What if everything was different? DISCONTINUED.

[ON HOLD] As the years pass, Alina understands the Darkling more and more- and begins to regret killing him. When the last of the otkazat'sya summoners die, her power slowly begins to return to her. Then, she receives a message- Aleksander, her Aleksander, may not be dead after all. [POST- RUIN AND RISING]

Weeks after the darklings death Alina has become hopeful that he faked his death. She has left everyone she had once believed to love in search for the man she had fallen for and nothing will stop her. Not even death as it's a constant shadow trying to take hold of her with every step she takes. Alina will do anything to find the man she loves no matter what will happen in the end.

MAJOR ROSE SOCIETY/GRISHA TRILOGY SPOILERS . . . . What if the Darkling never died? As Adelina's power continues to grow, the Darkling finds use for Malfetto's. With Violetta unable to be there for Adelina, how far will the Darkness take her?

Forty years before there was a Sun Summoner, there was a Tidemaker who the True Sea spoke to. Tormented by tragedy, she looks to return to the rest of the world, but will the Darkling teach her how to love or how to hate? And once he's through with her, will she ever be able to love again? /So I felt like if I were to create a character to be the perfect match for Nikolai, they'd have to be something special, which is why the first chunk of this story centers on Nataliya and not our favorite king himself. / Disclaimer: I don't own anything other than the picture on the cover which I actually took and made (go me!). Additional disclaimer: most of this is unedited and near trash, not gonna lie. If you want, message me about it, and I might be able to fix up a few things or something like that. PS: I'd love to hear from you with any and all ideas/comments/constructive criticisms/ or if you just want to scream and die at the magic that is this series and want to talk! Many thanks, and happy reading!

This story is for any one unhappy with the ending of Ruin and Rising. The title is a lie... it is also a contiueation of the story that I created. I was uncontent with the way the Darkling died, that Alina and Mal "died" and that they ended up otkatsta'sya. My story changes that. And remember; DARKNESS NEVER DIES

~ A Grisha Fanfic ~ Where there is light, there will always be darkness. It has been five years since the battle on the Fold, when Alina had done what she thought was right. The only problem was that she had failed. The Darkling had survived their battle on the Fold, and was now readying his forces for yet another war. For the second time Alina will be faced with war, but this time she has no idea what is coming. She doesn't know that he's alive and coming for her. She doesn't know that darkness never dies. Meanwhile, Nikolai Lantsov sits atop the Ravkan throne, queenless. He is a patient man, but it is an impatient country. He needs his people's support and to get that he needs Alina. Though she still grieves Mal, can she move past her lost love and find sanctuary in another? Can she marry Nikolai and be happy? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain; like calls to like. ~~~ This story is in no way perfect and there may be some slightly inaccurate parts, but I promise I'm a devoted fan so you can trust that I'll work my hardest to make it acceptable. Note, I don't own any of these fabulous characters, they were all created and are owned by the amazing Leigh Bardugo! *Cover picture belongs to a very talented artist, not me

THIS IS A CLEAN FAN FICTION! IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY MATURE CONTENT! (Like Smut cause I just don't do that) Has a villain from a book ever haunted you? Have you ever thought they could be...real? No? That's the same thing Lassie Andrews thought about her favorite book. Sure, millions of girls fawned over the mysterious Darkling, even though he was the evil villain. Lassie just didn't understand. She always leaned in with Alina. When a mysterious man dressed in a dark robe that looked like it belonged in Imperial Russia shows up in her life, Lassie is forced to take a closer look at her beloved book and the characters that seemed all to real. Because this time it might not just be Alina's freedom on the line. It could be hers. **** THE REWRITE IS UP! JUST GO TO THE PART CALLED Who is my mother, really? Rewrite. IT'S THE SECOND PART! THE REST OF THE PARTS AFTER IT ARE PART OF THE REWRITE! Enjoy. -Anna

After the death of his Sun Summoner, Alina Starkov, the Darkling is forced to either give up or find an alternative. Luckily for him, he's found just the right alternative in Zeya Romanov, a young woman working in her father's tavern. Her powers are like nothing anyone has ever seen before, and the Darkling realizes she has more power than he'd thought. Zeya could be his greatest strength...or his greatest weakness.

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.
