Martha Wells, Exit Strategy (2018)
The sacrifices Murderbot makes for its humans 🥺
finally finished my asos reread. i forgot how diabolical the last chapters are like what do you mean we get deeply introspective jon admitting to his desires for winterfell and lordship and children and comparing ghost to a weirwood and ‘he belonged to the old gods, this one’ and then denying all his desires bc winterfell belongs to the old gods too (and later these thoughts will become the declaration ‘winterfell belongs to my sister sansa’) and he chooses to deny his claim bc his love for the starks supersedes everything and then thinks of val up in her tower ‘i am not the man to steal you out of there’ (continuing his self denial and denying himself the role of the romantic hero) and then immediately he’s raised up to lord commander and then next chapter we get sansa as a bastard (their swapped social positions are full circle now) abruptly waking up to snowfall and being drawn to the yard that was meant to be a godswood but no weirwood can take root and ‘the eyrie was no home’ and ‘a godswood without gods, as empty as me’ and ‘she stepped out all the same’ and then the snow is like lovers kisses and like innocence and dreams and she literally rebuilds winterfell out of snow but her momentary peace is shattered by ‘dawn stealing into her garden like a thief’ and men who only want her for her beauty and claim and then she’s almost thrown out of a tower (later she will think of Jon explicitly for the first time since book 1). like oh my goddddd
Naruto completly understood Sasuke as a person in this moment btw
It boggles my mind that people don’t reread books or rewatch shows that bring them joy or comfort.
It’s the smalls things that get you through.
Wolfstar fics that I would totally read a 3rd time (mostly a list for me but someone asked me to share. Some of these already have read a 3rd time or more, will star )
~~~please give these authors love, fandom engagement with writers is down and it means more than you know. ~~~

“I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realised I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites.”
Up there with ‘it is a truth universally acknowledged’.
Viv was suddenly awash in an old feeling of fraught potential. A critical instant that hinged on the movement of a blade, the placement of a foot, a moment of trust extended or withheld. Failure to act was as much a decision as any other.
