“I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together—knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.”
You know what? Hell yeah
“You aren’t a flower, you’re every blossom in the wood blooming at once. You are a tidal wave. You’re a stampede. You are overwhelming.”
:’) Nina and Matthias forever
There is no one I want more; there is nothing I want more than to be overwhelmed by you.”
Screaming into a pillow
Nina had grieved for her loss of power, for the connection she’d felt to the living world. She’d resented this shadow gift. It had seemed like a sham, a punishment. But just as surely as life connected everything, so did death. It was that endless, fast-running river. She’d dipped her fingers into its current, held the eddy of its power in her hand. She was the Queen of Mourning, and in its depths, she would never drown.
MY QUEEN
“I have been made to protect you. Even in death, I will find a way.” He clasped her hand tighter. “Bury me so I can go to Djel. Bury me so I can take root and follow the water north.”
No <3
“I promise, Matthias. I’ll take you home.” “Nina,” he said, pressing her hand to his heart. “I am already home.”
I sick to my stomach<3
They were twin souls, soldiers destined to fight for different sides, to find each other and lose each other too quickly.
This was so sick and twisted. TAKE IT BACK BARDUGO.
“In the next life then,” she whispered.
No <3
Matthias was dreaming again. Dreaming of her. The storm raged around him, drowning out Nina’s voice. And yet his heart was easy. Somehow he knew that she would be safe, she would find shelter from the cold. He was on the ice once more, and somewhere he could hear the wolves howling. But this time, he knew they were welcoming him home.
That’s fucking enough <3
Inej felt him slipping away, dragged under, caught in an undertow that would take him farther and farther from shore. She understood suffering and she knew it was a place she could not follow, not unless she wanted to drown too.
Inej is like I can prob fix him but I don’t want to<3 and honestly? Good for her
She would fight for him, but she could not heal him. She would not waste her life trying.
period!!!!!!!
