“Mal,” I whispered into the night. “What?” “Thanks for finding me.” I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming, but somewhere in the dark, I thought I heard him whisper, “Always.”

I spun. Mal’s voice in the dark. Let it be a trick of sound, I thought. But I knew the Squallers’ blanket had long since been lifted. How had he found me? Stupid question. Mal would always find me.

“Bring him back to me,” I repeated. I wasn’t making sense. I knew that. They didn’t have Morozova’s power. But Mal could make rabbits out of rocks. He could find true north standing on his head. He would find his way back to me again.

*Something something about Mal always being able to find Alina, always finding his way back to her, always being there for her, never voluntarily leaving her side*

Wanna see something funny?

This is the first (well, third) thing Mal says to Alina in the books: “I don’t think you’re ugly.”

And this is one of the first things The Darkling says to Alina: “I guess you only look like a mouse.”

ngl hope we get the “i love you, alina, even the part of you that loved him” in the 2nd or 3rd season

Shadow and Bone, chapter 1:

I was the mapmaker, but Mal could find true north blindfolded and standing on his head.

Shadow and Bone, chapter 16:

“Mal,” I whispered into the night.

“What?”

“Thanks for finding me.”

I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming, but somewhere in the dark, I thought I heard him whisper, “Always.”

At some point during the night, I woke to Mal’s snoring. I jabbed him in the back with my elbow. He rolled onto his side, muttered something in his sleep, and threw his arm over me. A minute later he started snoring again, but this time I didn’t wake him.

love that mal’s first interaction with the darkling is lying to him and then nearly beginning to argue with him in front of everyone

"I know you’re scared. I am, too. But we’re going to do this, and we’re going to be fine. We always are. Okay?” - Chapter 1

Whatever happened here, we would be all right. We had survived the Fold, and we would survive this madness, too. - Chapter 3

I know it’s fun to joke about the size of the antlers but in case anyone’s forgotten how they made it fit alina’s neck (i had), here it is

The tagline: “A dark heart. A pure soul. A love that will last forever.”

[wewillbehappyagain]

I’ve finished siege and storm+ruin and rising today and read the trilogy in a bit more than 48 hours!! I love reading i’m kinda out of my slump

[wewillbehappyagain]

Do we know more about sankt lubov? i don’t remember him in the lives of saints

“But most of the pages showed the Saints in their martyrdoms: Sankta Lizabeta being drawn and quartered, the beheading of Sankt Lubov, Sankt Ilya in Chains. I froze.“

Imagine mal and alina getting cows for their orphanage
