entwines

Coils together lovingly

Entwines means twists or weaves together, wrapping around something or each other: Ivy entwines the trellis, Their fingers entwined.

The word suggests intimate or inseparable connection, often used figuratively for things bound closely: Their fates are entwined, Memory and place entwine in her writing.
