#so yeah! more bealil goodness 😌)

[daisychainsandbowties]

i was never someone to ship a character with two people simultaneously until your warrior nun star wars AU came along and my experience with Lilith and Beatrice was “I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me”

(of course it did)

what happened was i started thinking ‘hmm, maybe i’ll add one small drop of bealil to this’ and then two days later i was neck-deep in harrow x ianthe brainrot. and lilith was carrying bea in her arms. she was sitting on the beach to capture the sound of the waves for a girl whose life she destroyed (and saved)

i love that they’re a tragedy (and they know it) but the love happens anyway. bea is a shipwrecked sailor and lilith is the deep sea creature drawn to the surface by her struggling.

drawn to the surface by her light. bea clinging to lilith as the storm tosses them towards a distant shore.

they make me think (in their moments of grace) of Robert Frost’s poem ‘stopping by the woods on a snowy evening’

‘the woods are lovely, dark and deep,

but i have promises to keep,

and miles to go before i sleep,

and miles to go before i sleep.’
