best of tsc: will and tessa as parents in chain of gold
❝We’re always speaking very sternly to our children about that very thing. ‘If you don’t throw yourself into situations headlong, James and Lucie, you can expect bread and water for supper again.’ ❞
— william herondale, the infernal devices
bloodthirsty little beasts. never trust a duck.
we battle hardest when that which is dearer to us than our own lives at stake, said jem. a parabatai is both blade and shield. you belong together and to each other not because you are the same but because your different shapes fit together to be a greater whole, a greater warrior for a higher purpose. i always believed we were not merely at our best together, but beyond the best either of us could be apart.
