Can’t stop thinking about how all of S2, Aziraphale is throwing himself at Crowley physically (the hand on his chest in the bar, the dance, the hand on his shoulder when Gabe and Beez say being together is more important than sides) waiting for Crowley to make the next move, while Crowley is throwing himself at Aziraphale emotionally (trying to make the humans fall in love by engineering a rainstorm, letting Aziraphale drive his car, recommending Alpha Centauri as a place for Gabe and Beez to go). And how in the final 15, they finally get closer to giving the other what they have been asking for all season, but it’s twisted and miscommunicated: “come with me” Aziraphale says and all Crowley hears is “to heaven”; “I need you” Aziraphale says, and all Crowley hears is “to change for me”; Crowley grabs Aziraphale and kisses him the way Aziraphale has wanted all season and Aziraphale, thinking it’s a temptation away from Heaven, forgives him instead of kissing him back.

Nobody does it quite like Slade 🤌🏼🤌🏼

"My own good? My own good was stuck on a pirate ship, with an aura like a beacon that flared across the Barrens. My own good was cowered before men who were nothing - fucking nothing - in comparison to her. My own good hated me, fought me, argued with me, but I didn't care, because I watched her slowly come out of her shell, peeling back one layer at a time, and it was stunning."

"I got one touch. One taste, and if it was an act of selfishness, then you should know, it certainly wasn't one-sided, Auren." - Slade, The Plated Prisoners Series

I’m just gonna leave this here.

Thoughts on TWOTQ and why I don't get the anger. SPOILERS.

I was expecting a relationship to form between the three of them, more than just the joining. I feel like it was heavily foreshadowed the last two books? It explains how strong the bond between a bonded pair is. They talked about how much Kieran and Cas loved each other after being bonded their whole lives, and that their relationship and love goes beyond the magical bond. Kieran felt Cas falling in love with her through the bond, and then that intense bond literally shifted onto her.

He's always been the only one Cas trusted with Poppy. He's always been more involved and worried about Poppy than any of their other friends. When the Gyrms attacked for the first time he tried to keep her from fighting, because he was scared she was going to get hurt. They watched each other on the beach, and Cas teased her about it. Kieran and Poppy tease and taunt each other, Kieran always knows what she's thinking. He held Poppy while Cas fed and it got physical, and while she fed from Cas and it got more than a little physical. He was the one who helped Cas ascend her, just as desperate and scared of losing her, and bathed and watched over them while they slept. None of the other friends, it's always been Kieran.

And this is from when they made Kieran their advisor: Valyn’s gaze flicked to Kieran. “He is a good choice.” He squeezed Casteel’s shoulder, and I was relieved to see the gesture. “For both of you.” There was a pause as he looked at his son, clearing his throat.

And when Cas got captured they needed each other. They both love Cas so much, and they needed each other to survive the pain. Casteel repeatedly says he knows Poppy is going to be okay, because she has Kieran. How happy he was that they had each other to get through this. And when they rescued him? He was happy Kieran is the one who fed her. He held Kieran close. Both Poppy and Cas think about how while they're heartmates, their relationship with Kieran was something different but more than friendship. And he notices Kieran's softness and their evolved relationship/casual touches, and isn't angry or concerned at all. He even jokes that Kieran is thinking about taking Poppy in the armor as well.

I think a lot of the anger comes from some people reading the relationship as friendship the entire time, because they never considered a poly relationship. So this came out of nowhere to them. Which I understand if it's not something you read about often! But if you look back on the books and interactions, in my opinion, the relationship was progressing from the moment they took Poppy.

Omg omg omg. I just realized:

Sera is the true heir to the mortal kingdom. In TCOGB nektas said something like that poppy is owed two crowns. SOOO because poppy is a descendent of not only Nyktos but also Sera, that is why Poppy can take both crowns and unite both kingdoms. HOLY SHIT

He waited at the door, his eyes a heated gold as he watched me. Slowly, his gaze lifted to mine. “I still find that dagger sheathed to your thigh to be wildly arousing.”

“I still find that to be slightly disturbing.”

“Only slightly? I see my dysfunction is rubbing off on you.”

“That’s because you’re a bad influence.”

“Told you once before, my Queen.” He touched his thumb to my chin as he opened the door. “Only the already, enticingly wicked can be influenced.”

[bastilledartmoor]

It’s finally coming. Fingers crossed that the State of the Sanderson will contain a bonus chapter of Alcatraz 6.

FBAA Book 4 Teaser: The War of Two Queens

Release date: March 15, 2022

For those of you who just had your heart ripped out Landell style by Jennifer L. Armentrout, here's the teaser she posted on facebook for book four: (Keep Reading because SPOILERS)

Thousands poured from the Capital, carrying all that they could in their arms and on the backs. Some only cradled their children. Others bore the burden of the elderly and the sick. The stream of pale faces and harried features was endless as they passed the three of us, most not daring to even look in our direction. A few, the youngest among them, stared with wide eyes.

The gaze of small girl with her cheek resting on her father’s shoulder met mine. I wondered what she saw. A monster? Liberator? Death?

For some, I would become all of those things before the day was done.

Then the doors closed on the massive Rise.

“That is the last of those who have chosen to leave the Capital, your Highness.”

“And those who have decided to remain?” I asked.

“They know what they have sided with. They have chosen to die.”

And so they had.

I removed the golden crown, letting it fall from my fingers, to the ground. Setti tensed under me as I lifted the helmet, sliding in on.

Deep in the woods, a murmur of unease sounded from those who fled the city. Behind us, the leaves rattled. A piercing howl penetrated the stillness, followed by another and another. Yips and grows of warning rang through the air as the wolven raced through the trees and by the frightened people as they now froze where they were, cowering close to the ground. Setti shifted, shaking his mane.

“Momma! Look!” a young child shouted as the mother tried to shush him. “Momma! Look it!”

A shadow glided silently over the forest, momentarily blocking the sun. Then Royal Guards on the Rise stopped and looked up. The sound of death roared overhead, and a funnel of fire and energy spilled forth, striking the gates on the Rise. Large sections of limestone and iron cracked and gave way, crumbling to the ground and taking the Guards with it. The gateway was, for the briefest second, a wall of flames, and then it was gone.

“My Queen?”

“It is time.” I dug my knees into Setti’s sides and his powerful hooves kicked off the ground. The wolven broke through the tree line, an army of claws and teeth racing forward as another shadow, a smaller one, fell over me.

Kieran was leaning against the wall, head tipped back and eyes closed. They opened though, locking on mine. He went completely still as I closed the door. His mouth moved, but I heard no words as he lurched forward. I met him halfway. One or both of us staggered a little as we collided. His hand trembled as he clasped the back of my neck. The knot of emotion in my chest grew as I held him as close as I had Poppy, and in that silence, I thanked the gods, sleeping, dead or whatever as I dropped my forehead to his shoulder. For him being there for Poppy. For him just being here. For a bond thicker than blood or tradition.

“You whole?” Kieran asked in a voice that felt as rough as my throat.

I closed my eyes. “Going to be.”

“Good.” The hand at the nape of my neck firmed. “Missed you, man. Something fierce.”

“Same.”

“Also wanted to punch you in the dick for doing what you did,” he said, and a thin laugh left me. “Still want to, to be honest.”

“You know why I did it.”

“I know.” Kieran squeezed the back of my neck. “That’s the only reason why I’m not punching you right now.”

I laughed again, lifting my head. “That and the fact you're afraid Poppy would kick your ass for it.”

He chuckled roughly. “True story.”
