How did you manage to make me fall in love with ava x lilith you write them so tragic and soft😩i was strictly avatrice until i came across your blog

i mean they’re narrative foils they’ve tried (and succeeded in) killing each other. they have power they never asked for and they’re on opposite sides of holiness. but the same.

they understand each other and they don’t. they’re like night chasing daylight and in the end they’re shaped around each other, so necessary to each other.

the scenes they have together are some of my favourites because they feel so helpless. lilith trying to carve into ava’s back and then dying for her, in front of her, blood running from her mouth and ava the last thing she saw, staring up at her.

how they’re both christ-like, the walking dead with wounds that won’t stick and others that refuse to disappear. lilith the photo-negative to ava, her shadow and the monster she created.

that scene in lilith’s house and taking a girl home, pinning her to the wall trying to hold her saying come with me, be selfish, leave your love on the doorstep.

they feel so bound together to me and yeah i think in loving each other they make peace with themselves because they’re so alike. i love the way they dance around each other and how lilith doesn’t treat ava like she’s made of glass and how she learns to be gentle with her because it’s good and it’s love and she can be touched in return with reverence for what she is and not in spite of it

#they make me insane 🥰😭#i’m glad you like the avalil stuff it’s very much a collaborative thing of me and [redacted] just tossing things back and forth #and yeah!! they’re so soft and tragic and i love writing about them #anon #avalil #ava x lilith
