I’m super enjoying this story and this take on HTPYCL. It’s quite sweet with a selection of steamy scenes, scenes that make you tear up, and scenes that make you want to hold the main character. If you like maids, wholesome relationships, and a strong protagonist you find yourself rooting for, check this one out!

A fanfiction which encourages you to read an original work is a fantastic mark of quality enough on its own, however when the fanworks are on par with the original story it shows the care and skill that goes into this story. Though the experience of reading this first without having any knowledge of the source led to me getting slightly confused at some parts, which honestly made some of the plot beats in ‘How to Pay Your College Loans’ hit that much harder.

I had a lot of good feelings as I was reading this. If you’re looking for a quick resolution (of any variety), this isn’t the thing to read. I really don’t think it was meant for that, though. If you want to become personally connected with the characters, then spend the time to read this one. If you or anyone you know is struggling with “transitioning”, it addresses that… with a very positive outcome. It also does a good job of looking at how a group of people can use “older models” in a very flexible way. It did an especially good job of making connections between different points in the characters’ lives.
