Okay, so I was reading A Clash of Kings today at the hairdressers where I lost about a foot of my hair:
And then I got to this part and, oh, my heart, my heart:
They are boys drunk on song and story, and like all boys, they think themselves immortal.
...
"Look at them. They're young and strong, full of life and laughter. And lust, aye, more lust than they know what to do with. There will be many a bastard bred this night, I promise you. Why pity?"
"Because it will not last," Catelyn answere, sadly. "Because they are the knights of summer, and winter is coming."
"Lady Catelyn, you are wrong," Brienne regarded her with eyes as blue as her armour. "Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it's always summer in the songs. In the songs, all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining."
I know it's Brienne, not Loras, but it just keys into him SO hard for me. At the moment, his LJ is aneyeforbeauty, but I'm pretty sre that I'm going to change it to songandstory. I'm also pretty sure that I'm going to end up writing fic set when Renly asks Loras to stay and help him pray.
...I'm ALSO pretty sure that if I had anybody but James T. Kirk on reserve, I'd be swapping him out for Loras Tyrell right about now.
ANYWAY.
