Lex Croucher
“Walk like you don’t care where your limbs are,’ Agnes said, doing a
much better job of it than Gwen. ‘As if it’s of no consequence to you where
they end up. Like this. See? Swing them about. And you should act, at all
times, as if your crotch is a burden.’

‘Now hang on,’ said Arthur. ‘I’m a man, and my crotch isn’t a burden.’

‘Maybe not to you,’ said Gwen. ‘But it’s a burden on the rest of
humanity.”
Lex Croucher, Gwen & Art Are Not in Love

“He glared at me. “Yes, you would do all that, wouldn’t you? Well then, instead, why don’t you just marry me?”
Heather Fawcett, Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries

“Spice cake?” I said. Bambleby tumbled back into his chair. “How hard could it be?” “Have you ever made spice cake?” “I’ve certainly eaten it.” “Have you ever made anything?” “That’s neither here nor there.”

“Dear Emily,” he said as I sat down, not troubling to lift his head from his hand but smiling at me slantwise. “You look as if you’ve come from a wrestling match with one of your books. May I ask who won?”
Heather Fawcett, Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands

“It is most likely to be found in a similar woodland landscape, green and wet with plenty of oak groves to drink in the small magics of the common fae and create spaces for such portals to manifest---if indeed their existence is the result of mere accident or chance. These sorts of rabbit hole doors---back entrances, if you like---are often said to be accidental, in the stories. Northern Europe is the most likely location; perhaps one of the warmer forests of Russia."
He stood unmoving with his hand on the door, staring at me.
"Yes, I know that's a lot of conjecture," I said, misreading the look on his face. "I've not had time to give it much thought."
He smiled at me, his eyes shining a little too brightly in the way they sometimes did. "We are going to make a very good team, Em."
I snorted to cover the heat rising in my face. "So far, our teamwork seems rather unevenly distributed."
"I may be of use to you yet, my dear dragon.”
Heather Fawcett, Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries
