holy shit thats fifty last lines. damn ANYWAY i was tagged by the lovely @writingrosesonneptune!! thank you so much :D
this bit is from the end of an isa POV chapter in goddess-touched <3 can't think of content warnings off the top of my head rn but it involves loud arguing with an old woman about the death penalty
“But you didn’t think for a fucking second in the last two months that it might be fucking helpful to know who was helping her?” Lakia’s words crack like a whip, the plants all around the courtyard writhing along with her anger, thorns growing out of tomato vines and carrot sprigs and even the walls, as the wood paneling revives itself with her rage. “They’re dead,” Xavi snaps, arms crossed tightly under his cloak as his foot taps relentlessly on the glass of the clockface in the ground. “It’s done. You could be putting all this--” he waves to the garden “--to something more productive, kid.” “If they’re dead,” she spits, “the world needs to know their names so we can fucking drag them through every pile of mud and shit that ever has been and ever will be. And if they’re not--” “Then what?” Mags says, the paper-bead bracelets on her wrists rattling as she folds her arms and sticks up her chin. “Tell me, what would you want us to do? Kill them?” She tsks. “You don’t want a world where the government can do that on such short notice.”
i'll tag @vacantgodling, @writeblrfantasy, @sleepyowlwrites, @authoralexharvey, and @ashen-crest!! as always, absolutely 0 pressure to play, and this doubles as an open tag if you've been looking for an excuse and/or want me to see what you have to share <3
#mags my beloved. so absolutely correct all the time#and lakia my beloved having NONE OF IT. NONE#the death penalty is not a thing in aree (anymore) and mags refuses to let it even cross her own mind#even for the crimes being talked about (unimaginable death toll)#meanwhile lakia is fully not talking about the government doing anything. wink wink#anyway im so excited to write lakias arc. its going to fuck SEVERELY#snip#goddess-touched#the millennium saga#last line tag
