White and black, light and dark, ying and yang. The concept of perfect balance in two opposites created to fit perfectly together. That's not how real life works at all, though. Alina Starkov may have been the sun summoner: young, inexperienced, naive to a fault, idealistic, fierce, stubborn, loyal, a powerful woman and so very different and similar to the black General... Still, she lacked some fundamental qualities of character to even try balancing the Generals broken pieces and understand that their serrated edges were not to be pieced together in a mockery of what is long lost, nor dulled into harmlessness, nor fought with holy fire. Alina could have shone her light through the shards of his being and created prisms of light, but priorities of hers were glaringly different. I don't believe that a mistake of Alina Starkovs was what enabled my connection to him- it wasn't a mistake, it was a fundamentally unfitting personality to the needs of his soul. A soul that was starved of freedom and acceptance and companionship. A mind that sought an equal in understanding and intellectuality. If Alina couldn't shine her light through his broken glass soul then I would rearrange his shards myself to catch what the moon spared in Aleksanders starless night, matter not the threat of splinters and cuts. There were just three conditions I had: His faith, his respect and his protection. This is a fanfiction of the Grishaverse (Leigh Bardugos work, not mine) Ps: The rating for shadowandbones 14.05.2023 is 69. I'm taking that as a compliment.

What if the Darkling and Alina hadn't been interrupted that night at the winter fete? What if the Darkling had caused Alina to become pregnant with a child? What would happen to this child of legend? Would they be locked away out of fear? Or welcomed as a saint as Alina once had? Rena was left by the doorstep of an old Shu couple, someone left her there with a note saying "My deepest apologies for leaving my child here, but it was for her own good, she will find me when the time is right, her name is Rena, meaning 'peace' and 'Joy', I hope, unlike me, she will be able to find it" But when General Kirigan and his army of Grisha invade the outskirts of Shu Han, will Rena be discovered, and if so how will she survive? Story starts off in between events of shadow and bone, then slowly progress through siege and storm. __________________________________________________________________________________ *DISCLAIMER MOST OF THE CHARACTERS HERE ARE OWNED BY LEIGH BARDUGO APART FROM A FEW OF MY OWN OC THIS IS BASED ON AND HAS SPOILERS FOR THE BOOKS IN THE SHADOW AND BONE SERIES ALONG WITH THE NETFLIX SHOW* Enjoy!! __________________________________________________________________________________ Ranking achievements: #1 in Grishaverse 22/07/21 #1 in Rena 15/05/22 #1 in LeighBardugo 22/07/21 #1 in Darkling 07/01/23 #1 in RuinAndRising 20/07/22 #1 in AlinaStarkov 06/07/23 #1 in Darklina 07/01/23 #1 in ShadowAndBone 26/01/23
