i think about rowena dying first all of the time ☹️
#succumbing to the taint first. which isn’t fair to alistair. he was a warden first so he was supposed to die first. just made sense.#i think abt him already knowing it was going to happen bc they could both sense it ofc#but i think abt him Feeling it when she goes#and them spending every quiet moment together knowing the end is in sight#always knowing they could never have a happy ending but finally being forced to face it#those quotes#‘let me die the moment my love dies. let me not outlive my own capacity to love. let me die loving and so never die.’#and ‘our bodies are falling apart and i think i will follow you very soon. if you stretch out your hand you can reach me’#and ‘i tried to die and get back to you. i thought even the bones would do’#and ‘my dear we are slow dancing in a burning room’#and ‘it’s a tragedy the way he loves you; if you two could not make it no one will’#NAH WAIT IM CRYING HOLD UP#anyways.txt#x: a soft epilogue
