My characters as Portrait of Dorian Gray (Chapters 1-4) quotes:

[magicalprofessorranchdiplomat]

“Someday, Silus, I’d like to tell you a story about a little girl who really wanted to be loved…

And she went on a journey of self discovery, as little people do, and she learned a lot of things. She learned, first, how to not be a girl anymore. They liked learning this, so they kept learning. They learned, second, how to not trust anymore. They felt this was valuable, so they kept learning. They learned, third, how to not hope anymore, and the more they learned the more bitter they became, until they realized that they were no longer lovable, and it was no longer fair to ask others to love them.

They became afraid of the word, because it reminded them of hope, and of trust, and all of the things they’d unlearned to protect themself in a darker period.

But then they met a boy, and he said it over and over again—with his eyes, with his touch, with his voice—and the word “love” became a little less scary. And they started to wonder again if they could be a person who wanted to be loved.”

(Technically this is an AU but I’m putting it here because I’m FEELING THINGS)
