Hi! Just wanted to say I re-read BtB all the time, it's really comforting and got me through a lot of tough moments in my life ^^ I can quote some of my favorite passages by memory at this point jfjfks
not sure if I've sent an ask before but I was just reminded because I was going to start to reading from the beginning again, so hope you don't mind a duplicate if that's the case!
Hello there @apolloandellipses 🤗💜!
AW! Thanks so much for this beautiful message, my lovely. You're super sweet to take the time to leave it.
Firstly, I'm so touched to learn that the series helped bring you comfort and aided you during some tough times. 💜 To know that it offered that, as well as entertainment, is truly special. Thank you for sharing this with me.
Back to the start! Oh aweome! So chuffed to hear you're gonna hop on the crazy train again and revisit the BtB insanity again (and to know you've re-read it before is just...wow). I hope you enjoy your next re-read, sweetie. 💜 Thank you again for reaching out to me here and bringing me joy! xx

going insane thinking about the harrow and palamedes friendship. harrow, who has never met another necromancer her age forming a bizarro 3D chess rivalry while pal worries about her safety at every possible turn. harrow, who is up to her eyebrows in paranoia and secrecy, trusting the sixth house with gideon unconscious and hurt, letting them into the ninth house quarters unsupervised. if “i cannot conceive of a universe without you in it” is goth for i love you, “death first to vultures and scavengers” has got to be goth for i love you (platonic). pal’s first reaction when harrow comes into his bubble in the river is to scoop her up in a hug, and at this point she doesn’t remember anything about him because cutting out all her memories of gideon is impossible without cutting out memories of the sixth, but she still makes him a skelehand to inhabit anyway. when harrow’s memories are finally whole, she tells dulcinea she couldn’t face pal knowing that his pen pal girlfriend died on her account, but the next time she “faces” him, palamades’s soul is in someone else’s body and harrow’s body is full of nona’s soul. he spends six months protecting and caring for harrow’s body (and nona obv), believing in the possibility of bringing her back to it the same way cam believed in him. “god, do you know i miss harrow terribly.” and by the time harrow comes back to her body at the very end of ntn, pal is gone forever, fully pauled. the last time harrow and palamades see each other as their complete selves is in canaan house, alive and unlyctored. two of the smartest and loneliest people in the solar system meet each other in the worst of circumstances and spend the rest of the story dancing around each other as fragments of themselves, trying to care about each other in the interim but never fully meeting like they did the first time. a friendship made almost entirely of missing the other person. “do you know i miss harrow terribly.” god. i need to lie down
