Description:
Ignoring each other like we didn't even exist was easy.

That's the way it's always been.

Until one starry, blood moonlit night changes everything we thought we had ever known.

When what started as a birthday toast quickly turns into a chance to get the idea of each other out of our system, it's clear that nothing good could come from it...

Even if the feeling is nothing but good.

Before we know it we find ourselves fastened together like a stitch of thread on a vintage shirt, holding on for the crude interruption to our well thought out lies.

There's just one thing about lies though, little by little they show their truth.

The rules are simple -don't date your best friend's brother.

But unfortunately...

The stolen stares and the secrets take over everything, making it impossible to think about anyone else.

I think there's been a glitch, one I would ruin myself for.

A million little times.

Opinion:
It's not as thrilling or exhilarating as i thought it was gonna be. The trope is amazing, and i love reading stories where they have to hide their relationship. Buuuut from the very beginning, everything happens so fast. They literally met once and then suddenly they're sleeping with each other. Overall, everything in the story happens really fast. There's no build up, no tension, no character development... which kinda sucks ngl. I don't like slow burns, but I also don't like when everything is wayyyy too rushed. I'm a sucker for amazing character development. It has to be done just right. I would've love to have seen/read when they met and how it went from there.

Trope:
Fuck buddies to lovers

Warning:
The smut is so so tbh. It's not exciting but it's not bad, i guess. I mostly just skipped it, to be honest. I just feel like, at this point, almost EVERY Harry fanfic has the same type of smut in terms of dialogue and foreplay... Idk, I'd like to read something a bit more interesting and different. It can get boring after a while. Or maybe I've just read too many ffs lmao.
