Precognition: Bloom received visions of the conduit to the Realm of Darkness that Sebastian would later open up and of herself in the Realm. Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.” ― Nicole Krauss While she is getting ready for the Orientation Party, Stella displays magic control in front of Bloom. Asking Stella about her magic, it is explained that Fairy Magic is linked to emotion, positive or negative. The stronger the emotion, the stronger the magic.

Although her first novel, Love Invents Us, and Normal, a non-fiction book of interviews with transsexuals that she wrote after doing some professional work in the area, were both well received, it was the success of Away that promoted Bloom into another league. Now, she says, "I get 30 people at a reading instead of nine." The book takes place in the aftermath of a massacre but is, fundamentally, optimistic, "about creating some happiness in a painful life. I wanted to write about people going on, after terrible loss." As we grow older together, as we continue to change with age, there is one thing that will never change. I will always keep falling in love with you.” — Karen Clodfelder I realized I was thinking of you, and I began to wonder how long you’d been on my mind. Then it occurred to me: Since I met you, you’ve never left.” — Unknown Sky is Bloom's main love interest and by the end of season 1, they've kissed twice, but it is unknown if they are dating.

Because of you I can feel myself slowly but surely becoming the me I have always dreamed of being.” — Tyler Knott Gregson You might not have been my first love but you were the love that made all the other loves irrelevant.” ― Rupi Kaur That stringency is hard to square with her career in psychotherapy, which must, surely, have involved listening to people talk endlessly about themselves, as Bloom's characters are not permitted to do. "Right!" she says. "Which is why when people say, did being a therapist help you become a writer, I say, no. Not really – although learning to listen to people is certainly a good thing if you're going to write, as well as learning to shut up so they can finish their sentence." She had strong ideas about the limitations of therapy. Would she ever tell a client to snap out of it? "Well, for example, if someone has been spending three hours over the course of three weeks speaking about their Yorkshire terrier's breathing difficulties, at some point I might say" – she smiles dangerously – "that's a lot of time about the Yorkie. And if that doesn't move them, I might say something like, you know, sometimes people are aggressively boring because they don't want to talk about what's on their mind."

Convergence Magic: With the use of a Convergence Crystal, Bloom managed to do a Convergence Ceremony. In Season 2 the two are in a relationship for a year now. Throughout the Season their bond is getting stronger and stronger. In Episode 1, Bloom is on a mission with her friends to free Silva before gets send to exile for his crimes, for Sky‘s sake, even if he denies it. In Episode 2 Sky shows Bloom his place where he grew up and his horses. In his house they have their first time together, shortly before Andreas (Sky‘s father) burns his house down. In Episode 3 they get seated next to each other at the banquet, in Episode 4 they go to the Grapevine pub together. After killing his own father in self defense Bloom tries to comfort Sky while he‘s grieving but acting to be fine. He never shares his problems with Bloom because (quoting him) „you‘re the solution.“In an era of withering attention spans, it's surprising that short stories aren't in greater demand. It's a question of commitment, Bloom says. "There is a big category of not very well-written but extremely readable novels – books you take to the beach, to the airport, the genre novels that don't require much of you but fill a few hours. There are very few short stories like that: big, badly written, eminently readable. Those novels require absolutely nothing. It's like watching television." Even the literary magazines she writes for reject stories that have more than one strand. "The short story in the modern magazine is an extended anecdote." I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self-respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald I know that somehow, every step I took since the moment I could walk was a step towards finding you.” — Nicholas Sparks I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.” ― Jonathan Safran Foer
