  • No sex actually happens here
  • Prevalent insinuations throughout though

  • lacenet is less explicit but was written with intention so its probably not ignorable either

  Summary

  Raw edge;
  The unfinished or exposed edges of fabric yet to be treated, prone to fraying, harmful to the longevity of a sewing project

  Lace- burdened by sensations she never should have had- finds comfort in repression. Hornet knows better.
