How Are You So Quiet About It? Your Sadness I Mean. How Do You Hold It In Your Chest, In Your Eyes, In

how are you so quiet about it? your sadness i mean. how do you hold it in your chest, in your eyes, in your teeth without letting it speak; how does it stay still?

If/when we get Elain's book, I want Elain talking to Feyre, I want to see them bond as sisters, I want to see Elain and Rhysand being friends, if not acting like brother and sister, because that's technically what their relationship is.

I also want Elain to have agency, and to make decisions for herself and have character development, but I think if she gets her own book that's kinda a given.

really just some of my favourite quotes and situations. all pronouns have been changed to they/them so they can apply to anyone but feel free to change them again when you send them.

DIALOGUE

“ The colour yellow makes [name] look like a singed daffodil. ”

“ I won’t offer you a penny for your thoughts, since I know they can’t possibly be worth that much, but what are you thinking? ”

“ It counts for a lot. And you are my [relation]. In every way that matters. ”

“ A husband can break a heart with greater intensity than a mere suitor. ”

“ Oh, yes, I know the secret language of corgis. ”

“ I’m sorry, [name]. I didn’t mean to tease. ”

“ I wasn’t - well, all right, I was, but did you see them? They’re shameless. ”

“ We don’t like each other, that much is true, but I do respect you in an odd, perverted sort of way. ”

“ I promised [name] I would be on my best behaviour. ”

“ I suspect you’ll fit right in with the rest of us schemers and cheaters. ”

“ What am I not going to do to you might be a more appropriate question. ”

“ This has to be the most self-centred thing I’ve ever said, but no, I think you just wanted to vex me. ”

“ Do you still hate me? ”

“ I do hate a bully, don’t you? ”

“ He was… he was… He was a hero. ”

“ I’m sure I sound insufferably optimistic, but I think there must be some master plan in life. ”

“ It can often be most difficult to share one’s fears with those one most deeply loves. ”

“ Right here, right now, in this moment, in this garden, you’re perfect.”

“ It was obvious to me that they were smitten. I do not know why no one else saw it.”

“ Tell me. Tell me how to make it right. ”

“ Listen to me and listen well, because I’m only going to say this once. I desire you. I burn for you. I can’t sleep at night for wanting you. ”

“ I do think [name] might be in love. ”

“ I love you, [name]. It took me a while to figure it out, but I do, and I had to tell you. Today. ”

do it. be bold.

we must continue our ruse until i’ve found my match.

me, unavailable; you, desirable.

i trusted you more than anyone in this world, and you took advantage.

you do not know me, but i know you.

you have no idea what it is to have one’s entire life reduced to a single moment.

is this not lovely? all of us together again.

an expert in the art of the swoon.

i wish to be entertained.

it would be better if you refrain from thinking about me at all.

lovely indeed. we should tempt scandal more often.

the social season is upon us.

your love is an unrequited fantasy.

i cannot stop thinking of you.

i am anything but interested in you.

it is more than just your honor at stake.

i write in my diary which is not the same as writing in my novel.

a pairing like that would be most enchanting indeed.

the season’s diamond, even more precious and rare a stone than previously thought?

stare into my eyes.

is it awful that i’m enjoying it?

if you desire the sun and the moon, all you have to do is go out and shoot at the sky.

we could pretend to form an attachment.

if there is a scandal, i shall uncover it.

must our only options be to squawk and settle or to never leave the nest?

all is fair in love and war.

there is nothing you cannot do.

my honor is not for sale.

if this is to work, we must appear madly in love.

i’m aware of your reputation.

do not tell me that is another scandal sheet.

you’ve always amused me.

we find ourselves seated next to each other. i’d think you’d be happy about that.

marriage has it joys, but it also brings with it its special trials.

it’d be better if you refrain from thinking about me at all.

you do not know me, and never shall.

you do not humiliate the one you love. 

i’m aware of your reputation and i am anything but interested in you.

what if i want to fly?

the ones we love have the power to inflict the greatest scars.

every presumptuous mother in town will leave me alone and every suitor will be looking at you.

you do not trick the one you love.

if you desire the sun and the moon, all you have to do is go out and shoot at the sky.

let it be known that if there is a scandal, i shall uncover it.

you think that just because i’m a woman, i’m incapable of making my own choices?

love, conquers all.

you can choose to love me as much as i love you.

i am tired of pretending.

from the mornings you ease, to the evenings you quiet, to the dreams you inhabit my thoughts of you never end.

i cannot continue acting as if i do not love you. because i do.

i love all of you.

i cannot be your fool again.

the brighter a lady shines, the faster she may burn.

we chose to love each other every single day.

pride, it will cost you everything and leave you with nothing.

i am looking out for myself.

you don’t deserve to breathe the same air as her.

you must simply marry the man who feels like your dearest friend.

i am ensuring my own future. because i know in my heart i know that there is no one else who ever will.

you do not lie to the one you love.

to meet a beautiful woman is one thing, but to meet your best friend in the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart.

circumstances change, ladies. sometimes over night.

her heart is no matter, as long as her hand remains free.

you cannot assure me of everything.

i will always protect you.

i believe i should like to stay.

i believe you should like to go.

what others should ever want such damaged goods now?

you have no idea what it is to be a woman.

you are perfection itself.

what? you don’t love me for my subtlety.

would you rather die than marry me?

i am yours, i have always been yours.

it is you i cannot sacrifice.

i burn for you.

it pains me you should think every compliment a mockery.

i ask you, can the ends ever justify such wretched means?

I would be so interested with sticking Jane in the Bridgerton universe.

Her first London season as Mrs. Bingley would be so fun to write.
