| 50eebce | conversion is the creation of new desires, not just new duties; new delights, not just new deeds; new treasures, not just new tasks. | John Piper | ||
| c91c2b0 | The sword's a really nice touch--did you get it at Faire Makers?--but I'm not buying the attitude. It's not really Merit. You should be channeling your inner vampire sex warrior. Like this," she said, then put her hands on her hips, canted out one leg, and smiled sensually. "What?" was all I could think to say. "Maybe a little more cleavage, too." "Cleavage." She nodded, winked. "A vampire sex warrior can never show too much cleavage." | Chloe Neill | ||
| 6ce9bd0 | He wore a gray hoodie with the green Jakob's Quest logo across the front. Dear God, I thought. The RG had a Jeff. | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 647d3d7 | I love you, Ethan, and I love this city. And however much I fought, I love this goddamn House. It's part of me, and I'm part of it. I'm not going to stand here and watch a man tear down everything that you've build. I'm not. And if that means I have to chase another man who threatens this House, or apologize to you more than I like, so be it. I don't want that, but I can live with it. Because I can't live without you. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 00194a7 | Those moments never seem to last long enough. The song ends, the breeze stills, the worries and fears creep in again and you're left trying to move forward, but glancing back at the mountain behind you, wondering how you managed to cross it, afraid you really didn't--that the bulk and shadow over your shoulder might evaporate and re-form before you, and you'd be faced with the burden of crossing it again. The song ends, and you stare at the.. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 312db9b | Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood. --Daniel Burnham | Chloe Neill | ||
| 1cd7490 | Les heures passerent. Meme si la defense et la guerre n'avaient jamais ete mon dada, la securite des vampires etait hautement contextuelle et donc incroyablement interessante. Il y avait des liens avec l'histoire (les vampires s'etaient fait baiser par le passe!), la politique (La Maison X nous avait baise par le passe!), la philosophie (pourquoi croyez-vous qu'on nous avait baise par le passe?) l'ethique (si nous ne buvions pas le sang des.. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 3eaa05a | How to lie without lying? Avoid answering the question. | lily-parker | Chloe Neill | |
| d6fc233 | memories are the most powerful chains, | Chloe Neill | ||
| 0d6e145 | Courage has nothing to do with winning," I quietly said. "Courage is about fighting the good fight. Stepping forward, even when stepping forward is the crappiest of all possible options." | Chloe Neill | ||
| 6e471c5 | Would you put it past Darth Sullivan to figure out a way to haunt you postmortem? He's probably holding staff meetings in the afterworld. Offering up performance evaluations. Issuing dictates. | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| e2a937f | Sullivan, just pick it up." He glanced at me, spearing a chunk of hot dog with his fork. "My way is more genteel." I took another gigantic bite, and told him between chews, "Your way is more tight ass." "Your respect for me, Sentinel, is astounding." I grinned at him. "I'd respect you more if you took a bite of that dog." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| f32f8a7 | If you use the word 'halt,' I will hit you." "Not halt," he breathlessly said. "Upstairs. Now." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 5ebfe3a | It's your job to be worried," I said lightly, squeezing his hand. "That's why we pay you the big bucks. Which you are apparently going to hand over to the NAC in order to keep that car in the garage." "Never fear, Sentinel. I will still be able to keep you in bacon." "Damn right," I said. "You know your priorities." Ethan rolled his eyes and slapped me on the butt." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 05e5909 | together--"like a moth to a flame, there'd be nothing left." | Chloe Neill | ||
| e891abd | I had a sense of your passion when we met, Merit. When you first stormed into my House with fire in your eyes." "That wasn't fire. That was sheer, unmitigated fury." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 679b723 | An image of Luc's face flashed on my screen, his finger waggling. "Time to go outside!" it said. "Time to go outside!" I tried to silence it, reduce the volume, and turn off the phone, but to no avail. Luc had definitely created a reminder for our outdoor guarding duties--and there was no way to turn it off. I grimaced at the phone and showed it to Ethan. "We have a monster on our hands." | luc merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 8b7a764 | But night came again, because night, like death and taxes, was inevitable. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 549c586 | He was an imperialistic, self-righteous pain in the ass. But he was my pain in the ass, you know? And tonight, I won't be with him. That definitely feels strange. | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 297ad51 | Why the long face?" "Is there anyone who isn't infatuated with you?" I smiled at him, with teeth. "If not, it's because you haven't assigned them to me yet. Mata Hari at your service. Would you like to add him to the list?" "I don't appreciate your sarcasm." "I don't appreciate being handed out like a party favor." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 6f0f924 | Catcher, you're a boy. I've known you for like a week." Two months, actually, but who was counting? "I've known Merit for years. I mean, the sex is great and all, but she's my BFF." - Mallory" | Chloe Neill | ||
