Like a Prayer

Bee Everly has made a habit of chasing the night, but lately the thrill isn't landing the way it used to, and she's struggling to find her footing. At a friend's wedding, she meets someone she absolutely shouldn't (but wishes she had met sooner). It threatens to unravel the lives they've both built.

If you've rebuilt your life around resisting temptation and true connection, what happens when it starts looking like the one thing you can't live without?

Disclaimer: This idea possessed me in the past two weeks while rewatching season 2 of Fleabag for the third time, so consider this story to be heavily inspired by it but mashed up with some Hogwarts Legacy/HP lore.
