    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.

    Summary

    Alina forgets, for a moment, that she is here to practice her summoning. She forgets that the Darkling is the reason Ravka suffers. She forgets that she must save it from him.I have never turned away.The softly whispered words echo in her mind, and unbidden, the memory of the night of the Fete rises in her mind. She sees herself commanding the room, glowing in the darkness he's created. Everyone else bends the knee, some crossing themselves, others averting their gaze. He alone stands, regarding her with silent reverence, adoration.

    Summary

    "After all this time?" she asks him, her gaze searching his. He hasn't aged a day since last she saw him; neither has she. Kingdoms have risen and fallen, wars have been lost and wars have been won. And yet, when time passes and change comes, they are still here. 'There are no others like us,' he had told her once. 'Know there never will be.'

     

    She sees the truth of those words, now. After everything.

     

    Or. . .another fix-it exploring what would happen if a very particular person had made a very different choice in the beginnings of Season 2?

    Summary

    {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

    I felt the nerves increase as we got closer. Or maybe it was just the connection, it’s frayed edges com. We pulled around the corner and there he was.

    Aleksander. Standing there in his black kefta, my breath caught at the sight of him. He hadn't aged a day, his face still stern and expressionless.

    "I told you you'd come back."

    55 years since she left Aleksander, 130 years since she destroyed the Fold, Alina returns to Ravka. Aleksander uses the opportunity to talk to her.

    {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

    "You came back."

    "Not for long. How did you know I was here?"

    "I saw you." Of course he had. I thought I had seen him in the shadows of a room, but I had dismissed the thought. I shouldn't have done that.

    Summary

    When he comes for her again, Alina’s first instinct is to fight and rage. But there’s that little voice inside her mind that says: don’t. She knows the voice belongs to a part of her that she tried to bury after what happened in the fold. A part she tried to keep a secret. A part of her that still feels something for him. The Darkling. Aleksander.

    And when she feels the pull inside her chest, when she realizes they are connected in some way, she doesn’t pull in the other direction. Instead, she closes her eyes and gives in.


    Or: Instead of fighting their connection, Alina tries to use it to talk some sense into Aleksander. Because a part of her still feels something for him. And that part doesn't want to stop hoping for a different ending to their story.

    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

    He lowers his forehead to hers, their noses brushing. Her eyes flutter closed at his touch, and it steals the breath from her lungs. She shivers a little at the soft caress of his thumb along her cheek, and her heart skips a beat. His heart hammers steadily beneath her palm, and her lips curve in a soft smile to find both their hearts beating as one.

     

    "Is there such a thing as heaven, my Little Saint?" he whispers into her hair.

     

    A fix-it fic different turn on the fight in the Fold in 1x07.
