Why am I lowkey suspicious of Verity and Alex

“His eyes were bottomless pools. If she stared long enough, she might fall into them and never fall out.”

I need these two together RIGHT NOW

BOTH characters scheming and “faking” interest to learn the secrets of the other… I am OBSESSED with this.

“He wants pity. My pity was lost in the darkness.”

Fitchner???

“Tell all who will hear, the Reaper sails to Mars. And he calls for an Iron Rain.”

Pliny is a SNAKE

“Lightning lashes through the clouds outside; thunder rumbles. And I hear something. A howling. It is not the wind.”

Cue Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin

“We’re all just wounded souls stumbling about in the dark, desperately trying to stitch ourselves together, hoping to fill the holes they ripped in us. Eo kept me from this end. Without her, I’d be like them. Lost.”

Thank God this has gotten interesting again

“Then what is your suggestion?”
“You stop being such a little bitch.”

Victra is iconic

“He felt warmth radiate from his ribs like he had swallowed sunlight”

I LOVE the way Rebecca Ross writes

“‘Don’t go Iris,’ he said.
She had never heard him say her given name. It seeped through her like sunlight, warming her skin and her blood, and she had to glance away from him before he said how much it affected her.’”

AHHHH

“Perhaps it begins with one person. Someone you trust. You remove a piece of armor for them; you let the light stream in, even if it makes you wince. Perhaps that is how you let yourself be soft yet strong, even in fear and uncertainty. One person, one piece of steel.”

'Eiridians need water too, you know.'

'We keep inside. Closed system. Some inefficiencies inside, but we get all water we need from food. Humans leak! Gross!'

I laugh as I float in to the lab where Rocky is waiting. 'On Earth, we have a scary, deadly creature called a spider. You look like one of those, just so you know.'

'Good. Proud. I am scary space monster. You are leaky space blob.

I LOVE Rocky

I would die for Rocky

“Even if she would never see what she had worked for, hoped for. She shoved that thought behind her. As she had always done.”

:(

“You do. It follow me because I am the strongest. You do not follow me because I am the brightest. You follow me because you do not know where you are going. I do.”

“She sits close and cozy, legs touching mine. Close enough for guilt to crawl along my spine.”
😩

I feel like I shouldn’t be enjoying any part of The Institute, on behalf of Darrow’s entire situation, but I am having the best time

“Darrow was kind in Lykos.
I am not.”

“Hurt flashed in her eyes, and it was kindling to his temper. How dare she look that way, look like she was hurt, when it was his fucking heart—
‘You’re dead to me,’ Ruhn hissed, and vanished”
☹️☹️☹️

I forgot how deadly Nesta is 🫣

“I am chosen tenth. Tenth out of one thousand.”
