'You ever just want to sleep for a really long time?’

Mikkel smiled at him, the gesture pained and sympathetic.

‘Just…promise you won’t be mad, Cupcake,’ Mikkel said again, his gaze going far away, the smile remaining.

‘A part of you knows. You try and ruin it, as often as you can. And I know you cannot entirely help it. […] But I need that part of you, Gwyn. I need the part of you that knows that you were trying to hurt yourself with something you didn’t truly deserve, last night. The part of you that knows I have no right to punish you right now, for anything. […] That doesn’t want to be hurt like that anymore.’

This chapter!

Don't read them, Gwyn 😭

That scene in the woods... 💘 So romantic! 😍

‘Augus,’ he said, like that in itself was enough. But it wasn’t. Gwyn couldn’t find sentences, so instead he could only find a handful of words to convey what he felt. Words that he didn’t think he would ever say out loud while Augus was there. But his reasons for hiding them were no longer valid, didn’t matter when he felt this good. ‘My anam cara.’

‘I don’t want the Unseelie Court to fall,’ Augus said, his nostrils flaring, his lips turning into a frown. ‘But sometimes, I want it over, destroyed, so that I might steal you away somewhere. Somewhere dark and beneath the water and wholly mine. So that I can show you everything that you’re capable of. So that I can teach you to love it.’

It's good that Gwyn can talk about some of that stuff now, but it HURTS 😭💔

💘💘💘

"He had always been a complete being, he had never believed that there would be someone else to complete him. In truth, he still couldn’t bring himself to believe it. […]

Gwyn didn’t complete him, no. But Augus was too afraid of the dark to ever let him go.

And what Augus knew was this: Gwyn wouldn’t want him, once he knew the truth."

here it comes...
