#The Fiery Heart

[mylifeisjustafeverdream]

Me reading the beginning of TFH: Oh wow Adrian's Spirit darkness is the first time somebody's properly articulated what depression is like for me. That's cool I was getting worried something was wrong with me.

Me reading chapter 11:

*Adrian's Bipolar Diagnosis*

"Centrum permanebit," I said firmly. "Say it three times, and face toward us, but make sure you've got some distance. If someone catches you and interrupts, the spell will backfire."

"I can't! I can't leave you. We'll find a different way."

"No, we won't." I could feel myself tiring, and my foot ached even more. If Eddie found out, I knew he'd try to carry me, and it'd only make things worse. "This is our chance. There are too many, but we can take them out in one blow. Please, Eddie. You said you're my friend. I'm your friend. Trust me. I know what I'm doing."

Another gunshot, and dirt kicked up only a foot away where the bullet struck the earth. "I'll go over there," Eddie said, gesturing with Hopper. "You go left. None of them seem to be there. If you try to draw their attention they won't have time to get to you before I cast the spell... right?"

"Right." I squeezed his hand and had to try not to choke up. "You can do this. And remember, I'm your friend."

These two. I swear.

Adrian retaining the things that Sydney says is so good. Just... she went on an hour long lecture about evolution and Adrian was able to retain that trivia to his project partner later on. I love it.

i'm onky about halfway through my reread of the fiery heart but i have to say. thinking about neil's situation again is like. damn dude. i feel so bad for him. he falls in love with this girl who can never be turned strigoi again. he gets a tattoo that makes it so he can never be turned strigoi. they're happy. they're in love. they get intimate.

she gets pregnant.

it's impossible, but it happens. something in her is changed because of her transformation back into a dhampir, and despite both of them being dhampirs, she gets pregnant

and then she runs.

because this is impossible. it can't happen. but it did.

so she runs. from her sisters dreams, from all of it. she runs from him. for him. for their child, too.

she's attacked while giving birth, and she dies having never gotten to see neil again. she loved him. he loved her. her body is dissolved and he will never get to see her again, and there will be no grave that he can visit. she's gone.

the child lives.

but the child shouldn't be alive, and it shouldn't be possible, and it lives.

and no one can ever know that neil is its father.

neil can never be around his own child, the last remaining piece he has of the woman he loved. for her. for their child.

she ran so no one would know that the impossible happened and so that her child could maybe, possibly, have a normal life as a dhampir, rather than being experimented on and researched.

he has to run, too. so no one ever makes the connection, and sees how similar he looks to his child. so it can live a normal life.

he has to make do, watching another couple raise his child. they send him pictures, and give him updates. he watches his child grow from afar. he does it out of love.

they name the child.

his middle name is his father's.

i think i'm more fucked up over neil's story than i've ever been before and i'm only at the very beginning of it and i'm crying

[I made a reservation at the restaurant of love. Where they only have tables for two. Instead of taking my order, the waiter gave me a kiss. Instead of food, I ate perfume. The love restaurant failed its recent health inspection. Because the kitchen is infested with rats. I'm not talking love rats; these are regular rats. And they're biting all the customers and staff. I got food poisoning at the love restaurant. Pretty sure it was caused by the rats. I posted a one-heart review on Yelp.com/love. Then the business owner contacted me privately. He said, 'Why'd you give my restaurant a one-heart review?' I said, 'Because it was full of rats.' He said, 'This is a small business, and this review could ruin me.' He cried over the phone and said he was trying his best.]

“To see the years touch ye gives me joy, Sassenach,” he whispered, “—for it means that ye live.” He lifted his hand and let my hair fall slowly from his fingers, brushing my face, skimming my lips, floating soft and heavy on my neck and shoulders, lying like feathers at the tops of my breasts. “Mo nighean donn,” he whispered, “mo chridhe. My brown lass, my heart.” “Come to me. Cover me. Shelter me, a bhean, heal me. Burn with me, as I burn for you.”

Eddie won’t leave me, I thought frantically. He’ll never leave me. They want me, but they don’t care about him. He can live or die, and it won’t matter to them. But if he’s what’s keeping them away, they’ll shoot him and destroy his body. “Eddie,” I said, panting. “We need to split up.” “Never.” That answer wasn’t a surprise. What was a surprise was that out of all the things rattling around in my mind, Abe Mazur’s words popped up in the forefront: Don’t think for an instant that I wouldn’t do terrible, unspeakable things if it could save someone I love. Because it was Abe, I’d naturally assumed he was talking about doing terrible, unspeakable things to other people. But as Eddie and I held on to each other, the words took on a whole different meaning. In that moment, I knew I would do anything to save Eddie—my friend—whom I loved. Even if it meant doing something terrible and unspeakable to myself.

"What are you doing here?" demanded Eddie.

"Saving your ass," said Angeline. "I knew there was something going on."

"I'm not talking to you," he snapped. He threw down the stake and strode past her, toward the entrance of the alley. I followed with my eyes and saw a tall, slim figure standing there, her hair glowing in the light of an overhead lamp. Jill. I remembered the water on the ground turning to mist, and it all made sense.

"You have no right being here!" exclaimed Eddie, coming to a halt in front of her. It was one of the few times I'd ever seen him angry. I'd certainly never seen him angry at her. He cast a glare back at Angeline before returning to Jill. "They shouldn't have brought you."

"I have every right to be here," she retorted. "When Angeline finally convinced us, I knew we had to help. And we did."

Eddie was undaunted. "I don't care what they do. If they want to endanger their lives, so be it. But a princess of her people has no business putting herself in danger."

"A princess of her people has no business sitting off to the side while said people are in danger," Jill returned.

"Do you have any idea what could have happened if--"

"Oh, shut up," she said, reaching for him. He flinched in surprise, but one she started kissing him, the tension left his body. I shook my head and looked away.

"Oh, man," I said to no one in particular. "This night is just full of surprises."

Jill: I know what your doing. It's mean. How will I ever have a healthy relationship? Adrian: By being with someone else.

I love these two.
