This Is How You Lose the Time War

Funny how we always think of knights as fighting dragons, when in fact they work for them.

I love you. I love you. I love you. I’ll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You’ll never see, but you will know. I’ll be all the poets, I’ll kill them all and take each one’s place in turn, and every time love’s written in all the strands it will be to you.
