«i will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but mine.»

[morczov]

" When I first met him... he was the most gallant of lovers. He knew so many things. He delighted in sharing his knowledge. He had a castle full of treasures, and he took such pleasure in showing them, giving them to me. He was so gentle, and his skin felt like white silk against my skin. And I gave what I could give to one such as he. When we made love, it was like a flame: I felt utterly engulfed, utterly loved. Treasured. I have been with many poets, many dreamers... but his love alone was ice and fire. His eyes were stars. "

[morczov]

" You never knew the stars had a flavour until you first kissed him.

It turns out they taste like ambition and ancient fire desperation and self-destruction determination and dark matter and the mind-numbing fear of being left alone again. "

[morczov]

" The darkling's face was different - the sharp bones were there, the pale smooth skin, the glimmering gray eyes, but its shape was slightly altered, the scars given to him by the volcra gone. His long black hair almost brushed his collarbones. His voice, though - that cool glass voice of command - was the same. "

[morczov]

“ I tried not to notice the way he looked - his mussed hair, the shadowed ridges of his bare chest. He seemed so human, just a boy wounded in battle or maybe sparring.

Not a boy, I reminded myself, a MONSTER who has lived hundreds of years and taken hundreds of lives. ”

“The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.”

If someone asks for me someday, Say that I lived to love you Before you, I only existed — tired and with nothing to offer. My treasure, listen to my prayers I plead that you return, that you’ll want me again I know that you can’t love alone Perhaps, slowly, you can learn again.

— Amar pelos dois by Salvador Sobral

YA LIT MEME // EIGHT OTPS: [1/8] Alina Starkov & The Darkling

“Why won’t you leave me alone?” I whispered one night as he hovered behind me while I tried to work at my desk. Long minutes passed. I didn’t think he would answer. I even had time to hope he might have gone, until I felt his hand on my shoulder. “Then I’d be alone, too,” he said, and he stayed the whole night through, till the lamps burned down to nothing.

@sixofcrowsnet heist: objects & symbols: morozova’s amplifiers

Ilya Morozova is the father of Baghra, and the grandfather of The Darkling. He was obsessed with finding Amplifiers which led him to seek out the white stag, the sea whip, & the fire bird.

[morczov]

“ DIVINITY will stain your fingers and mouth like a pomegranate. It will swallow you whole and spit you out, wine-dark and wanting. You will reach for it, AGAIN AND AGAIN, greedy fingers clutching at everything you can reach. The divine will curl its way through your veins and take you over, and it will not leave you quietly. I feel divinity in my bones like aching; LIKE FIRE. ”

[morczov]

“ You were standing there like an ANGRY GOD, counting out my sins just to cross them off. Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust and that my blood couldn't keep you . . .

My dear, you're not so innocent. You're fooling Heaven's gates, so you won't have to change. You're NO SAINT, you're NO SAVIOR. ”
