Hey Kapa! :)

 

I really enjoyed reading this! It's exceedingly rare to see depictions of older lesbians pretty much across the board, in mainstream media but also in fanfiction, so that was quite a pleasent surprise.

 

I really liked Wilhelmina. I think it was quite smart to start off with the scene where she helped the unicorn deliver her foals, then rushed off with the weaker one to make sure it made it through the night. That establishes her right off the bat as someone kind, helpful and caring, and also good at her job, which makes her instantly likeable. I loved how confident she was in her sexuality, that was also really refreshing.

 

I'm impressed by the thought that went into the unicorns in this story. I think the idea that there would be gay unicorns whose horns go leftwards is so funny and clever. Does that mean that female unicorns whose horns go rightwards are all lesbians? I hope so hahaha.

 

I really liked Irma Pince as the love interest, it was really cool to see her portrayed as someone who was romantically and sexually desireable. In the books she's definitely portrayed as someone kind of horrible and DEFINITELY not disireable - sort of an unattractive and mean old maid. I appreciated seeing her in a different light :) And I really appreciated that you had Will explicitly appreciate her old body and find it attractive the way it was (even more attractive than she would've found a young body).

 

Great work on this! It was a refreshing read and I loved the descriptions of the unicorns :D
