      Where should I leave my favorite quote/moment? Here?

      This is the one, from the interludes:
      “It still doesn’t change that I still want him, I still want to be with him, I sitll feel like the fucking air has been sucked out of the room when he walks in and I still think about him all the time”

      God, the first time I read it it gave me chills. Still does.

    This is my favorite quote. It’s from Interludes

    “It still doesn’t change that I still want him, I still want to be with him, I still feel like the fucking air has been sucked out of the room when he walks in and I still think about him all the time.”

    Wow! They’re all amazing. Well done, everybody.

    My favorite quote, from Interludes. There is much flailing, every single time!

    “So… why did it end?”
    Sin looked at Boyd sidelong before shrugging simply. “Because he wasn’t you”

    This was hard! Congrats to all the artist.
    My favorite quote will always be: “After all, a life without living was simply a death without dying. What more was there to fear or hate but life, endless life, with no respite.”

    Wonderful art. It was very hard to decide, especially between two I really liked.

    Here’s my quote:
    “So I’m just going to tell you how it is for me,” Boyd continued frankly. His gaze was intense and sincere as he didn’t look away from Sin’s eyes. “I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone. I think about you all the time. It’s been hell trying to keep myself away – every time you’re close I want to touch you. I would do anything for you. And if I could have anything in the world right now, I would be in a relationship with you.”

    And my email:

    They’re all lovely. It’s so hard to pick..

    Te quote:
    “He’s a man, too,” Boyd said calmly but firmly. “Yes, he’s unusually good at his job, which can include killing people. It’s not a trait people would normally work for but it’s just what’s happened with him, and part of that is due to circumstances. Even so, no matter how efficiently he can kill that doesn’t mean he’s not human. He doesn’t just helter skelter hurt people for no reason; he’s a good person, once you get to know him.”

    It’s too hard to pick a favorite quote, so I’ll pick the moment that I was convinced that I was going to keep reading.

    “Do you have any questions?” Vivienne asked after a moment but once again Boyd didn’t respond. She quirked an eyebrow. “You do not wish to even know the name of the agent?”

    Boyd shook his head faintly; just enough that his hair shifted against his shoulders. “That information is useless unless I’m hired.”

    Fuck. To choose only one piece was nearly impossble. Great work everyone!!!

    And to choose a bloody fav quote too. You guys are killing me. LOL
    Ok, I picked one from the start because my favourite one from The Interludes is already posted. It’s from Evenfall:

    “Are you hungry?”
    “No. After six months on a liquid diet, I’m watching my figure.”

    Not the main char but still my fav quote: Doug seemed relatively unsurprised by Emilio and his behavior. “You’re supposed to listen to what I say these days, y’know.”
    “Ha!” Emilio pointed at Doug and threw his head back with a loud laugh before straightening. “Never. I’m probably the one who should be doing the training, anyways.”
    This time some indignation made its way into Doug’s expression and he demanded, “And what the fuck’s that supposed to mean, huh?”
    “Well.” Emilio smirked, green eyes narrowed slightly as he gave Doug a haughty stare. “I mean not for nothin’ but— I trained the best killer this place has to offer. Your people can’t even face off against him in ten to one odds.”
    Doug opened his mouth to reply, scowled, hesitated, and glared at Emilio. “Well I trained Kassian and he’s the best agent we’ve got.”
    “Oh ho ho, you trained Kassian! Big fucking deal, bro. My boy could probably whip his ass with both arms tied behind his back,” Emilio retorted stubbornly even though he likely didn’t even know Kassian or anything about him.
    Doug exhaled loudly as his ice blue eyes rolled. “Well, that’s amazing for you but that don’t change the fact that you’re retraining and I’m—”
    “You’re what?” Emilio demanded, cutting him off and leaning forward. “What? Training me? Don’t make me die fucking laughing. What are you gonna train me about? What?”
    “Yo—”
    “I’m serious! Tell me!” Emilio demanded, pointing his finger directly in Doug’s face now as he repeated the question. “What’re you gonna teach me?”
    “Em—”
    “How to not comb my hair for days? How to smoke cigars and fuck up my pearly whites?”
    Doug stared at Emilio blandly, unimpressed by the display. “Just—”
    “How to hop like a kangaroo under the hot Australian sun while trying not to get sand in my shoes?” Emilio raised both eyebrows this time. “Well?”
    Boyd half expected Doug to get angry but instead Doug’s mouth twitched slightly as though he were trying not to laugh, although the exasperated expression stayed firmly in tact.
    Emilio grinned at Doug, appearing pleased that the man had given up. “Yeah, baby. That’s what I thought. Feel the burn of my superior knowledge about everything in the entire world.

    That was a hard choice. It is also a hard choice to pick just one fave quote. I’ll stick to one from Evenfall since I don’t know what would be considered spoiler or not.

    Fave Evenfall quote:
    “My solution to this problem is gutting them all, and I’ve already tried the murder-to-avenge Boyd’s honor thing, and it didn’t pan out.”

    It was a snap for me to choose. The moment I saw the picture I knew that was it. For me, at least. I can’t give you a quote yet, I haven’t started reading the series. Once I’m done with judging for a certain awards and done with NaNoWriMo I’ll have time to start reading for fun once again. I hope that doesn’t bother anyone.

    Great entries! Some of them very striking visually and some have so much meaning hidden in the nuances I was left speechless for a second there. Great stuff.
    I don’t have a favourite quote, unless you count the whole series as one. 🙂 However one of my favourite lines in book one was cut out in the new version (outrageous! How could you?!) so here it is for those who read ICoS in the full-fat version:
    “You’re a rude individual.”
    Remember that?? It made me laugh for days! It still does, so I just pretend it’s still cannon.

    So glad that a lot people joined the contest. <3 There are so many quotes worth sharing but this one from Afterimage melts my heart every time I read it.

    "He loved him enough to want to die for hurting him, loved him enough to kill himself slowly for fear of losing him, loved him enough to suffer silently if he thought it was in Boyd's interest. Sin loved Boyd enough to make difficult decisions easily, as if there were no contest; he went toward Boyd as if he hadn't even considered any other choices."

    “You’re so fucking inappropriate. Even with technology.”
    “What can I say?” Emilio jerked the wheel and did an illegal U-turn in the middle of the street. Horns honked and someone yelled angrily out their window. “I’m a motherfucking lothario of humans and robots alike.”
    “Just shut the hell up and get us there.”

    Awesome art!
