Chapter 2: —And To Be Loved.

Part of Thorne wished he was back in the garden with his feet bare. That way he could curl his toes in the gravel and feel like he was secure in standing upright. But on the pristine marble floor of the palace, his toes had no room to move but in his clacking dress shoes.

Even in his socks they were cold, while the warm atmosphere and his own dread heated the rest of his body. The disparity was dizzying.

Cold feet. Ha.

Typically it was an analogy applied to weddings, but he seldom saw it in full action. Of course, it had been funny to see Jacin, the usual picture of self assurance, blanching on his wedding day only two months prior. Jacin would have never backed out, but he had required a few words of consolation from his groomsmen to return to his normal, brazen self. He then gave Thorne a look that indicated it was not to be brought up.Ever.

Thorne didn’t have that kind of cold feet though—neither the kind Kai had had, where his giddiness for marrying Cinder combined with his anxiety and painful reminders of his last wedding. All was remedied when he talked to Cinder through the doorway, Iko insisting they were not to meet in person.

If you have cold feet, put socks on! she’d shouted.

They snuck past her to meet up just before walking down the aisle anyway.

Maybe the difference was the outcome. For his two friends, they had known despite their nerves, they would end the day married to the love of their life. Thorne had no such certainty. He wasn’t even asking a similar question—just telling Cress all that had been weighing on him, with no way of foreseeing the end result.

Can we normalise calling the Lunar Chronicles a found family book series?

Cress: I remember Jacin was being a dick…

Cinder: Cress!

Cress: I don’t like to use that word, Cinder! But it’s so hard to describe Jacin any other way because he was just such a dick.

Thorne: Well, we did it, Cress. We made the worlds hottest baby.

Cress: Say cute, Thorne.

Thorne: You’re a freaking gold digger, Cress!

Cress: What?!

Thorne: That’s what you just said!

Cress: If I was a gold digger, why would I be attracted to YOU? I’d be the worst gold digger in the world!

Did someone say the Rampion Crew on summer vacation?

#Lunar10YearsLater — Wow does this series mean a lot to me! It’s a miracle when an author can get you to like every. single. character in a 9 character/POV story, and Marissa Meyer did it! I remember binging the last 3 books and Fairest over spring break in 2016, and coming back to class feeling super accomplished, especially since I read Winter (824 pages!!) in only 4 days! Well, now I can handle it in 3, maybe next time 2

The Rampion Crew holds a special place in my heart, and I’m super proud of how this group piece came out! Please swipe to see a Polaroid version of this photo, close-ups, and lineart because I’m just so happy with how they all came out. Like, that right there is the best Iko I’ve drawn, same with Kai, and overall I think a lot of these are major improvements over the first time I drew them ✨

Me furiously drawing the Rampion crew like there’s no tomorrow-

Anyway have a Cress

Cress: Oh my gosh! I’ve never been outside when it snows!

Thorne, shivering: Well, I have and you know, I’m not a fan.

Thorne: I mean, it’s cold, it’s a pain, it ruins your day

Thorne: It’s like Jacin but warmer

Cress: Why is Scarlet doing the laundry so loudly?

Cinder: So everyone knows that no one helps around the house

Scarlet:*slams laundry machine door*

Cress: Why aren’t you dating anyone, Captain?

Thorne: Eh, because I don’t want to. Why aren’t you?

Cress: …because you don’t want to

THORNE NO–
