Her feelings were very acute, and too little understood to be properly attended to. Nobody meant to be unkind, but nobody put themselves out of their way to secure her comfort.

Jane Austen Quote
Evie! Thanks for this awesome @galladrabbles prompt.
Previously, on No Sleep 'Til Nashville, Mickey stripped and challenged Ian to do the same.
-----
In this game of chicken, Mickey was winning.
Ian gulped. It was only fair, right? Mickey needed to see his body for their boyfriend charade to work.
Ian peeled off his jeans. His t-shirt, going slow and begging all his parts to stay chill.
Mickey never broke eye contact.
Ian slid his boxers down, breathless.
“Patriot tattoo. Boobs tattoo.” Mickey nodded. “Carpet matches the drapes. Uh-huh.”
How could Mickey stay so calm when he was tearing Ian’s nerves to pieces?
Mickey stepped within touching distance. “Only one more question, hot shot.”
“What’s that?”
“How good of an actor are you?”

That Neil Gaiman said either Aziraphale or Crowley's (unclear from his answer which) favorite Jane Austen novel is Persuasion lives rent-free in my head, because it has this GOAT second chance romance love confession:
“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it."
--Jane Austen, Persuasion, 1817

Guess who's back? Back again 😁 Can't really believe it's my turn again! It's been a little over a year and I'm not sure when time flew but at the same time, it feels like it's been 84 years 😅
Anyway, I'm here with prompt #112 (!!) and I'm going with a quote this time. A Jane Austen one, no less (if you know, you know 🤪):
"Have a little compassion on my nerves. You tear them to pieces."
Can't wait to see what you do with it! And on this note, thank you all for keeping Galladrabbles alive 🤗❤️ And a special thank you to my Baba - love you to pieces 🥰
Happy drabbling!
Evie

someone talk to me the way henry talks about fanny <33
"'...with such unpretending gentleness, so much as if it were a matter of course that she was not to have a moment at her own command, her hair arranged as neatly as it always is, and one little curl falling forward as she wrote, which she now and then shook back, and in the midst of all this, still speaking at intervals to /me/, or listening, and as if she liked to listen, to what I said. Had you seen her so, Mary, you would not have implied the possibility of her power over my heart ever ceasing.'"
i literally ceased to exist
"'I could so wholly and absolutely confide in her,' said he;' and /that/ is what I want.'"

“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”

"Há uma teimosia em mim que nunca suporta ficar assustada com a vontade dos outros. Minha coragem sempre aumenta a cada tentativa de me intimidar."

Happy birthday to Jane Austen!
Toast deeply in her name tonight, and if you’re hungover just know she could relate.
[image reads: I believe I drank too much wine last night at Hurstbourne.]

We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

If the UK government can abuse Austen’s quotes on money (Caroline Bingley does not actually love reading...) then I can adapt one for Pride Month. It’s only fair.

ALACRITY (noun) - brisk and cheerful readiness.
With an alacrity beyond the common impulse of a spirit which yet was never indifferent to the credit of doing every thing well and attentively, with the real good-will of a mind delighted with its own ideas, did she then do all the honours of the meal, and help and recommend the minced chicken and scalloped oysters, with an urgency which she knew would be acceptable to the early hours and civil scruples of their guests.
- Emma by Jane Austen, Vol. I, Ch. 03.
