Just writing Jesper and Wylan's alternative universe first meeting (for about the 3rd fic in a row. As is my right.) and I realised why I love their meeting in the books so much. You get to see the same scene from both POVs and see what the other person saw. In detail. You get to imagine all the sly looks and tension that is there hidden between the lines of what we are actually told was happening. Why else would they both be thinking the same thing?
I am not sure if Leigh Bardugo did that with the other Crow ships but if she did it doesn't stick out in my memory quite so much. If it's there someone remind me.
You have Wylan's real life POV of Jesper:
Colourful, super hot guy enters the tannery, oozing joy and who speaks to him a bit dismissively, subtly asking if he is new in town, offering to squire him around the place even though he acts like it is the most horrible imposition in the world.
...but in Wylan's head...
This man might murder me.
But forget that, OMG HE HAS THE MOST PERFECTLY SHAPED LIPS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
From an artistic point of view of course. Nothing else. Nothing to see here.
...and in Jesper's head...
ALARM. ALARM.
PRETTY BOY ALERT!!! PRETTY BOY ALERT!!!!
HE LOOKS LIKE A PRINCE.
HE LOOKS LIKE A PRINCE!!!
Man, I wanna kiss him so bad...
But I am Jesper. Cool. Easy going. Suave. Keep yourself together man. Act aloof.
BE COOL!!!!
It is adorable.
My handsome, battered and bruised husband.

Rewatching Favourite Scenes:-
The Crown 1x08 – It's a Real Royal Knockout
One of the most human and relatable storylines in The Crown was based on an actual royal showdown between the real Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
The royal couple's argy-bargy was said to have occurred during their Australian tour in 1954, as reported by The Crown’s historian Robert Lacey.
Their row was allegedly caught on camera. According to author Ingrid Seward, a TV crew were secretly filming the chalet where the Queen and her husband were staying.
As shown in the episode, any footage of their argument is unlikely to exist. The film clip was handed over to the Queen, for which she thanked the crew personally.

still deep in my "angels before man" brainrot and after reading @nicosraf's tweet about fan-favourite lines and dislking like 75% of his own writing, i can't not share my own favourites with rafa himself and also everyone else so get ready for a long fucking post
(side note: i haven't reread abm yet, so there could potentially be new highlights once i do reread it)
short explanation of what the position of the sticky notes mean:
• on the side of the page means this particular line or paragraph (19 marked)
• at the top on the inside means this page (4 marked)
• at the top on the outside means the entire scene starting from here (15 marked)
also, sometimes i didn't highlight a specific line or paragraph if it's within a page or scene i already marked (because i was running out of sticky notes lol)
let's get to it in chronological order!
1) page 25 to 30:
lucifer's first time flying with baal and his first time bleeding
2) page 49 and 50:
lucifer's first time watching michael fight
3) page 68 to 70:
gabriel telling lucifer about how god created him
4) this paragraph on page 86:
"so far away in the crowd was michael, with that proud grin of his and one hand in the air, but he called out to the youngest angel still. 'lucifer! lucifer!' even with all their distance, their gazes met and locked. an intake of breath, then the exuberant shout: 'lucifer—the lord has never made as fine an angel as you!'"
5) page 105 and 106:
michael and lucifer finally actually meeting
6) this paragraph on page 106:
"michael seemed to hesitate, before he turned to lucifer, and they were facing each other, seeing one another, for the first time since that day years ago when lucifer had led all of heaven in worship. up close, finally — lucifer felt all of himself melt like precious metal into a cast. 'you know my name,' michael said, and his voice had a mellow reverb to it. 'that's a shame. i wanted to introduce myself.' lucifer opened his mouth, but michael was grinning; it revealed little dips in his cheeks. 'i am michael, archangel of god, angel of strength.'"
(i was giggling and kicking my feet at this point, i love this moment so much i could scream)
7) page 107 to 113:
michael's and lucifer's first conversation with one another, right after that wonderful introduction above <3
8) michael saying this to lucifer on page 121 and 122:
"'that was a gallery? for art? i suppose it's no surprise that's where i found you then.'"
9) page 127 to 131:
god telling a story about a pure dove that dirties itself while lucifer is thinking about michael
10) michael saying this to lucifer on page 135:
"'(...) but i canceled it. i canceled all the plans i had for this.'"
11) michael to lucifer on page 147:
"'when i asked of you, angels said to me that your beauty was so great, one could take a glance, but never stare. (...) i learned that their words were true. when we wrestle, when we spend time together — the pain you give me is indescribable.'"
12) this paragraph on page 151:
"he discovered himself wanting to be afraid, feeling that he should be, knowing he should taste distress like his first visit to the bathhouse, but lucifer could still hear michael's words from when they had bathed. he thought of thorns, remembered those in his hands so long ago. the prince's eyes were shut; lucifer thought of tracing the bridge of his nose, his mouth, with his index, to see if he would prick him."
13) page 152:
lucifer and michael on earth, touching each other on their last day there
14) this paragraph on page 156:
"(...) but his hands went to lucifer's warm cheeks and, in a quick swoop, he planted his lips against lucifer's forehead; then he did it again, and again, pressing one kiss after another until he had done perhaps more than a dozen."
