I don’t think twice. I sprint after him, taking off.[…] Ryke’s dark features brighten as soon as he sees me. His lips rise far beyond an almost-smile.[…] “I was waiting for the sun to chase me,” he breathes, drawing me to his chest.

Stoppppp

I loveeee ch.51😂😭💗💗💗💗

Lo has his hands on his head, his eyes darting between me and Rose. “You both take birthday surprises to a new f***ed up dimension.”

Rose and Connor are having some sort of staring contest.
“Stop reading each other’s minds,” Lo says. “It’s creepy.”

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I cannntttt I love them

“Now drink—not you.” He points his knife at Ryke. “But everyone else, take the shots. Celebrate my twenty-fourth year in this world. I’m sure I’ve impacted so many people for the better.” He flashes a dry smile.

Lo and his sarcasm I adore him

“The pact,” Lily hisses. “What if Rose put a curse on me? I can’t say anything.”
“You can’t be that fucking superstitious.”
“Rose might as well be a supernatural force when she’s upset. You haven’t seen her truly angry, so you can’t say anything.”
“I’ve seen her so fucking pissed that she almost tased my brother, how’s that?”

Rose Calloway Cobalt. A queen.🫶🫶

“Like I told Lo, I’ve made this pact with Rose not to talk about it, like a Ya-Ya Sisterhood thing, and I can’t go back on my word. And just so you know, Rose is scary. She took out a knife and was saying something about blood oaths, and before I knew it, she slit my palm.” Her voice lowers, almost comically that it’s hard to take her serious. But she is.

Rose is so dramatic I love her so much.

Ryke & Sully. My favorite heartbreaking friendship in this series I really missed them😭😭😭😭

Lily & Lo💓💓💓💓

The minute she sees him, her whole body lifts, and my brother—he wears a smile that’s rare in anyone else’s presence but hers. I’ve never really seen love until I saw them together, truly.

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH:

She lets out an irritated scream. “Why is this so fucking heavy?” (Rose)
[…]“And I’m not pepper spraying a nice person who tries to help us.” (Lily)
“You would if they tried to rape you,” Rose retorts.
They’re so fucking dramatic. “No one is going to rape the two of you.” Just like that, both Connor and Lo reach over the table to try and steal the phone from my hand.

“Rose got a flat tire, and she refuses to call a tow truck.”
“I can fix it myself.” Rose’s icy voice bleeds through the speaker. […]
“She’s in five-inch heels,” Lily notes. “I am impressed. I really am, but it’d be even more impressive if she knew what she was doing.”
“I can read,” Rose says. “I have the manual right here. I don’t need a man to show me how to fix a f***ing tire.”

“Well, be damn fucking sure about this,” Ryke says, “any love that I fucking give will never hurt a woman.” He passes the bowl to me, cold in my hands. “Eat your cereal.”

Ryke is just so selfless and protective I can’t believe I forgot how much I genuinely adore him

“That’s my girl. That’s my f***ing girl.”
“What are you doing here?” I practically bawled into him.
“I missed you.”
“You what?”
His arms tightened around me. “I missed you very much.”
Oh hell.
“I had to come see you,” he continued on. […] “I knew you were going to do it.”

💓💓💓

Now or never right? “I’ve got this.”
He made a light noise, a tender one. “That’s my girl.”
His girl? “I am?” I just outright asked him, hoping more than a little he wasn’t just… that was stupid, Aiden wouldn’t just say that.
“The only one,” he said it like there was no other choice in the world.

STOP.😭

“I love you more than anyone.”
-Rose
[…]
“I love you more than I could ever love myself.”
-Connor

These 2 are my everything. My fav. couple OF ALL TIME. It has been 4 yrs since I first read about them and absolutely nth ever compares to them. Not even close. Can’t believe I already reread 1/2 of their books.😭😭🦁💎💍📖💓💓💓

“Kiss the sky with me,” Connor whispers, a beautiful smile pulling his lips, “and don’t ever come down.”

“I am so deeply in love with you, Rose.” I wipe her cheeks with my thumb.
She tries to smile but every time she does, more tears fall. I can tell they’re from a place of joy by the way her eyes light. And then she says, “Ça vous a pris pas mal de temps.” It took you long enough.

Van & Zac's friendship💞
Aiden being his most affectionate self towards Leo😭😭
Aiden lowkey being territorial over Van out of jealousy🤭
I love.

Ch.24: they r both so sweeeeeetttt

“What happened?” he ground the question out.
“It’s a long story.”
“I have time for you.”
“It’s a really long story,” I insisted.
“Okay.”
This guy.

"Why does nothing ever stay buried...?"
"Jean?"
😭
P.S. I am a Marvel Comic beginner so I haven't read anything explaining Jean×Scott before her death, but this is heartbreaking.
I'm lowkey mad her death got spoiled for me but ChatGPT/Google KEPT recommending 'Astonishing X-Men' as a safe entry point for new readers so idkk!!
++I'm hoping she didn't really actually die?🙏

"Are you gonna fight everyone, Logan? I just wanna know if I'm next."
"Nah, you'd go ninja on me--I can't take that kind of hurt."

AHAHAHAHA The funny banter between the teammates is chef's kiss
