Review:
Brian buys and sells unicorns and bicorns for the titled and wealthy. When Bob's stepfather defaults on a debt he owes Brian, he uses Bob as barter to pay the debt off.

This is a good fic, well-written and entertaining. The plot is both fantastical and sweet. Mahoni does a great job of incorporating bisexuality into this historical fic. Brian and Bob are both quite sweet in this. Greta kicks butt in the one scene she’s in. But more than anything else in this story, the house seriously rocks.

All that being said, there’s a bit of an awkwardness to this fic. It’s probably intentional, but the choice of modern language and certain passtimes in a victorian fantasy fic feels a bit forced.