| 6f0d53f | At least you had sense enough not to attempt to lead this particular away team." "Star Trek," I murmured, picking out one of Luc's ubiquitous movie and television references. "I have trained you well, Padawan." "You're mixing your Wars and Treks," Jeff pointed out. "They're interchangeable," Luc said, earning a horrified look from Jeff." | luc | Chloe Neill | |
| 72e9533 | I'm glad to know you have a sense of humor." "I'm a vampire, not a zombie." "Good to know." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 3f0c5db | I took a moment before heading inside to share the evening's most important news in a quick text to Mallory: ETHAN EATS TOAST WITH A FORK. It took a moment before she responded. DARTH SULLIVAN = PRETENTIOUS HOTTIE, she responded. | mallory-carmichael merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 5c88df6 | Luc is busy protecting our vampires." "Luc is your bodyguard. He swore an oath to protect you." An irritated shake of his head. "You're in this already." "Luc was there when you explained the raves, helped you plan for my involvement, and I'm sure you've brought him up to speed about what we learned so far. He knows everything that I know." "Luc was busy." "I was busy." "Luc isn't you." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| d237f8b | I was impressed that she looked so good on so little sleep. I'd have looked like a plague victim on a bad hair day. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 7261607 | Hot beef in the name of peace. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 4c41bfa | Next steps?" I asked, turning him back to business once again. "A stiff drink?" "Have I finally driven you to alcohol, Sentinel?" | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 03c4eb0 | And that," she said, putting the shaker back on the bar, "is how vampires make rainbows." - Lindsey" | Chloe Neill | ||
| 283d869 | I need gnome books. You know, because sorcerers just don't get them." He didn't get the joke." | Chloe Neill | ||
| 187e8ee | Opportunities to wear denim to the office don't come along very often in Cadogan House." Ethan chuckled, then pushed off the bureau and pulled a black suit coat from a valet stand. "I hear the Master can be such a pain in the ass." He definitely had his moments." -- | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 0a966e1 | do you want to be with a man who has to be convinced to be with you? | Chloe Neill | ||
| 9d5b883 | There are some decisions that we make, and some that are made for us. Sometimes you accept the path that's offered to you, and you live the path - that life - with grace. And sometimes you push forward, and you chart your own path. That decision is yours. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 4d3fdd0 | Laugh. Always choose to laugh. | Chloe Neill | ||
| f7dab59 | Snug pants, bandeau-type corset, and trim, motorcycle jacket. It was a fabulous outfit, but it was so urban-fantasy book cover | leather urban-fantasy vampires | Chloe Neill | |
| 53e3f13 | Grief was a miserable emotion. A friend once told me the hurt that came with the end of a relationship was painful because it was the death of a dream--the future you'd imagined with a lover, a loved one, a child, or a friend. That loss was its own painful, nearly tangible thing. You had to reimagine your future, perhaps in a different place, with different people, doing different things than you might have first imagined. | Chloe Neill | ||
| da20ff4 | Luc would have put my head on a pike if you'd taken a hit." "How do you know I didn't?" I opened my mouth, then closed it again. "Did you?" His eyes went to sultry slits. "Do you want to look and see?" "Not especially." Liar, liar, pants on fire." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 3876421 | There is nothing we want quite as much as the thing we know we can't have. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 2bbdf85 | He does seem to have a lot of willpower." "That is an understatement," I agreed. "Tall, blond, and stubborn." | paige | Chloe Neill | |
| a08f5fb | And I agree that you should be basking in my glory . . . especially since I took a stake through the heart to save your life." I couldn't help but grin. "And it didn't even take you twenty-four hours to remind me." "One uses the tools at one's disposal, Sentinel." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 78e5868 | Oh, that turned out nicely," Lindsey said, hands on her hips as she surveyed it, then smiled at Mallory. "Is your house just covered in glitter now?" Mallory stepped back, adjusted my sash carefully. "It's every-freaking-where. It's probably the perfect vector for worldwide contagion, should any bad guys figure that out." | Chloe Neill | ||
| f370182 | You got shot?" "A couple of times, as it turns out. They aren't lying about the immortality thing." | Chloe Neill | ||
| 002eaaf | Supernatural man drama was making me grouchy. | Chloe Neill | ||
| d555bfc | Have you ever noticed that however uncomfortable you might have been when you first went to bed-the room too hot or too cold; the pillows not quite right; the mattress lumpy; the sheets sratchy-by the time you should get up, your bed has transformed itself into the Platonic ideal of beds? The room is cool, the bed is soft, and the pillow may as well have been God's Own Headrest. | Chloe Neill |
