I Love Slade Your Honor. I Love Him So Much.

I love Slade your honor. I love him so much.

“I just spent eight hours terrified of what condition I’d find you in, and I’m telling you that I don’t just want you. I need you. There are your three words.”

I don’t think the significance of Violet telling Xaden she “needs” him has been talked about enough.

It’s more than just a substitute for “I love you”. This is Violet metaphorically baring her throat to Xaden, exposing her weakness to him. She’s not ready to tell him that she loves him yet, but she’s telling him how important he is to her, to her very existence, beyond the fact that if he dies, she dies.

In this scene in Iron Flame when Violet has left Basgiath without leave, Xaden acts like it’s a revelation to him how much Violet cares about him (never beating the abandonment issues allegations), and she recognises this in him and responds by telling him how valuable he is to her.

“I need you.” Maybe need isn’t the right word, but there’s no other term that captures how essential he is to my existence.

I don’t think we should act like needing him is just a stepping stone to loving him. Those are two entirely different emotions to feel about someone, and in some ways needing Xaden is so much more than loving him. Violet needs Xaden and vice versa. Telling him that proves more about her love for him than those exact words ever could, and I think Xaden realises that.

“I need you more, Violet […] However much you think you need this, need me—I need you more.”

I will never be normal about these two characters.

"And you are bound to some ... Fae male. A High Lord's son." "His name is Lucien."

Elain arriving at Grayen's estate to profess her love for him, hoping he'll take her back but finding it absolutely necessary in that moment to remind her fiance that her mate has a name. Very mindful, very demure.
