"Stop pretending, Moiraine. I think you’re afraid. You don’t want me to know how weak you feel. How unprepared. Overwhelmed. Because then you’ll have to face it yourself."
MOIRAINE SEDAI and LAN MANDRAGORAN in WHEEL OF TIME 2.08
no one is as obsessed with the Lan & Moiraine of it all as Daniel Henney and Rosamund Pike are and I love that for them
this woman is so knee deep into the 3,000 word one shot fluff fic she’s writing where Lan and Moiraine retire into the countryside and adopt a magical dog together she’s forgotten it’s not canon- it’s “when Lan and Moiraine get a dog” not “if”- what a joy I love them both so much
Stop pretending, Moiraine. I think you're afraid. You don't want me to know how weak you feel. How unprepared. Overwhelmed.Because then you'll have to face it yourself. You can't hurt me anymore, Moiraine. It took me a long time to accept what you said, about us not being equals, but I understand it now. And I believe in what you do, even now, when I know not half of it. The only reason that I was able to say that you're not my equal is that I've known one thing to be true since the first day we met. You have always been my better. Let me back in.
