boy Mary was going t h r o u g h it in the series finale like she finds out she has to return home after helping fulfill the prophecy leaving Atal behind, comes face to face with a very pretty angel and then meets a very pretty witch queen who helps her see her dæmon and then going off of the last scene we see her I’m assuming she meets Will’s Mum who is a sweetheart so all in all poor Mary’s lesbian ass had to have been like

Inktober 52 2023 - Week 4 - ‘Angel’
Lord Asriel with his dæmon Stelmaria meeting with the rebellious angel Xaphania.
Been watching the last season of His dark materials. Which is soooo good. Watch it if you enjoyed the book series if you can (the whole series is currently on BBC iPlayer).

I want everyone to consider how interesting a book about Baruch and Balthamos would be. It would be set in Will's world, so no daemons, but a love story between a human and an angel is top tier. We could also have more info about Xaphania's war (something I want to know more about), and about Metatron.
The book could start around when they first meet, and then it would go spiral from there, and we could have mutual pining and a lot of religious references. It would be the most Hozier-coded book ever written.
And it could also get in depth about the relationship between Baruch and Metatron, and why Metatron was so evil (I can totally imagine Baruch being hurt and confused about his brother's behavior, and perhaps feeling guilty later that he did nothing to prevent it). Of course, a backstory would not excuse Metatron's deeds, but it would perhaps explain them, and add to the relationship between him and Baruch.
Xaphania could also make an appearance, since in the show, she did know Baruch - I know that does not apply to the books as well, but I like the idea of her, Baruch and Balthamos all knowing each other.
I think such a book would work better from Baruch's POV, with him slowly finding out more about angels, other worlds and things like that, and it could end with dying and turning into an angel, joining Balthamos.
I just think their relationship is very poetic.

Evermore by Taylor Swift is THE His Dark Materials album. Right Where You Left Me? Silverparry. Ivy? Masriel. Cowboy Like Me? Also Masriel. Marjorie? Will and Jopari. Coney Island? Silverparry anthem. Gold Rush? Marisa Coulter. Dorothea? Lyra and Roger. No I will not elaborate.
Also Silverparry and Masriel are Lover and Reputation and I stand by that.
