Chapter: Chapter Thirteen | Story: The After Before

Hey, I'm a big fan of this story so far. I would only suggest that you include a slightly more specific trigger warning at the beginning of this chapter.

I've just changed it!! Thanks so much for bringing that to my attention

You are an absolutely amazing writer and an absolutely amazing person. I think it is important for these sort of things, including any kind of violence,to get recognised. There are so many women out there who are embarrassed because these things have happened to them and suffer in silence and because of that I think it's important to talk about it. Women are strong, women are beautiful and women are amazing. We should never forget it. 
I love the story so far. It is amazing.

Hi there! 
I just wanted to say how much I love this story, and I don't usually write many reviews, but I thought I should mention that I really appreciate your Author's Note at the end of the chapter.

I've seen lot of fanfiction writers use such scenes where the female protagonist is being forced into non-consensual sex by someone she knows and the guy she thinks she "hates" comes and saves her, which are typically just to drive the plot. But I feel no one till date has actually addressed the issue as an author and justified their usage of it. Its actually really great of you to acknowledge it as a triggering issue which a lot of people fail to do.

Other than that I love how this story is written, and I'm really into Shakespeare too. Can't wait to read ahead!

This chapter, like most chapters in your story, is beautifully written. I just want to say I really appreciate the detail in your imagery and description, which make for a remarkably refreshing read and allow for the reader to really develop a connection with Nellie. I completely support you in writing about sexual assault. I am also from the States, and have friends and family who've faced such situations. Your description of Nellie's emotions truly captures their experience. Thank you

Wow - this review got buried under others but I still want to respond to it! Thank you so much for your kind words and for understanding why I wrote it. Especially where the world is currently, it seemed necessary to bring it up. Thank you so much for reviewing and I hope you'll keep up with the rest of the story.

Wow. The way you write is so profound, especially on this topic. This is by far one of the most advanced stories I’ve read on here, and I can tell it’ll be getting more intricate. Thank you for your amazing writing.

Wow, that definitely struck a chord! Very well written, including your AN and Ameera's review said it all. 

I notice a trend in Nell to be submissive and always blame herself, not just with this assault by Flint, but even when James "assaults" her emotions. It probably stems from the rigid pure blood upbringing. Clearly with Adam at least, there's a history of abuse. It always hits a nerve with me when I read about the abuse young Sirius Black experienced. Fortunately he had a James Potter to help him escape that abusive life. Hopefully Nell will have her own James Potter to help her and hopefully their story won't be tragic like that of Sirius and his James. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Hi, thank you for posting this chapter and more importantly thank you for addressing such subjects. 
As someone who attends university too and who tries to follow what happens in the world (I couldn't help but note the parallel maybe to Brett Kavanaugh and Dr.Ford ?) , that is so important because as you've said so many women and other genders too experience that and more often than not, there's alcohol and ill intentions involved and it's someone you know. 
It's frustrating and so unfair that I'm sure Flint will still walk around carefree in the same school as Nellie because few things are done as usual and no one should ever think that it is acceptable to do so in the first place and even worse, that there are no consequences . 
Nellie is a strong female character and that's refreshing, and thankfully she has great people surrounding her and supporting/believing her . 
Hopefully things will improve for our world and generation and thank you again for such a refreshing, enlightening, well-written story !!
