Summary
I never truly feared the Others. Hated, yes. Misunderstood, yes - Evan Walker was a prime example. But fear? I was always too engulfed with wanting to destroy the things that took my family and friends and livelihood way from me. Even when I came face to face with the core being of the Others on the mothership, I was never afraid. But now, I can confidently say that I am afraid of what happened to me inside of that ship.

Summary
She didn't speak, almost didn't dare breathe. She was too afraid of him disappearing. He placed his face in the juncture of her neck and breathed. When she felt a slight tickle near her rib cage, she realized that he was playing with her hair the same way that he had done all those years ago.
"I don't know how to be without you," he whispered into her skin.
Belly's breath hitched. She could feel his arms tightening around her, pulling her in. He was a warm contrast against the cold air and his skin was soft as she lightly traced the hands pressed against her stomach.
"Say something," Conrad pleaded.
"We don't work," she whispered, shaking her head slowly. She couldn't turn around, couldn't look at his face. "We've tried, Conrad."

Can You See Right Through Me? by triflingthings
Fandoms: Red Queen Series - Victoria Aveyard
02 Jan 2023

Summary
With the memories comes the recognition that everyone must be able to see through my mask. They must be able to realize that I am not who they need me to be. I can see right through the character that I've built, someone strong and capable of killing without screaming through nightmares, without scratching my skin raw simply to distract myself from the pain inside of me. I'm not that person, that perfect soldier that everyone deems me as. I'm weak, selfish.

Summary
She knew he couldn't feel it, her hypersensitivity simply a side effect of her feelings toward the boy behind her. She could smell the gin on his breath, could feel the heat radiating off of his body. She felt lightheaded.
She wants to tell him. She wants to tell him that it could be so easy, this groove that they continuously find themselves in. It could be so easy to just slap a label on it and call it a day, add some intentional affection here and there--okay, everywhere--and create a life together.

Summary
She was in love with Dimitry. There was no romantic realization, no profession of love from one to the other, no kissing in the middle of a rainstorm. No, it was just Anya sitting alone in her office, while the man she loved was probably drunk on a tall brunette that Anya would never compare to.

Summary
And that's when it hit me.
I wanted this moment to last forever. I wanted the children, the laughs, the tears, and I wanted them all with Maxon. I wanted them with Maxon because I loved him. Because I was so hopelessly in love with him that the thought of having these moments with anyone else made me feel physically sick. The man next to me was the one I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, not just for the last few weeks of The Selection. All of the sudden, the crown, the people, King Clarkson, they didn't seem so terrifying. Because I would have Maxon, and because Maxon would have me.

As soon as Cassie's family died, she knew that she had to get out. She knew she had to run and never look back. She couldn't function in that godforsaken camp, in that godforsaken town - hell, even that godforsaken state. She was perfectly content with managing on her own, thank you very much. That is, until she runs into Ben You-Were-Some-Kind-of-Serious-Gorgeous Parish.
