    • A Woman's Weapons

      • It should have been more awkward than it was--it should have been unthinkable--having her lover’s wife here in her parlor. But Chloë had a way of refusing to allow for awkwardness by refusing to acknowledge it, and as she settled herself on the striped silk settee and folded her small gloved hands in her lap, she looked as composed as she did anywhere else Dominique had ever seen her. It gave Dominique rather a dizzy feeling.

      Chloë, Dominique, gossip, code-breaking, burglary, and blackmail.

  • Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
    • our hearts like holy hostages

      • It’s Inej’s voice he hears in his head, calm, wise, an octave lower than anyone would expect it to be (like caramel, like milky-sweet coffee, like velvet and a thousand other things two little farm boys had fantasized about as they set eyes on Ketterdam for the first time). This is exactly the kind of intelligence you most want people to bring to you. You’ve paid for years for lackluster news just so that when this news arrived, anyone who discovered it would run to you without hesitation. Don’t ruin that now.

      As much as he resents it (it feels like weakness), Inej’s voice in his head is always right. He knows that as surely as he knows anything, and yet it still takes him a long, long time to get himself under control enough to respond.

      A simple job goes wrong, leaving Inej in the hands of an enemy. Kaz handles it about as well as you'd expect.
