    Summary

    “He saw her, didn’t he? That’s why he turned away.” Inej asked cautiously. Jesper shook his head warning her. Alina only turned to face their peers and joined their conversation.

    “It’s been months, Jes.” Inej turned to Jesper. “Saints! At his big age he is still acting like a kid. Why can’t he be civil and adult about it?”

    It has been months—Alina had to agree. Since then, she had been focusing on herself, figuring out that she can’t let her life be held back by ghosts. Funny, she thought, she never even knew it was ending when it did. One second, she had someone who sat with her through her fears and the next she was met with unanswered calls.

    ---
    Alina, undergraduate biology student, had a fling/situationship/casual thing with Professor Alexander Morozova. Excess baggage and past traumas ensued which ended their "thing". But life is crazy and had to conspire to bring them back together.

    Summary

    It should have been like this. The thought is unbidden, but it is right. Her first time making love should have been this hungry affair, something messy and desired that smeared between her thighs, on her lover's tongue. She comes under Aleksandr Morozov not as an accomplished sparrow, but as a girl who knows nothing of sex, a little animal ravenous to get her fill and little else.

    Or; Alina Starkova was forced to become a sparrow in order to survive. She's finally met a man she thinks she could have fallen for... the target for one of her assignments. Oh, Linka. Nothing ever goes to plan.

    Summary

    What if instead of running to Mal, Alina killed the Stag?


    ‘Stay still. You’ve lost too much blood.’

    ‘You have to kill it.’ At this point Mal knew he was begging. Begging for Alina to understand that she was more important than he ever was. That she needed to live.

    ‘Alina, please, you have to.’

    And she did.

    Summary

    Alina Starkov was given to Duke Aleksander Morozova of Os Alta in marriage when she was fifteen years old. Within a year, she was dead. The official cause of Alina's death was marked as putrid fever, but many at the time believed, and many in the future will go on to believe, that she was poisoned by her husband.

    This fic is completely inspired by The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrel, which is a work of historical fiction based on the real lives of Duchess Lucrezia d'Este (née de' Medici) and Duke Alfonso ii d'Este of Ferrara. You don't need any prior knowledge of The Marriage Portrait or history to read and enjoy this fic, but know that my writing is very much going to mimic that of O'Farrel in format and although I'm hoping to write the story in my personal usual writing style I will definitely be borrowing a lot of my descriptors, symbols, and so on and so forth from O'Farrel - there will be some of mine too though :)

    Summary

    Three women step in and raise Alina Starkov to be the equal of the Shadow Summoner.
    (Ana Kuya, Baba Yaga, and a spiteful Upyr)

    By the time she reaches adulthood she is his match. It is inevitable really that she should come to love him.

    “...and the Saint observed the light and rejoiced, and uttered ‘look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness’.”

    Features: Alina being essentially a Knight Enchantress, Slavic folklore, Mal being a side character, and lots of ominous (sexual) tension with the Darkling. They do something about it in the last chapter.

    Summary

    The news of a Sun Summoner, splendid in her abilities, had finally been found spread through East Ravka like wildfire. As did her supposed promise that she would bleed for Ravka in order to restore it to right and take down the fold. A year later, the Fold was still up and nary a single strand of hair of their Golden Saint had been seen at any of the fold crossings.

    The lack of fulfilled promises had begun the whispered disenchantment towards the Fjerdan woman, especially among the long since disillusioned common folk. Especially among the First Army, no matter their corps within it, whose living conditions as soldiers left much wanting.

    Summary

    When I was young, I was afraid of the dark. When I got older, I learned darkness was a place, and it’s full of monsters. I live in East Ravka, but I’ve never been welcome here because I look like my mother, and she looked like the enemy.

    Written Version of the Shadow and Bone TV show because Leigh Baridugo said the show was like a high-quality fanfic so it should be written like one.

    Summary

    “I can still knight you.”
    “With my head on memorial coins?”
    “That’s the idea,” she says, and he smiles at the joke, because he thinks it’s a joke and she’s just thinking… maybe. Maybe it would make sense.

    After Sturmhond, Mal comes back. They become friends again, they eat cheese, Mal builds ships, and Alina struggles with how to show gratitude.

    Summary

    **Previously: Moth to a Light, No Flame**

    Aleksander was sure that with a pet sun summoner at his side, equipped with all 3 of Morozova's amplifiers, he'd be able to safely enter the fold and carry out his long awaited plans.

    But, while the Volcra shied away at first, it wasn't long before one of them got close enough to realise the light wasn't actually harmful to them and attacked.

    It's a humiliating retreat which several diplomats, his top Grisha and everyone in both Kribirsk and Novokribirsk witnessed first hand. They all quickly put 2 and 2 together and realise that if an untrained sun summoner riddled with wasting sickness was able to instinctively destroy a hoard of Volcra while injured, then she is either infinitely more powerful or their Fjerdan saint isn't what she says she is.

    Now, with his reputation in ruins, Aleksander's only hope of making up for his mistake is to get Alina back on his side- this time without Morozova's amplifiers as a backup

    Summary

    For a moment Alina sees herself as Mal sees her: short, tired-looking, thin as a twig stuck in the mud. The girl who cried herself to sleep for months when she first came to Keramzin and who still spooks at the sound of guns.

    She looks him dead in the eye and says, “No.”

    Or: Ten years at the Keramzin estate, Ravka. Alina follows Mal into the First Army.

    Summary

    “Quando eu olho para ravka, eu vejo um país desesperado, rezando para um santo que pode invocar o sol, que o santo seria a solução para todos os problemas, de um país empobrecido pela guerra com shu-han e fierda e as festas caras do tsar.”

    Summary

    The car Mr. Morozova sends is boxy and black. She adds this to the list of first’s she’s experiencing at the behest of her new benefactor. First car ride. First pair of brand new shoes. First time speaking alone with a man. Of course they hardly exchanged five sentences from introduction to departure, but it was a first all the same.
