♣ the characters

eric northman;
the viking
an old and powerful Nordic vampire, Eric's cold will
commands as much respect as his impressive stature. his expert
political scheming and general disdain for human life won't win Eric
any friends, but despite his cold manipulations, there's something
undeniably attractive about him.

sookie stackhouse never assumed dating a vampire would be a piece of cake,
but now twice-orphaned, the telepathic waitress has had her life turned
upside down by the supernatural. while her friends and family all struggle with
their own demons - sometimes literally - sookie does her best to navigate the
strange new world that has been introduced to her.

♣ the b o o k s

Sookie: By the way, I haven’t heard an ‘I’m sorry’ from you yet.
Eric: I am sorry that the maenad picked on you
Sookie: Not enough
Eric: Angelic Sookie, vision of love and beauty,
I am prostrate that the wicked maenad violated
your smooth and voluptuous body, in an attempt
to deliver a message to me.
Sookie: That’s more like it
⇔ Living Dead in Dallas

Eric: Besides, I’m hoping that
the more you see me, the more I’ll grow on you.
Sookie: Like a fungus?
⇔ Living Dead in Dallas

Eric: Sookie, my little bullet-sucker
Sookie: Eric, my big bull****ter
⇔ Living Dead in Dallas

Eric: When we kiss... t’s very exciting.
⇔ Club Dead

Eric: I don’t like having feelings.
⇔ Club Dead

Eric: Let go. No, not of me.
You can hold on to me as long as you want.
Let go of the pain, Sookie.
⇔ Club Dead

Sookie: This was a different Eric without
the personality that I’d grown fond of, in a perverse
way. but it was beautiful Eric, who desired me, who was
hungry for me, in a world that often let me know
it could do well without me.
⇔ Dead to the world

Sookie "Look at me, lover." The way he said lover
was like a caress, like he was calling me by a name
no other man had ever used before or ever would after.
⇔ Dead to the world

Eric: You took me in off the road and kept me safe.
You’re ready to fight for me. I can tell this about you.
I can’t believe my luck. When this witch is defeated,
I will bring you to my side. I will share everything I have with you.
Every vampire who owes me fealty will honor you.
Sookie: You’ve made me very happy
⇔ Dead to the world

Sookie: No matter how furious I got with Eric,
I was happier when I was with him.
⇔ From Dead and Gone

Sookie: I would think of Eric and feel the warm rush of joy,
and then think of Eric and want to punch him in the face.
⇔ From Dead and Gone

Sookie: I was so shaken I couldn’t have talked if my life had depended on it.
We lay in silence, exhausted. I didn’t mind his weight on me. I felt safe.
⇔ From Dead and Gone

I tried everything, but the other title with "VILF" was simply too long.

defyprobability · 04-12-2010, 08:45 PM

I like the title! TFTNT, Phoebe!

geefull · 04-12-2010, 09:43 PM

Thanks for the new thread

Ashes0909 · 04-12-2010, 09:57 PM

New thread. Feel like we flew through the last one!

brave princess · 04-12-2010, 10:33 PM

TFTNT, Phoebe!

Sad about Eric, the VILF, but it can be used for the Eric appreciation thread.

Ash, we did fly through the last thread. Imagine how fast we'll be flying through threads when the new book comes out and then the new season starts. I'm so frakking excited about both.

About the Eric/Queen confrontation in the last thread. I honestly would love for Eric to not take her crap like he did at her palace in the season finale. I know the hierarchy and everything but he could threaten her back with exposing her selling V if he wanted to. And I agree with you guys that she may slip up and clue Eric into the fact that something's up with Bill and why he's so important to her.

thanks for the new thread.

Thanks for the new thread, Phoebe

LOL! I pre-ordered mine via Amazon for only $12.00.

The cover is really pretty.

Although, the rose with thorns is worrying me just a little bit.

mylu · 04-13-2010, 01:39 PM

no sqeuu without sporil tags

I hope it's a good one anyway so i can read it later when i'm there.

When does it come out anyway? I know it's May and apparently I'm too lazy to go to amazon.com and look it up.

I'm super-excited about it too. I need to go to Barnes & Noble and reserve my copy since if I ordered it to be mailed to me I'd probably forget to check my mail that day.

Phoebe, I don't think the rose is a bad omen for ES or anything. I'm not sure if it's a metaphor for their relationship or if it's represents a moment that happens in the book.

defyprobability · 04-13-2010, 04:27 PM

Very excited to get that book in my hands, Chapters vetter be getting it on the day since I forgot to pre-order it

I do wonder the symbolism of the cover, but I'm not gonna grudge on it too much I think it's gonna be good for ES in this book. Hopefully some happy times.

Ash, you can read it once you're done with your finals. Sort of like a mini celebration for finishing finals.

Thanks for letting me know what day it comes out. I'm going to Florida that next weekend so I might have to wait to read it on the plane ride there and back.
