I.O.U. One kiss anywhere you like.
Ok so i love them
“Are you sure about this?” I whispered as the crowd muttered and cursed him. “No,” he admitted seriously. “I’m so terrified of what this will mean for you, Blue, but I’m so much more terrified of hurting you. So if you want this, then it’s yours. Besides, now the decision is made, I get to do what I’ve wanted to do since I first laid eyes on you.”
Ive picked a side. The power shaming is stupid. Especially since it was disproved like tf he didnt coerce her
I grabbed my Atlas from the nightstand, typing out a message to Orion but I got distracted as a drumming started up inside my head and I was bathed in the absolute feeling of needing to go somewhere. I just wasn’t sure where that somewhere was…
Is this their divine moment... IS IT?!?!
And as I watched the sky, it started to shift, the heavens rearranging until the Gemini constellation sat right next to the Libra constellation, glittering so brightly it was hard to keep staring.
AH AND I KNOW THEYLL BOTH SAY YES THIS TIME
“Lance Orion and Darcy Vega, stay where you are!” a large man cried, his voice amplified by magic. “You are under arrest by decree of the king.”
Shut up
Were they fucking kidding me right now? Had they been going at it while my father was on his way here to execute them?
No literally baffling
My lady Darcy has had her moment of the divine.
Great sentence ngl
“The stars hid this from me,” he laughed. “I thought your relationship was doomed.” “Thanks for telling us.” Darcy punched his arm and Gabriel chuckled. “I always hoped a new path would arise for you both. I am so damn pleased.”
LMFAO
“You’re losing me,” I admitted, glancing at the squashed cake once more. “Well, one of them has a cake fetish. As in, he doesn’t get hard for anything without a fondant topping. He was finished with that one.” She inclined her head towards the cake and I wrinkled my nose as the hole in the middle of it suddenly made a whole lot of gross sense. “No way.” “Yes way. And I still haven’t gotten revenge on Seth for pissing on me that time. So he has this coming.”
The Kiplings are weird ass mfs
“Because I’m dying, Roxy.”
God fucking damnit
I shook my head as I took another step back, looking at this man I thought I knew so well who lied so fucking easily to me like he was a stranger, because that was what this felt like. The actions of someone I didn’t even know. Or worse than that, the actions of the monster who had always been destined to destroy me in the end.
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
I didn’t fear death. But I did fear a destiny which meant I never got to kiss her goodbye.
Oh no
I’d made this deal for her. She owned me anyway. So why keep fighting against the commands of my queen?
He finally called her a queen. Clock it
Seth had shorn his hair down on the side that Orion had burned, with braids winding across it and through the other side of his hair too. Darcy said he looked like a Viking warrior, whatever the fuck that meant, and despite us mocking him for it, I was pretty sure we all quietly thought it looked damn good on him.
They dont know vikings?
“Is Lionel here?” Tory demanded, a growl to her voice. Her answer came in a bellowing roar from the surface and every Fae in the room looked up, before a swarm of them came running towards us.
Fuck sake
“It’s over. She’s gone. That fucking nightmare is dead,” I sighed.
No way shes actually dead.
From the bottom up, she was remade, her body reforming as the shadows twisted and writhed around her like a living beast and Orion and I backed up in horror as her face was reforged. Dark hair grew out the top of her skull, dancing in the ethereal wind her shadows created and as the darkness cloaked her in a black dress, she looked to me with a vicious sneer on her lips.
I knew it
“The Shadow Beast has taken root in you,”
I knew it was the curse killing those people. Fuck lavinia
Tears ran down my cheeks as I stared at my dear friend Angelica with a sob in my throat like a frog on a lily pad.
NOT ANGELICA
“I do not die in vain! Into the evermore I go - I love you, my lady!” she cried as I closed my teeth around her body, ripping and tearing until her screams were cut off, tossing her away from me like a ragdoll as she left a trail of blood through the dirt then fell into the hole she’d cast to trap me, tumbling away into the dark.
