I will be sad if Crimes of Passion 3 is a wedding book. For one thing, they've been together all of five minutes. But mostly, this book should be about solving Jimmy's murder. That's the cornerstone of MC's character. It should be the core of the last book of the trilogy.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be couple moments. I'm really looking forward to those. But let it be moments that feel authentic to this stage of their relationship. How do we handle the press? Your apartment or mine? Is it too soon to give you a key?
Jumping straight to marriage feels like a disservice on so many levels.

Lost Brother: Vasili Thorne
I read that in Crimes of Passion 2 and couldn't help but picture the deliciously diabolic scene in my mind. I couldn't believe Pixelberry denied us art. That was a crime! So I commissioned the lovely and super-talented @oh-so-youre-a-nerd to help restore justice to the land... well, fandom, lol Here is the evil brother... and that's saying a lot in the Thorne family! Thank you for bringing this to life, Thia! You're the best!

Every CoP2 chapter is like
Trystan: I'm incredibly horny
MC: good
The fucking queen yet again, appearing out of nowhere: Trystan I am now forcing you to leave for the better half of this chapter
MC + all of us: this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me
Some rando: hello, I'm Thorne sibling #417318461876 and here's the most insane thing you've heard in your entire life so far
MC: getting real murder vibes from these people
Trystan: I'm back and still horny but in a tired way now
MC: Trystan your siblings are insane I think they all murdered people
Trystan: yeah that tracks
Thorne sibling #417318461876: i will now act like a serial killer for the entire duration of this interrogation. btw, here's a cliffhanger
Marguerite: *making something ugly for us to wear*
