A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

[tangerinecherrygal]

Should I start writing fanfic?

I’m not sure what I should write on. I’m interested in dragon age, yellowjackets, a thousand pieces of you (firebird trilogy) even arcane/ league of legends.

Also acotar series rewrites and stuff.

My November Reading Summary

Overall mood: jittery. I have been busy this month which has meant I have had to separate myself from my reading stack in my room. Jokes aside, the first half of November was full of work, uni seminars, networking events and family celebrations, and as such I haven’t read as much as I maybe anticipated. I know this sounds hypocritical after my reading crunch post where I said I wasn’t thinking…

Did I start a reread of the Firebird series so I could feel the excitement and happiness that is Marguerite Caine and Paul Markov???

Yes, yes I did.

Soooooooo I’m bored. It’s Saturday. And this blog exists. So, I am now going to take a moment for my favorite subject and recommend some books like an off base Book Tok.

Theme: Dimension Travel

1. For all the Sci-fi romance lovers out there I present to you A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray! 🙌🙌🙌

It’s got action, romance, murder across time and space! As the first in the Firebird trilogy it sets a lot of things up but if you’re like me and didn’t realize it was a trilogy for a solid year, then it works great as a stand alone as well!

“Are you sure you are entirely well, my lady?” Paul — Lieutenant Markov—walks a few respectful steps behind me. “Quite well, thank you, Markov.” Actually I’m about five seconds from losing it completely, but let’s just keep walking okay?

2. Now, while the first of this list is very romantic this one might work better for those who prefer the details and mystery of dimension travel over a love story. I present to you, The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman!

With Dragons, Fae and an alternate version of Sherlock Holmes on the case, follow me into the world where the steampunk aesthetic rules and Librarians are more powerful than you might think! Also, robotic Crocodiles!

Irene put the book down again for a moment and opened the envelope. Thoughts of letter bombs came a few second too late. With a sigh, she shook the letter gently onto the desk. No bombs. Good.

3. Now this one is a romance all the way through, little to no spice, but enjoyable all the same. One I’ve read too many times to count over my childhood, I give you Two Summers by Aimee Friedman!

Follow 17 year old Summer as a single decision splits her universe in half, whether to go the France and visit her Dad or stay with her mother and study photography with her aunt. In Paris she finds first love, a family secret, and a whole new world far from her suburban existence. While at home she finds romance, artistic passion, and a life changing family secret. Which was the better choice?

I don’t answer the call. I hit a button to silence the buzzing, and stuff my phone in the pocket of my hoodie. Then I stride forward, boarding pass extended.

sanji's first days in the crew

[messymindpalace]

this is exactly how i feel about the Firebird and Winner's Curse trilogy.

a few souls here and there but basically no edits whatsoever

You guys have no idea how frustrating it is to read a series that has literally no fandom whatsoever. I cannot be allowed to deal with these feelings alone but there is NOTHING I tell you NOTHING

** the last two options exist because I know there will be great debate about which Three Days Grace/Linkin Park song should be on here

I LOVE THEM !!!!!

[ascesabo]

the great irony of early one piece antagonists believing zoro was the actual captain and using luffy as a puppet ... oda really threw us a bone and curb-stomped it right in our faces. yes, zoro could be a captain in his own right. yes, zoro could match luffy in strength. yes, zoro knows this perfectly well. and you know what? he chose luffy two years ago, and he will continue to choose luffy again and again. roronoa zoro, the pirate hunter, who followed a wannabe pirate with a nonexistent crew on a whim because luffy brought him his swords and made a half-assed attempt at a bargain. zoro, who made a vow to never lose again on both his and luffy's honor. zoro, who told luffy he'd make him commit harakiri if he got in the way of zoro's goal, only to turn around and be willing to sacrifice his dream if it means that luffy reaches his. zoro, who stood in place and took luffy's pain and told a warlord to take his head instead of luffy's, who got down on his knees before his supposed rival and begged mihawk to mentor him so that he could return strong enough to protect his captain. zoro, who has conqueror's haki- a natural born leader- but chooses to stay at the right hand of a man he has deemed greater than himself.

and the thing that luffy fears most? being alone. being rejected. being left behind. and what should have been his foil- the pirate hunter to his pirate king, the nonbeliever to his divine, the king of hell to his sun god- instead becomes his first and most devout follower; the one who demands to follow him to hell and back. oughhhggg i'm sick to my stomach

vague-posting about this here cuz i don't feel comfortable yapping about my su takes on twitter, but after everything that's happened the most interesting thing about the su fandom to me is that so many are 100% there for applying the "everyone can change and deserves a second chance" message to everyone, even the diamonds. except for one ☝️ she doesn't count. cuz she's dead.

“Why are you still pissed off?” Was the first thing out of Zoro’s mouth after thirty minutes. Thirty minutes of him standing before you in complete and utter silence. Not a single peep out of his mouth for thirty minutes as he watched you comb through Chopper’s fur, the poor reindeer molting so bad he had asked for your assistance in easing the itch a bit.

