NOTE: I am ridiculous and started a list called “Things I Like in Books.” These are drawings of the things on that list. Truly AWFUL drawings. I am now going to share them with you one at a time. Mostly on Saturdays. Okay, here we go.
I like it when a dude has to teach a girl to fight…AND THEN THEY FALL IN LOVE.
Latest example: Gotta go with the all-time best example on this one…Dimitri Belikov and Rose Hathaway from Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy series.

I immediately thought of Ash and Megan from The Iron Fae books when you drew a sword.
But D and R from VA are equally awesome.

Bahaha. This makes me think of the anime Husband and I have been watching together. There are lots of unintentional innuendo so we run around saying things like “want to come back to my place and shine my Katana?” hehe.
