brennan: ayda’s life runs on a phoenix cycle, being reborn over and over again with no memories of her past life to hold onto except for the notes she leaves herself when she knows her time has come
i’m finally finishing up the unsleeping city now tht i hav dropout again and god. i rlly do adore the anti-parallels btwn kingston & pete. kingston being the voice of the people, giving up his dreams, his ambitions, his everything to help his community thrive. and pete, the voice of those very dreams, with no community that ever felt like home, no one to ever attach himself to, with only his own desires to drive him. two incredibly different people that find themselves at odds but come together the most, alongside the fact that their magics cannot flourish without the other like... holy fuck can i breathe please this is all so much i lov them
