"D'ores et déjà", Gold and Jade & Amon
(or how my brain gave me a vision right before sleeping and my need to share it with the world)
D'ores et déjà /dɔʁ.z‿e de.ʒa/ is an old school french expression. It's made of ores /ɔʁ/ which meant "now" (-> old form of or /ɔʁ/ from the latin hac hora meaning "at this time") and déjà /de.ʒa/ itself formed of dès /de/ (since, as soon as, immediatly depending on the context) and jà /ʒa/ (old french for formerly/previously or used once the "until now" criteria is met)
The expression means now, with a persistance and insistance added with déjà. It could be translated as "from now on" or "as of now".
The thought that crawled in my mind before sleep was that d'ores et déjà was phonetically very close to d'or et de jade /dɔʁ‿e də ʒad/ (which is not a real saying, it could mean "made of gold and jade") which could fit Amon's dynamic quite well.
Amon are both stuck in the past, in different ways. One hasn't been able to move on from it, the other is digging it up incessantly. They are linked to the other; especially since the end of season 1, by loss and grief.
Ores instills a notion of now, of the start of an action and the closing of the last one. Associating it to Anton, who is pretty known for his single focus, inability to go forwards and open a new chapter of his life by hanging on the last one, can make sense. Adding to it, or (gold), his eye color. Also known to be noble, a symbol of power and wealth while also being one of the most malleable metal on its own. Like Anton's moral compass without Olezha pointing it in the right direction.
Dmitri would make sense first as déjà in its original meanings (before/formerly and already) as his relationship with the Douchnov siblings makes him focus on an unfixable past. Secondly, like the words role in the expression, Dmitri is persistant as it's showed thoroughly in the show, being borderline obtuse at time. Also jade is a stone known to be tenacious as well as similar in colors to Dmitri's eyes.
In conclusion, my brain told me an expression kinda sounded like two precious materials and that I could make it about Amon so I did. In my opinion, if I think about Amon and how they would be together; they would need to have d'ores et déjà moved on from whatever hold them back to fully appreciate each other but it's not as if I'm looking at them for healthy relationship.
