‘By the time you see this announcement,’ he says, ‘I will be dead.’ He goes on to say that it wasn’t a career in law enforcement that killed him but two packs of cigarettes a day. I saw this at about three o'clock in the morning, alone in my apartment, on a black-and-white set with lots of interference. White noise and snow. He seemed to be speaking directly at me, right out of the television set.  For a moment I was disoriented, seized by panic; could a ghost embody itself through wavelengths, electronic dots, a picture tube? What are the dead, anyway, but waves and energy? Light shining from a dead star?’         - The Secret History by Donna Tartt

The Raven Cycle Challenge | 2/4 Locations - Aglionby Academy

Aglionby Academy was the number one reason Blue had developed her two rules

Then he turned around. He still had the pistol. ‘Come here,’ he said to Camilla. She looked at him in horror. So did Francis and I. He beckoned to her with his gun arm. ‘Come here,’ he said. ‘Quick.’ […] Camilla took a step away from him. Her gaze was terrified. ‘No, Henry,’ she said, ‘don’t…’ To my surprise, he smiled at her. ‘You think I’d hurt you?’ he said. ‘Come here.’ She went to him. He kissed her between the eyes, then whispered something - what, I’ve always wondered - in her ear.  […] Henry kissed Camilla again. ‘I love you,’ he said.

the secret history characters (1/6): edmund “bunny” corcoran

He would be amiable, charming, chatting in his old distracted manner when, in the same manner and without missing a beat, he would lean back in his chair and come out with something so horrendous, so backhanded, so unanswerable, that I would vow not to forget it, and never to forgive him again. I broke that promise many times.

The secret history + Hogwarts Houses: CAMILLA MACAULAY

“In many ways she was as cool and competent as Henry; tough-minded and solitary in her habits, and in many ways as aloof.”

all of them, to me, seemed highly unapproachable

She was a living reverie for me: the mere sight of her sparked an almost infinite range of fantasy, from Greek to Gothic, from vulgar to divine.

we were not allowed outside • the secret history fanmix ♦♦♦

in the hour of night, we take from ourselves we replace and reward it’s the balance of thoughts seeks to find affirmation, speaking in tongues take the words through you