15) page 168 to 171:
lucifer and michael in lucifer's room, in front of his mirror
(lucifer's questions about why some things are the way they are... michael almost worshipping lucifer in front of their reflection... all the touches between them... oh i'm about to go feral—)
16) michael to lucifer on page 169:
"'for you, i wouldn't mind a little pain'"
17) page 177:
lucifer falling asleep in michael's bed without michael even being home
18) this paragraph on page 180:
"this, this here could be worship. "this—" lucifer pressed an innocent kiss to the prince's sweet, divine mouth. this could be religion."
19) page 181 to 183:
the interlude
(do i even have to say more? do i really have to go into detail about just how beautiful it is, and how every line sounds like poetry? i want to carve every word, every letter, into my skin, so deep that it reaches my bones, and stays with me long after i lose my flesh and soul)
20) these lines on page 201:
"the prince was grinning, waving him over, then offering open arms. when they embraced, it was tight, one of lucifer's hands going to michael's curls of hair and clutching it like an object once lost returned now to be cherished again; and the prince put his face up against the warmth of lucifer's neck and breathed low, hot."
21) page 210 to 216:
michael begging lucifer to stay with him, and then uriel showing up and just the entire conversation between him and michael, and him and lucifer
22) this paragraph on page 210:
"'simply my beloved.' michael smiled back, grand but sleepy, before he swung up to sit again. he shuffled closer to lucifer and chuckled warm, perhaps at the confusion on the other's irises and brows and mouth. 'my beloved lucifer.'"
23) michael to lucifer on page 211:
"'i think i'd like you to be the first thing i see when i wake.'"
24) page 250 to 253:
lucifer and michael touching each other, feeling each other
(i'm so weak for moments like these oh my god i could read a thousand pages just about every time these two even breathed in each other's direction)
25) this line on page 251:
"'i feel drunk,' michael murmured against him, then shuddered. 'your mouth— when you were created, your lips must have been laced with liquor.'"
26) these lines on page 253:
""we were over the flowers, and you touched me, remade me. (...) i want to be yours, your angel. angel of love, angel of michael.""
27) page 278 to 281:
lucifer cutting himself open
28) page 302 to 308:
lucifer trying to have sex with michael, and michael refusing
29) michael to lucifer on page 302:
"'don't make me say such embarrassing, affectionate things, beloved lucifer. but, let me say that — before i saw you on the street, dancing and singing, i was never very joyous. i was content with serving father, i felt i had no room to complain, but then you arrived. and being around you, i had so much joy i became irrational, and now — now, it's all spilling out. you make my heart swell and rise, like smoke."
30) michael to lucifer on page 303:
"'and suddenly i'm questioning everything, asking myself if this is really paradise, or if you are paradise.'"
31) lucifer to michael on page 304:
"'haven't you ever wondered why father is so strict about our subservience? it's because disobedience is creation. create with me, michael, and let's call it sin.'"
32) page 327:
lucifer finally losing his shit
33) page 328 to 330:
lucifer's speech about god being cruel and how angels are also good and deserve better
(just realized i didn't highlight this scene when i first read it and i'm honestly questioning myself right now because that whole speech and everything lucifer says is so fucking real)
34) page 340 to 344:
the moment michael disagrees with lucifer about the end of heaven and the end of god
35) michael to lucifer on page 344:
"'you're everything to me, the stars and the moons, the heat and the cold, the earth and the seeds, the waters and the flowers, but you are not god.'"
(also apparently didn't highlight this one and now i'm one hundred percent sure i ran out of sticky notes in that moment and told myself i'd do it later and ended up forgetting about it because this line absolutely broke me)
36) this paragraph on page 361:
"but the sword never made contact; a golden chain shot out from somewhere, grappled his entire body, flung him downwards. and lucifer, frozen, kicking, screaming — he saw michael suddenly above him (...). lucifer felt the tears land upon his own cheeks, as if they were his own."
(cut me open. let me bleed to death. break my ribs and crush my heart inbetween your fingers. it would hurt less than michael crying while hurting lucifer.)
37) page 362 to 367:
michael destroying lucifer on god's orders, cutting off his wings, and lucifer being damned
38) michael to lucifer on page 364:
"'apologize, i'm begging you, lucifer, stop, i can't do this— i don't want to lose you—'"
(just reading this again made me dry sob)
39) the last paragraph on page 367:
"the angels wept at their punishment — michael, between them all, his tears morphing into crystals, slicing down his cheeks and making him bleed."
40) page 369:
the little bits about the fallen angels finding lucifer on earth and how he loves them
so uhh yeah it's definitely safe to say that abm is literally my new favourite book now and i've been thinking about it every single day since i finished it a bit over a month ago and i find pieces of lucifer and of michael in every song i hear or every other story i read and i'll never get over them or over how good this book and the writing style is
@nicosraf seriously thank you so much for writing it and sharing it with the world, i will treasure it till the day i die
get the dca OUT of my face these two staff bots are my favourite now
from solar lunacy chapter 13!
I love them. Another amazing scene! They're just having a casual conversation while Peter is getting ready to go undercover and Neal is helping him get dressed. It's wonderful. 🥰
