Reverence

by Milena McKay

Her back turned to him, Vyatka was in the middle of fixing a ribbon on her slipper when he placed a hand on her waist and tried to pull her up and closer to him.

Oh so he totally deserved it ok

I fear my mere presence is displeasing enough to them. A woman existing independently of their rule is an insult to them.”

Yk what hell yeah

Katarina exhaled and then, in very clear, perfect if quiet English, without the barest of accents, uttered four words. “I wish to defect.”

AAA YES

She remembered the regimented buildings, all alike, square and boxy, concrete slabs standing huddled together in exacting neighborhoods. Rows and rows of the identical structures lining the equally similar streets.

The fact that "marche slave" just came on shuffle is fitting lmao

Plus, you two are already wearing each other’s clothes. How much more lesbian do you want this entire experience to get?”

crying lmao

Katarina, smile still on, a rarity that had the whole room staring at her, simply lifted Juliette’s chin and held it up with two fingers before whispering, “Never let them see you down. Sensing weakness, they will stomp you into the ground.”

AAAAAA CHIN LIFT

“Well, turns out she did need help with her shoes, Madame Bianchi.”

Dude whos in on this

It was time to let them all know that hunting season on Juliette Lucian-Sorel is over.”

I LOVE HER

Katarina grabbed her by the open collar of her blouse and their mouths met in a kiss that Juliette could only describe as violent.

YESSSSS

Juliette was in love. And she was about to break every heart in this room, including her own.

AAAAAAAA

Through it all, Katarina was her rock.

So why am i sobbing rn

I loved you, Katarina Vyatka. I deserved a gentler goodbye from you.”

Just shoot me instead

“What am I going to do, Jett? I’m sick… What the fuck am I going to do?”

Hi so i hate this

“You’ve been grieving someone who’s very much alive, Jett. Are you sure the wake you’ve been holding for years isn’t for your own heart?”

Jail.

“I’m sorry, ma’am. There’s no need to rush anymore.”

WTF JAIL JAIL JAIL

“To the ends of the earth, sweetheart. To the moon and back.”

SOBBING

“Gabrielle.”

AAAA YES
