Think about Bartimaeus canonically taking Nathaniel's form. Thinking about a yet another boy who got his eternity by being loved. Thinking about a boy who through he would engrave his fake name in centuries by being cruel but ended engraving his real name in centuries by being righteous and selfless and kind. Thinking about Bartimaeus brushing his hand through his hair from time to time when he wears his form. Thinking about Bartimaeus meddling with the collar of his shirt and noticing smal scars on his own body and noticing how his heart doesn't beat because he's not Nathaniel after all. Thinking about him smirking and noticing how weird it looks on this face. Thinking about love and respect outliving centuries of cruelty and being more powerful than any words that could possibly be said. Thinking about that again.

hey guys are you ready to talk about the inherent symbolism of sharing a body and trusting eachother enough to read each other's thoughts and splitting the sounds of a heartbeat beetwen two minds until the very last moment it echoes in their head and the inherent personal intimacy of this closure for the millionth time or

Quick reminder than Bartimaeus is canonically Nathaniel's biggest weakness because oh how tragic it is.

I laugh audibly when people on Tiktok go "this is not a romantic song don't edit it to your ships it's about toxic codependent relationship!!!". My dears, I added it to my bartnat playlist. That's the point. That's why it's there. These two would crawl under each other's ribs, share the oxygen in their lungs, the contractions of their hearts and become the most equal two beings can physically be before admitting they even remotely liked each other. That's the point.
