Kindle Notes & Highlights
This bastard would shit himself if he realized he had the Saeris Fane in his grasp.
Sometimes, objects shook around me. Objects made of iron, tin, or gold.
“I never met a rule I didn’t wanna break, Sunshine.”
Ehehe
“Or maybe,” he said, swirling the ale around in his glass, “I knew if I messed with Hayden, I’d get to see you. And maybe that was an opportunity too good to pass up.”
Eheheh
Gifts that had long since been lost to us.
It was all luck. Good or bad. And luck could change at any moment.
I would fix it, the way I fixed everything.
“My hand! She… she cut off my… hand!” “I’m coming for your fucking head next,” I seethed.
We’re being slowly and methodically poisoned because we don’t matter. Because we ask questions. Because we say no.
We’ve been reduced to embers, yes, but the coals that lie beneath the ash of my ward are still hot enough to burn. Do you know much about metalwork, Captain? I do. It’s under the most unbearable conditions that the sharpest, most dangerous weapons are forged. And we are dangerous, Captain. She’s turned us all into weapons. That is why she won’t suffer my people to live.”
“It was the Fae, wasn’t it?” she hissed. “They’ve found a way through. They’ve come for me at last?”
We take more than we’re given, or we die. It’s an easy decision. You’d do the same if it meant the difference between life and death.”
“One last, really good scream for the queen, and we’ll have you on your way, all right?”
“Let’s be done with it, then,” a small voice whispered in the back of my quieting mind.
“This is the part where… you scream… Captain.”
“Graceless gods,” he hissed. “What’s this? A fucking joke?”
Lmfaoooo
“Ahh. Saeris. A pretty name. A Fae name.
“The Bitch Queen put an end to your home and all who resided in it.”
The bitch queen lol
“She must have a drop of Fae blood,” a deep voice murmured. “Enough to stop Solace from burning off her hands. But not enough to matter.”
“An Oshellith is a type of butterfly,” he called as he went. “Osha for short. They hatch, live, and die all in one day. The cold kills them very fast.
“Enjoy your dusty books, human. I’ll be waiting for you in the forge this afternoon. Don’t make me come looking for you.”
There had once been three branches of Alchemists—Fae who sought to discover the path to immortality, Fae who sought to create and invent by transmuting various metals and ores, and lastly, Fae who sought to cure illness and disease.
“Next time you’re curious about me, feel free to ask me,” Kingfisher said
Okie hehe
“Maybe the issue is that you asked me a question about my cock like a hungry little bitch in heat and didn’t ask me something that mattered.”
JEEZ
She’d squawked when he’d thrown me unceremoniously down onto my bed and snarled, “Bad human,” at me.
Heat rose up from the pit of my stomach, my blood rushing to my cheeks. Kingfisher’s gaze snapped up, singling in on mine. “Careful, human. We Fae have an excellent sense of smell. You’d be amazed what we can scent floating on the air.”
“Holy gods and martyrs!” My
Yo????
“Nothing at all? I like the sound of that. Come here and look at this, Nothing At All.”
OH! Holy gods!”
Plz stop
Do you have any idea what those boots cost me?” “Let me guess. Your virginity.” “Fuck you, Fisher.”
Ok that was rude
“If you want it, come here and touch it,” he rumbled.
trying not to think about the fact that the shining metal wasn’t wet with water but with Kingfisher’s sweat. I could smell him.
Jesus
“We can hear each other’s heartbeats.” Out of nowhere, he grabbed me by the wrist. I tensed, jolting, but he didn’t hurt me. He took the pendant, lifting it, placing the metal between his teeth, holding it out of the way as he moved my hand to the center of his chest. “Feel that?” he asked,
EXCUSE ME
I hear it bouncing around all over the place when you look at me. Did you know that?”
“I don’t hate your kind. I’m just disappointed by how breakable you are. If I held you down and fucked you the way I’m imagining fucking you right now, I doubt that you’d survive it.”
EXCUSE ME
“It’s beating fast because I’m afraid,” I snapped. “Of me?” Kingfisher huffed a blast of laughter down his nose. “No, you’re not. You should be, but you’re not. That’s one of the things I like most about you.”
“Aren’t you curious? Don’t you want to know what I taste like?”
SIR????
What the hell was I thinking?
PRECISELY
Fisher grinned so hard that a small dimple appeared, forming a deep groove in his cheek.
Okk cute
“I’m hurt. Leaving without saying goodbye?”
“This is not my brother, Fisher. This is Carrion fucking Swift!”
Lmfao
My home was up there. Amongst the stars. I gaped at the pinpricks of twinkling light, wondering if any of them were my suns.
He twisted around in his saddle, a ruinous smirk dancing at the corners of his mouth. “How hard my what, human?”
“I’m not… I’m just…” His eyes were distant. “That was a long time ago. That person doesn’t exist anymore.”
Other than that, the Third continues as it always has without you. Imagine that. The world, audacious enough to carry on without Saeris Fane.”
Lol
“You’re free to come and go as you wish, boy. Do whatever the hell you like. Though, I doubt you’re gonna get very far with only one boot.”
Bro
When I asked him how I was supposed to glean any useful information from them when none of his own kind had been successful in doing so, he muttered something about using my initiative and left the forge in a cloud of black smoke.
Lol
Here. Here. I’m here, the quicksilver whispered in its singular voice. Alone. Alone. Come to me. Find me. Be with me.
“Fisher’s very single-minded sometimes. There’s no gray. Only black and white. I fear that part of him has only gotten worse while he’s been away. He has to keep things very straight in his mind, otherwise lines get blurred.
A massive floral centerpiece with purple and pink blooms sat in the dead center of the table, and it was beautiful, it really was, but I couldn’t even see Fisher around it. Maybe that was the point.
Lol
