    Summary

    Aleksander is in need of a Shu translator, a smart one, to help with an intercepted cipher. Luckily he finds Alina Starkova just sitting there in Poliznaya. He feels an instant connection with the talented woman and invites her to join his oprichniki, but it turns out she is nothing like she first appeared and navigating that will be a challenge all on its own.

    Grishaverse works written by the same Anon, just a convenient place to gather them together. They are not necessarily sequels or share the same universe, but sometimes share common themes.

    Summary

    When Alina Starkov had set fire to the dead body of Aleksander Morozova - which had been placed on the funeral pyre - she hadn't realized that this would only be the beginning of her troubles. She did not only inherit the dark powers of the Darkling, losing the ability to summon light, but she also threatened the political security of all Ravka. All Saints' Day - also known as Diedy - was approaching inexorably, and it was then that Alina was to publicly appear to her subjects. A painting found at a stall with gifts for the dead forever changed the life of the future queen of Ravka. Or rather, not the painting itself, but the caption put under it, which read: "The Starless Saint".

    This story begins at the end of Season 2 of the "Shadow and Bone" TV series and presents the possible events of Season 3 from the perspective of Alina Starkov and Aleksander Morozova. The plot is based on the concept of "love warring", presented by Ben Barnes, who plays the Darkling. This fic is a canon divergence, combining the events of the series and the book canon from the "King of Scars" duology.

    Summary

    Summary

    “I have devoted my life to undoing the great sin of my forebearer but I’m never seen as the solution, always as a reminder of the problem. They always need someone to blame.”

    “Can you tell me any more about him?” Black eyes snap to hers. “Please.”

     

    Instead of just flirting at the fountain, Alina starts asking questions. The Darkling is forced to reassess his plans and the Sun Summoner starts forging her own...


    "Every time we gaze through a window, or set foot on a sandy beach, we are interacting with material made by exploding stars that burned millions of years ago."1

     

    "Obsidian is a volcanic glass...hard, brittle, and amorphous; it therefore fractures with sharp edges."2

    His mother had always said that love was never eternal, only the universe and the greed of men. But the universe was made of two things — the sun and the dark and everything in between.

    Summary

    Everything in her appearance exudes neglect – which only makes Alina flinch and look away. A few weeks ago, she’d thought she’d never look this way again. Aleksander had her convinced. If she closes her eyes, she can still sense his smell, the scent that screamed all yours, a promise he’d whispered to her the night of the Winter Fete before things had gone so horribly, horribly wrong. Staring at her with a breathless wonder, his scent like that of warm weather, an aromatic uplift of juniper berries, and something spicy too, rounded out with sandalwood and musk. Alpha. A perfect refreshing scent that used to make her mouth water, her legs weak with slick. She can still recall her own faint gasp when he swept her up in his arms, put her on that war table like she barely weighed a thing, the rumble of his voice against her chest – my Sun Summoner, my Omega.

    Except it had all been a lie.

    And she can feel it coming, her first heat. And there’s not a thing she can do to stop it.

    Summary

    They always taught that the sun and it’s light were only good, that they healed and shadows harmed.

    Alina knew that was wrong. The sun was not some cheap parlor trick, only meant to look pretty.

    She delights in that knowledge.

    Summary

    The Shadow Fold has endured for more than six hundred years. Now in the twenty-first century, the Darkling serves under greedy politicians as a five-star General of the Second Army. Until he can make his move towards power, until he can finally find his fabled Sun Summoner.

    Alina Starkov is just an entry-level intelligence analyst for the Ravkan First Army, watching massive screens of satellite footage for hours on end. Mostly handling documentation, cross-referencing incoming intel, outlining small skirmishes on digital maps. The minutia kind of stuff. She'd be the first to tell you that she isn't anyone special, certainly not Grisha.

    Or: A modern retelling of Shadow and Bone.

    Summary

    Ever since Alina was found by the testers at eight years old she's been told her life has one purpose: To tear down The Fold and reunite Ravka.

    Despite this Alina hasn't set foot outside the palace walls since the day she was brought to the Darkling to raise. To make matters worse she has barely seen the Darkling for more than ten minutes at a time since then, only ever really seeing him to show the progress of her training.

    So what happens when he suddenly returns in the middle of the night, five years after she last saw him, promising he's there to stay?

    Or: What if Alina was raised at the Little Palace and wasn't so easily manipulated?
