Simon Baz Quotes

Enough, Snow, I'm not the Queen. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Is it too much?"
"No. It's like you completed the circuit," I say, gripping his other hand. "I feel kind of drunk, though."
"Drunk on power?" he asks.
I giggle. "Shit, Snow. Stop talking. This is embarrassing. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Carry on, Simon. ~ Rainbow Rowell

I tought I looked cool behind the wheel, I wasn't prepared for Baz. I wouldn't be able to look away from him, if there wasn't so much else to take in. ~ Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

And her mother says I'm handsome. That's really all her mum ever says to me. "Don't you look handsome, Simon."
What would she say to Baz? "Don't you look handsome, Basil. Please don't slaughter my family with your hideous fangs. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Simon Snow is still going to die kissing me.
Just not today. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Tall. Black hair swept back from his forehead. Lips curled up in a sneer... I know that face as well as my own. ~ Rainbow Rowell

I'm like him," she'd whispered.

"You're not," Wren said.

"I am. I'm crazy like him." She was already having panic attacks. She was already hiding at parties. In seventh grade, she'd been late to class for the first two weeks because she couldn't stand being in the halls with everyone else during passing periods. "It's probably going to get worse in a few years. That's when it usually kicks in."

"You're not," Wren said.

"But what if I am?"

"Decide not to be."

"That's not how it works," Cath argued.

"Nobody knows how it works."

"What if I don't even see it coming."

"I'll see it coming."

Cath tried to stop crying, but she'd been crying so long, the crying had taken over, making her bvreathe in harsh sniffs and jerks.

"If it takes you," Wren said. "I won't let go."

A few months later, Cath gave that line to Simon in a scene about Baz's bloodlust. Wren was still writing with Cath back then, and when she got to the line, she snorted.

"I'm here for you if you go manic," Wren said. "But you're on your own if you become a vampire."

"What good are you anyway," Cath said. Their dad was home by then. And better. And Cath didn't feel, for the moment, like her DNA was a trap ready to snap closed on her.

"Apparently, I'm good for something," Wren said. "You keep stealing all my best lines. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Go on, then," he says. "Carry on, Simon. ~ Rainbow Rowell

He's still looking in my eyes. Staring me down like he did that dragon, chin tilted and locked. "I'm not the Chosen One," he says.
I meet his gaze and sneer. My arm is a steel band around his waist. "I choose you," I say. "Simon Snow, I choose you. ~ Rainbow Rowell

It felt good to be writing in her own room, in her own bed. To get lost in the World of Mages and stay lost. To not hear any voices in her head but Simon's and Baz's. Not even her own. This was why Cath wrote fic. For these hours when their world supplanted the real world. ~ Rainbow Rowell

The way you were before… Simon Snow, there wasn't a day when I believed we'd both live through it."
"Though what?"
"Life. You were the sun, and I was crashing into you. I'd wake up every morning and think, 'This will end in flames. ~ Rainbow Rowell

You knew all along?"
"Not all along," Penelope said. "But a long. At least since fifth year, when you insisted we follow Baz around the castle every other day. You made me go to all of his football games."
"To make sure he wasn't cheating," Simon said, out of habit.
"Right," Penelope said. "I was starting to wonder whether you'd ever figure it out. You have figured it out, haven't you?"
Simon felt himself smiling and blushing, not for the first time this week. Not for the fiftieth. "Yeah ... ~ Rainbow Rowell

But he's the most familiar thing in this house, and I fall asleep better, listening to Baz breathe, than I have since winter break started. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Baz arched an elegant brow. Are you going to snog the Humdrum-is that your plan? Because he's eleven. And he looks just like you. That's both vain and deviant, Snow, even for you. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Snow's table manners are atrocious - it's like watching a wild dog eat. A wild dog you'd like to slip the tongue. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Baz. "Have you ever done this before?" Simon. "Yes. No." "Yes or no?" "Yes. Not like this." Baz. "Not with a boy?" Simon. "Not when I really wanted it. ~ Rainbow Rowell

I was eleven years old, and I'd lost my mother, and my soul, and the Crucible gave me you. ~ Rainbow Rowell

He really does look perfect. Whatever strange look he's going for - Gothic pop star - it works for him. ~ Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

We're cool and mysterious and better-looking than any couple has a right to be. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Simon catches up with me and traps me against the car. He's kissing me before I see it coming, bending me back over the boot. "You were amazing," he says, taking a breath. "You didn't even need a wand. ~ Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

As far as Reagan was concerned, Cath was already problematically weird. "It's bad enough that you have homemade Simon Snow posters," Reagan had said last night while she was getting ready for bed. "Do you have to have gay homemade Simon Snow posters?"
Cath had looked up at the drawing over her desk of Simon and Baz holding hands. "Leave them alone," she said. "They're in love. ~ Rainbow Rowell

He swallows. Snow has the longest neck and the showiest swallow I've ever seen. His chin juts out and his Adam's apple catches - it's a whole scene. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Baz is standing in front of a full-length mirror, wearing - I swear to Merlin - a flowered suit. ~ Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

Cath wanted to go back and rewrite every scene she'd ever written about Baz or Simon's chests. She'd written them flat and sharp and hard. Levi was all soft motion and breath, curves and warm hollows. Levi's chest was a living thing. ~ Rainbow Rowell

What's that thing you wrote about Simon once, that his eyes followed Baz 'like he was the brightest thing in the room, like he cast everything else into shadow'? That's you. You can't look away from him. ~ Rainbow Rowell

I don't think you're supposed to raise it while you're driving," I say.
"But they always do it in music videos" - he yanks at the other side - "and Bond films. ~ Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

Simon," I say, and swallow again, "you're being idiotic."
"Because I like this better than fighting?"
"There is no 'this'!" I protest.
"You slept in my arms," he says.
"Fitfully. ~ Rainbow Rowell

I'm not sure it's that simple...."
That Baz is a vampire?"
"No, he's definitely a vampire," I say. "I guess it is that simple. But you can't tell anyone, Agatha."
"Simon, you've already told everyone. You've been telling everyone since we were third years."
"Yeah, but nobody believed me."
"I believed you. ~ Rainbow Rowell

The whole prophecy is bollocks," I say. "'And one will come to end us. And one will bring his fall.' Did I also bring my own fall?"
"No," Baz says. "That was me. Obviously."
"How did you bring my fall? I stopped the Humdrum myself."
Baz looks back at his phone, bored. "Fell in love, didn't you? ~ Rainbow Rowell

Simon Snow, it hurts to look at you when you're this happy.
And it hurts to look at you when you're
depressed.
There's no safe time for me to see you, nothing about you that doesn't tear my heart from my chest and leave it breakable outside my body. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Baz is touching me, and it's good. (Touching Baz is always good; it'd be easier if I could just touch him all the time. And kiss him. And not have to be kissed.) ~ Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

What do you want from me, Snow?"
"Nothing," he says. And he means it, the actual bastard. ~ Rainbow Rowell

Simon takes my elbow. "Ride with me," he says, looking at the place where his hand is touching my arm. "There are stars. ~ Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

It's Baz they're checking out, not me. He's got to be scared, or at least nervous, but he doesn't look it. I swear he gets less ruffled the more that he's threatened. (When I'm the one threatening him, that's infuriating. But it's kind of cool now.) ~ Rainbow Rowell

Simon's beautiful in battle: He never stops. You never see him plan his next move. He doesn't plan, he just moves. ~ Wayward Son, Rainbow Rowell

Shhh."
"I just-"
"Hush."
"I worry-"
"Don't."
"But-"
"Simon."
"Baz?"
"Here. ~ Rainbow Rowell
