#𝐈𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋. “Genya—” David tried. “Don’t you dare,” she said roughly, tears welling up again. “You never looked at me twice before I was like this, before I was broken. Now I’m just something for you to fix.” I was desperate for words to soothe her, but before I could find any, David bunched up his shoulders and said, “I know metal.” “What does that have to do with anything?” Genya cried. David furrowed his brow. “I … I don’t understand half of what goes on around me. I don’t get jokes or sunsets or poetry, but I know metal.” His fingers flexed unconsciously as if he were physically grasping for words. “Beauty was your armor. Fragile stuff, all show. But what’s inside you? That’s steel. It’s brave and unbreakable. And it doesn’t need fixing.”

Does it change things? Risking your life when it is no longer your own? It changes everything. It’s the greatest cause you’ll ever have. It makes you fight harder.

#𝐊𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐕. Nikolai thought he understood. There had been a time when words had been the only place he could find solace. No book ever lost patience with him or told him to sit still. When his tutors had thrown up their hands in frustration, it was the library that had taught Nikolai military history, strategy, chemistry, astronomy. Each spine had been an open doorway whispering, Come in, come in. Here is a land you've never seen before. Here is a place to hide when you're frightened, to play when you're bored, to rest when the world seems unkind. Yuri knew that solace. He had once been a scholar. Perhaps he'd like to be one again.

“David, did you sleep here last night?” Nikolai asked. The Fabrikator frowned. “I don’t think so.” “He spent the night here,” Nadia clarified. “He didn’t actually sleep.” “Did you?” asked Nikolai. “I … dozed for a bit,” Nadia replied evasively. “I’m taking you home to Tamar.” “But I need her for the fuel tests,” David objected. “And I’m taking you home to Genya,” added Nikolai.

“i wanna hold your hand” - excuses for your characters to hold hands

prompt list by @novelbear

"your hands are cold...let me warm them up for you."

taking advantage of the fact that they're walking through a crowded place and holding their hand so that they "don't get lost"

maybe they get slightly jealous while out, so they grab onto their partner's hand to establish their relationship

"something's on your finger. give me your hand, let me see.."

mentioning that they want to compare hand sizes

pinky promising over everything so that it's easier to naturally intertwine their fingers with the others'

"okay, but if i'm right then you have to hold my hand!" "that's not much of a punishment but alright babes, whatever you say."

"can you hold this for me?" "there's nothing in your hand." "exactly."

going in as if they're just innocently fiddling with the other's fingers, then trapping them about thirty seconds later

making the effort to find where their partner is and dragging them by the hand rather than just calling them over to where they wanted them in the first place.

"you need me to hold your hand so you can read the instructions?" "it helps me concentrate!"

grabbing onto the other's hand out of nervousness

slowly intertwining fingers while the other is driving

"they always hold hands and rub it in everyone's faces, i want us to look cute too!"

going on a rant about how much they love to hold hands, hoping that the other would take the hint and offer

"can you hold my hand?" "of course, my love."

#𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐊𝐕𝐋𝐍𝐇𝐘. hope is dangerous , it clouds your judgement.

“What’s the easiest way to steal a man’s wallet?” “Knife to the throat?” asked Inej. “Gun to the back?” said Jesper. “Poison in his cup?” suggested Nina. “You’re all horrible,” said Matthias. Kaz rolled his eyes. “The easiest way to steal a man’s wallet is to tell him you’re going to steal his watch. You take his attention and direct it where you want it to go. Hringkälla is going to do that job for us. The Ice Court will have to divert resources to monitoring guests and protecting the royal family. They can’t be looking everywhere at once. It’s the perfect opportunity to spring Bo Yul-Bayur.” Kaz pointed to the prison gate in the ringwall. “Remember what I told you at Hellgate, Nina?” “It’s hard to keep track of all your wisdom.”

@hrtlessone liked for a small starter & gets it for kostya ( one for vik will also be coming at some point

" You can't make her love you." WORDS ARE SOFT AS HE APPROACHES KOSTYA - the view of Baghra's hut , before them. "I know i cannot begin to understand - i don't remember my parents , let alone if i had grandparents." IT'S DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT TO SAY. David found inanimate objects easier than he did people but he hates seeing that haunted sadness in Kostya's eyes , knowing there is nothing he can do about it. "If she doesn't , that's her problem. She..misses out on the person you've become , the leader." A HAND TENTATIVELY REACHES FOR THAT OF THE TSAREVICH'S.
