And Neil held on. He held onto Andrew, gripping his shirt hard enough that his knuckles started to turn white. “You’re here,” Neil breathed. Andrew lowered his head onto Neil’s shoulder and sighed, breathing in that familiar scent. That smoke. “I am.”

This is such an underrated pynch moment from bllb and I love it

[emmerrr]

I feel like I’ve read a lot of hcs about andrew finding neil’s duffle bag and keys and realizing that he must have been taken because he would never leave his keys behind

but consider this: andrew finding the duffel bag and the keys and thinking that neil finally ran away, he finally did it, he left neil josten behind. andrew realizing all at once just how much he wanted neil to stay, how much he wanted neil to stay for him. 

andrew remembering neil’s goodbye (thank you. you were amazing) and thinking neil was willingly leaving him with only a thank you, andrew being so fucking pissed and thinking maybe, just maybe, if he had actually acknowledged that they weren’t nothing maybe neil would have stayed.

andrew being pissed at himself for getting attached to this runaway boy. this con artist. this nobody. pissed at himself for believing that he would see andrew as a home. 

andrew finding out neil actually didn’t leave him and in fact was kidnapped and tortured and having one tiny, tiny moment of relief before it’s just so much pain, knowing neil was hurt and andrew couldn’t fight whoever did it. 

andrew never taking his eyes off neil in the hotel in baltimore and just thinking over and over that he was wrong, neil didn’t leave of his own volition, neil wanted him, neil wanted him. and then neil is faced with the option of going in witness protection - something nathaniel would have killed for, to be away from his father’s men for good and never having to worry again - and he chooses to stay, because andrew and the foxes are home. 

andrew failing to correct neil on purpose when he says they’re something because he wants to make sure neil knows he has a reason to stay.

If Netflix or whoever decides to adapt six of crows into a tv show I need there to be a teaser trailer with none of the main characters, it’s just an unnamed old man in a work shop filled with steampunk prosthetics and other aids and when he’s finally done he holds up whatever he was working on and it’s a crows head cane and the screen changes to a date but then right before the trailer ends there’s a clip of a gloved hand wrapping around the handle

[jacespunkdad]

Blue Sargent: No.

Richard Campbell Gansey III: Gansey.

Ronan Lynch: You missed World Hist. I thought you were dead in a ditch.

hi! it’s almost the first anniversary of me reluctantly and warily beginning the raven cycle series and I only just noticed that the first page of The Raven Boys:

perfectly mirrors the first page of The Raven King:

in conclusion kids: I can’t fucking read! :)

[feistiest]

neil josten is such a blessing he was literally on the verge of collapsing on court during their last game w the ravens and he Still had the audacity to call riko a worthless piece of shit like this boy could very well be dying of lack of air in his lungs and his last breath would be to tell riko to go fuck himself god bless honestly

[thepalmettofoxes]

Neil: I need to keep a low profile. I can’t have people getting attached to me.

Andrew: That won’t be a problem.

The best part of re-reading a book is seeing the early interactions of your canon ships and being like “you don’t even know that that’s the love of your LIFE right there… but I do!” It’s like such a wonderful, satisfying, Look-How-Far-We’ve-Come moment.
