(Disclaimer: Loving someone who's unloving toward you, as long as you don't sacrifice or disrespect your own self in the process, is an act of true compassion.

It is, naturally, easier to love someone who's loving toward you. It takes a lot more to show love, and to show it consistently to someone not showing it to you.

Oh, you speak of power. Where is that power now? Where are your allies? Where’s your little spider? You’re alone, Mr. Brekker. There’s no one coming for you.

I’m so excited to have participated in the @grishaversebigbang this year! This edit goes along with Lu @amethystnightsky‘s fic “Broken Crown,” which you can read here (tumblr) or here (ao3)! Special thanks to Lisa @nomattertheoceans for beta reading!

I’d also like to give a shout out to my fellow materialki, you should really check out their pieces as well! They’ll be linked below as they’re posted.
