    Summary

    'there's a bite to you now, hard-earned and fierce—rotten, sharp teeth. your wrist still hurts, years and years later; it never healed, not quite, and everything else hurts too sometimes, those walls not enough for to hold it all. but still, always, you find ways to be kind.'

    trinity, before ptmc—& those first few months after.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    your mind plays tricks on you, and your body aches; your walls are still up because it's the only way you'll ever be safe, but but you learn about cracks, and windows. and you're a good doctor; you care, deeply, and there are some days where it isn't terrifying to say it, to show it. sometimes you wake up late on your days off and marvel at it all, even the rough bits: the way your hips creak and your shoulders pop as you stretch, the tattoos on your skin, dennis' terrible music drifting in from down the hall while he makes breakfast. you're startled sometimes, by the regret that tastes like blood and your mouth and also by the days you can swallow it whole, take count of your strong pulse, and walk into the sunlight.

    Summary

    He should have told someone about his mother’s lipstick on the pristine white of Daemon Targaryen’s shirt — or about how she had been getting ready to meet him in the foyer of the fencing school. Jace berated himself for staying silent because he had no doubt of who his mother had met — and it was his fault that it had come to this.

    Jace looked at his mother, wondering if she would tell at least him the truth. Luke was too clueless, and perhaps it was for the best that he did not know just yet, but she could not ignore her oldest son. He felt like an accomplice because he had seen them — not quite together but not really apart. 

    or: Jace witnesses his mother ruin everything he loves — and wonders why she would do that.

    Summary

    "I think you are full of yours-"

    "And I think," Rhaenyra interrupted, now practically towering over her. Her breath was hot and sweet on Alicent’s face. "You can't stop yourself from liking it."

    Alicent scoffed, but she felt her heart drop in real time. She had flown too close to the sun.

    "Liking what? An entitled, twenty something brat who can't handle a rejection?"

    "Rejection?" Rhaenyra's eyebrows rose, something dangerous glowing in her eyes. An opportunity. "Is that what you call it now?"

    "Careful, Professor. You will be feeling me for days."

    "That’s the plan. Get to it," Alicent repeated once more. Harsher. Keeping her eyes leveled and with no intention of letting the power slip through her hands. She was still the one in control here, no matter what Rhaenyra was doing to her body.

    Neither dared to break the eye contact, Rhaenyra was practically vibrating with determination and attitude, but it was easy to see through this loud exterior and view her motivations for what they really were.

    Acts of service.

    It wasn’t about conquering Alicent, it was about proving Rhaenyra’s own worth to her.

    Summary

    The idle thought at the back of Glinda’s mind is that Nessarose never talked about her sister as beautiful.

    She shakes herself to stop those thoughts, knowing she can’t have them, and instead gives Elphaba a smile. “Congratulations,” she says sweetly. “Nessarose never told me how talented you were.”

    “Thank you,” Elphaba says, and takes a sip of her champagne. “So kind of you to come over when there are still reporters watching.”

    “I...I didn’t-”
