Could you do #8 for "A burning Secret" "Hotel Suite" and "Ti voglio tanto bene" for the fanfic ask game ☺️?

Ooh, coming in with a tough one, hehe. Thanks for the ask!

8. What is your favorite line/section from [insert fic]?

A Burning Secret

“I fell and it got hot,” he said in a rush. “And bright,” he added. “And really hot. And then…” The resolve faded. He searched for what to say next. He swallowed, thickly. “I woke up,” he finished simply, head bowed and shoulders hunched. Though his description was vague, the Luma practically had stars in its eyes hearing it. “…Did it hurt?” it breathed, enraptured. “………yeah.” “Woah…” “I’m sorry,” Rosalina said, heart heavy.

This exchange is literally the main reason I wrote this fic, lmao. I wanted the Luma to be so freaking inappropriate it looped back around to vague comedy (to me, anyway). I didnt name the Luma in the fic because I feel like a lot of them act like movie!Lumalee, tbh, in that they're super weird about death.

Honeymoon Suite

With some maneuvering they managed to squeeze into the cockpit, the seat pushed back as far as it could go and Mario sitting between Peach’s knees. “It’s a good thing you’re so small,” Peach teased, resting her arms around Mario’s waist. She giggled at Mario’s mock-scowl at her for it.

I need to write Mario and Peach banter more often (I say as if I haven't written plenty since writing this passage)

Ti voglio tanto bene

Luigi froze, though Mario hadn't reacted to him entering. Luigi crept into Mario’s field of view, and even then it was a while before Mario met his gaze. He looked tired. Despondent. Drained. Luigi bit his lip, feeling way out of his depth. He'd never seen Mario like this before. He had no idea how to break the silence. In hindsight, he really should have picked a better opener. “So…the Toads can't decide if you and Peach either got hitched or broke up…?” Luigi ventured. He watched Mario blink, processing his words. And then Mario just crumpled.

Not gonna lie. Every time i read this bit during editing I laughed. It's something about the timing or pacing or contrast of it all that gets me, even though it really shouldn't XD
