@storyseekers event 21: minimalist —the song of achilles by madeline miller

“and perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone.”

yalitmeme: otps [1/8] → Achilles x Patroclus

The sorrow was so large it threatened to tear through my skin. When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.

five star reads of 2022 → the atlas six by @olivieblake

“we are empty and trying to fill, lighting ourselves on fire just to prove that we are normal—that we are ordinary. that we, like anything, can burn”

@mcquistonsource event 5: favorite characters  — THE SUPER SIX. 

↳ they meet the others in the hallway, henry passing for hungover but handsome, and alex just doing his best. bea is looking well-rested, fresh, and very smug about it. june, nora, and pez all emerge disheveled from their suite looking like the cats that caught the canaries, but it’s impossible to tell who is a cat and who is a canary. nora has a smudge of lipstick on the back of her neck. alex doesn’t ask.

cash chuckles under his breath when he meets them at the elevators, a tray of six coffees balanced on one hand. hangover tending isn’t part of his job description, but he’s a mother hen. 

“so this is the gang now, huh?”

@storyseekers event 15: character that i relate to - Libby Rhodes from The Atlas Six by @olivieblake

— She needed to believe she was meant for enormity; that the fulfilment of a destiny could make for the privilege of salvation, even if it didn’t feel that way right now.

@storyseekers event 21: minimalist — iron widow by @xiranjayzhao

“How do you take the fight out of half the population and render them willing slaves? You tell them they're meant to do nothing but serve from the minute they're born. You tell them they're weak. You tell them they're prey. You tell them over and over, until it's the only truth they're capable of living.”

@queerlitnet event 02: quotes

in the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.
