mal cutting his palm while defending alina and getting a scar that matches hers being followed up by mal’s voiceover saying “alina, if you get this letter, know that when i told you about true north, i was talking about you. you are my true north and i can see my way to you now” lining up with the exact moment genya erases alina’s palm scar—her mal scar—is my 13th reason

mal and alina perfectly capture the feeling of being in love with your best friend. alina being smitten with mal and getting jealous of other girls flirting with mal without saying a word of it to him. mal being willing to go to the ends of the earth for alina before even realizing he’s in love with her. both of them terrified to act on their romantic feelings for different reasons—alina being insecure and thinking mal doesn’t see her that way, mal being insecure about potentially ruining the most important relationship of his life even tho he does look at alina in a more than platonic light... if you’ve ever been in love with a close friend, you know the fear and uncertainty that come with it, with the thought of changing your dynamic and the possibility of things going wrong, the possibility of losing your favorite person. they have it ALL they have all the delicious yearning and pining and unflinching commitment to each other

I hear that sound again. Softly. Calling to me. (When we were kids, you’d hold my hand, and sometimes I’d hear it in the back of my head.)

"How do you get your information, Mister Brekker?"
"You might say I'm a lockpick."
"You must be a very gifted one."
"I am indeed." Kaz leaned back slightly. "You see, every man is a safe, a vault of secrets and longings. Now, there are those who take the brute's way, but I prefer a gentler approach - the right pressure applied at the right moment, in the right place. It's a delicate thing."
"Do you always speak in metaphors, Mister Brekker?"
Kaz smiled. "It's not a metaphor."
He was out of his chair before his chains hit the ground.
happy birthday mariela! ♡ [@barrowmare]
