it was in honor of Hollin, of all people.
Wh..who is Hollin again?
If Chaol had been in Dorian’s shoes, he would have winced, but the prince just grinned, took the lady’s hand, and swept her around the floor.
Yeah because dorian isnt a manchild
Celaena wasn’t by the pillar. He stifled a snarl. Tomorrow, they were going to have a nice, long chat about the rules and the consequences
Im begging yall to fight on your own time
“You’re the greatest assassin in Erilea, and yet you can’t stand watch for a few hours?”
*incomprehensible yelling*
“I heard the music and I just wanted to dance for a few minutes. To just … forget everything for one waltz and pretend to be a normal girl.
To forget living in a castle with a puppy cool friends and a magic sewer
Chaol stepped up to the line. “Dance with me,” he said, and held out his hand to her.
Im gonna vom
“As far as I recall,” she said, lifting her chin, “at Yulemas, I asked you to dance, and you flat-out refused me.
Oh my GODDDD shut the fuck up!!
“Dance with me, Celaena,” he said again, his voice rough.
For gods sake Cel take yes for an answer
“We’ll never be a normal boy and girl, will we?” she managed to say. “No,” he breathed, eyes blazing. “We won’t.”
I feel like everyone probably hates yall
In that moment, after ten long years, Celaena looked at Chaol and realized she was home.
?????????
We will always have burdens that no one else can ever understand. That they”—she inclined her head toward Chaol and Celaena—“will never understand. And if they did, then they would not want them.”
YES NEHEMIA DORIAN I CAN SHIP THIS
“I’ve already decided to move on,” Dorian said with equal quiet. It was the truth. He’d awoken this morning feeling lighter than he had in weeks.
Good boy, emotionally inteligent boy
She hadn’t touched the tea the butler had laid out for her on the low-lying marble table, though she’d certainly indulged in two creampuffs
I just *harrumph* want to be a normal girl
And in need of anything to distract her from reliving that dance with Chaol.
Sure. Or you could stop being a fucking idiot and just Like Him
“If your butler doesn’t stop listening at the keyhole, I’m going to cut off his ears and shove them down his throat.”
Weve been given zero reason to believe she is this astute
“Have you told them about your plan to keep me alive?”
CLOCK HER ARCHER
The stone cracked under his hand. Not a small crack, but a spiderweb that kept growing and growing toward the window on the right, until— The window exploded,
OMG MY BABY MAGIC! I thought Nehemia was speaking figuratively
It wasn’t possible. Because magic— Magic … Dorian dropped to his knees and was violently sick.
ITS POSSIBLE BOO
Celaena took a sip of her tea and frowned. “Can’t you hire a servant
Holy fuck cel lmao jfc you suck so bad
she tried yanking her leg back. “It’s true, and you know it, Laena.”
This is an ICKNAME
And maybe it had taken her this long to realize it, but this man—she wanted that life with him.
Sorry how long? Like 6 weeks?
until she appeared with that ridiculous half-eaten cake, which she clearly had plans to devour in private.
I love you dorian but mind your business--
Chaol was backing away, hands raised. “This is a gift for a prince, not—” Dorian clicked his tongue. “Nonsense. I’ll be offended if you don’t accept.”
Dorian giving kale a whole horse is so babygirl
She would die by tomorrow if her wounds were not treated. Even if they were, she’d probably die from infection. Endovier amused itself like that.
“Is that … chocolate cake?” “I thought you might need some.” “Need, not want?”
Well thats cute
Galathynius
I will get used to it like Celaeaeaena eventually but i just gotta say this surname has one too many vowels in it
If the heir of Terrasen, Aelin Galathynius, had lived, would she have become a friend, an ally? His bride, perhaps?
Take it easy Dorian
Aedion Ashryver,
Vowels beating our ass in this series
It was Chaol’s birthday, and he should at least say hello to his friend before Celaena whisked him
Are they friends really? Lol
And maybe he should have told Chaol that he could have her.
Jesus Dorian (it is so clear a woman wrote this lol a guy wouldnt think this much)
but perhaps Baba Yellowlegs had the answers he needed.
Baba yellowlegs is so funny
it seemed like he’d even run a comb through his short hair.
Set that bar high Cel
Chaol surveyed the room, turning in place. “It’s the Fae woman’s garden—from Rena Goldsmith’s song,” he said softly.
Oh okay thats kewt
She’d managed to hire the cook from the Willows for the night—for a fee that had made her consider punching the woman’s throat.
Shes doing SO MUCH
“Stop trying to downplay it. It’s the greatest gift I’ve been given in a long while.”
Thank you for telling her kale lol she is so cocky most of the time but gave herself zero credit for this gift which is stupid
you might think you’re mysterious and brooding and stealthy, Captain, but once you know where to look, you’re a fairly easy book to read.
Yall really are perfect for each other
in the entire castle, in the entire kingdom, there was no one more noble and loyal than him?
Huh?? Cel how do you figure
“I haven’t killed any of the people the king commanded me to assassinate.”
She is TERRIBLE at self preservation oml
“He’ll kill you! He will kill you if he finds out.”
He sure will!
“It’s only a matter of time,” he gritted out. “He has spies who are watching everything.”
He sure does!
“I will not be his butcher.”
That is expressly what you agreed to be
“He will kill you, Celaena.” He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her. “He’ll kill you, and make me do it as punishment for being your friend.”
Magine
“Live my life, I suppose. Live it the way I want to, for once. Learn how to be a normal girl.”
*spit take*
because she was young, and so damn clever and amusing and wonderful,
...clever?
“What about being Captain of the Guard?” “Perhaps my duties aren’t what I expected them to be.”
Most loyal in the kingdom, ladies and gentlemen
hands roving until she moaned and
Cel you both just need to get laid and thats okay! Maybe do that before we make any life decisions
“I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life,” she told him.
I support this. GET IT CEL
And she was pretty certain she’d have to talk to Philippa about a contraceptive tonic
QUICKLY PLEASE
“We can’t tell Dorian,” she said quietly.
Dorian isnt 4
It somehow felt as if it had always been Chaol, even from the very beginning,
Regrettably it obviously was
