    Summary

    “By Djel,” utters the hunter, taking several paces back. Nina inhales a breath, and there’s another scent in the air, mingled with the fire and her own. It’s earthy, deep, she wants to bury her face in it, breathe in, and let it take over. The scent is him.

    Summary

    Nina Zenik has spent six months working at the House of the White Rose, waiting for Kaz Brekker to help her get Matthias Helvar out of Hellgate. She has been patient. She has kept up her part of the deal. But enough is enough; her debt to the Fjerdan witch-hunter cannot go unpaid any longer.

    Which is to say: Nina breaks Matthias out of prison. Then things get interesting.

    She rolls her hips up, just a little bit. He bites back another sound, his breathing heavy and uneven.

    “Stop it.” he gets out.

    “You say I’m not a woman, but I doubt you’ve ever known a woman. Not truly.” She hitches a thigh around his hips, pressing him even closer. His hands tighten around her wrists. “Pretty, untouched Drüskelle,” she croons in his ear.

    Kate - Intelligent, No-Nonsense, Just a Little Bit Sly (and Really Good Fun, of Course)
    ~ crabbyturtle

    -----

    "It’s Not the Eyes That Meet but the Souls That Dance."

    Right foot forward, to the side. Left foot back, to the side.
    "Too long it’s been! How long now, my love? I know it has been an eternity for me.
    You are never to leave this long again; I can hardly breathe without you.
    You think this has been easy for me!? At least you have had the children… I have had nothing but your memory, my love."

    "Colin and Penelope sat entirely too close together, seeming as though they would perish were they to speak to anyone else but each other."

    "Newton is an excellent judge of character.” Anthony’s tone was as flat as paper.

    "Anthony crouched to Newton’s level prompting the little beast to plant his stubby legs on Anthony’s thighs and lick at his face."

    Newton had picked the little one up by the scruff of his neck and was carrying the baby towards Anthony.
    "That is puppy A; first pup born out of the 8. A all the way down to-”
    “H.” Anthony finished for him, staring down quizzically at Newton.

    "You know I hate when you spend money on me.”
    “And you know I love spending money on you. It’s a win-win! I can needle you to no end and spoil you the way you deserve.”

    “You cannot protect me from everything, Anthony. You cannot protect me from being tired. You cannot protect me from my back being sore. And you most definitely cannot deliver the baby for me.”
    “I would take it all from you in a heartbeat.” He brought his forehead down to rest against her.
    “May I tell you a secret?”
    “I wouldn’t let you. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. I love bearing your children, Anthony Bridgerton.”

    “I’ll deal!” Miles exclaimed, snatching the deck from his brother.
    “You need sedation,” Edmund muttered under his breath.

    “When do you think they will notice we’ve left the game?”
    “Once they have run out of cards and one of them has been proclaimed the winner.”

    memento mori
    ~ wagamiller

    ☆☆☆☆☆

    Death is final. Finite.
    And yet it never, ever seems to end.

    The chill that sweeps over Anthony is so sudden, so absolute, that he finds himself looking towards the front doors, expecting to see that someone has just opened them. But of course they’re closed. It’s him that’s wide open, bleeding his heart out all over the scrubbed wooden floors.

    It’s a surprise, after all these months, to discover that his heart retains the capacity to break. He didn’t think there were any pieces left intact to snap.

    "I do not need either of you to look after me. I only need you to lose.”
    - Daphne

    Strangely, Anthony finds himself imagining his wife among the players. Laughing at the grass stains on Benedict’s knees. Giggling with Eloise. Prompting him for stories of his childhood, until those years — and that boy — don’t feel so far out of reach after all.
    ~
    And when the fun is over, and his feet begin to carry him towards the woods, she falls into step at his side. He can almost hear the whisper of her skirts across the forest floor. She doesn’t mind the dirt.
    ~
    Still, when he emerges from the trees and sees the pale grey stone of his father’s monument, it’s her hand he reaches for. His fingers flex and then fall, catching only air

    If Kate levelled a gun at his heart, he’d let her shoot.
    And he’d love her through the bleeding.

