I read this story more or less as Crystal was posting it, what with her being sort of a protege of mine. (It was I who convinced her to get an account, among other things.) I don't recall what all I said to her about it, but I seem to recall that I rated it 8/10, so it looks like we're on the same page.

If you've read some of Crystal's other stories, or if you know her, you know that dark romance is her thing. As for AN being a ripoff of LAL, Crystal herself once told Gigi something to the effect that AN "is a lot like LAL, except that [LAL] is extremely better written."
