Summary
Pejageya Nejud is Squaller. An incompetent one, if she had to be honest with herself. At least, that’s what she has been all her life…
After Queen Zoya had ascended to the throne, the policies concerning Peja’s education in the Little Palace have just about changed her whole life. The threat of a multitude of subjects she would have to take for her last two years of school seemed daunting, especially for the untalented Grisha she now was, ever since she graduated from the children’s school. But would taking on a different order to study be a challenge, or an opportunity?

Summary
“Do you know the difference between Alina Starkova and myself, General?” I asked quietly.
Molten eyes held mine for a second before I pulled away. Dried blood crusted beneath my fingertips, clinging to my dirtied skin. How much of it was my own? How much of it was hers?
“Alina is a good person.”
---
Anastasia “Poppy” Belinskaya knows Alina Starkova well, enough to realize that she isn't the Sun Summoner. Alina isn't even Grisha, despite what the Darkling may believe.Poppy would know; she is the one that framed her, after all.

Summary
Will Solace had always moved through life like a whisper in the wind, blending seamlessly into the fabric of the everyday world around him. Little did he know that beneath the surface, a torrent of magic coursed through his veins, a Grisha destined to wield the brilliance of light against encroaching darkness. Fate intervened as the ominous clouds of war churned on the horizon and sinister shadows writhed with malevolence. It guided him towards Nico di Angelo, a boy cloaked in an ethereal gloom, grappling with an inner tumult that kept him shrouded in mystery. Unbeknownst to both, their paths were intricately entwined by destiny, with the power to reshape the very world they inhabited. Together, they would confront the gathering storms and illuminate the shadows that threatened to engulf them.

Summary
Curiosity gnawed at Alina. “They’re close, aren’t they?” she murmured to Mal, eyes fixed on the pair.
“Seems that way,” Mal replied.
“It is a bit odd though,” Mal admits, “ Sturmhond doesn’t strike me as someone who’d rely on anyone but himself.”
Perhaps that was what puzzled Alina. Sturmhond was a man of contradictions—brilliant and maddening, secretive yet open with his affections. She had seen how he commanded loyalty from his crew through wit and respect, but the way he looked at his Fabrikator was different. It wasn’t just admiration for her skill as a Durast. There was something deeper, something almost tender.
___
Alternatively: Alina asks the crew about the curious relationship Sturmhond has with his Fabrikator.

Summary
He stared at the Grisha, but he couldn't believe that he was about to see Ivan die. It just couldn't be. Not like this. Not on an ordinary trip, not in the middle of Shu Han. Ivan couldn't die like...
Like Kirigan's three trusted Heartrenders before him.
It had to be Kaminsky. It was a disgusting, utterly undignified thought, but Sablin couldn't help himself. It was Kaminsky who should have been lying in Ivan's place.Pre-canon (about 35 years before the canon), with a free interpretation of small science and the Second Army. We also ignore parts of the canon that don't make the most sense, such as when the Darkling makes yesterday's schoolboy his trusted officer. Consequently, the characters' ages differ from the canon. This is part of the 'Theory and Practice of Small Science' series.

Summary
Truth be told, he isn’t entirely sure what it is they are even doing here. There is no immediate demand for explosives: the fighting is over, at least for now, the survivors are recovering, resting, reconnecting. Things are quiet, almost subdued. Non-explosive, so to speak.
Jesper and Wylan share a moment, after the battle. Feelings are had. Sparks fly.

Summary
Он неотрывно смотрел на гришей, но в то, что сейчас увидит смерть Ивана, поверить не мог. Этого просто не могло быть. Не так. Не в рядовой поездке, не в середине Шухана. Иван не мог умереть, как…
Как трое доверенных сердцебитов Киригана до него.
Это должен был быть Каминский. Это была отвратительная, совершенно недостойная мысль, но Саблин ничего не мог с собой поделать. Это Каминский должен был лежать на месте Ивана.Series