This cant be fucking real.
Lionel’s fucking fan club
Real talk, how nuts are these people to be part of this
“Make that motherfucker scream when he dies,”
Period catalina
Seth fought as they locked his ankles to a set of manacles too and I groaned as the tug of the shadows intensified and they latched onto my magic, using my power to feed their foul mistress. “Looks like I saw you coming after all,” Vard hissed and as he stepped forward to slice a blade along the curve of my wrist, a cry of agony escaped my lips which was torn away from me into the endless sky as my power was taken hostage and I was locked at the mercy of the hateful stars.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
She looked dead and I hesitated for a moment before reaching out to touch her, a sigh of relief tumbling through me as I found a weak pulse.
Oh thank god gerrys not dead
“I should have killed the Vega twins the moment they returned,” he hissed, that hateful look in his eyes never wavering.
As much as i love tory and darcy, why didnt lionel kill them immediately? Hes nuts anyway, this would have been far more strategic
“No son of mine will ever bow to a fucking Vega,” Father snarled, his upper lip curling back as he looked my death in the eyes and claimed it for his own. “I offered you the world and you refused it, so now I'm taking back the privilege I offered you upon your conception. Return to the stars, Darius. Perhaps they’ll be kinder to you in death than they were in life.”
Father of the fucking year
My lips parted on words I couldn’t speak, and the crushing feeling of disappointment filled me as I realised I’d let her down again.
NO DONT SAY THAT
I held on to the love I felt for her as I began to slip out of this world,
Dont tell me hes about to die alone
I shifted the illusion, showing her a life not yet lived. The hopes I had for us, the things I had fought this battle for. She was the dream I had never seen coming, the purpose I’d been searching for. I didn’t want the dreams of the boy I’d lost the day Lionel had bonded me to Darius anymore, I wanted these new dreams that were born from her. I had been dipped in darkness, painted in sin and hardened into something cold and unlovable. And yet she had found some way to love me and I was liberated because of it, rising from that inky blackness I had known for so long, and laid in the sun. But
...more
Love
“Darius,” I rasped, his skin icily cold and the sun steel knife in his chest so fucking deep there was probably nothing left of his heart at all. His eyes were shut, his features still, but even in death he didn’t look restful. Pain splintered through my body like a dagger cutting into my flesh again and again.
He died alone no stop
But I knew deep down that his soul was gone. Stolen away beyond The Veil. I could feel the emptiness of his body and it shattered a piece of my heart that belonged solely to him.
I cant do this
I’m sorry, beautiful. I’ll wait for you in the stars.
Now whyd we say this. I just dried my tears
“I have loved you unconditionally from the moment I first found out I was having you. You are my starlit boy, my light in the dark and I am so endlessly proud of the man you have become, my love,” I said, feeling the cold taste of goodbye on my tongue and knowing it was the only way.
NO PLEASE
“Tell Darius that I love him,” I whispered to Xavier, my heart shattering at the knowledge that I would never see my boys again while the force of Lionel’s magic crashed against our shield with an unrelenting strength. “The two of you made my life complete even when I could never show you how much you meant to me. My love for you never faltered.”
But darius is already dead and xavier wont see him again omfg i cant breathe
He spat a wad of blood in my face, sneering at me as he bound me to him by ropes of air. “You will regret that, oh mighty fucking Seer.”
Why can they never catch a fucking break. Now gabriel and lance are both prisoners. Great.
My fingers brushed against his arm and a sob caught in my throat as I felt the cool metal of the Phoenix Kiss I’d gifted him there, returned to its bangle form following his passage from this world, another nail in the coffin of this unjust destiny.
Im in physical pain
But as I broke over the loss of the only man I’d ever loved, a deep, golden glow appeared before me, forcing me to raise my head and look at the prophecy which was painted for me across the sky.
Fuck your prophecy
