I really think it is impossible at this point for Viano Oniomoh to write something that I won't love. This was so perfect. I haven't seen very many aro/ace stories or queerplatonic stories. This just made me so happy. And it's a Beauty And The Beast retelling without being problematic, and it's queer? Yes, please! Eru and Esioghene's story was so sweet and beautiful. This story is short, but it's full of so much emotion, and Viano manages to provide believable character and relationship development along the way. I fell in love with everything about this story so quickly and easily. I'm beginning to think Viano is a witch and just can't write horrible stories. I love this story so much, and I love Viano for creating it.
