trans women, i love you.
you were a woman yesterday. you're a woman today. you're a woman tomorrow. you're a woman forever.
trans women have existed long before those stuffy bigots sitting in a court room have. trans women will continue to exist long after they're dead and rotting in the earth.
I present to you...The Court of Shadows

Garrett - The Ghost

Van - The Roach
"You came out of the sea even tougher than you went in"
Liliver - The Bomb

Yes! Romione and Dramione, mostly because of the bickering. This is why Harmione gives me the ick.
If your reason for not shipping Ron and Hermione is because of all their bickering... you have a child's grasp of their characters.
Ron has five brothers and a little sister. You have to be quick witted to keep up with the amount of friendly fire going on inside that house. The loudest gets heard. He's always ready for a fight.
Hermione secretly judges people by their ability to keep up with her intellectually. Condescension is a reflex. It pushes people away before they can actually match her (because god forbid she lose).
Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Ron can't stop once he gets started and Hermione is too stubborn to admit she's wrong. And, the thing is, they both clearly love it.
Hermione wouldn't want a "yes" man and Ron wouldn't want someone who can't handle teasing. He challenges her intellect, and she gets an intellectual challenge. It's a win win.
It's complete and it is GLORIOUS. I have read it twice - once while in progress and once as a full read. And oh my goodness. It's just. Agh. I love it.
Lovefool is now complete and I couldn't be more excited!

I am a strong, independent woman who can fight my own battles. But is there anything hotter than this trope? I'll wait.
decided that my favorite book trope is when the female love interest is in mortal peril and the male main character goes absolutely fucking feral to protect her
I realize a lot of people are talking about wanting to slap Cardan, but I wanted to slap Jude. She knows the fae speak in riddles. She knows Cardan is clever in that stupid boy way. The fact that she didn't immediately turn around and say, "Bitch, I am the Crown," baffles me. Like, she's smart. Why did she not get this?!
