“In fact, once I have retaken my throne, you will not have to do anything if you do not wish it. If you desire to sit in some corner of the castle hunched over your books and notepaper, bestirring yourself only to demand a tour of some brownie market or bogle den, then it will be done."
I let out a trembling breath. "And what sort of queen would that make me?"

“The day I after I graduated as the top student of Seamere, I received the formalized offer to join the Ministry. The same offer that is extended to the top student every single year. The job I’d been working toward for seven fucking years.
And, very politely, I’d thanked them for their consideration… and respectfully declined.
I declined it because I have a new focus now: to infiltrate the Void again and rescue Harrisford Briggs. The man who, according to his oldest friend, loves me— even though he’d never worked up the courage to say it. The man who chose to sacrifice himself so the rest of us could escape. So that I escape.
Now, with hindsight, I can appreciate it with burning clarity. The way he’d tried, using several approaches, to convince me to save myself. And when I didn’t agree, well. He made the decision for me.
The man who, once I figure out how to find and remove his Source, I still hope to go in and rescue, and bring him home.”
― Keshe Chow, Strange Familiars

“House makes things that look like clocks and then enchants them to work. I am not surprised if the timing was peculiar. Whereas I make things that are actually clockwork.”

― T.Kingfisher

“The night sky was an enchanting sight, that left Esme standing in awe. Between the chilly night air, the frosty environment, and the endless rows of snowmen, which were recently built by the families visiting the inn, Esme felt like she was stuck in-between the pages of a romantic winter-liked fairy tale.”
― Kristina Stangl, The Heartless Villainess

“Unbeknownst to Kit and Esme, fate was actually playing a trick on them, too. For Ella was no ordinary employee. She was in fact, a cupid in disguise.

Their match would ultimately prove to be…

A villainous ever after.”

“In diesem Moment wurde mir etwas überaus Wichtiges, etwas Umwerfendes klar. Aiden konnte mir ruhig erzählen, dass er nicht genauso empfand wie ich. Er konnte Tag und Nacht gegen das Gefühl ankämpfen, das uns verband. Von nun an bis in alle Ewigkeit konnte er meinetwegen Lügen erzählen. Es spielte keine Rolle. Ich würde immer, immer wissen, dass es anders war. Selbst wenn wir räumlich getrennt waren, wenn ein Dutzend Regeln aufgestellt würden, die uns auf Abstand hielten., selbst wenn wir nie zusammen sein könnten, ich würde es immer wissen. Und Götter, ich liebte ihn – liebte ihn so sehr. Daran würde sich nie etwas ändern. Ich war mir über so vieles unsicher, besonders momentan, aber das wusste ich.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“And when I strip away the last maroon bands—
Every eye widens.
Not because I stand exposed.
But because dense, dark magic pours over my skin, cloaking me
like living shadow.
A second skin woven from night.
The air shifts.
A tongue clicks behind me.
That sound.
It trails down my spine like a caress.
“Cariad.” Kol’s voice is low, threaded with danger. “I don’t enjoy others looking at what’s mine.”
My heart gives one hard, traitorous beat.
“And you are.”
― Aella Blake, Darkash

“You’re rewriting history,” I tell him. “We hated each other.”
“Fine line,” he says.
“Between love and hate?”
Penn’s eyes spark. “Who said anything about love?”
He smiles and my stomach flips, and I may as well be the thirteen-year-old girl who wrote out this future, because when Penn’s lips crash into mine, my whole body comes alive, like I’m being kissed for the first time. He tastes like spearmint and smells like citrus, and he lets out the softest, sexiest sound as my hands slide into his hair. I feel it, then: the heat of electricity. What must be the magic working its tricks.”
― Laura Marie Meyers, The MASH Up

“I didn't know what to make, and I didn't want to wake you." He slides the tray onto the mattress beside me and sits on the bed. "So I just kept cooking."
Eggs, bacon, toast. Sliced avocado. A pile of banana pancakes. A bowl of berries. A ramekin full of butter. Another full of syrup. "This is an entire breakfast menu," I marvel. "The Cheesecake Factory of breakfasts."
"Ah, that's what I forgot." Penn clicks his tongue in feigned disappointment. "Dessert."
"Did you, though?" I slant him a look, and his eyes flash.”
― Laura Marie Meyers, The MASH Up

“In MASHland, I pursued Penn to win and escape. Now I’m playing a different kind of game— the long game. And as I tell myself many, many times a day, being Penn’s friend while managing the lovesick gremlin inside my heart is better than sharing nothing at all.”
― Laura Marie Meyers, The MASH Up
