man all the ya novels about humans falling love with angels these days are so plain. i’m tired of stories where the only difference between the angel and the human is that the angel has a pair of wings and some cheesy hallmark-gold halo. i want angel/human romances with wild, godly monstrous angels.

• give me a human who’s normally quiet and soft and terrified of everything but falls for this massively tall, half light half shadow amalgam with six wings, four arms, no eyes, and a mouth full of fangs.
• give me a human who wonders at a halo as wide as they are tall, who reaches to touch it in admiration only to come back with bloody hands because the whole thing’s made of shining white-hot thorns.
• give me scenes where the angel forces themselves to inhabit a human’s tiny weak body only so that they can hold their partner without disintegrating them.
• give me angel/human romances where they can’t have conversations because every time the angel opens its mouth all the windows and mirrors shatter, or the human doesn’t speak because being near the angel fills them up with so much holy light they can barely breathe, let alone talk.
• give me angels who return to their human partners at night covered in blood and dust and unashamed of that. give me humans who will splint the broken wings and kiss the blood off ragged, hungry mouths.
• GIVE ME WILD, MESSY, TERRIFYING ANGEL/HUMAN ROMANCES
