Because over my dead body will Keller Fitzwilliam lead Torskethorpe.
WHOSE POV IS THIS??? IS THIS BRIMAR???
“How are you able to be up this early, work out, and still have the energy to deal with me?” “Well.” Runa directs me to the toilet, where I take a seat and do my business. “I don’t stay up all hours of the night with a man.”
why is runa lowkey throwing shade rn
“I believe what Theo is trying to convey is that we would appreciate it if you two, as a couple, practice celibacy until your wedding night.”
they wouldn't last a DAY how they gonna last 4 weeks 💀
“Oh . . . so is he going to ask us if we’ve had sex? Because since we’re being honest, Keller and I have had a lot of sex.”
WHY DID SHE JUST SAY THAT IN FRONT OF HER GRANDPARENTS
SHES STILL GOING
OMFG her grandparents are definitely scared rn
“Sword ceremony?” I ask. “Don’t tell me Keller and I are going to battle it out. Trust me when I say there’ll be bloodshed on his end.” I joust my hand toward Keller, who doesn’t even flinch. “I’m coming for you, you big oaf.” He just stares at me, unmoving.
why is he being npc rn
“No need for the trouble,” Keller says. “Norse Temple will work just fine.”
she just said she wanted the other place....why is he dickriding rn
“And I want to honor the people who raised me, the community who took me in, and the place where . . .” His voice cuts off, and he places his hands on his hips. He clears his throat and says, “This isn’t up for debate. Norse Temple is the obvious choice.”
why he gettin all sassy
“Oh, about what?” Elias asks as Keller angrily sits next to me, but instead of placing his hand on my thigh, he leaves at least a few inches between us.
someones in a pissy mood.
“So then take two steps forward and fall backward.” Keller shakes his head. “Not going to happen.”
why is he still being sassy and difficult
Before I realize I’m making a huge mistake, I scream bloody murder and step to the side, allowing Keller to fall to the floor, landing on his back with a loud plop.
.......damn
his big body probably shook the whole castle
“I need to go.” “Okay. Love—” I don’t get to finish as he hangs up the phone.
WOWWW
“Ew, look, his underwear is showing!” What? And that’s when a breeze blows by my ass. Children scream. Cameras click. Lilly places the children’s book on top of my ass while my hand clenches my thigh.
STOPPP I'M CRYING OMG
“Oh, Jimmy Fallon plays this game on his show.” When Keller and Elias both look at me with odd expressions, I add, “The late-night talk show host . . . really? You don’t know who Jimmy Fallon is?
NOOOO there is no way they dont know who jimmy fallon is 💔💔
“Some, but not everyone. A relationship built on the foundation of sex is much more likely to crumble than one built on friendship and trust.”
Elias lowkey hating rn
“Ten days, Pickering. Ten days and we’ll finally take back what was stolen from us. Torskethorpe belongs to us, and their attempt to bring in an outsider to save their country will blow up in their faces. And soon their farce will come to a rightful end.”
i swear if this is brimar im going to lose it
theres no way he's still upset about all of this
I flip it open and pull out the blue cardstock. Ten days to go. Ten days until we meet again. Ten days until we gain our vengeance.
WHO IS THIS?? it has to be brimar but i feel like its not bc hes in prison
Completely oblivious, Jiminy asks, “How does the waist feel?” He moves his hand across my abdomen and quickly removes his touch, as if I just burned him. “My goodness.” He adjusts the glasses he put on before working on his pinning. “I’ve never seen such a set of abs like this in person.”
JIMMY WANT HIM SO BADDD
“Then what the hell do we do?” Theo thinks on it for a moment, pinching his brow. After a few seconds, he says, “IVF or sperm donation.”
or a turkey baster!
Keller: Where are you? Lilly: In my room. Just got changed and I’m about to watch some Harry Styles concert videos. What are you doing?
what a wonderful way to WASTE YOUR TIME. fuck harry styles
Rounding the car, he opens the back passenger door, revealing a bronze god. Timmy Tuna.
TIMMMYYY TUNAAAA 😛😛
“Not if we sneak out,” Timmy says. “Timmy, we can’t sneak out.” “Are you saying it’s physically impossible, or it’s not allowed? Because I could tell you right now these walls have some secret passages, so I bet we could easily sneak out.”
this is why i love timmy tuna
“Damn right you weren’t thinking.” I rest my hands on my hips, my stomach twisting, knotting together, making me feel so goddamn nauseous that I need to take a second to breathe through the heaviness in my chest.
keller is being sassy again 😒
Lara: Don’t be too hard on her, Keller. Keller: Don’t tell me how to handle my girl. Good night.
the way he just shut her down, he is so pissed and sassy rn
“Keller?” Lilly says from the bathroom door. I glance over my shoulder where she stands in only a nightgown. “What are you doing?” “What does it look like I’m doing?” I ask.
