This: Let me also speak plain, before this tree runs out of years, before the fine fellows under your command make siege weapons of my words: What do you want from this, Red? What are you doing here? Tell me something true, or tell me nothing at all. and this: “And then we’d be at each other’s throats even more.” Oh, petal. You say that like it’s a bad thing.

And we’ll run again, the two of us, upthread and down, firefighter and fire starter, two predators only sated by each other’s words.

why settle for "ily" when you can have "I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand. Flowers grow far away on a planet they’ll call Cephalus, and these flowers bloom once a century, when the living star and its black-hole binary enter conjunction. [...]"

There should not be a sheet of cream-colored paper, clean save a single line in a long, trailing hand: Burn before reading.

You asked me to tell truths. I have. What do I want? Understanding. Exchange. Victory. A game—hiding and discovery. You’re a swift opponent, Blue. You play long odds. You run the table. If we’re to be at war, we might as well entertain one another. Why else did you taunt me at the start?

The prose is gorgeous 😍✨ and since this is a reread+reading slowly, am actually enjoying & understanding this
