Mallory returns to Nevermore Academy - not as a student, but as an art teacher. The halls are familiar, yet filled with shadows and memories she can't ignore. As she navigates teaching and monthly transformations into her werewolf-self, a certain redheaded colleague won't leave her head. Mallory discovers that coming back might change everything... including herself. [ A wlw slowburn with Miss Capri x fem!OC]

COMPLETE There was something innately intimate about music-the way it left one's soul bare, revealed all imperfections, all insecurities. It was trust in its highest form, allowing the listener to chip a piece off the performer's heart and judge it in its entirety. And it was intrusive-perhaps that was why Victoria played, but did not feel. At least not until Isadora Capri came along and seized her heart: slowly, at first, and then all at once. Private lessons. Late night talks. Devotion. Passion. Feeling. Con anima, a niente-with feeling, to nothing. *** Important to note that I do not support teacher/student relationships in real life. Obviously the main character is of age though. Lots of musical terminology-might need a dictionary for this one, although most of it is explained through writing and context clues! Happy reading :)
