“I have all this history with you, Theo, but he has pieces of you puzzle that would destroy me if I ever had to put them together, and yet, I still want them”

“She said that, sometimes, dreams mean the opposite of what they show us. That we shouldn't understand them exactly as they are. It can mean something in our life is out of balance. Or maybe we're holding in too much. Especially when we lose someone, dreams show us the opposite of what it is we need to find balance again.”
― Dustin Thao

“But if for some reason this plan doesn't work, we need to promise to find each other in the afterlife. There has to be an afterlife, Roof, because it's the only thing that makes dying this young fair.”
― Adam Silvera, They Both Die at the End

“Hawk and I had a dream that shattered to bloody fragments right in front of our eyes. That dream dripped down my legs and I couldn’t stop it from leaving my body.
I didn’t properly grieve our child and every child we’ll never have because I had to stay strong and fight for Hawk and me.
But now, as he hugs me, his breathing deepening and his face burying in my neck, I can finally grieve.
Because the only other person who can feel the loss is grieving with me.”
― Rina Kent, Misted

“She is sending assassins after you because she thinks we are engaged, and thus her mad faerie logic tells her that I will devote my life to seeking revenge against her if she murders you."
"That's generally how these things go. You know the stories."
Of course I did. Deirde and the River Lord; The Princess of Shell Halls.*

*Deirde was an Irish queen who sent her army into Faerie to avenge the death of her faerie husband at the hands of his brothers. The Princess of Shell Halls is likely of French origin, a variant of La princesse et le trône de sel. "Sel," meaning salt, was likely mistranslated as "shell," but the framework of the story is the same: a faerie princess of an undersea kingdom dedicates her life to avenging the death of her betrothed, the prince of an island realm. This despite the fact that leaving the sea condemns her to a slow death, to which she eventually succumbs only after murdering the last of the conspirators in her fiancé's murder.”
