“ think of me when you want to come home ” aera
AND WHAT HAPPENS IF I don’t want to ? ardyn wonders what use it would be to retrace his steps , undo them in a foolish attempt to recover what was lost . it would be torture , akin to traversing a thorn - strewn field , forsaking the will to live and gifting it to the undeserving . what happens if I don’t want to come come ? there is no home waiting for him , not even ANGELGARD , because what he has already known is lost to time , transformed into something he doesn’t recognize . it still reeks of treason , of rejection ( and by the gods , it’s agony . it doesn’t rival what already lives in his bones , but it comes close to . )
WHY WOULD I RETURN TO you ? once , he would have been willing to . once , aera was HOME , and her arms around him were the warmth of summer seeping into him . once , ardyn thought he would never have to look skyward anymore in order to see the radiance of the sun . now he thinks of aera and it’s poison in his mind , ash on his tongue , anger in his heart . it’d be easy to rip it out of his chest for her MEMORY to rend it asunder ; it wouldn’t kill him , but it would make living an easier burden .
ARDYN CLOSES HIS EYES , FEELS a gentle hand rest flat against his back . think of me . come home . the memory’s there again . in a flash , ardyn’s hand holds his dagger ; he turns , drives it deep into aera’s middle , watches her expression contort in agony . she doesn’t bleed , but ardyn’s hands are warm with blood . she doesn’t scream , but an unholy screech rings in his ears , a thousand voices into one . did you think of me when you thought to betray me ? aera reaches up , drives a hand into his chest . for a moment , pain , then agony and realization and DREAD . ( why ? better to die at her hand than at the chosen king’s . remember , you’ve already been her victim once . )
THEY SCREAM AT EACH OTHER , and the dream ends .
ARDYN WAKES WITH A START , looks down to find his chest intact and his hand empty .
“ YOU DON’T WANT ME TO come home . ”

Why did it matter to him what became of Ravka ? BROKEN , NEEDY , FRUSTRATING RAVKA . The grand lady. The crying child. The drowning man who would drag you under rather than be saved. This country that took so much and gave NOTHING back. Maybe because he knew that he and his country were the same. { PERSONAL / NON-RP BLOGS: PLEASE DO NOT REBLOG }

I have not abandoned you. Whatever you cling onto, it is not weakness or grief, or the residue of hidden sorrows long forgotten. You have had strength within you since the moment you felt the cold shape of steel in your hands. How lucky and blessed you are, warrior ! A lion’s heart, a king’s spirit, they all dwell within you.
— HAVE FAITH.
a court of mist and fury sentence starters
“i fell in love with you, smartass, because you were one of us.”
“when you spend so long trapped in the darkness, you find the darkness begins to stare back.”
“there are good days and hard days for me—even now. don’t let the hard days win.”
“if you were going to die, i was going to die with you.”
“you’re a real bastard, you know that?”
“there are different kinds of darkness. there is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. there is the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. it becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. it is not wholly bad or good.”
“i’m thinking… i’m thinking i was a lonely, helpless person, and i might have fallen in love with the first thing to show me a hint of kindness and safety.”
“i am broken, and healing, but every piece of my heart belongs to you.”
“i would have torn apart the world to get you back.”
“i’m thinking that i look at you and feel like i’m dying. like i can’t breathe. i’m thinking that i want you so badly i can’t concentrate half the time i’m around you, and this room is too small for me to properly bed you.”
“i hope they all burn in hell.”
“the issue isn’t whether they loved you, it’s how much. too much. love can be a poison.”
“many atrocities have been done in the name of the greater good.”
“did you enjoy the sight of me kneeling before you?”
“you gave up on me. you were my friend.”
“life is better when you’re around. and look how lovely your handwriting is.”
“i know you—more than you realize, i think—and i don’t believe for one damn minute that you’re remotely fine with being a pretty trophy for someone who sat on their ass for nearly fifty years, then sat on their ass while you were shredded apart—”
“come on. we don’t bite. unless you ask us to.”
“but i couldn’t… i couldn’t stop being around you, and loving you, and wanting you. i still can’t stay away.”
“i’d much rather you licked my wounds for me.”
“you decide your fate—your choices. not me.”
“i’m surprised there aren’t more mirrors in this house, since you seem to love looking at yourself so much.”
“i heard you begging for someone, anyone, to get you out. i heard you say no.”
“i will kill anyone who harms you. i will kill them, and take a damn long time doing it. go ahead. hate me—despise me for it.”

“don’t you dare.” nina
THREE WORDS // ACCEPTING .
❛❛ don’t I dare , what ? ❜❜ there’s little use in arguing with someone like NINA ZENIK : first , because she’s a heartrender ; second , because she’s a heartrender with special interest in bringing kaz’s pride down a couple of notches . kaz , however , finds he doesn’t care : nina won’t kill him , no matter how tough things get , just as kaz wont lie a finger on her if he values his life . and he does , thank you .
but there is also little use in arguing with someone like kaz brekker , because no statement or situation is free of his manipulation ; there are no words he cannot wield to hurt , least of all when his bones know nothing but anger and his blood is fire . ❛❛ go on , zenik : say it . ❜❜ don’t you dare bring matthias into this . when has anything been sacred for kaz , though ? he has made PROFIT off the farm he once lived in ( his parents’ graves yet lie there , undisturbed , but the ground puts money in his coffers as if pulled by some invisible hand ) , so why would a dead man’s bones garner more respect than a patch of land ?
insult him and your heart will know agony . her eyes are clear , the rage in them inimitable , and so very nina .
❛❛ I value my life more than you think , nina , and believe it or not , I value YOURS , too ———- which is why I’ll put tonight out of my mind the moment I walk out that door . ❜❜ a pause , the crackle of leather as he clenches a fist . ❛❛ but don’t test me , and I won’t test you . ❜❜
saints preserve them , it’s hard to tell if they’ll survive one another .
for once , kaz finds his odds to be disheartening .
@ephemrale + nina !
❛ i love you, kaz. remember. they cannot take it. ❜ inej
LILY HAS A DEATH WISH TONIGHT // ALWAYS READY .
nothing has felt softer than her palms upon his cheeks . nothing has felt heavier than the love that falls from her lips , and nothing has hurt him more than the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of his sentiment ( it’s a kindness he cannot afford , because the price for it is too high . ) kaz’s hands rest upon his lap , his eyes are fixed upon inej’s , one void against another . he searches for a lie as is habits , but by her saints she would not lie about this . she would not strip him of his armor only to see him punished for it ; she would not demand his skin to lie bare and later admonish him for her own desire .
by her saints , indeed , this — this arrogance , this GALL to dream in the face of inevitable disillusionment , this boldness to bleed where disease prevails — will eat them both alive . but I have the longest teeth . and if he has to wear them down until he has devoured every bone , then so be it , but no monster , real or imaginary , will take from him again . they cannot take it , says inej . like they took my brother ? like they took my innocence ? my life ?
ketterdam takes , and it knows not when to stop . it feels foolish to dream .
he cups his hands behind her neck ; she does the same , and their foreheads press together . I love you too , inej . the city will take that , too . he cannot risk that confession . you cannot TAKE what you cannot touch . you cannot steal what does not exist . you shouldn’t exist . I should never have left my heart in your chest . it feels foolish to fear .
❛❛ they can’t . ❜❜ a deep breath , a long sigh . ❛❛ they won’t . ❜❜ we won’t let them . I won’t let them .
