Sometimes (actually quite often) Kai is wonderfully impractical but still super sweet!
Irene: When you said you did magic in bed, this isn’t what I expe-
Kai: [holding up the ace of spades] Is this your card?
Irene: Holy shit…
Jesús Christ, these are insane. That ice skating one is straight out of a Victorian novel, only in that version you’d die tragically. The canal one is funny as. Irene and Kai’s ones are ridiculously relatable. I once walked straight into a metal sign because I was reading and I had a red imprint of it for the rest of the day.
Invisible Library characters as stupid things that I've done
Irene: missed her stop on the train because she was reading not once, not twice but four times on three seperate occasions
Kai: fallen down the stairs of a bookshop because he couldn't see over the top of the pile of books in his hands
Vale: set fire to a science experiment because he was bored
Silver: fallen over laughing and been too drunk to stand up again.
Everiste: missed a train so he burst into tears
Li Ming: went ice skating, fell through the frozen lake and got pnemonia
Ao Shun: got stuck three miles from home in the middle of a thunder storm because he thought he could run faster than a storm
Ao Guang: fallen into the canal because he didn't want to cycle through a patch of mud.

You always have a choice, don’t pretend you don’t enjoy being a mass murderer of all my faves!
Someone needs to stop giving me the opportunity to kill characters
Bloody love lotr!
Reblog if you are a fan!
I feel like Kai would have an aneurysm if someone ruined his suit. He’s super particular, but Irene isn’t so bothered.
Kai and Irene dancing a tango during some book heist or another and it's like 90% sexual tension and flirting poorly disguised as them discussing work and 10% them actually discussing the work
It goes off without a hitch but Kai needs a veeeeery cold shower afters.
Like if you agree
Irene has the right idea, mint choc chip is supreme!
My current ice cream headcannons?
Kai: rum and raison
Irene: mint choc chip
Vale: coffee
Li Ming: Lemon
Ao Shun: licorice
Silver: vanilla
Catherine: white chocolate
Oh my gosh, I adore this. He’s super beautiful, thanks for the movie recs as well.
It took me nearly two weeks to figure out who I was picturing as Kai while I was reading. But when I tweeted at Genevieve and she mentioned Chow Yun Fat, that reminded me of Zhang Ziyi (who starred in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with him) and a movie she starred that I sobbed to last night - House of Flying Daggers. This is a long way of saying I remembered this beautiful man who I was in love with back in 2005 and was who I've been picturing as Kai without even realizing.
Everyone please look at Takeshi Kaneshiro who, circa 1996-2007, is the perfect look for Kai:
Super adorable! I just love them as a couple they’re perfect for each other. This was really cool. Thanks.
Hey, can you do Irene and Kai for the ship ask thing? Thanks
Irene wakes up first but it's because she's a restless sleeper and she goes back to sleep pretty soon after. Kai still there and breathing? Good. Back to bed.
Irene but she usually don't mean to, it just happens.
Irene teases Kai for being a snob, Kai teases Irene for her taste in literature (he approves, it just makes her flush whe he mentions Sherlock Holmes around her and Vale)
Kai makes Irene tea, gives her a snack, kisses her forehead and leaves her alone to read. Maybe also wraps a blanket around her. Irene makes Kai comfort food, probably goes down tto China Town so that she can get proper ingredients and they cook it together, but she surprises him with all the stuff to do it and probably preps all of the ingredients, he's a better cook than she is so she let's him take over after that.
I don't think either of them are the kind to say sorry, or really the kind to have petty arguments. Either they are arguing for a good reason, and it's more of a debate with a clear winner and loser, and the loser gradually concedes defeat and admits that they were wrong or its just 'I told you to replace the milk when you finish it.'
'Yeah well I told you not to run the hot tap whilst I was in the shower!' not real arguments just good hearted bickering.
Kai 100% but he will deny it until he's blue (haha) in the face
Splashing through the puddles, kissing underneath an umbrella or awning, and snuggling up to watch the rain out of the windows with big mugs of tea and a plate of cookies
Dumb question. Books. Books. And more books. Kai buys Irene cooking books when he wants to poke fun at her style of pasta or cheese on toast, Irene has bought Kai picture books on more than one occasion because it has a dragon in it
I don't think either of them are big on PDA, so it's just hand holding, kisses on the cheek or forehead. I think I'd have to say Irene napping with her head on Kai's thigh after they have had a picnic by the serpentine on a rare sunny day in Vale's London. That or them linking pinkie fingers whilst working next to or opposite each other.
^^
That would be wild, for sure! 😂
Maybe I should write that Irene x Ao Guang thing I jokes about the other month
