The Darkling, as usual, was in a terrible mood.

Shadow and bone, but with Alina actually picking the right guy, and no, I'm not talking about Nikolai. Situated after reading the shadow and bone series (spoilers for the darklings real name) Warning for smut? I guess

An expansion of the time Alina spent on Nikolai's ship in Siege & Storm, featuring a sexual encounter between the Darkling and Alina. Please be warned that this story features dubious consent. Alina is not very excited about what happens between them. I have an idea for a continuation of this, just another chapter, but no promise that it'll get written!

I looked into Mal's eyes-his familiar blue eyes that I knew even better than my own. Except they weren't blue. In the dying lamplight, they glimmered quartz gray. He smiled then, a cold, clever smile like none I'd ever seen on his lips. "I missed you too, Alina." Instead of responding with fear, Alina responds with anger. A different take on the scene where the Darkling comes to her. *warning for adult content!

At the end of Ruin & Rising, Alina agrees to cooperate with the Darkling in order to keep her friends alive. A year has since passed. Slowly, she comes to realize her true potential, and slowly, she starts to understand him. What would happen if she were to take the throne by his side? (SMUT)

Alina Starkov expected to wake up on a ship sailing across the True Sea, one that would take her far from Ravka, far from the Darkling and his mad crusade. Instead, she awoke in Os Alta to a devastating truth: the war was won nearly a century ago, her first love was dead, and she remembered nothing. Not even that, as part of her surrender, she agreed to a political marriage.

A childhood friend. A war. A soul of sunlight. All of them are lost. As Alina is sinking in grief, her friends are trying to stay united, making plans of dethroning the Darkling, who now rules Ravka. The sun summoner has to resist giving into the shadow summoner's will, but how long will she be able to put on a show, as her feelings are starting to fade into numbness? And how easy can it be to kill the one who's standing beside you on a throne, when power has never felt so good? Alina may find out the answer when shadows have already taken over her heart. (Basically Mal dies, Alina turns dark and lives with the Darkling at the Grand Palace. Her friends are trying to kill him. Enjoy :) ◆The grisha world and characters were created by Leigh Bardugo. ◆Cover art by me

༶•┈┈ ♛ ┈┈•༶ "You really want me to shy away like I used to? Like your little mouse?" I pierce him with every word. The Darkling stares back and for a while the only thing that moves in the room are the shadows. "Alina, you misunderstand me. I have waited centuries for someone like you. Centuries, Alina, alone. I do not need to answer your question. You know what I want." Please don't say it, I think. "I want you to be my Queen, Alina." He pushes off from his chair and I shiver in my seat as he pauses by my side. The Darkling's hands find my chin and he holds my head tenderly with both hands. My power sparks at his touch like fire to kindling and I have to clench a hand in my dress skirt to keep control. He makes sure my gaze is entirely on him when he says, "And you know you will." I shake underneath the pressure of his words and he strokes my chin to calm me. Fine, but he has no idea what he is asking for. I shall be a queen, but not his. And he will regret the day he forced me back at his side like a dog. Aleksander, I think, bow. ༶•┈┈ ♛ ┈┈•༶ It starts with burst of light, like it did in the beginning. Every time a Sun Summoner dies, there is a burst of light. With every flashing death, Alina can feel a strong hum of power return to her. Fearing the loss of her new life, she sets out on a mission to the Little Palace with hopes her old friends could help her. Little does Alina know, a familiar shadow sits on the throne of Grisha. As a whirlwind of events sets her right back on square one, Alina makes a vital decision to change everything. Still, she finds herself teetering in the edge of letting the Darkling and her powers swallow her up. The Sun Summoner has grown and she can no longer be a saint. She has to be a queen. ༶•┈┈ ♛ ┈┈•༶ This is a Grisha trilogy fanfiction that takes place after Ruin and Rising. All rights belong to Leigh Bardugo. VERY SLOW BURN Darklina!

What if the darkling had won? What if the fold was destroyed, and Alina did claim the third amplifier? What if Mal came back to life? Though more sun summoners rose to fight with Alina, victory was not secured. Yes, they destroyed the fold, but they were still not enough to kill the darkling. After all, no one can deny the throne suits him well..... and that Darkness Will Always Triumph 🌓( this is an alternative ending to Ruin and Rising )🌗 (started before King of Stars)

"I'm like your little pet," I said once, when they wouldn't stop glancing at me. "Have you fed me? Have you watered me? I bet they wonder." There was darkness in his voice when he responded, and it rushed through his fingers and into mine as our hands brushed together. "Not for long, Alina." He dipped his head down to my ear, dipped his volume to match. "That I can promise." »»-----　♔　-----«« The winter after the Darkling is defeated, Alina and Mal decide to stay in a cabin before officially settling down. After a fight, Alina is left to live alone.
