Darrow/Sevro Ship Manifesto: Morning Star edition
aka every single line I highlighted while wearing ship goggles. If I knew this was how my reading experience was going to go, I would have been noting lines since Red Rising. But alas,,
Ch. 8: "He never stopped looking for you," Dancer explains. "I thought he was mad. He said you weren't dead. That he could feel it. That he would know.
Ch. 9: His eyes dance as he sees me, and he tosses Ella roughly onto a bed and charges toward me, arms outstretched. A weird laugh escapes his chest, hatchet face split with a jagged grin.
Ch. 9: He half laughs, half cries like an excited dog into my chest.
Ch. 9: "So I asked if he'd put 'em in. You know. Bring us closer together. Something to remember you by. That's not so weird, right?"
Ch. 11: It makes me feel safe knowing [Ragnar's] here. Knowing he's with me. Like I thought I would feel near Sevro. But he's changed.
Ch. 17: And she tried to kill Sevro. Bad play.
Ch. 18: Sevro snorts. "What about Moira? Had no problem frying her, but you spare him."
Ch. 18: And as we pretend to be brave, we become so. All except Sevro, who remains silent as we fly into space.
Ch. 20: Sevro's quiet. Hurt.
Ch. 20: I wheel on the small man, picking him up with one hand and pinning him against the ceiling. "Don you say a damn thing about [Sevro]."
Ch. 21: [Sevro's] moral creed has always been simple: protect your friends, to hell with everyone else.
Ch. 21: "Or did you do what you wanted to? Because your feelings were hurt? Because you wanted to lash out?"
The entirety of chapter 22 tbh
Ch. 22: I don't hold him, but I put a hand on his head. And he surprises me by not flinching away, but instead crawling up to put his head on my knee. I put my other hand on his shoulder.
Ch. 22: "That's how I feel every morning now. I'm afraid all the time. I don't want to lose anyone. I don't want to let them down."
Ch. 22: [Sevro] needs to share the weight. I don't know how else to tell him that.
Ch. 22: He shrugs. "Was afraid you wouldn't want me."
Ch. 22: Right now I'd say anything to make him feel like he's loved.
Ch. 22: But it's this bond that Sevro and I share that makes us stronger than we were before.
Ch. 23: "Howler One," Sevro says, punching my shoulder. "Howler Tow," I say, patting his in turn.
Ch. 32: I pray silently for Sevro's safety, for Victra's and the Howlers.
Ch. 35: Sevro waits beside Dancer and Mickey. He slams me into a hug.
Ch. 35: Yet I stay for Sevro.
Ch. 35: Damn the world, so long as I have my mangy little guardian angel.
Ch. 35: "You don't think you've gotten a chance to live?" I ask. "Not proper," he says.
Ch. 35: "But it'd be nice to just be Sevro.
Ch. 35: "You and I keep looking for light in the darkness, expecting it to appear. But it already has." I touch his shoulder. "We're it, boyo.
Ch. 38: Sevro looks at me in annoyance
Ch. 39: People who he loved as much as I love Sevro and Ragnar.
Ch. 40: "Why would I need air support when I've got you," I say, gesturing to Sevro's gravBoots.
Ch. 43: They will hunt my friends. They will say Sevro's name, and Mustang's and Ragnar's because they do not yet know he is gone form us.
Ch. 44: "[Sevro's] heart's a black little thing. But it can break.
Ch. 50: Like Mustang, the little Gold came for me, in case I needed him. [...] Loyalty is everything to him.
Ch. 51: I'm woken from a restless dream by Sevro.
Ch. 52: "I was watching," Sevro says. "I was always watching."
Ch. 53: Sevro rushes onto the bridge
Ch. 54: "Justice," Victra says, drawing a look from Sevro.
Ch. 54: I'm not witnessing the death of a friend as much as I'm seeing the rebirth of another.
Ch. 54: I watch in awe of Sevro as he bounds up onto the railing, arms wide, embracing his army.
Ch. 54: It's a man I would die to protect even as he dies to save the soul of this rebellion.

Ch. 58: Sevro's blood drips down my face.
Ch. 63: "Get your dog off me," the Jackal says from under Sevro's knees. I pull Sevro back.
