It wasn't often anyone was able to get the drop on the very clever and witty Jacob Frye for any reason- especially in matters concerning poking fun at another or teasing. His quick tongue usually allowed him to easily befuddle and scathe others with his remarks, and seemingly always with that nonchalant, carefree smirk grazing his lips. When it came to the game of quick wits and clever remarks- one could always count on Mr. Frye to have some smart-arsed remark on any and all matters- as was his talent.

However it would seem- there is another in the swirling masses of London that perhaps has a sharper tongue than he- a woman who seems to be even more fond of making fun and involving herself in mischief than Jacob is himself- and whose propensity for such activities seems to bring much more danger than anyone would assume simple merrymaking would entail- dangers all too close to home. And a woman who he simply cannot understand.

(Jacob X Reader)

Hello! I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself and list a few quick tips you may need when reading- especially if you're new to these sorts of stories and the shorthand that comes with them!

First off, EnergyMageFrea here! This is my first ReaderXCannon story, so please bare with me! I have written little for this sort of story, so I'm learning as I go.

Though I am new to this particular type of story telling, I have been writing for some time now- though I am no expert. If you're interested in any more of my works, feel free to peak at my Profile Page!

AS A NOTE:

This story is something for me to pass the time with and keep myself busy when I'm not really 'feeling it' when trying to write for my other, more serious stories. This story is written for my own amusement, and will be updated when I feel like writing more for it- but because I hate to keep it locked up and only visible for myself, I am sharing what I jot down with all of you! :D This story will by no means take precedence over my other more serious Fanfics, so it isn't going to be updated too regularly. Sorry~ But thought I'd let you all know!

.:+:.

Now on to what you should expect in the story! :

CannonXReader stories are written in the Reader (yes! You!) POV, but I myself will switch between the different POV's of the characters involved every so often for purposes of telling the story in the most interesting way possible!

As the Reader, this story is meant to emerse yourself into the World of AC and allow you freedom to choose your character and features- to feel more like you're actually in the story. Since everybody is different, parts of the story are 'fill-in-the-blank', where you fill in the detail you'd like!

Reference to the ShortHand I Use- and their meanings! :

(F/N)- First Name
(L/N)- Last Name
(E/C)- Eye Color
(H/L)- Hair Length
(H/C)- Hair Color
(F/I)- First Initial (Of your first name)

~ These are the basic shorthand you will see most often through the story, others may appear- but if you cannot at least guess what they represent, I will make sure to add in a footnote at the bottom of that particular chapter!

Basically, that's it! Hopefully this little refresher will help you understand and enjoy the story more fully!

I do appreciate your time taken to read my work, and will very much appreciate any feedback you give me! Thank you, and please enjoy!
