“There Is Nothing On Earth More Beautiful To Me Than Your Smile . . . No Sound Sweeter Than Your Laughter

THE FORESHADOWING!!!

Pierre Curie died young, she outlived him by several decades.

My heart 💔

Christopher and Grace did end up collaborating like the Curies and revolutionizing communication for shadowhunters

I'm a bit disappointed that Thomas's tattoo did not make an appearance in Chot...

TDA - TLH parallels:

Mark glared. "She [Cristina] is nothing like me."

"You don't have to be like someone to love them," said Emma.

- Lord of Shadows

"I am nothing like you, Thomas," said Alastair.

- Chain of Iron

Know what I want from Chain of Thorns?

After they’ve gotten Lucie back, her working on The Beautiful Cordelia some more and deciding to write in a love interest for Thomas since we already know she writes her friends in a lot and thinks everything needs x1000 romance

Give me Lucie asking him about girls they know and what he thinks of them and don’t you think she has the nicest hair and don’t you think she’s funny trying to fish for who she should use for inspiration and try to figure out what kind of characteristics Thomas likes in a girl

Give me Thomas answering those questions at first while he’s kind of confused but doesn’t yet realize what’s happening and then when she gets to about question three being like Lucie what are you doing and her explaining to him how Lord Thomas needs a love interest and she needs inspiration to help write a perfect girl for him and how it’s hard because he’s never really seemed all that interested in any girls in particular

Give me Thomas hesitating and considering what to do and lowkey thinking that it’s stupid to tell Lucie about his sexuality just to have an imaginary boyfriend instead of an imaginary girlfriend in her made up story but also not wanting to lie and make up a girl type or tell her the truth about his type and have her interpret it as that’s what he likes in girls and make some girl version of Alastair that’s all wrong and not wanting Lucie to start pointing out real girls to him that she thinks he would like

And part of him really does want his character to have a guy as a love interest if he has to have a love interest at all and he does want to tell Lucie even though it makes him nervous (but he already knows she has no problem with Anna and Matthew’s sexualities and writing them into the stories so that helps a bit)

Give me Thomas telling her that that’s because he hasn’t been interested in any girls and Lucie being like oh okay well then do you like boys? What kinds of boys do you like? Oh, maybe Lord Thomas will meet a prince! and Thomas being relieved that she’s acting the same as she was before she knew but also still overwhelmed and embarrassed by the volume of enthusiastic questions about his type and whether he would find this kind of character or that kind of character more interesting romantically

Also give me Lucie asking if he wants the Lord Thomas stories being private stories just for them with him just having a very mysterious love interest no one knows anything about in the main story she shares with everyone else and letting him decide if and when he’s fine with her sharing the stories that focus on his love interest while still including him in the stories and still giving him his own (somewhat) more accurate love interest

Gallya + car races

Headcanon that Gaby and Illya sometimes engage in car races against each other in between missions, just for fun and the kicks. They’re pretty evenly matched in their skills, which keeps the races interesting. Napoleon usually prefers to watch from the sidelines.

Annika

BTW, I am looking at your suggestions for Henri’s sister’s name. After deadline (Friday), I’m going to look at all your ideas, maybe pick a few personal faves, and then we could vote or something. Okay. back to work!

Yessss MY NAME IN A BOOK😱😱😍😍😍 I'M SO GONNA LOVE HER😍😍😍

Here are the responses I got for the name of Henri’s little sister! So all of the submissions are at the very top, and I made a word cloud. The bigger names are the ones that was submitted the most times. If the choice was made solely on how many people wanted it, then Annika Jaakoppi would win :)

P.S. I now understand why @partylikeawordstar was overwhelmed. 

Do you think CC will rewrite the CP2 epilogue after TLH finishes given that some things after Chog already don't match up? Like Barbara being present

She might change some things for when they order a new reprint. Different editions already have different people appearing in the epilogue. My best friend’s version doesn’t have Lucie in it but mine does, for example...

so. um. the good news is we found your boyfriend. the bad news is that, well, we sort of…dug him up…in the middle of a car park. in leicester (buckley et al. 2013). leicester, yeah. sorry. they demolished the friary he was hastily interred in when henry viii dissolved all the monasteries. you know how it is. and as it turns out, well, shakespeare was…sort of right about him. scoliosis, yeah, sorry (appleby et al. 2014). if it makes you feel any better we analysed his bones and it turns out he had a pretty high-protein diet before he died (lamb et al. 2014). and he drank so much wine that it changed their chemical composition, which we didn't know could actually happen before we analysed him (lamb et al. 2014), so he was having a good time, at least.
