Monday: Book Quotes

[tigriswolf]

Hello, y'all. I’m tigriswolf and today's theme is book quotes. Prompts can be quotes about books or quotes from books. Please provide the book/author if you know it!

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ author's choice, author's choice, When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say. [George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings]
+ Hannibal (tv), Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter, Love isn’t soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close. [Stephen King, The Body 1982]
+ author's choice, author's choice, Language gives you a glimpse of how people survive. [Paulo Freire, Literacy: Reading the Word and the World]
+ DCU, Jason Todd, You were brave. You were strong. You were good. You mattered. [KA Applegate, Animorphs]

FILL: slight nsfw

His head bows as the wispy steam rise all around him. The shower seems louder than normal, the water drops echoing loudly as they hit the tiles and mix with the blood slowly dripping from his lips. His hands, he can still feel the cold steel in his grip from the blade the shoved into he man who dies with a wailing cry. The shower sounds louder than his own heart beating like a drum in his ears. But Will feels good. After a kill, he sighed in pleasure as the warm water clenches his body of blood and sweat. Hannibal joins him, pressing up close behind Will, his mouth closed around his neck where his teeth marks still linger on his skin. He doesn’t bite this time, but his lips lay in place of the sharp fangs as Hannibal’s arms wrap around Will’s body. Love isn’t soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close. He will never be normal, his brain makes him that way. How he can see through the eyes of a killer, how he can walk in their footsteps. Love had made him a beast, like Hannibal. Craving human flesh and communicating more with growls and grumbles then words alone. Teeth bites into him when Hannibal slides into him, and Will spreads his legs a little wider, growling through the pain and pleasure, and bracing himself with his palms on the tiles wall. Sharp teeth bring pleasure as much as pain, his shoulder aching, throbbing, but that was life. It wasn’t beautiful and sweet with a fairytale ending. It was the taste of blood in his mouth and the beast at his back.
