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

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
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?

Summary
The more time Alina spends in The Little Palace, the more she dreams about 'Him'. The Darkling. And the dreams are not so innocent since Maria and Nadia said he keeps looking at her. But since they're just dreams, and he's no way to know, she may as well indulge. It's not like he'd ever be interested in her that way. And the fact the dreams about 'Him' are different to every other dream she's ever had, that they feel like they're actually happening, well, that must just be because she's just discovered her abilities and everything is different now. That must be it. Dreams can't be real. Or can they?

Summary
After accidentally using Merzost, Alina and Aleksander find themselves waking up in each other’s bodies. Reluctantly, they discover that the only way to swap back involves merging their energy in delightfully depraved ways.
“And how do you propose we swap back?” Alina reaches out to prod a finger against his chest, shadows creeping towards them in her irritation. “This is your fault.”
“Alina,” he begins, reaching up to stop the incessant jabbing, unthinkingly brushing away the darkness with a flicker of light. “I hardly think I’m the sole—”
The Darkling cuts off at the sudden, jarring, change in perspective. No longer is he staring up into his own face but staring down at Alina’s instead. It lasts a moment before he’s thrown back into Alina’s body.
