i mean lets be so for real: who hasn't fantasized about a professor?

“It isn't that he's still in love with his ex-wife-he's had a year to come to terms with the fact that their marriage is over.
It's that his entire adult life has been wrapped up in another person, and as much as he hates to admit it, he's really fucking scared that he may not be able to function on his own.”

Love me some Rachel’s signature characters in liminal spaces work!

Skylar remains That Girl.

Credit where credits due: that was one heck of (what i hope is part one of) a grand gesture!

V romance hero coded. V demure.

“For the most part, I've made peace with my illness, but some times envy creeps up on me. Time moves forward when you re sick, but not in the same way. I still feel twenty-one, a time capsule frozen at the age I got sick. News of babies always reminds me how much time has truly passed. My uneventful birthday, usually spent curled up in bed, always reminds me.”

“Part of me resents my legs for not allowing me to do this whenever I want, but the other part loves them for bringing me closer to Skylar. If my life had stayed on the same path, I'd never have met her. I don't know how to reconcile that with the fact that I still long to snowboard with every fiber of my being.”

SIGH this is being dragged out and I’m bummed bc i was having SO much fun!

All in all having a LOT of fun with this and its medieval take on legally blond.

I am finding the middle dragging a bit and so desperately wish we got a full character and pronunciation guide. But so far am finding its balance of sticking to the source material’s beats and being its own thing v well done.

Heheheh things are heating up!!!

“Icarus bit the inside of his mouth until it bled. He wanted to scream. He wanted to sob. He wanted to go back in time to freshman year so he could throw himself into this room. When it could have mattered, when it could have made a difference.

Icarus swallowed the blood. Misinterpreted her words on purpose, even though something inside him was weeping to hear them.”

"I was made for you; I was born for you, and you're still standing before me acting like you're not worthy,"

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

"Oh no, it's gotta be something," Icarus said darkly, "We've already gallanted through medical trauma, abuse, addiction, my weird joints, extracurricular genders, almost getting off from your touching my face, a dance recital, Roman baths in the middle of Michigan"
Helios was laughing hard now.
"There's nothing elsel" He gazed up at Icarus, eyes crinkled with fondness.
"Are you sure?" Iearus demanded.
"I'm surel"

"’How should I feel, to know that coming to see me hurts you every time? That if we didn't meet, you might have gone your whole life not know-ing?
…
Icarus knew Helios was upset, but he wanted to grin and grin and grin. His heart sang at the fact that something meaningless like his discomfort brought Helios to tears. No one had ever felt that way about him and it was so fresh and new.”

“Icarus shrugged and took another drag, blowing it out in rings. He just didn't care. When you don't have people to be responsible to, or relationships that you have to sustain, you don't get in the habit of saying things you don't mean. Icarus told the truth because if anyone didn't like it, he'd just never speak to them again.”

“If someone mentions a city I’ve been to, it feels kind of like this. And the memory of all the sensory impressions sort of settles in your chest, as an ache with a name.”

“Reece Rollins wasn’t just my mate.
He was the love of my life.”

These two are so ridiculously cute!!

“Sunlight kissed his skin, making his blue-green color shimmer like a calm sea. In a way, that's what he was. His presence was steady, allowing an inexperienced sailor like me to navigate the ocean of feelings I had for him.”

Ehehehe that mate bond is WORKING!

“As I watched him walk away from me, it felt as if I'd been punched in the gut. Of course, a man like him would find a monster like me repulsive. And of course, out of all the beings I'd met in my long life, that man was my mate.”

Hehehehehe LFG!

“But just because anything can happen, that doesn't mean anything will. Possibility is just the start— you have to leap for it. To make a shot, you have to risk missing.”

“For all of our differences, there are places where Natalie and I overlap. Louisa's insights hit me like I'm looking in a mirror and seeing my own reflection for the first time.”

“I had hoped that slotting back into my old beat would be like coming home, and it is, but what I didn't expect is that it would be like visiting an old school after graduating, like everything is slightly smaller than you remember it being. The place hasn't changed, but you have.”

“He did not blame them. The two werebears were stronger than any human, but strength was useless in the face of love. Very well. He would be strong in their stead. It was what paladins were for, after all.”

“Something broke loose inside him. He didn't have to worry about frightening her. She could tear him in half if she wanted. Isthan gave himself up to the moment. Their bodies slammed together with bruising force and both of them wanted more.”

Hehehehehehehe

“‘It will be all right,' he said. I know what it's like to have a feeling so strong it overwhelms you. I'm here.'

‘For how long?' she asked, covering his hand with hers.

‘For as long as you need me,' he said, and there was absolutely no choice after a statement like that but to kiss her.”

Well doc you’re my new favorite character actually. THANK YOU for being the voice of all us readers screaming “just talk to one another!” Lol

“‘Madam,’ said Istvhan, his voice dropping nearly an octave, ‘I have made love. I have had sex. I have bedded, rutted, fucked, and on occasion, with enthusiastic consent and a great deal of oil, i have sodomized, but i have never, not once, canoodled.’”

SCREAMING

“You learned better and you got on with things. You learned that you were what you were, and tried to be the best version of that person, because you were never going to be anybody else.”

“Perhaps it was her explanation that she did not feel her Saint. It finally settled inside his head that she was with the convent because of what she was, but because she was dedicated to holiness.

And Istvhan, who could no longer touch holiness, might be able to touch her.”

TEHEHEHE

“‘So you see, Domina,’ he whispered, ‘you are not the only one with a beast inside them.”

AYYYYY
