Gavriel.”
HOF - My love
“You left me,” she repeated. Maybe it was only out of blind terror at the abyss opening up again around her, but she whispered, “I have no one left. No one.”
I’m crying
“There is nothing that I can give you. Nothing I want to give you. You are not owed an explanation for what I do outside of training. I don’t care what you have been through or what you want to do with your life. The sooner you can sort out your whining and self-pity, the sooner I can be rid of you. You are nothing to me, and I do not care.”
This one is so savage tbh
“What are you doing?” “What?” Emrys didn’t raise his voice as he said, “To that girl. What are you doing that makes her come in here with such emptiness in her eyes?”
HOF - I’m actually sobbing tbh
“I see her slipping away, bit by bit, because you shove her down when she so desperately needs someone to help her back up.”
HOF - Rowan getting called out by an old man is necessary
Fireheart—why do you cry? “Because I am lost,” she whispered onto the earth. “And I do not know the way.”
AELIN 😭
“Maybe we could find the way back together.”
Yes
“Together,” she said, and took his outstretched hand. And somewhere far and deep inside her, an ember began to glow.
They are everything to me
“You cannot pick and choose what parts of her to love.”
HOF - Dorian is the smartest boy
Curled as she was against her knees, he could see the whole expanse of ruined flesh, each scar from the lashings. “Who did that do to you?”
HOF - in love
Maeve had lied.
HOF - yeah bud sorry
“You’re staying with me from now on.”
HOF - *cries impatiently*
Something molten rushed through her, pouring over every crack and fracture still left gaping and open. Not to hurt or mar—but to weld. To forge.
HOF - Best friends
“You are one of the Thirteen,” she said to him. “From now until the Darkness cleaves us apart. You are mine, and I am yours. Let’s show them why.”
Ily Abraxos
And when the conductor raised his arms, it was not a symphony that filled the cavernous space. It was the Song of Eyllwe. Then the Song of Fenharrow. And Melisande. And Terrasen. Each nation that had people in those labor camps. And finally, not for pomp or triumph, but to mourn what they had become, they played the Song of Adarlan. When the final note finished, the conductor turned to the crowd, the musicians standing with him. As one, they looked to the boxes, to all those jewels bought with the blood of a continent. And without a word, without a bow or another gesture, they walked off the

HOF - devastating
I will follow you to whatever end.”
HOF - I cry
“Fireheart.”
Screaming
“Goldryn.”
HOF - HELL YEAH BABY
Rowan’s friends had come. Good.
HOF - GOOD
Fireheart—that you are safe, and it is the strength of this”—she placed a hand on her heart—“that matters.
HOF - Sobbing
“Eyllwe,” Chaol breathed. “Send word to Eyllwe. Tell them to hold on—tell them to prepare.” Perhaps it was the light, perhaps it was the cold, but Aedion could have sworn there were tears in the captain’s eyes as he said, “Tell them it’s time to fight back.”
HOF - my loves
“Sacred only because of the bearer who established your kingdom. But before that, it was nothing. Brannon was born with the bastard’s mark—the mark every unclaimed, unwanted child possessed, marking them as nameless, nobody. Each of Brannon’s heirs, despite their noble lineage, has since been graced with it—the nameless mark.”
HOF - EEEEEEK
“Together, Fireheart,”
My loveeeee
“You want a spy? You want a traitor?” the general drawled, and flung his replicated black ring on the floor. “Then here I am. You want to know why the captain and I were meeting? It was because your stupid bastard of a boy-captain figured out that I’d been working with one of the rebels. He’s been blackmailing information out of me for months to give to his father to offer you when the Lord of Anielle needed a favor. And you know what?” Aedion grinned at them all, the Northern Wolf incarnate. If the king was shocked about the ring, he didn’t show it. “All you monsters can burn in hell. Because

HOF - GET IT
“I prayed for two things. I asked her to ensure you survived the encounter with Maeve—to guide you and give you the strength you needed.” That strange, comforting warmth, that presence that had reassured her … the setting sun kissed her cheeks as if in confirmation, and a shiver went down her spine. “And the second?” “It was a selfish wish, and a fool’s hope.” She read the rest of it in his eyes. But it came true.
