“When Poseidon pinned her
To the temple stones, her voice
Flared like pyre-wood,
Faded like smoke.

‘As Perseus bore down upon her
She bestrode the pitted ground;
The snakes that writhed from her head
Cried mercy of the clouds.

‘From her neck, Pegasus sprang –
The white horse spread his wings,
And bore her name through Greece
Swooping to Cretan shores.

‘Her blood birthed the corals
Of the Red Sea – sharp as tongues.
O Hera, grant Medusa
Her legacy: woman, monster, might!”
― Elyse John, Orphia and Eurydicius

“D: "I may not be the easiest person to care for, but what you never need to worry about is if our bond is a façade or not. It is the single most pure thing in my life that I will guard and nurture like my most prized possession because it is. You are my Comoară.
A: "What does that mean?"
D: "It means my treasure in Romanian”
― R.L. Caulder, Bite of Betrayal

“You have scars, but they don't have you." I'm not sure if either of us is breathing anymore. "And you, Riley fucking Kelly, are beautiful in a way that'd make the constellations weep.”
― Sav R. Miller, Vipers and Virtuosos

“Then call me your queen of disappointment and I'll add that to the list of things I don't give a fuck about.”
― Harper L. Woods, The Cursed
