OP here. Jesus christ, I don't even know how to thank you for this. I wish I could give you 1000 kudos. This is everything I wanted and more. The writing is fantastic, and you captured Credence's pain and Graves anger so well. Your OC's were really well written, and I liked the details such as Credence's ring being used for protection. My favorite part was when Graves just gets unhinged and starts throwing the Unforgivables around, and I liked how that juxtaposed Credence's view of Graves as his gentle husband. That made Graves treatment of Whillum at the even more poignant. BLESS YOU!