HOF - ROWAN MY LOVE
Aelin Galathynius was ready for bloodshed.
QOS - YES FIRE BREATHING BITCH QUEEN
“Because I loved him very much.”
QOS - Lysandra and Wesley were robbed
“I understand, Celaena, I do. But I am begging you: read that letter. For him.”
QOS - my heart hurts so bad for Lysandra
Nehemia would have done the same.
QOS - the Nehemia/Lysandra comparison hurts
“If you have need of me, just call for Elide. The guards will know where to find me.”
QOS - ily Elide
But anyone with witch-blood in their veins was worth keeping an eye on. Or Thirteen.
QOS - WITCH BLOOD
“You bring my court into this, Chaol,” Aelin said with lethal softness, “and I don’t care what you were to me, or what you have done to help me. You betray them, you hurt them, and I don’t care how long it takes, or how far you go: I’ll burn you and your gods-damned kingdom to ash. Then you’ll learn just how much of a monster I can be.”
QOS - he deserves to be threatened tbh
Aedion Ashryver was ready to die.
QOS - pls don’t
He had sobbed with relief when she trapped it and raised an ancient blade over his head.
QOS All of chapter 21 is heart breaking. Sweet Dorian wasn’t made for this
“I missed you,” she whispered onto him, breathing in his scent—that male warrior’s scent she was just learning, remembering. “Every day, I missed you.” Her skin grew damp beneath his face. “Never again,” he promised.
QOS - babies back together
“Ansel of Briarcliff,”
QOS - sneaky
“Blue,” she whispered. “My blood runs blue.”
QOS - Love you Elide. My fave witchling
“Rowan Whitethorn is a legend.
QOS - yes
At least he couldn’t hate himself any more than he already did.
QOS - as you should tbh
She loosed a shuddering breath, and a small, whimpering noise came out of her—a sob.
ME TOO
And then she was sprinting down the alley, flying as though the winds themselves pushed at her heels.
I like to think this Rowan had just a lil magic and helped
She flung herself on the male, crashing into him hard enough that anyone else might have gone rocking back into the stone wall.
Bc my girl is so strong and happy
But the male grabbed her to him, his massive arms wrapping around her tightly and lifting her up.
I missed my friend Rowan so much. I’m so glad he’s back and he’s with Aelin again
Nesryn made to approach, but Aedion stopped her with a hand on her arm.
Pls don’t interrupt
Aelin was laughing as she cried, and the male was just holding her, his hooded head buried in her neck. As if he were breathing her in. “Who is that?” Nesryn asked. Aedion smiled. “Rowan.”
R O W A N
“Aedion, meet Rowan. Rowan, meet Aedion. His Highness needs a bath or I’ll vomit if I have to sit next to him for more than a minute.”
QOS - disgustingly sweet
“Your mothers were cousins, Prince, but who sired you?” Aedion lounged in his chair. “Does it matter?” “Do you know?” Rowan pressed. Aedion shrugged. “She never told me—or anyone.” “I’m guessing you have some idea?” Aelin asked. Rowan said, “He doesn’t look familiar to you?” “He looks like me.” “Yes, but—” He sighed. “You met his father. A few weeks ago. Gavriel.”
QOS - Shaken to my core
Rowan said, “I’m blood-sworn to you—which means several things, one of which being that I don’t particularly care for the questioning of others, even your cousin.” The words echoed in his head, his heart. Blood-sworn.
QOS - oh no
“If you’re a monster, I’m a monster,”
QOS - yes baby boy
“You’re a menace.”
QOS - I wish Rowan would call me a menace
