The Irish Aesthete: Ruins of Ireland, by Robert O'Byrne

I've just finished Iron Heart and Ms Varela I have Got to KNOW: does Ayla ever find out her brother is banging the queen? It's like never addressed in the book. Everyone else knows. Crier knows. But Ayla is like "oh yes Storme is Junn's closest advisor, good for him" and that's it. Does she ever find out? Does Crier just get more and more awkward about the situation as time goes on, and like she wonders if it's been too long to mention why Storme works so closely with Junn? Nina I've got to know!!!!

SCREAMS

yes she does find out, probably within like a month of the final confrontation with kinok, and her response is basically: “good for you. please never, ever speak to me about this, and CERTAINLY do not speak to me about whatever you two have been getting up to with my close personal friend benjy.”

#i actually did try to fit it in the epilogue but there wasn’t a suuuuper great place for ayla to be like #‘oh btw i for sure did walk in on my brother making out with the bone queen’#...bone queen.#indeed.#anyway it was unfortunately sacrificed in favor of ayla thinking about crier’s eyes but please rest assured: she knows and is duly horrified #as all siblings are by such things #a fun thing about ayla is that she’s like romance? disgusting. i do not see it. oh hey 😍🥰❤️ crier 😳🥺😈

To have two people coincide at the exact same time when both have busy lives, responsabilities to bear, demands of time by family and friends, chores to attend and jobs to do, is nothing short of a miracle, so when we come together let us never forget that the time we spend with each other, though brief as it might be, is ever so precious. Let us never complain or be bitter about the time spent apart but rather lets embrace the miracle of coming together as we do. Let us spend those precious moments and condense in them all the love, and laughter we can so those warm memories will sustain us the time we are apart.

She looked the same as last night—red uniform, messy dark braid, big brown eyes. She carried the same intensity about her, like heat waves rising from her skin, even though she was just standing in the doorway and not currently in the middle of saving Crier’s life. Like she was more than a human girl. Like she was a summer storm made flesh.

Crier's War (2019)

literature women from A-Z → Crier of Rabu

Crier was beautiful. Created to be beautiful, but it was more than that; more than perfect bone structure and symmetrical features and flawless brown skin. It was the way her eyes lit up with interest, the way her fingers were always so careful, almost reverent, as she flipped the pages of a book. The way she held absolutely still sometimes, like a deer in the woods, so still that Ayla wanted to touch her, reach out and touch her face to make sure she was still real.

MAKE ME CHOOSE — @venka asked: crier’s war or the seven husbands of evelyn hugo?

There was something terrible in her, something clawed and angry and afraid and sad… The truth of Ayla, the pain of her, was like a song you could feel vibrating on the air, even if you didn’t know the words. It was a hum, low and throaty and full of sorrow.

hey crier’s war fans! I’m going to do a very small acrylic charm order of this design, and I’ve put it up for preorder on my store! (preordering will help me know how many to get)
