I think my absolute favourite thing about Jane Austen's Emma is that it's a love story about two best friends. They've known each other for two decades, so they know the other inside and out. And they fall in love with each other. Despite the fact that Emma meddles in others' lives and that Mr Knightley scolds her for it, they fall in love. And they don't just fall in love with the other's positive attributes, but their negative ones too. They love every part of the other, and that's beautiful.

Arya didn’t know how much Robb would pay for her, though. He was a king now, not the boy she’d left at Winterfell with snow melting in his hair. And if he knew the things she’d done [...] “What if my brother doesn’t want to ransom me?”
immediate tears
“Why would you think that?” asked Lord Beric. “Well,” Arya said, “my hair’s messy and my nails are dirty and my feet are all hard.” Robb wouldn’t care about that, probably, but her mother would. Lady Catelyn always wanted her to be like Sansa, to sing and dance and sew and mind her courtesies. Just thinking of it made Arya try to comb her hair with her fingers, but it was all tangles and mats, and all she did was tear some out
-ARYA VII ASOS
oh. oh ok (falling to the ground, eating the carpet)
eleven years old arya contemplates her family could not want her back because her hair is all messy and her nails are dirty and her feet are all hard. she thinks of her mother, that has never managed to get through her (or has she?) and her first instinct is to fix herself. but the mess is beyond fixing now and all she does is tear some of her hair out. i am clawing at the walls.

*Tim looking tired as shit and being an asshole to everything that breathes near him*
Jason: Jesus kid, what train hit you?
Tim: *irritated* Don't call me kid. And the train that hit me is this stupid lead that I got stuck on for 3 days! I need to find that fucker-
Jason: Wow! Slow down a little...
Tim: I CAN'T SLOW DOWN IF I SLOW DOWN I AM GONNA SLEEP. IF I SLEEP I WON'T CATCH THIS VILLAIN AND GOTHAM WILL BE DOOMED. AND IF GOTHAM IS DOO- *Tim falls asleep mid sentece*
*Tim wakes up after hitting his head on the Batcomputer*
Tim: *looks at Jason* What was I saying...
Jason: *getting out of his shock* ...That you either need 3 full days of sleep or a DynaPep with 3 shots of espresso??...
Tim: *squinting his eyes* Ya... that... that sounds about right...
Jason: Which one? The healthy option or the vigilante no sleep version?
Tim: *looking annoyed at Jay*
Jason: *stares back confused as to why Tim looks at him like he offended his honor or something*
Tim: *long sigh* Okay, fine. Give me that drink.
----------one super energetic drink later-----------
*Bruce, Dick, Jason, Damian, Steph and Cass stare at a Batcave's wall full of detailed plans to take down all the rogues in Gotham as Tim continues to write and loudly murmur to himself*
Steph: How... how did this happen?
Tim: *louder* THIS IS PERFECT!! *cackle* AND THEN I AM GONNA TAKE OVER THE LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS AND RA'S WON'T EVEN SEE ME COMING... HE HAS TO PAY ME FOR THAT SPLEEN THAT I LOST IN HIS STUPID MISSION TO TAKE DOWN THE SPIDERS!! AND THEN I WILL EXPAND MY PLANS TO ALL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE LEVEL ROGUES AND I WILL FINALLY WIN THIS STUPID NEVER ENDING WAR AGAINST CRIME ONCE AND FOR ALL!! *laughs like a maniac*
Jason: *still staring at Tim like the others* Umm... I gave him a juiced up coffee to help him get over a case that was giving him trouble... he found the guy he was looking for not even 2 hours later, then returned mumbling to himself and started researching and writing on the walls like a maniac... I thought the kid had coffee before... right?
Alfred: *that appeared besides them without anyone notecing* That is true... but usually Master Tim takes what could be considered small doses of caffeine diluted in some tea. Not an entire cup of almost pure caffeine, I am afraid...
Jason: Well, shit...
*Tim continues to rant and make plans about basically world domination at that point... for about 2 more hours until he just falls off the Dinosaur where he was making his "Ultimate Speech to the World"
The other Batcave residents just hear a thud and run to see Jason on the ground under the Dinosaur with a sleeping Tim on his chest*
Jason: *sounding super exhausted after he followed Tim around during all of his crazy talk and final "Ultimate Speech"* Never let me give Tim a coffee ever again... EVER!! *and he collapses into sleep too*
*The others just nod to Jay's previous statement and Bruce picks up his boys to put them to a proper sleep, thinking about how to deal with Tim's crazy plans plastered all over the Batcave*

<Alexa takes a break from painting. She sings a song under her breath as she goes to replace her paint water. The song is familiar to her even if she doesn’t know where it’s from.>
