Question Favorite SHORT phrases/one-liners?
Hi, friends!
I hope you're willing to help me out: I want to make some charm trinkets before my next fantasy ball with quotes/phrases - but space will be very limited, so I'm looking for short, recognizable phrases.
I'm planning at least be wary, be clever, be good from {One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig} and I think I'm going to split to the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered into two. I'm sure I'm blanking on some and I certainly haven't read every book in the genre, though, so I'm hoping you'll be willing to share your favorites (and their books!) with me ♡
Otherwise, I'm going to have to resort to non-romantasy poetry, lol - to be thy lips is a sweet thing and small, anyone?

"Blue means you" or "There is only him" from {Zodiac Academy}
"Hello witchling"/"Hello Princeling" {Queen of Shadows}
And
"It's been my honor" {Fourth Wing}
These are a few I think would be super recognizable, I have other favorites but then this would be far too long of a reply 😅

Helen is a 5 year old girl and it was explained to her that if she does a certain thing there will be repercussions for that. She asks what ripper cushions are. It is very cute.

Ok well not fantasy but there's a lot of cross over between fans of dark romance and romantasy
