"Please, Come back to me"

I tried to make them justice with this edit about their whole story and give you all the Closure the show didn't give us.

Hope i made it.

Ælysium

“We should have died,” she cried. “We should have fallen into the abyss and been obliterated.”

The golden monkey stroked her tangled, coarse hair with his little black hand. “It’s not much further now. And then we can sleep, and then – ”

“And then?” she said. “And then we shall wake in this strange new world, our only company a dying, drooling, useless man, who may never be well again – ” She gasped and pressed her hand over her mouth, the tears on her face glinting in the moonlight, as if her cheeks were decorated with silver charms.

“Hush now, Marisa,” the monkey said, curling into her and placing his hand over her heart. “If he does not recover, we can always cross back without him.”

That thought placated her somewhat, and she bent her head so that her dæmon could wipe her tears.

By the time they reached the clearing again, the sky was alive with stars. Marisa dropped the bags with a thud and stood there, aching and weeping and drained, and tilted her head back with a wince. She took deep, gasping breaths and tried to surrender to the expanse above her. She let her eyes flit from star to star, her tears blurring the scene into a sparkling sea, and thought of the other worlds layered upon this one, in which other people were looking up at other stars and other moons, and begging for conviction, just as she was. She sunk to her knees, the cool night air ruffling her hair.

She knew that she should dress Asriel’s head and clean her own wounds before succumbing to sleep, but within seconds the sky has begun to ripple and pulse as if it were a dissipating hallucination, and Marisa knew that she could do no more for either of them before the dawn broke. With her last conscious thoughts, Marisa crawled across the ground, pulled a blanket from the trunk and laid her head down beneath the stars, drifting off into a fitful sleep beside her wounded lover, her dæmon curled into her breast, the pair of them breathing as one.

Marisa and Asriel kill Metatron, avoid the abyss and escape into another world. Read on AO3.

Not to be dramatic but romance and love peaked for me at the age of 13 or whenever I listened to these books when I heard the words:

"And when we do find each other again, we'll cling together so tight that nothing and no one'll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you...We'll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pin trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams...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..." in the Amber Spyglass

Did anyone else feel like that episode moved too quickly?

I mean, I guess it sets the pace for the rest of the series, but we didn't get the chance to learn anything about Lyra's history with the gyptians, or about Oxford in general.

I dunno, it just felt kind of underwhelming.
