3 and 4 for the fic 😊
Oh shit, alright.
What’s your favorite line of narration?Oh man. The end of Ch. 18 and the end of Ch. 19 are probably tied as far as like, what I think the best narration I’ve written is. But my favorite is this, from Ch. 11:
When all the food was gone and Carmilla had run out of constellations she could name - and Laura had run out of questions she could answer - they lay on their backs, Laura’s head on Carmilla’s stomach, quietly looking at the expanse above them. Carmilla played with Laura’s hair absentmindedly, her other hand holding Laura’s. The silence between them was comfortable, quiet; the infinity above them seemed kind. Carmilla felt a deep contentment settle into her bones, and she closed her eyes, trying to commit the moment to memory.
What’s your favorite line of dialogue?Okay, it’s more than a line, but it’s this, from Ch. 14:
“Yeah, and then what?” Carmilla fired back. “All your problems would be magically fixed because you’re married and you love each other? God, sometimes you’re as bad as Laura. Marriage isn’t a band-aid you can slap on a broken relationship and pretend it’ll make things better. And, frankly, if you loved her, you wouldn’t put conditions like that on your relationship. You’ll only love her if what? If she marries you even when she thinks that’ll make things worse? If she never points out you’re not being a good partner? How many sacrifices do you need before you’ll love her in return?”
But it is very closely followed by Carmilla’s text to LaF in the same chapter, LaF’s monologue toward Perry also in that chapter, and Carmilla’s line in Ch. 18 “Food or sex? What’s my priority right now? I mean, sweetheart, look at you. I’m voting sex.”
