i sat by the lake last week and i offered my mother
a slice of my orange, and she said no
and i felt so lonely that i pretended i was two people
so i’d have someone to share with

“Alex is—two words that told a few million kids across America they weren’t alone. A letterman jacket in APUSH. Secret loose panels in White House windows. Ruining something because you wanted it too badly and still getting back up and trying again. Not a prince. Something bigger, maybe.”

JUDE DUARTE
I am going to keep on defying you. I am going to shame you with my defiance. You remind me that I am a mere mortal and you are a prince of Faerie. Well, let me remind you that means you have much to lose and I have nothing. You may win in the end, you may ensorcell me and hurt me and humiliate me, but I will make sure you lose everything I can take from you on the way down. I promise you this is the least of what I can do.

Ehri kir-taban
"The princess gilded through the marketplace in her leaf-green silks, her hair drawn back, a chrysanthemum tucked behind her left ear. She played her music and the people followed, pulling their children along with them, clapping and dancing, the song Ehri chose was no coincidence: "the flower maiden." She is the sun and spring has returned. As they entered, people emerged from their home with bells and drums in hand to play along. They cast flowers into her path."
/
" "A khatuur?" Mayu asked incredulously, "I was hoping for a weapon." "It is a weapon" said Ehri, "beauty of all kinds is a weapon."
