#demon's covenant

[linovadraws]

I reread In Other Lands by @sarahreesbrennan and then I may have tripped face first back into Demon's Lexicon. And now here I am with what my mom described as "what a cute picture wait why does that child have a knife"

90 WAYS TO SAY I LOVE YOU: A STUDY IN WAYS SRB BREAKS MY HEART

Sometimes I want to be human for you. But only sometimes.

I don't lie to you, I lie with you.

I won't leave you. I don't want to.

I will not destroy the world, because it has you in it.

I'm a social worker.

Hey Bambi.

Hey Clive.

I could maybe draw you with a hook.

We can do whatever boring thing you want.

Do whatever you think you need to do, I do not care. But don't leave.

I'm going to lie and scheme and kill to keep you anyway.

I want you to have many goals.

He doesn't like being left alone.

The most interesting girl I know.

You don't have to be honest. If you lie, I'll know what you mean.

Anything I can do, I will.

If I had a soul to trade, I would trade it for his.

You're not taking him.

Where did you learn to dance?

If you wish me to turn away this client for your peace of mind, I will.

I wasn't trying to hurt you.

Next to those two choices what happens to me doesn't matter.

It matters.

I was glad to do it.

I hope that boy wastes his chance.

I want you to teach me how to be human.

I didn't mean for you to take that laughing thing the wrong way.

He's ours.

[You said you were interested] I was being polite.

You are so much more trouble than you're worth.

When losing isn't an option, it doesn't matter what you have to do to win.

Would you grab the first-aid kit anyway?

Stay away from my brother!

That's my brother.

You were willing to defend me with a kettle?

I was hoping you would come back.

I think we could manage to tempt a demon or two together.

I'm on your side.

She's kind of amazing. And beautiful.

I thought it would please you.

I don't mind it as much when some people touch me. Because I'd let them hurt me.

Hi, Nick. Did you miss me?

I had a nightmare. I need you to come and sleep in my bed.

Why can't you stay out of trouble?

You manage that all right. You're just learning.

Maybe sometimes I could read the assigned books to you.

I can trust you enough for anything.

Which demon am I calling?

That bookshop manager thinks she can run him into the ground. Don't wake him.

He was coming to look for me.

Get up and go to bed.

We toil not, nor do we jog.

They can't have him. He's my friend.

Knife work at night is something you're going to have to learn.

No, you should stay.

Sit down. I'll make you something to eat.

Put your shirt back on right now.

I'm going to save you.

You are my friend.

Your hair is the colour of flamingos!

Sometimes when you are not being psychotic, you are quite funny.

Then Gerald's a fool, and so are you.

You're right. I am warning you.

This is how you help me.

I'm - sorry. That's the way it is. I don't know how to make it any different.

You're right, I'm an idiot.

You'll feel better when you start running.

Get away from my son.

I know I never did it right.

I thought you'd be happy.

We used to play dolls together for hours when we were little.

Jamie. Come here.

You don't know my brother.

We're going to go home.

It won't happen to you. I won't let it.

I'll protect you.

I'm counting on it.

I'll sit with you in case you need help.

And you're not a monster.

You're brave.

I put you first. I always have.

(How many times have you lied to me?) I've lost count.

Don't leave me.

I didn't want you to - feel any diffferently about me.

I'm sorry.

I understood being brothers, I understood that word, but now I don't understand anything.

All right. I'll put down my weapons.

Kill them all.

I set you free.

In two worlds there is nothing I love half so much as you

Also a study in 'this makes way more sense in context'. (okay, some of them are I love him/her)

So basically what this teaches me is that I should not re-read and finally finish a book series when I have stuff to do.

Because what apparently happens is that I read three books in 5 days.

[jujutherubberduckie]

Turn me over to the magicians, take the magic, do whatever you think you need to do, I do not care. But don't leave.

Nick to Alan (The Demon's Covenant by Sara Rees Brennan)

Sweet God this woman is tearing my heart out in chunks.

Sarah Rees Brannan strikes again

If I hope to get anything else done, I'm going to have to read the last 100 pages of this book tonight. Curse you Sarah Rees Brannan and am I ever glad there are only three books in this series. It's life wrecking. In other news, this is one of my favorite series ever.

[literati42]

"Well, speaking as a feminist, I'm glad that women can lead--uh, groups of unspeakable magical evil." "Yes," Alan said gravely. "It'd be shocking if the evil magicians were sexist. For one thing, that would mean they were stupid, and having stupid enemies would be a terrible blow to my manly pride."

@dina_belle: I wanna read the rooftop scene from Demon's Covenant from Nick's POV @sarahreesbrenna: Must destroy world. But it contains hot people. Dilemma!

Simon: Oh, Mae.

Me: What?

Simon: She wants to save Nick.

Me: *sigh* Yet ANOTHER one of those stupid things teenagers do.

Simon: I know, right? It's SO overdone. I mean, how many times have you heard that? Teenage girl trying to save the demon boy...

Me: *dies laughing*
