❝ . . . all ended with her eyes,

hell, purgatory, paradise. ❞

starfall / starkiller,

i never knew daylight could be so violent.

It ends with the rising sun and with it everything begins.
Amongst the endless branches made of beaming light,
the lightbringers blade pierces the beginning and the end alike;
The white lion falls to its doom and drags the jade dragon along with her,
into the endless darkness.

Every war stops:
(knife at hand, fire on skin)
and Oriande waits for the force to resew the light into her branches once again.

✴︎

got no human grace,

you're eyes without a face.

❝I wanted her bones, her blood and her tissues,
the sinews that bound her together.
I would have held her to me though time had stripped away the tones and textures of her skin.
I could have held her for a thousand years until the skeleton itself rubbed away to dust.

What are you that makes me feel thus?
Who are you for whom time has no meaning?
In the heat of her hands I thought,
'this is the campfire that mocks the sun'.

This place will warm me, feed me and care for me.
I will hold on to this pulse against other rhythms.
The world will come and go in the tide of a day but here is her hand with my future in its palm.❞

  Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

❝ . . . love,

in fire and blood. ❞

🪐 the playlists for the story !! i'd appreciate it a lot if you guys gave them a listen (which you don't have to ofc), but i'm really proud of them i love making playlists

🪐 the first playlist is the main one (for the story as a whole) and i tried to divide it (sort of) by sections which would represent the acts??? i am not making sense but the point is they're carefully organized 😭
