    Summary

    When Alina Starkov had set fire to the dead body of Aleksander Morozova, which has 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 of Ravka. All Saints' Day - known also 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

    She felt like a dog somedays. Tugged along on a leash by whatever higher-power there may-or-may-not be. Dragged along and thrown around like a ragdoll. A dog made to fight and thrown into the ring before her umbilical cord was even cut. Before, she had even made it fully out of the womb. Still sticky and crying as she was dragged along into the dusty ring and put up against wolves with fangs longer than her entire body and eyes that hate her so much even though the only things she's done so far was be born.

    Summary

    "We can prolong it, Nikolai," she murmured as she hovered over him, effortlessly holding the chains between her hands like they were the bridle for his horse. He felt like one at times, although one that was whipped even when he behaved well. This was the penance for surviving the war. The Darkling ensured to leave his mark on Ravka. "Pretend we’re an old married couple, if you like."

    "Go on, wife," he said, not looking away. He wanted them to play this game, and so they would. "Let’s pretend for a little while."

    Summary

    Elizaveta was gone, and the demon remained. Juris was gone, and yet she felt him stand beside her. But why hadn’t Nikolai come back to himself? They’d done everything that was expected of them—

    Except she knew, deep down, that the obisbaya required more than being pierced by the thorn wood.

    *

    With Elizaveta dead and the obisbaya stopped, why does Nikolai stand before her as his demon?

    Summary

    “You should join up with us sometime”, said who Wylan assumed was Sturmhond. His voice was smooth and deep, with a carefree intonation. “We can always use a sharpshooter aboard”

    “Really?”, Jesper asked, excited in the same way a puppy was when presented with a treat.

    “Are you forgetting how much you hate the open sea?”, Wylan asked, looking up at Jesper and raising an eyebrow. Since they came back from the ice court he had already vowed against long boat journeys.

    “I can change”, Jesper answered. “I’m extremely adaptable”

    Wylan rolled his eyes, a soft smile on his lips.

    Summary

    Five years ago, Wylan woke up on a hospital bed, with twenty years of his memory crossed out from his brain. He’d given up on trying to remember, until one evening, when he heard that inexplicably familiar voice.

    For five years, Jesper had been scouring the earth in vain for a familiar face — someone with auburn hair and blue eyes. Until tonight, when he locked eyes with a stranger.

    The only clue to their past was standing in front of them, yet they didn’t remember each other. All they knew was that they couldn’t let the other slip away again.

    or, a story about a tear in the universe, gut feelings, half-finished portraits, and how the heart also has its own muscle memory.

    Summary

    Just then, Alina feels a valiant tug, deep within her soul. Her eyes snap up, a wild and untamed glow lurking about them. What creature dares remain after her siege on this once fertile land? A fool. She does not account for impossibilities, for Aina Starkov was a girl who stopped believing in miracles a long time ago, even if she hopes for one. Alina looks up once more.

     

    Her eyes meet with that of another pair, and they are made of unflinching steel and quartz.