HE NEEDS TO DROP THE SASSINESS
“I know it will,” I answer. “And then Arkham will finally be in control, like it should have been all along.”
who. is. this. maybe its not brimar. he may hate kellar but i dont think he would go against his country like that
“Are you going to kiss me goodbye?” she asks. Fuck, right.
COME ON KELLER HOW U SLIP UP LIKE THAT
“One of the guards was at the Crowned Cod last night and overheard someone talking about planting a bomb on the parade route,
A BOMB? WHAT THE FUCK?
With a pleased smile, Katla says, “It’s tradition that the women of the family wash down the bride the night before the wedding. This is to scrub the virginity off you so you’re ready for your new husband.”
yeah sorry but you will never catch me stripping down in front of people i just met.
“No, dear. A bathing suit awaits you. We just shower you with love, some essential oils, and then we will braid your hair while we chat. Runa has left a wonderful spread of crackers, cheese, and fruit for us to munch on as well.”
THANK GOD i was so nervous for her for a sec
And then, in an instant, a cold, metal barrel is placed against my temple and the sound of a gun cocking back rings through my ear. Fuck.
WHY MEGHAN QUINN WHY WHY WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS 💔
“This will detonate a bomb right outside the princess’s window, blowing up her room in seconds. Your choice.”
SAY YOUR LYING
THIS IS A FUCKING PRANK
“Holy shit,” I mutter quietly, blinking a few times. I’m getting married today.
no ur not bc ur husband IS BEING KIDNAPPED.
I start with one hundred in the morning, finish the night with another hundred. I also work on wall sits to keep my legs strong, do squats, lunges, and shadow boxing. Luckily, they didn’t bind my legs together. Instead, they put a shackle on each ankle chained to the wall, offering me plenty of slack.
HE HAS A DAILY WORKOUT ROUTINE EVEN THOUGH HES KIDNAPPED . I AM CRYING. that is one strong man
“And then you fold just like that,” Chef Martin says. He’s been giving us step-by-step instructions on how to make butternut squash ravioli.
yummy
Two and a Half Months Post Intended Wedding Day
keller is suffering 🙁
Oh, and I miss Target.” “What’s Target?” he asks, nearly stabbing me right in the heart. Who doesn’t know what a Target is? Good God.
imagine a life without target
As much as it pains me to say . . . I don’t think he’s coming back.” “How do you know?” I ask, feeling my heart in my throat. “Because.” Her eyes meet mine. “The first time you two were separated, he checked on you every day, if not multiple times a day. This time . . . I haven’t heard one thing.” She shakes her head. “Not one damn thing.”
i feel like this should indicate that something is wrong. the clues are there and they all know that keller would never just disappear like that. his loyalty to lily and toresktheope runs deep and theo, katla, and lara have known him for so long. they should know something is off. but no, they r just being silly rn
Which means one thing. I need to find out how to contact Evan, the future lord of the Sotherbys.
no you don't. pls PKEASE don't contact him
Lilly: Hey Evan, it’s Lilly. I pulled rank and got your number. I hope that’s okay.
NOOOOOOO
I’m still in love with Keller.
Evan: Pulling rank to get my phone number? I’m honored. Also . . . feeling slightly stalked. [Emoji: winking, tongue out]
shut up ur cringe
“This is crazy. I mean, I just got left at the altar, and here I am, going out to lunch with another man. People are going to think I’m a floozy. Am I a floozy?”
yes, you are very much floozy
Today is the day. Today, I’m getting the fuck out of here.
YOU GOT THIS KELLER
I cover his mouth with my hand to muffle any sound he makes, and with one quick yank, I snap his neck, rendering him dead on the spot.
OMFG WHAT IS THIS VAMPIRE SHIT
HE JUST KILLED HIM
that's impressive
Marit: Have you kissed him? Isabella: Have you? Lying in bed, I stare down at my phone, excited to catch up with my cousins. Lilly: No. I think he knows that I’m still trying to recover from the whole wedding debacle, so he’s been very respectful.
Nobody cares about Evan hes a monkey
Fear bursts through my mind, and as my hands are being tied together, I try to scream again, but this time, a cloth is placed over my nose, and that’s all I remember before everything goes black.
Jesus
KELLER WAS SO CLOSE 💔💔
“You fucking retained nothing when I trained you.” My body stills. My heart stops. And the blood in my veins freezes over. Keller?
KELLER KELLER OMG OMG KELLER
Why did I think when I saw her, everything would be okay? Why did I actually, momentarily think she wouldn’t believe the letter that was left on my desk the night before the wedding, that she’d give me the benefit of the doubt? Fucking naive. So fucking naive.
i dont know keller, how about you explain?
