empress of fire [semi-hiatus]

when zevran’s way of describing someone he loved, who was “everything [he] thought [he] desired”, is not any of his usual ways of flattering someone but “tough, smooth, wicked. eyes that gleamed like justice” i do have to just sit there head in hands for a second

EYES THAT GLEAMED LIKE JUSTICE. do you understand how crazy that is. do you understand that this assassin who claims to value nothing but brief pleasure and the thrill of the hunt says eyes that gleamed like justice because of all things, justice is the most beautiful comparison he can make. when has he ever seen justice in his life except in her eyes. WHAT!!!

whats more special than a romance between two women who both have something deeply deeply deeply deeply deeply wrong with them
