Okay, confession, this is one of my personal favorites--it was so much fun to write, and sometimes I indulge myself by rereading it just for kicks! (And then adjust my Spotify playlist accordingly, because the music is A Mood.) You've picked out so many of the things I still love about it. If I've managed to warm you up toward Varvara, I'm more pleased than I can say!
Thank you for this lovely, detailed response on so many levels! It means a lot to me.
Sex scenes are not my usual wheelhouse TBH they aren't mine, either, but when I figured out I could use one as actual plot resolution, I couldn't resist.
I'm having trouble, now, remembering what I knew about Mellenby's timeline before writing this, and what precisely is or isn't canon. Can I ask--and if you don't have time to answer or think of specifics, that's more than understandable--what you found confusing about it? If it's something I can clear up easily for future readers, I'd love to do that.
