WHAT DO YOU MEAN

‘The danger lived with her; perhaps it had been born with her, if the rest of the stories about changeling children were to be believed. The danger was as ancient as the world. But if fairies and monsters were real, so were the women who defeated them.’

‘Effy laughed again. “I thought you weren’t a romantic.”
"I wasn't," Preston said, cheeks still pink. "Until you."’

of course she wrote it and her dads a dick !!!!!!

‘"I was eighteen," said Angharad again. "That meant I was a woman, in some people's eyes. Well—I was a woman when it was convenient to blame me, and a girl when they wanted to use me.”’

‘"Yes," she said. "I am Angharad Myrddin, née Blackmar. My husband has been dead for six months. My son, I imagine, has died along with his father's house. But in truth, like his father, he died months ago."’

GIRL WHAT DID I SAY

okay but what if the wife comes to save him ??

okay so the creep is actually the fairy king and there were no mirrors in the manor because they kill him…. okay

‘"There," lanto said, somehow even softer than before. "That's a good girl. Build something beautiful for both of us. I don't want to wait much longer. I've spent twelve mortal years looking for you, and now, finally, you've come home."’

he’s such a creep

‘"Call me mad if you like," Ianto said, and as he stepped for-ward, the chains rattled, "but all I see before me are a drowning foundation and two fatherless children."’

oh my god ????? so he’s trapped them both there so that the manor survives the drowning ?????
