“I’ve never hated you.”

lay your weapons down

and I'll take my armor off

say what we need to say

and love before it's lost

Lay Your Weapons Down x Masriel

And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won’t just be able to take one, they’ll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we’ll be joined so tight…

Then Lyra took one of those little red fruits. With a fast-beating heart, she turned to him and said, “Will.”

And she lifted the fruit gently to his mouth.

She could see from his eyes that he knew at once what she meant, and that he was too joyful to speak. her fingers were still at his lips, and he felt them tremble, and he put his own hand up to hold hers there, and then neither of them could look; they were confused; they were brimming with happiness.

Like two moths clumsily bumping together, with no more weight than that, their lips touched. Then before they knew how it happened, they were clinging together, blindly pressing their faces toward each other.

in my feelings over the way the ending of his dark materials said all that matters is love and stories and working hard to live full lives. that the act of falling in love was enough to bring dust back into the world. that curiosity sparks love and the imagination that makes us human. that playing the serpent just meant telling a simple story all along. that the ease and grace of childhood can be regained through work. and that living for love is more romantic than dying for it

He was truly fearless, and she admired that beyond measure; but he wasn’t good at lying and betraying and cheating, which all came to her as naturally as breathing. When she thought of that, she felt warm and virtuous, because she did it for Will, never for herself. – (His Dark Materials: The Amber Spyglass, Chapter 13)

It was such an unexpected remark that he blinked. His dæmon uttered the softest possible growl at the back of her throat. He said nothing.

Midnight, The Amber Spyglass

“it was midnight”

“Everything, every surface, every cubic centimetre of air, was permeated by the falling Dust, which gave a soft clarity to every tiny detail.”

“Oh, Asriel, what will happen to us?” Mrs Coulter said again. “Is this the end of everything?” He said nothing.
