The Books:

  • In A Darkling Plain, the scenes where Fishcake and Anna find Sathya's hermitage in the mountains, and start acting like a family... Especially the scene where Anna carves a toy horse for Fishcake, and he acts like it's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Sniff.
  • Fever Crumb falling hard for Cluny Morvish in Scrivener's Moon. The usually unflappable Fever is adorably flustered by the suddenness and intensity of her feelings, at first trying to rationalise them away as her seeing Cluny through the eyes of the sliver of Godshawk still in her mind. But she soon realises that she first saw Cluny with her own eyes, and was attracted even as early as that. The moment where she truly comprehends the depths of her growing desire for Cluny is breath-catching.
    ... [As] Cluny turned away and walked on [Fever] suddenly understood why this feeling was called falling in love. It was as dizzying as dropping down a hole. We must find you a new boyfriend, Wavey had kept telling her, but what if a girlfriend was what Fever needed? She felt as if she had opened the door to a room she had never noticed in a house where she'd lived all her life.
