A shadow snaked up my arm, a gentle caress, a brush of the night. "My name, Alina." I lifted my head. "Please, Aleksander." The darkness fell away and the nichevo'ya went still. The Grisha stopped and faced us. I barely registered Mal's horrified gaze. "Stand." My knees shook, but I pushed myself to my feet and stared into the Darkling's quartz eyes. Lifeless. Empty. Victorious. - The Darkling's forces are too great. The nichevo'ya, the Grisha, the merzost... Alina Starkov has no choice but to surrender and become the Darkling's Queen. - DARKLING X ALINA FANFIC TAKES PLACE AFTER CH 11 RUIN AND RISING (SPOILERS) I update Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays! (COMPLETED AS OF 10/6/21)

"You're lying to me," I croaked out. Aleksander didn't even flinch. The bastard knew, from the moment I wasn't in bed, that I had some idea of what he had done. Of course he wouldn't break down a door for no reason. "I don't want you worrying about it." "I'm Ravka's queen." It was more of a desperate plea than a statement of fact. "You're my wife before you're anything else," he murmured, pressing his hand to the side of my neck to lull me into the darkness of his touch, of sleep. *** Alina was safe. Aleksander was benevolent. Everything had been going perfect. But one year later, the Shu are a greater threat than ever and Alina is thrust into a dangerous pregnancy. When Aleksander refuses to give Alina the freedom she needs, old problems resurface *** DARKLING x ALINA FANFIC SEQUEL TO "MEANT TO BE MY BALANCE"

Born to both light and shadows, I'm respected but feared. I have lived many centuries and served as a general under the Darkling and Mother's reign. In a desperate attempt to flee an ambush, I unknowingly used merzost. Little did I know that I had reached for the making of the world. I am now paying the price. I am trapped in a time before my own. I go by Leksi and this is my story.

Baddie Alina and slightly better Darkling? What if Alina and stayed the night of the winter fete instead of running away? What if she had chosen the Darkling over Mal? What if the Malina ship sank fast and the Darklina ship sailed? All these characters are Leigh Bardugo's and I am just writing the story how I think it should have happened (aka DARKLINA ALL THE WAY).

When Alina and her loyal followers escaped the royal chapel in Os Alta, they left the Darkling dying buried under the ruins. Now, he sits on the throne of Ravka, ruling as undisputed Tsar, while Alina and her friends run for their lives from him and his Grisha. Alina and her group bring the battle to him, on the Fold, but their ranks are dangerously thin, nearly everyone killed in battle. Those who weren't have been taken to Os Alta to be executed, until the Darkling offers Alina a choice: Watch her friends and those she cares about be murdered, as well as her pilgrims and everything she worked for be destroyed. Or go against what she believes in to save her friends, by marrying the Darkling and being held captive for eternity to be used as his pawn. Alina sees her opportunity to use her position in the palace to overthrow overthrow the Darkling, but obstacles soon stop her plan. Will she be able to carry out her plan and kill the Darkling once and for all? I will primarily follow the books, with bits and pieces of the Netflix show adaption (mostly: Ivan and Fedyor are both still alive and happily married because I ship Fivan, the Darkling/Aleksander is occasionally referred to as General Kirigan/Black General, Baghra and Botkin didn't die in R&R, etc.). It follows canon mostly but there will be some divergence, bits I've forgotten or changed to work something in. It picks up during the battle on the Fold in ruin and rising. All characters and world belong to Leigh Bardugo. Spoilers for all the books (Shadow and Bone to Rule of Wolves). This is my first fanfic, so take it easy on me please :) also just psa I suck at english/grammar so I'm sorry if there are mistakes. enjoy :) (Cover photo art by minta.art on Instagram)

He left her standing in the field as she watched him being jetted off to space. She had not even gotten to tell him she was pregnant with his child. When he returns, married, with two children and expecting another, it breaks Kara's heart.

A post-TROS fix fic. Ben & Rey's story after Episode IX. This story contains plenty of spoilers from Episode IX, and some from the Mandalorian. These are not my characters, world, or artwork.

"I wanted to join you," Rey said, tears dripping from her face. "Then why didn't you?" Menace crept from Kylo Ren's voice as he turned to make deathly eye contact with her. "You know why!" "Enlighten me," he threatened, though it sounded like a plea. "It wasn't our time, Ben, you know that." Rey's voice shook a little. "When is our time?" Kylo's voice became lighter. "You already know the answer to that," she sniffled. *** The Force knew Rey was to be in Kylo Ren's life just as Kylo was to be in Rey's. However, both individuals prayed and hoped for very different outcomes. Rey wanted nothing more than to bring Kylo Ren back to the Light. She wanted to show him the wonders it provided and the life they could have if he returned to her. Kylo wanted to bring her to the Dark Side. He wanted to rule with his bride by his side. The Force was the only one who truly knew what the future held. *notes: -this is set after the last jedi but before the rise of skywalker. some things have been changed to better fit my story -there will be descriptions of violence, self harm and alcohol. i will not be putting warnings unless deemed necessary as i am stating here what to expect from the story -i will be editing this as i go along and because of that, some chapters might be reposted to fit the edits i made -of course, these are not my characters! if i use artwork, the artist will always be credited. -enjoy❤️ and feel free to comment your opinions! i appreciate you!! :) rankings i'm proud of: 1 in #rey - october 10, 2021 1 in #thelastjedi - october 10, 2021 1 in #reylo - november 10, 2021 1 in #kyloren - october 12, 2021 1 in #bensolo - february 14, 2022

Set after Kylo reveals to Rey the reality of her identity and addresses what could have happened if Rey would have actually taken Kylo's hand. I play with the idea of Dark Rey while also fulfilling my need for happy Reylo at times *Some mature language and smut Most impressive ranking - 11/8/2020 #9 in Star Wars
