I would love you in any shape, in any world, with any past.

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

[georgegirltm]

The fact that the book series that imprinted on me when I was 14 had a Zuckerberg/Steve Jobs-type tech billionaire as the main antagonist seeking not just for world but interdimensional domination, does not have me in a state of shock at all.

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.…

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.

[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.

A Thousand Pieces of You

[christanbrowneyedgirl]

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.

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

You found Luffy sprawled out on his back in the grassy deck of the Sunny. He’d found the perfect spot, one with lots of sun and a clear view of the picturesque sky you all sailed under.

Not that he was seeing the sky, your captain having found that warm spot in the sun for a nice nap. 

You stood just before his head, his snoring all the more bone shaking from this close. 

Not that you minded. You thought it was cute. How his lips hung open, a little bit of drool running from the corner of it. 

Thought his sleep-soft face was even cuter. How he seemed so so happy in this state. As happy as a cat in the sun.

The sight almost had you curling up into his side and joining him in his midday nap, but you had been sent to do the complete opposite of that. 

With a little reluctance, you knelt down before his head of wild hair, his straw hat having been knocked off and now tucked snugly beneath it. 

“Captain.” You whispered, poking a finger into his squishy cheek.

Luffy’s snoring halted. 

His sleep-soft face twitched. 

Eyelids clenched and--

Luffy gave another loud snore as if he hadn’t stopped. 

You couldn't help the laugh that spilled from your lips. 

“Get him awake now before I take over,” Nami shouted at you as she marched past, heading towards the helm.

You knew Nami’s takeover would include a nasty tongue-lashing and a sharp whack to the top of the head, so you hastened your task. 

“Luffy.” You spoke louder now, leaning down closer to his face. You brushed some of his hair from his forehead, making space for your lips to place a gentle kiss there. “Hey--wake up.” You placed another kiss to his temple. Then to the other. “We’re going to dock soon. Wake up.” 

Luffy mumbled something inaudible, brows furrowing and--

He fell quiet. His snoring seemed to have ceased, meaning you were closer to fulfilling your task.

You continued to litter his face with sweet kisses, finding you enjoyed kissing those rounded, sun-warmed cheeks of his the most. 

You had just placed a kiss on the scar under his left eye when a pair of hands grabbed hold of either side of your face. A wide grin pulled at Luffy’s lips, a giggle spilling from between them. 

“Do it again.” He laughed, eyes snapping open to take in your face. You did as he asked, placing a smacking kiss on his scar. “Again.” 

“Luffy--Nami said you need to get--”

“Pleaseeeeee.” Luffy begged, pulling your face closer. “Just one more.” You gave a small sigh.

“Just one more.” His grin pulled wider as he nodded up at you. You kissed his scar once more, letting your lips linger there for a long moment. The whole while Luffy giggled and wiggled beneath you in his joy. 

You pulled away with an overdramatic Mmmaw! sound, smiling brightly down at your captain. 

“Okay, you gotta get up now.” Luffy groaned, but let you go. Before you had even got a foot beneath you, Luffy was springing upright and popping a kiss on your cheek. A small kiss he attacked you with once you had stood fully, the kiss landing on your other cheek. Luffy followed you towards Nami, bouncing around you like some giggling land snark circling its prey, lunging forward here and there to keep gifting you kisses. Kisses that were being to make you feel like that happy, sun-loving cat.

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

My Review of Claudia Gray's Firebird Trilogy

Claudia Gray’s Firebird trilogy is a YA sci-fi romance that will take you all over the world, jumping into multiverses and dropping you in places of rich detail, vivid world building, and budding romance. It is an immersive, fun, and creative series that I happily reread in 2024 and maybe I can convince you to pick it up for yourself. Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their…

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.
