    Summary

    As a sheltered young woman under the "protection" of your overbearing mother, the borders of your world have never stretched beyond the family songbird shop and the organ bench at church. But when your congregation joins other moral reformers in protesting against the Impera Lounge, a den of vice that flouts the law and mocks the city of Meliora’s faithful, you begin to see what you’ve been missing. Copia Emeritus, the Impera's notorious headliner, steps in to keep your name out of the papers, and what begins as gratitude soon blossoms into a forbidden affair... but when his mother dies, and yours shows her true colors, it seems like the two of you have no choice but to part. Now, on New Year’s Eve, 1927, you seek him out again... anxious for one last taste of freedom, for one more brush with sin, for a final chance to decide whether love represents salvation or damnation.

    (1920s Copia x Reader AU, based on Reader #3 from my series All Else Are Castles Built in the Air.)
