I have never felt heartache the way this scene made me feel.

[dancerwithoutlemons]

*Literally turns venin sacrificing everything because he felt Violet would sacrifice herself, so he'd rather save her than live without her.

Xaden: "don't mistake me for soft or kind"

also Xaden: *has 107 scars on his back for the protection of all the marked ones*

also Xaden: *falls in love with Violet months before she does but keeps his distance because he thinks he's the worst thing possible for her and keeps disregarding his own feelings as he's done his entire life*

also Xaden: *leaves a jar of violets next to Violet's bedside when he has to leave early for a leadership meeting the morning after they first sleep together*

also Xaden: *is repeatedly shown as a competent and caring wingleader who does well by his cadets*

also Xaden: *saves Aaric by dragging him through the closing Archives door even though Aaric hates him*

also Xaden: *immediately jumps into action to help Lynx when his shadows start manifesting, even though Xaden knows this implies his own doomed fate*

also Xaden: *literally leads an entire revolution to protect those who can't protect themselves*

....I could go on

The tears ran before I finished reading those lines.

~Iron Flame Spoilers~

I don't know what makes me want to cry more, that Andarna waited 650 years for Violet, or that she makes her scales black cause she wants to be like Tairn

I keep thinking about this… it has to make a difference that Xaden didn’t turn for power, but for love. The venin don’t know love but hunger for power, yet Xaden’s never wanted power and his only reason for turning is love. Also, Onyx Storm spoilers, but the way he went extra venin anytime someone just breathed Violet’s way… call me delusional, but I feel like this is going to matter in the future books!

“The hottest thing a man can be is a little afraid of me”

- a quote by Mira Sorrengail, Imogen Cardulo and Sgaeyl

[dancerwithoutlemons]

The fact that Violet got fucked (literally), betrayed by her boyfriend, heartbroken over losing her friend, betrayed by her dragons, hurt AND poisoned all in the same day is wild. You guys complain she’s “annoying” but I think she’s not half as annoying as she could have been. Matter of fact she should’ve set Riorson House on fire as soon as she woke up and saw HER BROTHER was fucking alive. She took it too well all things considered

How I imagine Sgaeyl was during Vi's threshing.

Sgaeyl: my love I think you need to come check out this cadet. She's ballsy and perfect for you.

Tairn: I wasn't planning on bonding again.

Sgaeyl: no seriously I think you need this rider. Plus my human gets all weird around her and I want to mess with him.

Tairn: Sgaeyl I'm not going to bond a rider just to mess with your moody teenager.

Sgaeyl: OK but Andarna is in danger and this tiny girl is fending her off alone while injured.

Tairn: ....I'm on my way.