You quirked a brow up at him, keeping as silent as he had.

Zoro gruffed at his. 

“Really?” You turned your eyes right back down onto the reindeer in your lap, whose anxiety seemed to be growing the longer he was between you and Zoro's angered tension.

Zoro scoffed. 

Scoffed.

“It’s not even a big deal.” 

“You think so?” You were quick to shoot back. Zoro’s brows furrowed together at your tone.

“Yeah. Yeah, I think so.” You plucked a clump of molting fur from the comb, tossing it into the trash bin next to you.

You gave him a simple nod. Just one. 

“Okay.” Silence fell over the deck of the Thousand Sunny once more. Well…as quiet as the Sunny could be. You could hear Sanji shouting something at Luffy from within the kitchen as well as the clinking and clanking of Franky and Usopp tinkering. 

Zoro watched you for a long moment, muscular arms crossing over his chest. Watched you as if he was trying to figure something out.

“...okay?” You gave a small shrug. 

“Okay.” You repeated. Zoro’s brown, near-black eyes continued to watch you. 

“...why do I feel like you’re still pissed?”

“Take a wild guess.” Zoro grit his teeth.

“Hey. I didn’t know.” Chopper was wiggling in your grip, his nerves bubbling fully to the surface then. 

“Heh, heh…I think Robin--” The doctor started but you cut him off, running the comb back through his fur to keep him there.

“You didn’t know? Really? That’s the best you can come up with?” 

“I did!” He huffed back, uncrossing his arms again.

“You were there when I bought it!” The swordsman gave the back of his green-covered head a scratch as if he was trying to wrestle up the memory. 

“I don’t know what you want me to do about it.” It was your turn to scoff. 

“Oh, I don’t know, maybe apologize. Maybe actually take responsibility for it?” Chopper was once more wiggling in your grip, more nervous laughter falling from his lips.

“Guys…guys I’m sure--”

“You want me to apologize?” Zoro asked like it was the stupidest thing in this world. 

“No. Not now. You don’t think you did anything wrong.” 

“I know it wasn’t great.” 

“Then fess up and apologize.” You bit.

The deck fell quiet once more. Even Chopper held deathly still in your arms.

Zoro watched you, his gaze still narrowed like he should be the angry one.

“Fine.” He grit out like it was painful. 

He was probably the most stubborn man you had ever met. No. No scratch that he was the most stubborn man. There was no way he was really going to do what you asked of him. 

“Yeah?” You cocked a brow up at him. 

“Yeah.” He confirmed making you all but roll your eyes. You gestured for him to go on then with your hand. “I’m sorry.” You gave a small nod. 

“Okay…for what?” He went to open his mouth but you were quick to speak again. “And say sorry again before you tell me what you did,” Zoro grumbled.

“This is stupid.” 

“Then don’t do it.” This only made him grumble all over again.

“I’m sorry,” He began again, “for…” Another grumble in frustration. “For drinking your wine.” 

“You should be. That wasn’t that cheap shit you buy.” Zoro rolled his eyes right back at you.

“It was only 20 berries.” 

“The good stuff.” You were quick to correct him. Zoro sighed. 

“Whatever.” The deck went quiet again. Zoro continued to stand there, looking like he was still trying to figure you out as you went back to combing through Chopper's fur. The doctor had given a great sigh of relief at the tension being lifted. “Are…” Zoro started up again. 

“Are…?” You spoke, glancing back up at the tanned swordsman. 

“Are you still mad at me?” He mumbled like he was embarrassed to ask. Mumbled because he truly hated when you were mad at him. It was a fact that, once you figured it out, loved to use to your advantage. 

“Give me a little kiss and I won’t be.” Zoro’s shoulders seemed to slump in his own relief at your words. He was quick to kneel before you, lending over Chopper to fit his warm lips against your own. 

“EW! No! Stop!” Chopper complained, starting his wiggling back up all over again. You let the doctor go, who was quick to rush off, fake gagging as he did.

“I’ll get you another bottle,” Zoro murmured against your lips. You nodded, cupping his cheeks in the palms of your hands. 

“Thank you.” You claimed his lips once more, your skin warm and buzzing as he kissed you right back.

The Multiple Universes of Claudia Gray's A Thousand Pieces of You

It’s been a while since I picked up Claudia Gray’s A Thousand Pieces of You, the first book in the series. It is a YA sci-fi with multiverses and a romantic subplot, so it has a lot going on. But I’m a sucker for multiple dimensions and historical fiction flare, as we all know at this point. Let’s dive in! Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their groundbreaking achievements.…

Sanji: Honestly, I can't believe you! You have someone as pretty as Boa Hancock obsessing over you and you don't even--

Luffy: Sanji's prettier though

Sanji: I

Sanji: What??

Luffy: I guess Hancock looks nice. For a girl anyway. But Sanji's way, way prettier than she is

Sanji: *squeaks* O-oh
