    Summary

    The Darkling's hands spread as he shrugged, and his expression triggered an echo in the back of Alina's mind.

    "If you didn't need me, if you didn't want me on some level...I wouldn't be here, little saint."

    Summary

    He was a boy, desperately hiding in Shu Han, when he met her.

    A girl who was so utterly viscous, yet so strangely kind, freed him from the midst of a veritable nightmare.

    Aleksander never forgot her, not even when the merzost took with it the most humane parts of himself, in exchange for his pain.

    Summary

    “You almost drowned as a child?” Alina asks, feeling a hint of sympathy she doesn’t want to feel.

    Aleksander’s expression hardens. “No. Someone tried to kill me because they needed power and wanted to wear my bones. Someone I trusted. A mistake I shall not repeat.” He glares at her. “Get out.”

    Alina scowls. “Oh, I wish I could! Tell me how? I bet you don’t know. I bet something like this has never happened before.”

    His angry expression tells her she’s right.



    When Alina and Aleksander fight in the tether, Alina somehow falls into Aleksander's memories. (Written for Whumptober Day 3: "Make it stop")

    Summary

    It hadn't even been a fortnight since the coronation when the headaches began. They were mild at first, and when she was busy enough - which was the case most of the time - Alina didn’t even take note of the pain in her head. But soon, the pain grew so much that it became impossible to ignore it, and the headaches started to torment her and wake her up. The pain was like hot daggers, and made her cry the first time. She didn't think much of it though. She did finally go to see a healer who couldn't find anything but told her that it might very well be caused by psychological distress, and Alina gladly accepted that explanation. It was plausible after all, considering her duties as queen and leader of the Second Army and the bloody war with Fjerda.

    Alina used merzost to revive Mal and has to pay a high price.

    Summary

    Aleksander Morozov has been trying for hundreds of years to undo what he's done to Ravka by creating the Fold.

    Alina Starkova has been hearing voices for years, begging for her to save them.

    The Mother of Saints is dead, or never existed - everyone believes this, everyone except for Aleksander Morozov and Baghra Morozova. They alone know that Aleksander's actions that tore Ravka in two also destroyed her. But Aleksander may be finally being given a chance to atone, in the form of a deceptively strong "mortal girl" - if he's willing to, and if his bitter mother doesn't stop his plans.

    Summary

    Alina finds herself in Morozova's cave, trying to find out more about the Firebird, before taking The Darkling on in a final battle. Meanwhile, the Darkling, infuriated with Alina's attempt at seducing him to sever their connection, finds her in his visions - to exact revenge.

    TL;DR: A smutty reindition of the cave scene in Shadow and Bone (TV) series season 2, episode 6 - Ni Weh Sesh (I Have No Heart) - where The Darkling attacks Alina.

    Summary

    She wakes with a gasp, panting heavily, and looks around. She is still in the bed, in the darkness of the night. He is not here. "It isn't real," he'd said. Had that been a dream? She still feels the kiss he has left her with, and doubt sinks sharp claws into her soul. It wasn't real, she muses. It couldn't have been.

    Or two drabbles and a oneshot inspired by "In For The Kill" by LaRoux

    Summary

    "Blood or amplifier, it's all about connection," Baghra said before looking at Alina. “Run." She shoved her son away and pushed Alina to the side.
    Alina stumbled and froze as she watched the Darkling vanish and Baghra’s body still. “No,” she cried out. He will kill her, she thought horrified. Not taking note of Morozova’s legacy bursting into flames around her and without thinking about what she was doing, she closed her eyes and followed them.

    When Baghra goes to Aleksander using the tether to kill him, Alina doesn't run but follows them.
