"Then, what is it?" Serena asked, cleaning the gashes. Cole clenched his jaw and relaxed it. "It's because of Jamie, isn't it?"

Cole sat in silence, only gripping the comforter slightly as Serena cleaned the gashes. He stared at the faint bruises that were forming on his knuckles.

"I don't want her to worry," he whispered.

I don't know why, but I honestly enjoy this part of my prologue from Heart of Midnight.

He had lost track of how much time had passed when the uproar began. It started as annoyed grumbles as the crowd suddenly shifted, lowering to stricken whispers before the single phrase was repeated by so many lips at once that it echoed like a cry from the kingdom itself.

"The king is dead."

There are a lot of scenes I like, but they would spoil a lot of the good stuff, so I'd put the beginning of the first chapter as it is kind of metaphorical, and had a song in mind to flow with it (not the complete song, but most of the intro and parts of the ending, the hints are there though)

There are a few scenes in my comic that I'm proud of that we haven't gotten to on Tapas yet, but this scene is my favorite so far:

Ooh! Favorite scenes/quote sharing is so fun! And there's so many good ones up already too.

If sulking had a record, I beat it. All morning, Des kept asking me about how the date with Colin went, but every time I went to tell her, I felt the need to bang my head violently against the wall. Our good night was just so... unbearably humiliating!

How could I have mistaken the signal!? HOW!?

"Petite," Des started. "It is ok if it did not go well. At least, you had your chance, yeah?"

"But you don't understand..." I whined. "It was perfect! Amazing, in fact, but then..."

"But then...?" she gave me an enquiring look.

"I leaned in..."

"Uh, huh?" she smirked.

"...and he leaned back..."

Where the hell am I?

Before I could fully get a sense of my surroundings, I felt something graze my leg. I jumped up, immediately wincing as I felt all my injuries strike me at once. But when I glanced down to see what touched me, I realized it was the hand of a woman.

I could feel my brows pull together as I stared at her. Who the hell are you? I watcher he for a moment before it hit me that she wasn't moving. Oh shit... did I kill her? I was just about to check for a pulse on her neck when she groaned and made herself more comfortable on the side of the bed.

Nope. Not dead.

I have this running gag about many characters at some point saying "they won't be mad if they don't know about it, and they won't!"

I haven't done it in a long time, but I wanna get back to doing it once more in newer chapters

I was just refreshing my memory of an older novella. I found this distinctive threat in the dialog. It was spoken by a from a barbarian, right out of the first episode.

Summary

He said, "We won't pass up the opportunity. If this turns out to be a trap, however, I will skin your hide and wear it as a pair of pants with your face over my crotch."
