“Mark my words, Prince. I will be your undoing."

"Oh Darling, I look forward to it.”

“I don’t know how to dance to your songs,” he said. “I don’t have the esteem of your friends. I don’t use seventeen pieces of silverware at dinner.” He let go of her hair, and it billowed out, catching in the wind once more. “I have no means of expanding your inheritance.”

He knew he was walking a fine line, reminding her of the reasons they made no sense. That this charade they were playing was a weak one. But if the goal was to be vulnerable, to entice her to be vulnerable, too, he needed to speak the truth.

“People like you are impossible,” she said. “I don’t care about those things.”

He almost rolled his eyes. “Of course you do.”

“Then why are we here? If I’m so shallow—all trappings and no substance—what are you doing with me? Why would someone like you want someone like me?”

Gideon opened his mouth to respond, only he didn’t know the answer. He studied her, hair ablaze in the setting sun. Gray eyes like molten steel.

But there’s something about the way she looks at me that always makes me feel insignificant, as if she’s the only one who realised I’m entirely hollow inside. She’s found the cracks in this cast I’m forced to wear every day, and it petrifies me. That this girl would know exactly how to shatter me.

excerpt from [destroy me] by tahereh mafi

“His hands are holding my cheeks, and he pulls back just to look me in the eye and his chest is heaving and he says, "I think," he says, "my heart is going to explode," and I wish, more than ever, that I knew how to capture moments like these and revisit them forever.

Because this.

This is everything.”

Can someone point me in the direction of their favorite Shatter Me fanart that’s not AI? Pls and thank you! I feel like I gotta be missing out on something here!

all this twisted glory by tahereh mafi

she’d shown him more loyalty and tenderness in two days than he’d ever felt in his life, and he knew then, with a force that drove the air from his lungs, that he would never survive her.

He held her with the type of intensity that only happens when a person wants something that isn’t quite theirs.

Evangeline and Jacks

[rosiethorns88]

Yes, good morning.

[elysianrey]

It’s like they’re sixteen again and he pays her wages and she’s at his beck-and-call. Has anything even changed since then? Or is she still the same silly girl with stars in her eyes, her heart in her throat whenever he graciously gives her a shred of his time and attention?

It’s too much, all that she’s feeling. It’s unbearable.

He doesn’t even flinch when she pounces onto him; some vicious and ugly part of her wanted him to, but he must’ve been seconds away from reaching for her himself, cause his hands pull her towards him the second she takes a step closer.
