Rachel Vincent
I don't have you, and without you, it feels like what I do have doesn't matter.Collection: Matter
Exactly what part of that is supposed to make me feel better?" Though, honestly, hearing that she was jealous of me did make me feel a teeny, tiny bit better.Collection: Jealous
What are you gonna say?" Emma asked. " 'I'm not sure I want you back, but I'm sure I don't want your ex-con ex-girlfriend to have you, either'? Yeah. That'll start this little triangle off on the right foot.Collection: Girlfriend
Can we save the live demo for later, please? Bean Sidhe in angst, here.Collection: Sidhe
Unfortunately, what my head wanted and what my heart wanted were two completely different things.Collection: Heart
Even before the withdrawal sets in, you'll do anything to get that feeling back, because as long as it lasts, nothing's wrong. It doesn't matter if you forget something, or lose something. Or if you fail someone. Nothing's wrong and everything feels good, and you never want it to end.Collection: Long
Was I wearing my 'I'm done with my virginity, please get rid of it for me' T-shirt?Collection: Done
Hey." Her grin grew as she glanced from me to Nash, then back. "You're blocking the fridge." "There's a cooler in the other room." Nash nodded toward the main part of the house. Emma shrugged. "Yeah, but no one's making out in front of it.Collection: Block
Oh fine. I'll play nice with the pretty people.Collection: Nice
Because in most cases, I believe that people deserve a second chance. And because I couldn't have lived with myself if I'd stood by and let them both die souless, when I could have helped.Collection: Believe
It's kind of like when a clock battery runs down. The hour and minute hands don't disappear, but they don't keep ticking either. They freeze on the last minute they measured.Collection: Running
I want to kiss you.” Jace’s whisper pulled me from my thoughts and I glanced up to find his eyes blazing with raw need. “Just because Marc won’t touch you doesn’t mean I shouldn’t. Right? I don’t have that kind of self-control, and honestly, I don’t see the point in it. Are you supposed to be impressed by how long we can go without touching you? ’Cause if that’s the game we’re playing, I think I’d rather lose.Collection: Mean
So could we please not mob the three-thousand-plus-year-old reaper like tweens at a boy-band concert?Collection: Boys
But more than any of that, I was thankful for the possibility he'd shown me: that a man really could love a woman enough that he'd do anything to protect her. That's how much Tod loved Addy. That's how much I wanted Nash to love me.Collection: Men
Yeah. She wants him back and has decided I'm in her way. But I have news for that little sleep-terrorist--it's going to take more than a couple of bad dreams to scare me off, so I hope she has something bigger up her sleeve.Collection: Dream
I've seen this episode. This is the one where Sylvester eats Tweety.Collection: Episodes
Suggestions?" I asked [...] Marc never took his gaze from the cage. "Get the hose.Collection: Suggestions
What could thunderbirds want with us?" I wondered aloud [...] "We'll find out when Big Bird wakes up," Marc said. My father shook his head. "We'll find out now. Wake him up and make him sing.Collection: Father
You know, honey, Natalie's expecting her second." I arched my eyebrows at my mother, not following the change of subject. "Second what? Mortgage? Conviction? Chance at life?" "Baby of course. Her second baby. The doctor says this one's a girl." I laughed, genuinely amused that my mother thought it should have been so obvious. "Yeah. Well, I bet Natalie can't drop a Stray with a Powerhouse Right Hook.Collection: Girl
Walking around nude in front of humans was not a good way to keep a low profile with the community. It was an excellent way to make new friends, though.Collection: Community
Jace. This can't happen." I closed my eyes, thinking it would be easier to say without him looking back at me. But it wasn't. "This isn't about us. I can't leave Marc.Collection: Eye
If she were going to die, I'd already be screaming. I'm a female bean sidhe. That's what we do.Collection: Banshees
I laughed. It was just like Owen to make excuses for someone else’s shortcomings. Even fictional characters. Owen found my tendency to speak my mind “refreshingly honest,” and hailed Marc’s temper as “a deep protective instinct.” He said Ethan “thoroughly enjoyed life,” and that Parker “really knew how to have a good time.” According to Owen, we were all doing just fine, and all was right with the world.Collection: Character
I want you. I want only you. I want all of you. But I'll take whatever you're ready to give.Collection: Giving
Nash has been the sun lighting up the horizon of my life, outshining everything else in my world. I'd thought once that he was to good to be true. Turns out I was right.Collection: Horizon
Tod's eyes widened, and his irises swirled in tight twists of blue. "Well, I don't see that I have much of a choice, considering that's part of Reaper Law." "There's a Reaper Law?" "Of course. 'A reaper is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous...'" He shrugged. "It gets boring after that. But this situation is clearly covered under the 'helpful' category." I rolled my eyes. "I think that's the Boy Scout law." "They took it from us. But they left out all the good stuff.Collection: Eye
I got swirling eyes and the capacity to shatter windows with my bare voice. Tod got teleportation and invisibility. The supernatural world is so far from fair.Collection: Eye
Why do they call it losing your virginity, anyway? It's Not Like I don't know where I left it." "You'd be surprised how many people don't.Collection: People
Are you going to deliver whatever threat Avari sent you with, or are we going to have to start guessing?" Tod said. "I gotta warn you, I'm insanely good at charades.Collection: Guessing
So, you reap souls and crush hopes? Is that part of the job, or just a service you offer for free?Collection: Crush
She just got out of the hospital. Why don't you go gossip behind her back, like decent people?Collection: People
Uh, yeah, I do. The scythe was a little tricky at first, but—much like golf—turns out it’s all in the swing.Collection: Golf
He’s not like you, Tod. Aside from a couple of notable exceptions, you tend to think things through, but Nash is ruled by his heart—Collection: Couple
Eastlake High makes Buffy's hellmouth look like a crack in the sidewalk.Collection: Cracks
He was beyond gorgeous. But Eastlake High was full of pretty people who acted like total freaks. I blame the local water supply. Which was why I drank bottled water.Collection: People
Lit majors are not known for watching where they're going; most of us walk with our eyes in a book instead of on the path ahead.Collection: Book
She wasn't feeling nothing. She was feeling too much. She was blocking it all out. That was a survival skill, and her still-beating heart was proof that it worked.Collection: Block
Think of it as a second opinion on his value. If he wasn't worth the fight, wouldn't she just let him go? Wouldn't you?Collection: Fighting
I held her tighter, just because I could. Because she was fierce, and beautiful, and mind.Collection: Beautiful
He went down like a cheerleader after prom.Collection: Cheerleader
She watched me with a creepy sort of detached curiosity, as if I were a bug crawling across the sidewalk in front of her. I wondered briefly if she was the ant stomper type.Collection: Creepy
Congratulations. Your official super-nerd badge is in the mail.Collection: Congratulations
Great. I'm psychotic and sparkly.Collection: Psychotic
I couldn't see who swam in the darkness, who wore shadows like a second skin.Collection: Darkness
I’m confiscating your hair dryer—you’ve fried your brain.Collection: Hair
Come near me and I'll rip your wings off and beat you with them.Collection: Rip
I'd just stepped out of the kiddie pool and into the deep end, with no floaties. And drowning was not an option.Collection: Pool
Relief washed over me like that first air-conditioned breeze on a hot summer day.Collection: Summer
I don't hate it. It does no good to hate something you can't change.Collection: Hate
