at which point did you start tearing up the most #koa asks

When the Thirteen died was when I cried the heaviest, but I I actually cried the most (in terms of number of times) for Evangeline. I don’t think there was a single scene with here where I didn’t get choked up at least a little bit.

I think mostly because she reminds me so much of my younger sister, that I was picturing my sister in those situations she was in. I basically replaced every time “Evangeline” was written with “Laurie” 😂

But Evangeline’s scenes were also sad in a way the others weren’t because Evangeline, while she has been through a lot and is more mature than other children might be, is still a young child. Again and again she has had her freedom to act like a child ripped away. So to see her blabber on about her day and jump around and wear a Crochan cloak to bed—to see her get to act like a child… that made me get so emotional.

@faenet event: kingdom of ash

She flung out a hand, as if she might signal them, as if they might somehow help her when she was nothing but an invisible speck of power—
The winged male, beautiful beyond reason, snapped his head toward her as she arced across his starry sky.
He lifted a hand, as if in greeting.
A blast of dark power, like a gentle summer night, slammed into her.
Not to attack—but to slow her down.
A wall, a shield, that she tore and plunged through.
But it slowed her. That winged male’s power slowed her, just enough.

read in 2018: monsters of verity duology by victoria schwab

“Monsters, monsters, big and small,
They’re gonna come and eat you all.
Corsai, Corsai, tooth and claw,
Shadow and bone will eat you raw.
Malchai, Malchai, sharp and sly,
Smile and bite and drink you dry.
Sunai, Sunai, eyes like coal,
Sing you a song and steal your soul.
Monsters, monsters, big and small,
They’re gonna come and eat you all!”

“Do you want to know what your first mission will be?”

She looked at his golden-brown eyes and all of the promises that lay within them, and linked her arm with his as she smiled. “Tell me tomorrow.”

“Can I give you a suggestion for what we should rebuild first?”

Aelin smiled, and eternity opened before them, shining and glorious and lovely. “Tell me tomorrow.”
