This overwhelming, encompassing feeling is love. It's not perfect and it's messy as hell. And it's exactly what I need.

Baseball isn't just a game. It's the smell of popcorn drifting in the air, the sight of bugs buzzing near the stadium lights,the roughness of the dirt beneath your cleats. It's the anticipation building in your chest as the anthem plays, the adrenaline rush when your bat cracks against the ball, and the surge of blood when the umpire shouts after you pitch. It's a team full of guys backing your every move, a bleacher full of people cheering you on. It's...life

"I like you," Gary finally said in a low voice. "Thank you? I thought you already did." "No. Like, I like you. Before, I was just pretending. I actually think I almost despised you. But now I don't." "You almost despised me." "Almost." "And now you don't." "Now I don't." "Because...." Gary breathed more on his face, nostrils flaring. Then (finally), "Unicorns are fickle creatures. I don't need a reason to change my mind. It's been done and you should just accept it and be thankful I no longer plot to murder you in your sleep." "Testify," Tiggy said. "So now you have affection for me," Ryan said, "and you--" "I didn't say affection. I said I liked you, not that I'm ready to pick out curtains. Gods. Calm the fuck down. You're engaged to be married. I will not be your dirty little secret. I am a strong, independent unicorn, and I will not take your shit."

We went into the Dark Woods and I almost had to get gay fairy married again and now I feel really bad and Ryan got bad-touched by trees and Fairy King Dimitri was cryptic and annoying and apparently has a size kink.

"Put your arms around my neck, sweetheart." "Whatever for?" He grasped her wrists and lifted her arms himself. "Because," he whispered, "we're going to dance." ..... "This will never work. I appreciate the thought. It's very sweet, but-" "Shut up," he whispered. The first notes of the next number drifted to them, and she realized it was the band's rendition of Montgomery's hit song, "I swear." Tears sprang to her eyes, for the instant she recognized the tune, she knew Ryan had requested it. "Dance with me," he whispered. "I feel foolish." "Who'll see? Only me, and I'm our best bud, so I don't count. Besides, why should you feel foolish?" "My legs are dangling. My feet will thump your shins." "Those soft slippers won't hurt my shins," he assured her. And with that, he swept her into a waltz. -Ryan and Bethany (Phantom Waltz)"

"Gary's eyes narrowed. "I'm pretty sure I don't like you." "My world is crumbling," Ryan said. I might have laughed. Because sass."

I glanced back at my merry little band of travelers. A hornless gay unicorn. A half-giant. A knight who was a jerk but that I wanted to have for breakfast.

"Ryan shrugged. "You're adorable. With your angry glitter." And Gary blushed. His whole face. Never before in the strange and sordid history of our super-best friendship had I ever seen him blush."

"Can you sign something?" Nicole demanded. "This paper? This napkin? My chest? My inner thighs or my wildest dreams? Whatever you want."

Another fairy flew up, carrying a spear and wearing a helmet and not much else. I thought about asking why he had armor on his head and not his balls, but I didn't think that was proper etiquette while being held prisoner by the Dark Woods fairies.

"You okay, Sam?" "Ha-ha, why wouldn't I be? Everything is peachy! I'm okay. I'm than okay." "Okay. I only ask because you haven't stopped staring at me for the last four hours." "You lie with all your lies!"

"Hey, Sam. Want to join me in the river? We can bathe before the sun sets and it gets too cold." " ." "What?" "Stay back, foul temptress!" "What?" "Er. Not you. Uh. I... sensed the presence of a succubus. Like, near here. Ooooh. So very near." "You can do that?" "Yes. Yes I can. Because I have magic. And my succubus-tracking abilities. It's a thing. A real thing. That I do all the time." "Riiiight. Your magical succubus-tracking abilities."

"I believe in the unity of all living things. God is in us and in all that exists." "So, when you eat a carrot, aren't you eating God?"
