@stephanieburgis They're truly excellent, imo, and your work def has some similarities.

It's funny; my pipeline was:

1. "Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Beiing in Love" by Brigitte Knightley

2. When searching for similar books, I came across the Villains and Virtues.

3. Then I wanted books similar to Villains and Virtues, which is how I found Wooing the Witch Queen.
