A few hours at home and the Telegraph Club seemed more like a fantasy than a real thing. This troubled her. It felt as if someone had taken an eraser to her memory - to her very self - and rubbed at it, then blown away the remains. Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

Due to her love of music and dance, in an alternate universe I believe Nesta would have been an very talented dancer. Thank you @/sunsetrina for creating this beautiful art.

No but really I love that after Darcy’s second proposal and Lizzy’s (awkward) (vulnerable) (affirmative) response Darcy DOES say something, he does elaborate and you know it’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever heard in your life but Austen doesn’t tell us what. Austen drops the veil for a second and only tells us what his face looks like and that Lizzy is unable to meet his gaze. And tbh that makes it perfect.

"Those who deserve respect are given it freely. If one must demand such a thing, he’ll never truly command it. I’d rather be a lowly wretch on the streets than live in a house full of cages. Do not lecture me on propriety when it’s a virtue you so grossly lack."

I think this is the prettiest world – so long as you don’t mind a little dying, how could there be a day in your whole life that doesn’t have its splash of happiness?
