“If you loved me, you would have let me go by now.”

“It is because I love you that I won’t.”

I love these dialogues from Addies and Luc in the invisible life of addie larue. It totally represents two different perspectives on love.

Addie, like many people, thinks that love is purely selfless and good. (While she herself can have selfish actions or thoughts) Luc thinks that love is selfish, or at least can be. (Because to say that Luc is purely selfish would be quite hypocritical given all the events of the books and what he does there. Luc is much more complicated than that)

But I like that these two sentences summarize these two visions of love.

Love is selfless. Love is selfish. When in fact... it can be both, separately or together. Love can be something uniquely good and positive. Just as it can be negative. And sometimes it's both together. They are simply different forms of the same feeling.

All this to say that I hate when people try to say that love must be pure, good and selfless. It's bullshit. Whether in fiction or reality. The difference is that in fiction you can explore relationships with toxic connotations without risk, unlike real life or if there are red flags, you obviously have to just run to protect yourself.

Justice for romances like Luc & Addie, Jane Eyre & Rochester, Heathcliff & Catherine (Wuthering Heights), Coriolanus Snow & Lucy Gray Bird (The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), Christine & Erik (The Phantom of the Opera), Thomas & Edith (Crimson Peak), Hannibal & Will (Hannibal), Hannibal & Clarice (Hannibal), Raistlin & Crysania (Dragonlance), Sarah & Jareth (Labyrinth), Qu Xiao Feng & Li Cheng Yi (Goodbye My Princess), The Darkling & Alina (Grisha), Mare & Maven (Red Queen), Julian & Jenny (The Forbidden Game), and so so many others...

Not without kidding, there are so many examples in general, but also that I know and love that it is impossible to cite them all !

What? You're telling me my ship is toxic?

So are chili pappers, yet people consume it willingly, and it doesn't seem to bother anyone...

I don’t really have a lot, but here they are. :) I’m just so shy at tagging, so will just share these.

Ask Me Again (Completed — Oneshot) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/40053561 Fandom: Naruto Pairing: KakaSaku Summary: In which Kakashi asks Sakura a question one drunken night and Sakura tells him to ask her again.

good to you (Completed — Oneshot) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37410406 Fandom: Naruto Pairing: KakaSaku Summary: Sakura was never good at falling in love. Would she try her chances with Kakashi? Would he leave? Or would it be better for her to just leave it?

his light (Completed — Oneshot) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42678138 Fandom: Naruto Pairing: KakaSaku Summary: When one is surrounded by the dark, one tries to seek the light at any corner. Every corner if one feels lucky. Kakashi tries to avoid it at all costs—the light. He thinks he never deserves it, even if it’s just a little bit—a little bundle of it.

mistake (Completed — Oneshot) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/43093137 Fandom: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Pairing: AddieLuc Summary: A devil never pines. A devil never aches.

here i am (WIP — Multi-chaptered) Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46620070 Fandom: Naruto Pairing: KakaSaku Summary: For the past three years, there is only one person Sakura hasn’t been able to talk to. It would have been easy, to just move close to him when she sees him, chalk up the courage to say something witty that he’d easily respond to. Like before… And yet, he runs. He always does. When a stranger starts to show up in Konoha, his camera at the ready for landscapes and skies, and acting as if they’d already met before, Sakura tolerates him at best and is on guard at worst. But is it really this easy to get close to someone new?

One thing I particularly like about The Invisible Life of Addie Larue is that Luc is right ; Addie shaped him.

She gave it a shape and a name.

I'm convinced that Luc didn't have a name before Addie gave him Luc's, or perhaps a very old name unpronounceable to humans, who knows. Or simply a title to designate the creature he is. But personally, I don't think he had any. After all, his first response to Addie's question was why he should have a name, not the one that he shouldn't tell her. Especially since if names do indeed have power in this universe as Addie and Luc say, it should be noted that yes, in the rest of the story Addie has power over Luc. Just letting her name it gave her power. It is precisely after this point in the book that the relationship really evolves. I don't think it's a coincidence. Names have power, and Addie begins to have a real influence on Luc after giving him one. (Therefore reinforcing my interpretation that he actually didn't have a name before Addie)

Also, she gave her a shape.

He have been used to taking on an appearance based on the people he met, and or simply speaking while remaining among the shadows, but strangely after taking on an appearance for Addie, he sometimes kept it beyond of her. This can be seen the first time he meets Henry. He presumably maintains the appearance Addie gave him outside of when he sees her. Which for a being such as Luc, is not nothing. Without forgetting the quote according to which Luc is deprived of stars at night, and that Addie, through her freckles, is rightly associated with the stars. Addie therefore helps complete Luc.

Do you think Luc and Addie will end up happy one day ? What did you think of the book overall, as well as the ending ?

I'm not sure happy is an emotion either of them is capable of.

Perhaps content in a way, since they've evolved not into what they want, but what they need to be.

The book was beautiful in melancholic way, the ending best for everyone involved, since Henry- the only truly human among them- got his second chance at ordinary life. Addie kept her freedom and embraced her otherness and Luc got his desired companion, whether his feelings for her were merely admiration and captivation, or love.
