Hi there! I'm here again for the winter wonderland event.

 

This was such an interesting story. I know that you probably intended for it to be funny, and don't get me wrong; it is. I mean, they're talking a walk to walk on their lung capacity? And Percy tells her she has nice lungs while staring at her chest? I almost laughed out loud mid-lecture. My favourite scene, humour-wise, was when they went into the gym in the Room of Requirement, and Oliver got distracted and started to evaluate his body through quizzes targeted probably at woman to make them feel self-conscious about their bodies.

 

Whuch brings me to my next point. While this story was funny any all, I love that you touched upon men being insecure about their bodies. Yes, women are subjected to all sorts of unrealistic expectations, but we often forget that so do men. They're not as immune as we think (and even as they'd like to think they) are. 

 

Another nice touch was ou explaining all sorts of things that made Percy attracted to Penelope. It was just adorable. And the fact that the proof of the sincerity of his emotions was that he'd like to take her meet his mum. Typical Percy.

 

Overall, I liked every little thing about this story. So very well done with all of it! 

 

 

Author's Response:

Ah! This is one of my hidden gems. No one ever reads this story so it's always a nice surprise to get a review. :D It is supposed to be funny but it's also supposed to show men do have insecurities but they know how to embrace it! It was also inspired by that song from LMFAO "I'm Sexy and I Know It" between you and I, I don't think those guys are sexy at all but they do and they rock their confidence! Them rocking their confidence made them hundreds of thousands (or millions) of dollars! So go them! I'm so glad you enjoyed this little story of mine. Thanks so much for the wonderful review.
