i finished my reread of the raven cycle and amidst all the big feelings, one thing i can't seem to get out of my head is the relationship between adam and opal.

ronan loves opal since she's a part of him, he created her, he will give his life for her, like he will for matthew or chainsaw.

but adam's love for opal? comes from love itself. he saves her life and ronan's. he sees himself in her when she tries to not draw any attention to herself in an anxious situation, gets on her eye level and gives her his watch, albeit needing it. goes back into cabeswater amidst it's horrors to get her back, at the end of that chapter, he still reminds ronan that they need to take opal with them. she sits by him as he does scrying. she kisses his arm when his hands are possessed and puts the watch back on him, to remind him of who he is. he sits blue between himself and opal so he doesn't attack opal. when he unbinds himself from the ribbons, he pats her head first. compares ronan to opal and we know he thinks very highly of ronan.

even after all the harshness of the world and life that adam has had to deal with, his softness towards opal shows how utterly beautiful he is as a person. i love him so much.

in 'opal' their relationship grows even more, but even in the raven cycle you can see the deep love they share for each other. i can understand why in 'opal' she is so distressed by adam going away for college, because adam and ronan would have spent those months between november and post-summer the next year with her, and she loves them both equally. god, adam and opal's love for each other is everything to me.
