“In real life, Snow White stays dead and Rapunzel grows old, alone in her tower. In real life, you gotta have enough sense to stay away from ugly bitches offering you shiny apples and have enough balls to cut off your own hair and use it as a ladder if needs be. In real life, you gotta save yourself and the only happy endings are the ones paid for in massage parlors.”

“You were trying to insult him by calling him Blue?” Thor narrowed his eyes. “I can think of several things more insulting, right off the top of my head.” “She told him it would be the color of his balls if he kept trying to boff her,” Ull’s voice inserted helpfully. “You what?” I didn’t know if Thor was going to laugh or choke. “Well not in those precise words,” I mumbled.”

“Vampire Slayer,” I grumbled, “Try killing a god sometime and then get back to me. Blondie wouldn't last a day. She'd be whining to her mommy about the unfairness of it all within minutes. Oh, and falling for your prey... total amateur. You don't poop where you eat and you don't kill where you sleep. Or sleep with who you kill. No wait, that's necrophilia,” I frowned and then shook my head. “Oh whatever, it's just dumb to let your prey seduce you.”

Oh yes, a floating feline is so much easier to accept than a fully rotating head. “This is insane,” I whispered. “Utter madness.” “Don't worry about that,” the hovering cat said. “We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad, he's mad.”

“Vidar laughed as he peered over my shoulder. “You didn't expect it to be in English, did you?” “Yes, damn it,” I huffed. “I'm an American; I expect everything to be automatically translated into English for my convenience. And if someone doesn't understand English, all you have to do is shout it at them, and they'll magically understand.”

“Once upon a time, isn't that how all fairy tales begin? Except this isn't your average fairy tale. There are no charming princes or wicked witches within these pages and the fair maidens are more deadly than any big bad wolf. This is a fairy tale in the truest sense of the words; a story about fairies... the real story.”
― Amy Sumida, The Four Clever Brothers

“But I worry about you, Ellie.” Declan leaned back to look at me. “I worry about your happiness more than I worry about mine. And I'm so fucking confused over it.” “I think most people would call that love,” I said. “And you,” he asked, “what would you call it?” “I'd call it luck. I'm so damn lucky to have you; lucky to have you standing beside me, lucky to have your understanding, and lucky to have your support.” “But what about my heart?” Declan's stare went steady. “Do you find it lucky to have that as well?” “No, honey; I find it tragic,” I whispered. “But we're in this tragedy together; I love you too, Declan.”

“Children,” she nodded her head back towards the mother and her son behind us. “Small people who make annoying sounds and ask too many questions while simultaneously ruining my girl time. They're usually seen wearing stained clothing and snot trails down their cheeks. Most often accompanied by stressed out looking people who haven't had a mani-pedi in way too long and know the theme music to most cartoons better than they know the sound of their own orgasm.”
― Amy Sumida, A Taste for Blood

“I inhaled as moonlight filled me and set me to glowing. Not warm light like my brother's, but cool. His counterpart. I was silver to his gold. Calm to his fury. Water to his fire. We were balance, and that balance had finally been restored. Helios didn't lift that curse from me alone, but also from Earth. All over the world, a subtle imbalance was at play, and my power surged out of me to correct it.”

“Later that night at Moonshine, my youthful feeling faded. “I'm getting old,” I whined and leaned back on the couch shaped like a little hill and covered in fake grass. Trevor, sitting on my right with his arm around me, grinned lopsidedly. “What happened to feeling like a baby? You're not even a century yet.” “But all I want to do is sit with you up here, where the music isn't so loud so I can drink my fruity beverage in peace.” I leaned my head on his shoulder and looked past him at the stream that flowed across the width of the reserved loft in Moonshine, its bank outlined in rocks and fake grass.”

“Water to my Fire. Darkness embracing my Light,” the vows lifted from the same part of me that his words had sunk into. “I give myself to you from this time forward. In love and magic. My strength to empower your strength. My will aligned with your will. My desire rising for your desire. I place myself in your heart so that distance will never separate us again. I am a part of you now and forever, eternally entwined.”

“think it's risk; the risk that they may not love you as much as you love them. It's fire; burning but purifying, making both of you better for having survived it. I believe it's about compromise; finding a middle ground where two people can be together and still be separate, be in love, but still love themselves. I know this is love because it's what I feel, what I want, and what I'd do to be with you. What I'm not going to do, is give up just because you ask it of me.”
― Amy Sumida, Green Tea and Black Death

“Kirill was in the kitchen trying to make party trays of the food that people had been dropping off by the truckload. Why does everyone try to feed you when they know food is the last thing you want? They should drop off bottles of alcohol and lots of mint candies because you need alcohol when you're sad and whether I'm drinking or not, my stomach just felt like it was on the verge of throwing up all the time and mint helped with that.”
― Amy Sumida, Green Tea and Black Death

“But here's the thing about confessions; they are more beneficial to the confessor than the victim. Torin would be wounded, and then he would forgive me. I would have the relief of shedding this sin, while Torin would continue to live with it.”
