༶•┈┈ ♛ ┈┈•༶ "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.

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!

The only one in Ravka, the only one that had ever been in Ravka. So she prepared for the one day she would meet him knowing that she would always be so much younger & less experienced than him. Along with her brother in all but blood, Mal, they would join the First Army together both knowing eventually they would meet their soulmates along the way.

┍──༺⋆⋅☆⋅⋆༻──┑ Love. War. Death. Hate. Peace. Birth. What if Alina and Aleksander had spent the night together? What if their child held both the power of light and shadow? ┕──༺⋆⋅☆⋅⋆༻──┙ After she abandoned the Darkling in the Fold, Alina thought she could live the rest of her life in hiding with Mal. But 13 years later he finds her again and comes across a big surprise... ┍──༺⋆⋅☆⋅⋆༻──┑ This is based on the Netflix and book series and takes place after Season 1/Book 1. But it is mostly an AU story. I will not be including the Crows, because that'd just make it too confusing for me. So I'm sticking to the Grisha trilogy characters and my OCs. ┕──༺⋆⋅☆⋅⋆༻──┙ #2 Alina 2/06/21 #9 Darklina 2/06/21

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

[mature content] Reader is forced to stay with the Darkling while he fights with Alina POV from the Darkling now included. - You stared at your hands in the hexagonal room, waiting. The tips of your fingers were black. More and more black every day. It seemed to have reached into your blood, seeing the dark veins in your hands and going up your arms like dark lightning.

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?

"I will be the first man to kiss you, to bed you, whether you come willingly or not. You will be mine, and mine alone. Do you understand me?" Tom is the most dangerous man in the world. And never wanted to settle down and get married. He only ever used women. That is until he meets Aleera. The beautiful Aussie who makes his heart skip a beat. His skin heat up. He instantly gets aroused just by the thought of her. She is pure in every way possible. And he wants that pure and innocent girl to himself.

"I would never hurt you or be unkind to you." Loki persisted, suddenly in front of her. He gently cupped her face as his fingers stroked her jaw. "I would never." "Holding people hostage in their own home is unkind." She snapped. His grip tightened. "Making people fall in love you and refusing to love them back is unkind." She sucked in a sharp breath, trapped in his harsh hold. "You don't need freedom if I give you everything you need." He inspected her, eyes trailing all over her face, before he decided to let her go. "Kings and gods have bowed down to me.... what makes you think you can refuse for long?" *** | catching a case of Stockholm Syndrome | *** | reviews | "Loki was portrayed under different lights that could definitely strike up a healthy debate and I absolutely love that. You did such a fantastic job it gave me chills. This was spectacular." "I haven't actually seen writing like this before and if I had the money I would definitely adapt it and make it a film." - @just_a_muscial_weeb "OK BABES, so I laughed, I cried, I got mad, I got sad, I was glad, had hope and some trust issues through out the book. I may or may not have broken my phone screen because I threw it across the room at every plot twist. I loved this story and it definitely was different from what I'm used to which is a good thing <3." - @rose_jasmine_blossom "I just want to say that you are an amazing writer! I've been reading 'In the Dark' for so long and I've never stopped loving it, this is honestly one of the best books I've EVER read, fanfic or not! I hope you continue to write other books because all of yours are pure amazing!" - @BooksRule4ever0 "THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING! Here we have a masterpiece with good plot twists.
