    Summary

    Alina means to say how sorry she is, means to tell him how long she has been in the woods, lost and wandering with no food and tainted water, how last night she had been so sure she would die in this lonely place. But despite herself, all she can manage to garble out between bites is, “I was so hungry.”

     

    Inexplicably, tears begin to fall.

     

    The man watches her for a long moment, gaze considering, before he nods, the smile that twists upon his lips patronizing and mocking. “Of course, milaya.” He circles her, seeming to appraise her even as she continues to gorge herself on his food. “You look like you have been lost in these woods for quite some time.”

    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

    "It's done? You've cured him?”

    "When you return home you'll find your brother miraculously cured," the fae drawled.

    The relief brought tears to her eyes. "Thank you." With a heavy heart, she turned to leave.

    "Where do you think you're going, sweet?" The tone was one of amusement.

    "To see-"

    "Oh, little Alina," sighed the fae. "You promised to give me your firstborn. And for that to happen, we need to put a baby in your belly." He grinned wickedly. "Did you really think I would let someone else father my child?"

    ---

    Alina makes a bargain with a fae: her firstborn child for her brother's life. She may not have understood the particulars of this agreement.

    Summary

    When the dust settles on his coup, successful as he had known it would be - for who would dare stand against him? - a messenger from Shu Han enters, bearing a scroll from the Sol Koroleva herself.

    In tight, neat handwriting, in a version of Ravkan so old no one living aside from himself still spoke or wrote in it, is a simple line: "Congratulations, Aleksandr."

    He looks up, Shadows blooming across the throne room, alarm flooding his veins, but the messenger is already gone.
