Bodhi: I sleep with a dagger under my pillow.

Garrick: Weak. I sleep with two swords under mine.

Xaden: You are both pathetic.

Garrick, sarcastically: What killer weapon do you sleep with, Xaden?

Xaden: Violet.

Imogen when noticing Sloane's armoire door isn't closing properly.

Imogen: Let me take a look- no it's fine, I don't mind. I've fixed mine before now. Now wonder it's not shutting, you have so many clothes.

Sloane: It's really not so much a problem, I can manage.

Imogen: Rider Black Leathers, a dress, that is a nice top. Eww aristocrat style? I disapprove.

Imogen: Sparing clothes, More Rider Black Leathers, another dress, Aetos- Wait.. DAIN?

Imogen looking over her shoulder at Sloane and back at Dain hiding in Sloane's Armoire: Somebody had better start talking or my daggers will.

Dain, stepping casually out of the Armoire: Nicely going Mairi, you seem to have everything in order, just make sure you hang your uniform a little smarter. Overall you've passed Armoire inspection.

Dain, not missing a beat to Imogen: Wingleaders are now asked to inspect Armoires for improper uniform storage. It's a new rule added to the Codex just today. You're penned in for inspection this afternoon, so get everything cleaned up. I'll show myself out.

Dain walks away to safety, cool as a cucumber:

Imogen, not sure what to believe: This can't be allowed, right?...

[joyful-lurker]

The redemption arch Rebecca managed to pull off from 'god fucking damn it Dain' to thee magnificent Dain 'eyes here" Aetos is one for the ages. A literary masterstroke

Happy Threshing Day!

While Thunderbolt would be my dragon if I existed in HOTD, I like to think that if I existed in this fantasy series I would be bonded to a blue dragon, specifically a Blue Morningstartail!😁🔥🐲💙🏰⚔️

This beautiful artwork of my majestic Empyrean dragon OC was made by talented IG artist @vishap.art

His name is Saphir (suh-feer) which means "Sapphire" in Scottish Gaelic. I imagine him to be larger than Sgaeyl, but smaller than Tairn, with purplish-blue coloring and scales that shimmer like sapphire gemstones. Complete with glowing, golden-yellow eyes, obsidian-black horns, and a wickedly dangerous morningstartail, my dragon is truly a force to be reckoned with! My Saphir is as beautiful as he is powerful!

Hot take: a business’ absolute lack of give a shit should not be used as a fun little tool to make them even more money.

Tairn: I spy with my little eye, someone who needs to shut the fuck up.

Violet: Is it Dain?

Tairn: It's always Dain.

Knight!Liam Mairi x Princess!Reader

A/N - Reference to arranged marriage (without reader's consent.) NO BOOK SPOILERS! I'm thinking about turning this into a longer one-shot and maybe even a part 2, written out, not head canons but I needed to write something to get out of my writers block if only head canons. So let me know if you would like this as a written out fic and/or part two.

⚔️ 👑 ⚔️

Liam has been your guard since you were little, even unofficially. Learning from his father.

When his father is part of the rebellion to take down the monarch he's executed.

You don't care who Liam’s father was, nor that his father was part of the rebellion, you secretly backed it anyways so when you need a new guard you beg your parents to let it be Liam.

After much persuasion your father approves of it and he's granted knighthood shortly after.

Somewhere between childhood and young adulthood you fall in love.

How could you not?

Maybe it's the way he always offers his arm to you.

Maybe it's the way he notices when you need escape from a situation.

Maybe it's the late night conversation you have by cracking your bed chamber door open when you can't sleep.

Maybe it's the way you so gently tend to his wounds.

Maybe it's the way you defend him and his family's name.

Maybe it's the small notes he slips below your door that say "I love you" at the end of them.

Maybe it's the secret kisses you both share in the dead of night.

But that doesn't matter, not when you're suddenly betrothed without your knowing/consent. To another man, in another kingdom.

You think you might crumple into the floor when you relieve Liam of his duties, explaining why he's free. That he can travel the world now.

"Thank you," you whisper through tears.

"It's been my honor, Princess."

Violet: I gotta tell you something, I’m madly in love with you.

Xaden: Well, good luck with that.
