"Go. Flee. Go west. Wait for the King to die. Then return with a new name. A nobleman's name. Bide your time until there's a problem only Grisha can solve. Then the King must embrace us" Aleksander had been in exile for too long, following his mother's advice, after creating the Fold. When he comes back to his shattered country alone, he portrays a new character named Captain Kiril, aiming for a different kind of power: a political one, a title. This is the story of how he chose a nobleman's name, long time before the birth of Alina Starkov. "We need to safeguard all Grisha. We need to teach them how to fight" ~Aleksander

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.

•~ in which a runaway bride made a deal with a man of shadow ~• "I'm not coming with you" "you don't really have a say in this you know?" he said as he walk toward her. lifting her chin gently, she could feel his breath as now they are standing face to face, her eyes travel down to his lip. "I've done you a favour, it's is your turn to do the same" he said kissing her. { This story was inspired by a book called "the Invisible of Addie LaRue" by VE SWACB} The story will be different just slight of inspo from the book 📖 * I only own my oc and the storyline, the rest of the character belong to Leigh bardugo some of the story will most likely different .

"Crowns topple easily. Thrones crumble like dust. Hearts cease to beat. Thorns draw blood." In a country torn into two, there should have been no room for mistakes. Especially not at the very core of the royal family. That was what she was. Yes, a Lantsov but a witch. Bloodletter. Grisha. In the darkness he longs for the country that had been his home for a great many years. A country that had branded him a heretic, a monster driven by greed, a traitor. Even in hiding, he yearns and yearns. For what, he did not know. But he soon will. A stain of red in an otherwise pristine white cloth. Either cut it out or cut yourself. ▪︎•▪︎•▪︎• The events of this book take place generations prior to Shadow and Bone. A few generations after the Fold was created. (Based on the books from the Grishaverse)

She goes into the Fold to find a way to destroy it. But what she finds there is a beautiful and broken man who will change her life, himself not remaining unchanged in the process.
