“God I am really going to hell for this.”
My mouth curls into a grin against his lips.
“That’s okay, I’ll meet you there.”

🥺

Also he CARRIES him while they’re kissing with his legs around his waist!! He cleans the cuts on his hand and KISSES each knuckle!!

This is just a silly, goofy fun time but damn they cute.

“His head drops against my shoulder, and he lets out a soft, husky laugh that, hell, it does everything for me. Fries my nervous system, short-circuiting my brain enough to make our rivalry seem like a thing of the past. Because I want to hear it again. Just like this, in the crook of my neck, floating over my skin like satin, breathy and raspy and just for me.”

Wow cute.

He remembered to get his lucky puck for him 🥹

No we did not just get the ‘You have to promise not to fall in love with me’ line from A Walk to Remember 🤭

“Hey, Moon.”
“Hey, Sun.”
“Thank you for this dance.”
“Thank you for this life.” 😭😭😭

I love them so much I can’t draw breath into my lungs. The sobs are coming from somewhere deep in the core of my very being. That’s where Tiernan and Lila live now.

“Say that again.” His eye darkened, his starvation for affection gleaming from it.
“I love you.”
He closed his eye, inhaling the words into his body.
“Now sign it.”
Dropping my arms from his shoulders, I signed, “I love you.”
“Now kiss it.”
Reaching on my tiptoes, I sealed his mouth with mine. Telling him with my body how I felt, and the ferocity with which I felt it.”

“When does a monster stop being a monster, mama?”
“Oh, bambina, when you love it.”

“I levelled my gaze at her. “Cheers.” God did my voice just break? Good thing she couldn’t hear it. Only, I didn’t mind her knowing.”

He wears the cross for her 😭

“I love you with a force that could destroy planets and universes, Lila.”

“It’s you and me against the world.” He leaned to brush his lips over my forehead. “But I like our odds, darlin’”.

“I was Koschei, the Deathless. Just like the Russian folllore villain I, too, hid my death inside something to protect it. That something was Lila. She was tangled in my being, her messy, coarse vines gripping every fibre of my soul. She had the power to destroy me. And I would let her. I’d gladly burn for this woman, just so she could feel the warmth of my flame.”

STOP EVERYTHING I am in pieces on the floor

“I didn’t miss my other eye often but when I did, it was because it took me twice as long to watch every atom of my wife’s existence every night. To count each of her thirty-three beauty spots, yes including the one behind her ear. Her fourteen freckles, all of them peppered across her celestial nose. All the twenty shades of yellow and silver in her hair.”

I can’t breathe, I can’t function.

“Classical music floated from the surround system. Yet another luxury Lila couldn’t enjoy.”

“Are you going to stop staring at your wife st some point?”
“Logic dictates that, yes, but I wouldn’t put money on it, Brennan.”

“God I loved her voice. It felt like sunrays dancing on the water. It fucking sparkled.”

“What my wife wants, my wife gets.”

This man is unreal. Can’t believe it.

“I buried my face in the crook of her knee, breathing her in. […] I kissed her kneecap, chuckling, my lips skimming along her smooth, bronze flesh. […] I wasn’t an empath, but I did feel pity for the rest of the male population for living their wretched lives without knowing what my wife felt like.”

My obsession is reaching an unbearable level.

“I’d stop the night from falling if darkness scares you, Lila.”

“I no longer set the pace of what was happening. The conqueror became the conquered and I knew, with amusing dark finality, that I was completely, tragically, wretchedly, hers.”

“Her pussy was a work of art. And I had visited most museums in the western world.”

They’re e v e r y t h i n g to me.

“..He’d always preferred the moon. The moon was a constant, it appeared every night be it winter or summer, providing him with the kind of stability the pesky sun never could. And it was beautiful. Pale and glowing in the ocean of darkness. The moon was his friend. His assurance that no matter what, something bright waited in the gloominess.”

5 star behaviour, I’m actually going insane. 😭

They don't even speak until 38% in are you kidding meeeee 😩

When he speaks behind her he has to crouch (🫠) and puts his lips right to the shell of her ear so she can feel the shape of his words!!! Obsessed doesn't even cover it I'm INHALING this

When they go to sleep he spoons her so she feels protected 😭 dear god

“Don’t feel so sorry for yourself. Tragedies are excellent teachers, Lila. Learn. Absorb. And conquer.”

“Care for a rerun of our wedding night?”
“Don’t mind if I do. I’m not picky with the way you touch me as long as you do.”

He’s completely gone for her already and literally all she had to do was speak I am GAGGED

“Release those muscles for me, Lila.” 😳

Eating this up for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“This dress is.. yeah. Wow. Makes the green in your eyes disappear. They’re just blue tonight.”

So I adore this man.

The way it was going well as a fun, silly, goofy time then he invites another woman to an event to get back at the FMC withdrawing from him??? In the bin mate 🗑️

Elite microtrope: When they’re in a crowded room with lots of people vying for his attention but his eyes are focussed only on her.

“And you think you know who I really am?”
“I think I might be starting to figure it out.”
Her hand is right there, mere centimetres from my own, but I’m not really a hand-holding guy. In fact, I’ve never sentimentally done that. So instead, I hook the tip of my middle finger around hers, and touching her even that much feels nice.”

I’m sooo in this it’s actually adorable.

“Hey, Zanders?”
“Hmm?”
“That’s what it feels like to be loved.”

Kinda feel like crying.

The combination of this guy’s crisp, deep voice coupled with how frequently he swears is really doing something to me. 🫦 What is it about a hot man saying “fuck”? Someone needs to study that.

“Will you forsake me now?”
“What is there left of you to forsake?”

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“I love you.”
Violet’s voice cracks the cold. And a silken thread of warmth wedges itself in the opening before it seals shut, locking it in place.
No, wait. I grab for that thread with desperate hands, clawing to keep her, as more of my pieces are blown away, lost to the void.

She is warmth and light and air and love.”

A book has never, ever made me feel like this. The grief is a sharp knife in my ribs.

“I can’t save him.”

UNBEARABLE. AGONY. 😭

Violet giving the order for every single rider to clear the airspace so she and she alone can decimate the wyvern hoard is the coolest fucking thing I’ve ever read. Alexa play Thunderstruck by AC/DC ⚡️😎

Brennan: “That’s why we’ll fail. Because you will choose everyone over yourself, and he will choose you over everyone.”

So my heart has been pierced and I’m in hell 🥲

Side note: absolutely LOVE how long it’s taken Violet to become even a little more proficient with her powers. It wasn’t just that she practised a bit and now she’s an all-powerful baddie. She’s a baddie who’s human, who’s worried about her friends and making mistakes and doesn’t get it right every time. It’s so beautifully human I could cry (again). Fuck I love Fourth Wing.
