EDIT 16/4/20: quarantine gave me time to reread this lol. cs pacat's gratuitous preferences are more clear now - the (overly) 'clever' (sometimes complicated/convoluted) narration, the idealizing of laurent, the preference for kinky stuff (power dynamics disguised as slavery/debauchery)... anyway, i have a much greater appreciation of both laurent and damen as characters, and their relationships. i also came from banana fish.
