NONSENSE, LOGIC, WICKED, VIRTUE ↳ lines from the wayward children series (books 1-3) by seanan mcguire.

"we notice the silence of men. we depend upon the silence of women."

"she was a story, not an epilogue."

"their love wanted to fix her, and refused to see that she wasn't broken."

"this world is unforgiving and cruel to those it judges as even the slightest bit outside the norm."

"hope is a knife that can cut through the foundations of the world."

"the mountain was as powerful as the tide, just...in a different way."

"i am a genius of infinite potential and highly limited patience. people shouldn’t try me so."

"death was precious. that didn't change the fact that life was limited."

"nobody gets to tell me how my story ends but me."

"some adventures require nothing more than a willing heart and the ability to trip over the cracks in the world."

"every choice feeds every choice that comes after, whether we want those choices or no."

"time is the alchemy that turns compassion into love..."

"hope only got you hurt. hope was her least favourite thing, of all the things."

"it can be easy, in the end, to forget that children are people, and that people will do what people will do, the consequences be damned."

"beauty was all the brighter against a background of briars."

"there is kindness in the world, if we know how to look for it. if we never start denying it the door."

"that's why people shouldn't get too hung up on labels. sometimes i think that's part of what we do wrong. we try to make things make sense, even when they're never going to."

"adults can still tumble down rabbit holes and into enchanted wardrobes, but it happens less and less with every year they live."

"nobody promised me a happy ending. they didn’t even promise me a happy existence."

"we’re all puzzle boxes, skeleton and skin, soul and shadow."

"grave robbing was still viewed as socially inappropriate, and doing it when the sun was up was generally viewed as unwise."

"i never saved the day. i never challenged the gods."

"i still am a mermaid. i just have my scales under my skin now."

"i like existing. i'm not ready to unexist just because of stupid causality."

"elsewhere was a legend and a lie, until it came looking for you."

"you are not a cake, you are a human being, and I can see your vagina."

"everything fell apart."

"the children disliked pretending to be ordinary delinquents, sent away by their parents for starting fires or breaking windows, when really they had been sent away for slaying dragons and refusing to say that they hadn’t."

( this is basically just a very self indulgent list of various fluff, angst, and suggestive themed dialogue sentence starters. )

❛ i could keep you safe. they’re all afraid of me. ❜

❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜

❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜

❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜

❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ i thought you’d like some company. ❜ 

❛ clean yourself up. you're getting blood all over the place. ❜

❛ here, give this a try and tell me what you think. ❜

❛ you can kiss me, you know. ❜

❛ come back to bed. ❜

❛ you look good like this. ❜

❛ working together again, it’s just like old times. ❜

❛ how is it you always know what i need, huh? ❜

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ 

❛ i can’t imagine losing someone like that. i’m sorry. ❜

❛ you know you can always talk to me. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ so, what do i owe this pleasure? ❜

❛ may i have this dance? ❜ 

❛ it’s okay, you can touch me. i won't break. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜

❛ we can't keep doing this. ❜ 

❛ just relax and let me take care of you. ❜

❛ thought you’d be lighter without all that blood. ❜

❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜

❛ everything looks so beautiful from up here. ❜

❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜

❛ well? how do i look? ❜

❛ can’t sleep? ❜

❛ i’m scared of ending up alone. ❜

❛ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ how long has it been since you've slept? ❜

❛ you are losing my interest, and that’s very dangerous. ❜

❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜

❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜

❛ i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know. ❜

❛ just a few more stitches and you’ll be as good as new. ❜

❛ i’d say we make a pretty good team. ❜

❛ i'm here for business — not pleasure. ❜

❛ if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were jealous. ❜

❛ you'd look better down on your knees. ❜

❛ fine, keep acting like you hate me. ❜

❛ kiss me again. ❜

❛ are you asking me out on a date? ❜

❛ just sit there and look pretty and let me handle this. ❜

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

❛ i'm not drunk enough for this. ❜ 

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ i was wrong about you. ❜ 

❛ the first time i met you, i had no idea you'd mean this much. ❜

❛ you gonna be a good girl / boy for me? ❜

❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜

❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜

❛ i just wanted to say thank you for protecting me. ❜

❛ how about a kiss goodnight? ❜

❛ i don’t have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜ 

❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜

also... never give rory anything important to hold onto. she will lose it.

the excitement that lights up her face is instantly noticeable. trouble seems to follow rory around but they don't do much to shake it off at all. ❛ wait. seriously? would you? ❜ she jumps. ❛ oh! with these skills we can be, like, super-villains! we break down doors in all ways! the queens of unlocking, the monarchs of being somewhere they shouldn't be! ❜ aaaand the train of thought has left the station, set on a course that will likely end in a derail. ❛ deal! it's a dealio! you gotta teach me all your mad tricks now! ❜

[bornsurvivr]

have i mentioned that one of rory's hobbies is lockpicking? because it is.
