them. My hope is that if Melody is sympathetic, even with all her rageful, inner transphobic stuff to process, so is Luster. It's all messy, but so is Q. Let she without mess through the first stone.
