crowley: i'm fine, halt, it's just a scratch.

halt, dragging him with one arm over his shoulder: yeah? you've got a concussion and three broken ribs.

crowley: really? i don't seem to remember hitting my head.

halt: that would be the concussion.

Me trying to write this sentence:

"Seeing the soldier’s clumsy sword work, Crowley realized that the Hibernian could have simply moved in and driven his saxe into the man’s body as he deflected the blade."

Google: no, not saxe, it has to be a saxophone

Kaider Wedding Portrait version two~ (version one)

"i don't comment on ao3 because i don't wanna be annoying or weird" skill issue + you greatly underestimate the power dynamic here, writing multi paragraph comments is like feeding a bunch of deeply insane and possibly starved ducks at the park and watch them go completely mad over having received a piece of bread

gilan: hey, halt, did you get a chance to consider my plan?

halt, reading a letter: uh-huh.

gilan: what do you think?

halt: mhm.

gilan: halt?

halt: anytime.

gilan: mm. i’m gonna go compromise the integrity of the corps by selling crown secrets to skandia and then blame it on will now, yeah?

will: hey.

halt: oh, go on then.

gilan, cracking up: can i assassinate the king while i'm at it?

In Halt’s Peril, we learn that Will has never ridden Abelard before. Will thinks to himself that Abelard probably wouldn’t throw him off even without the passcode due to them being so used to each other…

In the lunar chronicles universe there are hour long compilations of every time Cinder or Kai has ever accidentally called the other by their informal name during an official government meeting or press conference

Like ✨Kaider being bad at hiding their relationship for 10 minutes straight✨

And then it’s just clips of Cinder going “Kai— Kai— Emperor Kai— Kai….to—“ Kai calling her Cinder instead of Selene over and over again.

"I want to be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren."

Search Parties Continue To Sweep Ocean For Halt’s Mysterious Friend, Albert

The search continues throughout the seven seas for the elusive “Albert,” who the famous Ranger Halt of Araluen has been seen earnestly searching for from the decks of the Skandian ship Wolfwill on many a voyage. Many a Skandian wolfship has promised to keep a sharp lookout for the Ranger’s friend, amid puzzling bouts of laughter. Presumably, this unfortunate was swept overboard, and though it’s almost certain that he has drowned, Halt’s extended search would indicate that the Ranger has reason to believe he is still alive.

We spoke to Gundar Hardstriker, skirl of Wolfwill, who was seen to clutch his helmet tightly and look about to ensure the Ranger wasn’t on deck before responding. Here’s what he had to say about the search:

“We’ll keep looking, all right, and none harder than our Ranger friend. He spends hours huddled at the bow of the deck, calling Albert’s name over and over…. at least, that’s what I think he’s saying.”

We also spoke to Will, Halt’s former apprentice, who glared at our reporter. “Things are really going to go south if Halt gets wind of this,” he muttered darkly. When pressed as to his meaning, he glanced back apprehensively towards Halt’s cabin and refused to answer further questions.

Halt will not come out of his cabin and thus could not be reached for comment. According to Courier Alyss, he is suffering from a mysterious Gallican illness known as mal-de-mer. We don’t know what this means, but it certainly sounds scary, and we can only hope for his speedy recovery and reunion with his missing friend.
