Sonata redemption stories can be a tough sell for me, but I can get behind this one. Finding her hidden depths through fresh eyes is a good approach, and I can definitely believe this instance of Thunderlane having both this attitude and this social circle. In all, fine work making Taco Fish feel like a person beyond the usual jokes. Thank you for it.
(Also, lovely bit of cleverness with the title.)

Writing is weird.
Very cute. Would love to see a sequel showing married life and kids if possible.
Aw, that's a sweet story!
