Fuck all romances except whatever that guy with the peculiar coat and that girl who could find whichever side of it she wanted had going on <3

Kell and Lila, to Holland, at any given moment:

disaster trio disaster trio disaster trio

[burningblake]

asdfg I can't, they're so sweet and perfect for each other. kell staying awake whenever lila is out, lila still trying to find a cure for him, him giving her a ring not to signify devotion, but for protection, and her secretly keeping it around her neck despite arguing that she didn't want it, lila teaching kell to fight now that he can't use his magic, lila abandoning the thrill of battle just at hearing him scream—they've been together for nearly a decade and I'm still hanging onto their moments like it's a first kiss. what a beautifully written relationship, what a wholesome romance, I'm absolutely in love with them and I could read 300 pages of them just being domestic

Something about fictional couples who part ways, not having seen eachother or heard from one another in months or years, not even sure whether they'll see the other person again or when, simply hits different for me. You can see both of them thinking about each other every day, missing the other or being reminded of their time together by small things, and—

Some of my panicked (and thirsty) thoughts as I read A Conjuring of Light.

Reading Shades of Magic for the first time, and the main characters meeting is so fucking funny.

She's moved back in with her dad after burning her last house down and stabbing her landlord. He's running from unknown Bad People. She's running from teenagers dressed as a man. He's dying in an alleyway after teleporting. She gives him a hanky and steaks his magic rock. He teleports into her bedroom, demands his special rock back, and passes out. She ties him to the bed that has only been hers again for about an hour. He dramatically uses the tiny bit of magic he has left to set the rope on fire. She learns magic is real and immediately uses the extra special pebble to make a sword, and then a clone of the guy she's just robbed and kidnapped. He gets very upset, and she thinks it's because the clone is putting on a striptease, but it's actually because if the clone is allowed to stand there stripping too long it'll turn evil. He saves her from evil him, then ties her to the wall using the wall, and jumps out of the window. She still thinks she's the one who's been fucked over in this situation.

He's a super magic prince. She's a notorious thief who could have a nice life working at her dad's pub but won't because AdventureTM. They both think they're tough as nails but actually are big dumb bleeding hearts.

They're kinky. They've just met. They're made for eachother.
