This may seem like an odd question (and I apologize in advance) but does the Darkling sleep? For some reason he just strikes me as the type of guy whose always awake/alert and ready for anything. I was wondering if he even needed to sleep since he's basica
Possibly my favorite ask thus far. *places crown on anon’s head*
Weirdly enough, I kind of answer this question in Siege and Storm.
Kind of.
If after you’ve read that, you still want more, I promise to clarify :)

I think you guys should drop everything and read "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo.
So freakin GOOOOOD. I finished it in 2 days and now I face the same predicament I had when I finished Veronica Roth’s Insurgent:
I need to wait months for the next book Q~Q
A wise course of action (in my completely unbiased opinion) <3

Crucify (Tori Amos)- Every finger...
Crucify (Tori Amos)- Every finger in the room /is pointing at me /I wanna spit in their faces /Then I get afraid of what that could bring /I got a bowling ball in my stomach /I got a desert in my mouth /Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now
Follow Me (Iwan Rheon)- Set off tomorrow well I wish you well/With your handful of wild flowers on the road to hell/Follow me I say hold my hand/Follow me to this righteous land /Set off tomorrow on the road to hell/With a picture in your pocket of the wishing well
I Need Some Sleep (The Eels)- I need some sleep/It can’t go on like this/I tried counting sheep/But there’s one I always miss/Everyone says I’m getting down too low/Everyone says you just gotta let it go/You just gotta let it go/You just gotta let it go
Radioactive (Imagine Dragons)- I’m waking up to ash and dust/I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust/I’m breathing in the chemicals
/I’m breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus/This is it, the apocalypse/Whoa/I’m waking up, I feel it in my bones/Enough to make my systems blow
Angel With A Shotgun (The Cab)- Get out your guns, battles begun,are you a saint, or a sinner?/If loves a fight, than I shall die,with my heart on a trigger./They say before you start a war,you better know what you’re fighting for./Well baby, you are all that I adore,if love is what you need, a soldier I will be.
Little Deschutes (Laura Veirs)I want nothing more/Than to float with you/Paddling through the hail storm/Clothes ravaged, the leaves all torn/A part of me was born/Why care about yesterday’s haze/When the stars above are all ablaze/Why care about the coming dawn/When the moon pours now searchlight strong
Tongue Tied (Iwan Rheon)-I know these wrongs don’t make it right girl, but I know I will look on and admire./ So I will watch you here tonight girl, brighter and more like the embers of our fire./ But I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m tired of being tongue tied.
The Lost Loves (Young Heretics)- What happened to all the love/That got left behind/By the bodies who made the love/But who could not withstand time/Who’s counting up the nights/Where love got pushed aside/Oh the lovers loose the daylight/When there is nowhere safe to hide/The harder we fight/The violent it seems/We are not to young to die/But we are all too vain to see
Cyanide Sun (H.I.M)- Should’ve known how hard it is to stop tearing each other apart/Separating souls entwined with all these labyrinthine lies/I am dead to you, a shadow doomed/My love, forever in the dark/And of all untruths the truest is you/Too close to my heart
Never Forever (Elysion)- I’m standing alone in the rain /Facing the fear within/Inside nothing but pain /Whispering those words /Once again inside nothing but /Endless dark
Tear The World Down (We Are The Fallen)- Time and time again/Take it all and take the fall for you./Fear is all I hold/Bound and beaten down
All the pain I can’t escape today/Is always with me/My loveless life/I’m lost in you tonight/Waiting for you to turn around/Only to tear the whole world down./My darkest night/Your arms that hold me tight/Waiting for you to turn around
I Will Follow You into the Dark (Death Cab for Cutie)- Love of mine some day you will die/But I’ll be close behind/I’ll follow you into the dark/No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white/Just our hands clasped so tight/Waiting for the hint of a spark/If Heaven and Hell decide/That they both are satisfied/Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs/If there’s no one beside you/When your soul embarks/Then I’ll follow you into the dark
Embarrassed by how few of these songs I recognize. But so much delicious music to check out when this draft is done! 1

Looking at Genya in her white and gold kefta, I wasn’t quite convinced. I’d lived at Keramzin for most of my life, but I’d never felt I belonged there. And even after a year, the same had been true for the King’s Army. The only place I’d ever felt I belonged was with Mal, and even that hadn’t lasted. For all her beauty, maybe Genya and I weren’t so different after all.” - Shadow and Bone
ahhhhh!! love this edit. high on drama and focuses on the friendship between Genya and Alina.
