Lit. Characters from A to Z : E  ⟶ Emma Carstairs (The Dark Artifacts )

Emma rose to her feet, facing the faerie across the fleeing crowd. Gleaming from his weathered, barklike face, his eyes were yellow as a cat’s. “Shadowhunter,” he hissed. 

Emma reached back over her shoulder and closed her hand around the hilt of her sword, Cortana. The blade made a golden blur in the air as she drew it and pointed the tip at the fey. “No,” she said. “I’m a candygram. This is my costume.”

The faerie looked puzzled.

Emma sighed. “It’s so hard to be sassy to the Fair Folk. You people never get jokes."

happy birthday my love, @richieqcko​

“Greed is your god, Kaz.“

He almost laughed at that. “No, Inej. Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.”

@acotarnet Event 6: Friendships + Elain & Azriel

Azriel gently removed the gag from her mouth. “Are you hurt?”

She shook her head, devouring the sight of him as if not quite believing it. “You came for me.” The shadowsinger only inclined his head.

@camphalfbloodnetwork: quest 11: LGBT ships + jercy

“Atlantis?” Jason asked. “That’s a myth,” Percy said.  “Uh… Don’t we deal in myths?”  “No, I mean it’s a made up myth. Not like, an actual true myth.”

Lit. Characters from A to Z : A  ⟶ August Flynn (Monsters of Verity)

I don’t know who I am, and who I’m not, I don’t know who I’m supposed to be, and I miss who I was; I miss it every day, Kate, but there’s no place for that August anymore. No place for the version of me who wanted to go to school, and have a life, and feel human, because this world doesn’t need that August. It needs someone else.

Lit. Characters from A to Z : I  ⟶ Isabel Culpeper ( The Wolves of Mercy Falls )

I closed my eyes and swallowed. “I can’t tell the difference between not fighting,” I said, “and giving up.” ( insp. from the lovely, @briarpoet )

Lit. Characters from A to Z : C  ⟶ Cole St. Clair ( The Wolves of Mercy Falls )

I was suddenly glad I'd left Isabel on her bed and then alone at her house. It hurt to let myself remember I was poison to everyone I touched, but for once, it felt good to be self-aware. I couldn't stop myself from exploding, but I could at least learn to contain the fallout.

@callowaynetwork​ event 4: favorite moment  ➞ lovers like us chapter 40

His eyes are bloodshot and he says, “It’s all these little moments that made you. You mean everything to my siblings. To the Meadows girls, to your sisters and brother, and that makes you a shadow I can’t escape. Because I can’t be anything to them when you’re every fucking thing. So who am I?” Charlie points to his chest. “Who am I? And what the hell do I become if I go to Harvard with you? Lost and confused? I was already self-loathing and bitter, but I’d just be more resentful, more bitter - a guy who wakes up and hates himself for not being more like Maximoff Hale.”

What...

“You’re not self-loathing,” I argue.

At least, that’s what I’ve seen.

He tilts his head. “I don’t always lash out at you because I hate you. I lash out because I hate how I feel when I’m around you. I hate that I want to become you.”

Lit. Characters from A to Z : G  ⟶ Garrison Abbey ( Addicted )

Whoever built my mind needs to redo the wires and find better balance because I’m leaning all over the place. I’m tilted and sideways and so fucked up—this isn’t even half of it.

@stiefvaternet​​ event 7: quotes + the wolves of mercy falls

I was so tired of being alone, but I was always alone, even with people around me. And I was so tired of being surrounded, but I was always surrounded, even when I was by myself. There was so much talk about how everyone wanted to be goddamned special. I was so tired of being the only one of my kind.

Lit. Characters from A to Z : B  ⟶ Baylee Wright (Aerial Ethereal)

But I live inside of juggling. It’s my every day. No breaks. No time apart. Living with a passion isn’t like sitting on top of the world twenty-four-seven. I drop down constantly and stare pointedly at my juggling props, and I question if they’ve revolted against me. 

Every toss feels off. Every way I move feels wrong. Like I’m all out of whack, and in one moment, I hate juggling like it’s my stubborn spouse. It’s my foe. 

Then one day, my clubs float in perfect symmetry. My heart soars as high as the props I toss, and my passion blisters bright inside of me. Juggling is my love. 

I remember why I do this. Why I grind through the hard parts—I do it for these blissful, world-bending moments.

books read in 2018: the walls around us - nova ren suma 

It was hope we might have two lives - the way cats are said to have nine. This life we ruined, and another, for after  (insp).

Lit. Characters from A to Z : K  ⟶ Kestrel Trajan ( The Winner’s Trilogy )

Kestrel’s cruel calculation appalled her. This was part of what had made her resist the military: the fact that she could make decisions like this, that she did have a mind for strategy, that people could be so easily become pieces in a game she was determined to win… (insp.)