     

    “I notice when your mind wanders. Did you really think I would not notice you leave a room?”
    - Kate

    “I do not believe there is a world where we do not find each other.”
    “That is a pretty thought, but I am not sure I agree. I think perhaps there is only this world where we find each other. The one where you take that exact route through the woods. And I get lost on my way home.”
    “So you admit it now, you were lost that day?”
    “Found, really.”
    - Anthony & Kate

    “I should not have snapped at you the way I did. It was unconscionable. Please forgive me. My mind was stuck on another matters entirely and—”
    “You mean you did not really bite my head off simply because I forgot to tell you your Aunt Billie is coming for dinner this evening? You do surprise me.”
    - Anthony & Kate

    “Edmund Anthony.”
    “What—”
    “Edmund, Anthony. For the man you adored. And the man I adore.”
    - Kate & Anthony

    He wakes to a threat. “Nelson gave me three minutes to rouse you pleasantly, before he takes over with a saucepan and a wooden spoon.”

    She reaches up a hand, patting him in the vague area of his head. “You are terribly important. I know.”

    Summary

    Her days are all Anthony now, all smiles and promenades and quiet, peaceful rides in the sun, leaving no room for any thought except how right it feels, to look at her day and see the shape of his too, neatly intertwined.

    -- a slice of life, betrothal era.

    the curricle & the boat
    ~ wagamiller

    Quotes:

    "They will not know that when Anthony releases her hand, dragging his middle finger slowly down her palm, she is not in the room anymore, not really. She is in a dark corner of the woods of Hyde Park and he is all around her, warm as the morning sun, whispering that he loves her, that she can let go, begging that he needs it, needs to hear her, and that same finger he just dragged down her palm is inside her, curling just so, drawing out a whine of his own name from her lips."

    “Don’t you know it yet, Kate? Between your legs, I am yours to command.”

    "Every breath until the one he took on his knees, holding out Kate’s bangle and his own battered heart, and handing them both carefully, gently, back into her keeping where they belonged."

    "What exactly do they expect to see, do you think?”
    “You tumbling into the orchestra pit by the looks of it. Careful, love. You’ll break your neck.”
    "Oh, I would not dare, my lord. Not when you are so fond of it.”
    “I suppose I must be. Or I would surely have wrung it by now.”

    “I hate waiting for things. Especially things I want.”

    "I never had much patience for deciphering the secret symbolism in a bunch of flowers, for instance. At least not until you started sending them to me.”
    “I can save you the trouble there — all of my bouquets mean I love you.”

    “Well, I am sorry to have kept you away from something you love.”
    “Don’t fret, I love you more.”

    “And you … you won’t mind waiting?”
    “Anthony. I will not be waiting. I will be living.”

    “You know, you always do this when you are upset,” she mutters eventually, something mutinous creeping into her tone. “Why do you always get to decide when the conversation is over?”

    Kate and Anthony argue, kiss, and make up. In that order.

    the heat of the moment
    ~ wagamiller

    Quotes:

    "It’s not enough to love him quietly anymore, in tiny, hidden gestures and stolen moments while the rest of London is still asleep.
    She wants to wear his daisies in her hair."

    "The happiest day of his whole life might well be the day when she finally doesn’t seem surprised by some silly, simple thing he does. When she just nods, and pats his cheek fondly, and goes about her day, taking for granted that she is cared for."

    "He almost smiles, thinking of that. And he thinks she might see it. Not the smile, but the almost."

    “I do not get my own rooms?”
    “They are your rooms, Kate. I just happen to live there.”

    "And her heart falls right out of her chest, out of the window and off the ledge, right down into the courtyard.
    Right into Anthony’s hands."

    “I look at you like you will get ten things wrong before breakfast. And I will love you anyway.”

    “I love you quite madly, you know.”
    “Oh, I know. Because we are alike, you see. And I love you the very same way.”

    “I am capable of multi-tasking.” Anthony replied, and as if to prove a point, he ran a hand along the exposed skin of her thigh. “And even in times such as this, rest assured that I am always interested in your thoughts. In fact, I would like to know if –“

    Two sharp knocks to the door cut him off. Kate immediately shoved Anthony off her, nearly sending him crashing into his desk.

    “Brother, have you seen Miss Sharma?” Francesca asked from the hallway. “I was told that she had arrived, but I have yet to see her. I do not know where she could be.”

    “She’s here!” Anthony called.

    Kate's eyes widened in betrayal.

    Or: Kate steps into her role as head of the Bridgerton household.
