“The hardiest plant in the world is the purple saxifrage. It has delicate-looking flowers, with purple petals that seem as though they might blow away in the wind, yet it thrives in the Arctic.

“Under the purple sky,
fulgent stars,
in subdued moonlight,
surrounded by blinding darkness,
on dewed grass,
bare feet,

I'll kiss you, to the testimony of
stars and skies.
I'll kiss you as such that love will erect
from the soil,
and coil around us,
and our clays would become one.”

Naw, she say. Not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.

“What does it feel like when you do that?" Sebastian asks, watching me curiously.
"You can see for yourself if you want." I take his hand as casually as I can manage and place it over mine. Together, we reach for one of the hedge walls. I hear his breathing grow heavier; I feel my own breath stop as our fingers interlace against the evergreen. And then the electric sensation sizzles through my fingertips, through my whole body, stronger than I've ever felt it. I hear Sebastian whoop in amazement, and I whirl around. The hedge walls have transformed from green to a vibrant violet. It is the most beautiful color I've ever seen.
Sebastian and I turn to face each other at the same time, and nearly collide in our swift movement. His hand reaches for my hip to steady me. Heat fills my cheeks. His touch awakens something in me, something even stronger than my Elemental power. I glance up at him and find his eyes locked on mine. We inch closer, and it feels like anything can happen”
Alexandra Monir, Suspicion

Holly Black, The Wicked King

Sitting by a cozy fireplace,

“Instead of diving into the shadows of the forest, he was a tawny lightning bolt striking the edge of a clearing that would eventually be filled with bright purple blossoms. Violets first, then lupines that would make little crowns across the sweet-smelling milkweed, the summer ending with mounds of aster.”
Elizabeth Lim, A Twisted Tale Anthology

“You’re telling me a purple pecker is always a purple pecker? It doesn’t have other names?” Dane asks.
