Icarus

my fav thing about the entire "Should I tell you that when we're apart, your body comes back to me in dreams..." quote is that Henry sends it in the SAME EMAIL where he had just offered : "If you wanted less of me, and more of that- the work, the uncomplicated things-I would understand. Truly." my man said I totalllyyy get it if u wanna back off emotions and just have sex bc ur mom kicked u off the campaign hahaha but anyways here's an all but flat out declaration of love

chanelling my inner alex claremont-diaz rn (running on four hours of sleep and a questionable amount of coffee while screaming about queer princes)

to my star 2 really held our faces between gentle hands, looked us in the eye and whispered: you will be happy. even when you mess up, even when you love messily and some days can’t love properly at all, even when your mind is falling apart and you feel like you’re barely holding on, even when you spend a lifetime hating yourself, even in the face of abandonment, even when you don’t know how to apologise and words get stuck in your throat, even when you don’t think you deserve it. because in the end, life is this, a series of human fuck ups. and in your humanity you can do things wrong, as long as you repent, as long as you finally speak up, as long as you are understood. there’s always a place for you.

I've been crying. I can't stop crying and shaking. We get to have this. We get to see them on screen, happy. In love. On purpose. They're gonna make history. And we get to have this. This book saved my life. And I get to have this.
