“Annabelle’s eyes stung as she stared at him, while need and inexhaustible tenderness gathered like an ache in her body. “I realized something,â€� she said huskily, “when I was standing outside the foundry, watching it burn and knowing you were inside.â€� She swallowed hard against the thickness in her throat. “I would rather have died in your arms, Simon, than face a lifetime without you. All those endless yearsâ€� all those winters, summersâ€� a hundred seasons of wanting you and never having you. Growing old, while you stayed eternally young in my memories.â€� She bit her lip and shook her head, while her eyes flooded. “I was wrong when I told you that I didn’t know where I belonged. I do. With you, Simon. Nothing matters except being with you. You’re stuck with me forever, and I’ll never listen when you tell me to go.â€� She managed a tremulous smile. “So you may as well stop complaining and resign yourself to it.”

He'd been waiting for her from the moment he'd been born.

And as if she'd heard him, Bryce exploded into life.”

“Hunt's fingers stroked over her brow. 'I thought to myself, There's someone I want guarding my back. There's a friend I'd live to have. I think I gave you such a hard time when we met up again because... because some part of me knew that, and was afraid of what it'd mean.”
― Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood

“This wasn't supposed to happen- between us,' she whispered.

'I know,' he said, kissing her shaking fingers again. He gently unfurled them, exposing the heart of her palm. He pressed his mouth there, too. 'But thank fucking Urd it did.'

Her hands stopped shaking. Hunt lifted his eyes from her hand to find her own lined with silver- and full of fire. He interlaced their fingers. 'For fuck's sake, just kiss me, Quinlan.”
― Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood

“Hunt.' The entire world went quiet. 'I was waiting for you.'

'Bryce, sweetheart, just get back to your apartment and give me an hour and-'

Hunt couldn't stop his own tears then. 'I was waiting for you, too.”
― Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood

“I love you. I wish I'd said it more. But I love you, Quinlan, and...' His throat closed up, his eyes stinging. His lips brushed her brow. 'Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again. I promise.”

'Everything I am is yours,' she said against his lips.”
― Sarah J. Maas, House of Sky and Breath

― Sarah J. Maas, House of Sky and Breath

“I want a future with you. That's why I'm going. I'm going to fight for that future.' His sister's eyes softened. Hunt kissed her hands. 'And to do so, we can't play by other people's rules.”
― Sarah J. Maas, House of Sky and Breath

“Guardian Of The Forest by Stewart Stafford

Follow the stag, a voice whispered,
For he is the guardian of the forest,
Fleeing danger to well-worn tracks,
Rejuvenating stream water sheen.

Pulchritudinous spiked crown atop,
Surveying all subjects of his realm,
From snow-capped ermine peaks,
Defying resistance of challengers.

Hunters inch closer to their quarry,
In bloodlust desecration, blinded,
To the martyred immortal nobility,
Soaring to the Heavens in rebirth.

“A hunter's unbridled passion for his victim pulsed in time with a swelled vein on his temple. Even when sated, a cat will pounce on a bird with a broken wing because that is how the cat and all her ancestors were made: the bird acts like a victim and the sweetness of harsh punish- ment for the victim is, for the hunter, stronger than hunger and more demanding than lust.”
