COMPLETE. M&MWP, Maydayverse. No matter what, they would be together. They were always going to be together. *200 short, non-linear drabbles for Victoire and Neville, on love, life, and looking behind them before they look down the road.* [Potter–Weasley family fluff, Longbottom family fluff, and Neville- and Victoire-appreciation.] Mention if used, thx. *cover art by me*

"And…I'm jealous of how you never have to style your hair because it always bounces right into place. And I'm so amazed when you walk by and enthrall people—I know the Veela in us doesn't work, but it's as if it doesn't matter with you because you have such presence. And I envy your friendship, because I don't think you'd ever betray Maria and she wouldn't do that to you. And I like that you're not a total know-it-all for being a Ravenclaw; you've too much common sense to be just a bookish chit."

Victoire was amused by her sister's words. "Jeez, Dominique. Anything else you want to confess?"

"And…you're my role model, sis. I love you."

Dominique hugged her as she said, "Oh, Dom… I love you, too…but I'm no role model."

Dominique only agreed when Victoire left her behind at home three years later, when she put Hogwarts—and her family—behind her.
