The line goes love is friendship set on fire. The thing is, Alina and Aleksander's friendship has been in flames since the very beginning.
What if young Alina was taken to the Little Palace... as Inferni?
Alina needs a big sister, the Darkling needs someone who sees right through him, and Lucy the Valiant needs to learn how to reconcile the girl and the woman inside herself. The sun can illuminate truths long forgotten.
After Alina and Mal break-up, Genya and Zoya try and get a drunk Alina to explain exactly how she feels about her best friend Sasha.
When she's lost in the rain after being abandoned by Mal on the way home from a club, Mal's uncle Aleksander shows up in his car like Alina's knight in perfectly-tailored Armani. His motives, however, are not particularly pure.
On her nineteenth birthday, up and coming sensation Alina Starkova celebrates her first Grand Slam win with her coach, tennis legend Aleksander Morozov. Modern tennis AU.
Just a little self indulgent Nik/Zoya/Genya/David modern AU story :)
Fedyor has been hoping for the Sun Summoner to be found ever since he discovered his own Grisha abilities and went to live at the Little Palace. When he'd pictured them, though, he'd never expected a slightly feral waif of a girl with a penchant for biting Ivan. Still, he can't deny she makes life more interesting.
Even former Saints can give pretty decent advice.
Spoilers for Ruin and Rising! Alina decides to tell the orphans a new, slightly darker story, but this time, she feels she has nothing to fear from the shadows.
PART 3 OF ALINA & NIKOLAI "I froze in surprise. Nikolai always got up before me and was long gone by the time I was awake. But that day, he was still next to me, fast asleep. And I have no idea what came over me in that instant, but I couldn't help it. I stared at him."
Part Two of Alina & Nikolai series :). His eyes were alight with teasing playfulness and his usual, mischievous fox-smile stayed in place. "Kotyonok," he finished for me, and I turned an even brighter shade of red. "It suits you, I think. You might want to tell Genya about your blushing, by the way."
Takes place after Siege and Storm. "Genya is laughing, her arms tight around me. 'I did it, Alina! I did it.'" Genya finds a way to recover.
Before he was the Darkling, he was just a boy. Before he denounced his name, he had a dream. Before he knew greed, he knew betrayal. Darkness never dies, but how is it born? My take on the Darkling before the series. Will serve as a prequel/companion of sorts to my other story; Doveryat'.
That's what happens when The Darkling, a misterious guy from an art class, and Aaron, his former friend from high school, ended up in the same college, taking very different classes, to combine their forcers to... start a band.
