    Summary

    She’s always been a greedy thing, after all. Hungry, wanting. Grasping for more than she deserves, especially for things that so rarely come freely. Like the quicksilver joy that flashes through Agatha’s veins when Rio tugs her clothes back into place and lets her hands linger. Or the golden warmth that settles all the way down in her bones like river silt when Rio smiles at her so sweetly that crinkles appear in the corners of her eyes, right before she moves in for a kiss. It settles some of the awful, corrosive anger that lives in Agatha’s chest, the coal seam fire of you will never be good enough to matter that drives her so hard and pushes her so far.

    And at the core of it all is the simple fact that Agatha has never been able to let anything go easy, good or bad or downright ugly though it may be. She leans into every decision she makes like it’s her last, and this is no different. Triumph or failure, Agatha Harkness never does anything by halves.

    If this unnameable, intangible thing with Rio is a cliff, Agatha’s already flung herself well over the edge.

    Agatha and Rio return to Hogwarts for their sixth year and find something new in the old rivalry that lies between them.
