A mansion in the rain is less than amicable to outsiders. But arguably, the owner of said mansion decides who is and who isn't an outsider.

And even natural socialites could do with selective solitude from time to time.

"Selective" and "complete" aren't the same, though.

Thanks to Flashgen and Wanderer D for their help.

Further thanks to Rebekah Harkness, Taylor Swift, best boy and best girl.

Also to the wise fimfic user who once said:

Absolutely lovely, but now you owe Silverstream a happy fluff fic to make up for all the trauma you've caused.

Enjoy, Jack.
