Darkness never dies...
After the destruction of the shadow fold, a new terror emerged. As if darkness and death had bled into the very soil, the area where the fold had been became a large stretch of barren land where nothing could grow or live. Death spread to anything that touched the soil.
The Lantsov line's rule was marked by great cooperation between the first and second armies in an attempt to conquer their new common enemy. But centuries have since passed and the Grisha have once again become objects of horror to be hunted down and either killed or made mindless slaves...
All seemed lost until in a experiment gone horribly wrong made something miraculous happened.
Ayla is thrown into an exciting, often cruel world where she has to navigate shifting alliances, grand adventure and her own confusing feelings for a dark figure who toys with her heart like he can play with his shadows.
She is more than just a girl
She is the soil summoner.
............................
"What, you thought I was the black sky so you could be the star ?" His voice carried so much bitterness
I met his gaze with equal anger and refused to look away.
He gently put his hand in the nape of my neck before roughly pulling me closer. He lent closer "I'll swallow you whole." his dark voice whispered
"I hate you." I hissed meeting those agonizing quartz eyes again.
"Then hate me." he said before kissing me passionately.
At first I wanted to pull away. With a shock I realised I was kissing him back, viciously biting at his lower lip.

.... I'm a serious stan of the Darkling, just by the way. Be prepared for glorious amounts of Darkling angst and fluff.

The Shadow Crow (A Shadow and Bone: Season 2 Fanfiction)
A few days after Alina and I escaped the clutches of my brother, the former Ravkan general of the Second Army, Aleksander Kirigan, we parted ways. I went with Kaz Brekker and his gang of thieves, affectionately nicknamed the Crows, back to Ketterdam, while Alina Starkov and her friend, Mal Oretsev, left for other lands beyond the walls of Os Alta. In Ketterdam, I made a name for myself, aiding Kaz and the Crows in all manner of criminal behaviour, forgetting that I was ever the younger sister of the Black Heretic. But I've lost everything I've ever known. I don't know where my mother or my dear friend Genya is - sometimes, this new life is unfamiliar and uncomfortable, especially within the tight, damp spaces of Ketterdam, this sprawling criminal town that seems so big and yet so small. Or within the base of the Crows that I sometimes call home - or the feelings that I seem to feel for Kaz Brekker. Kaz and I still don't understand each other, and I don't think we ever will. Alina and Mal set off across the sea, and from what I heard, they were going in search of the second of Morozova's creatures, the Firebird. Alina hopes that with the help of the Firebird and the Stag as Grisha amplifiers, that she might be able to take down the Shadow Fold for good. I know that my brother, Aleksander Kirigan, did not die that day in the Fold, and that one day he would come to exact his vengeance upon his lost Sun Summoner and all of Ravka. As Kaz prepares to unleash fresh hell on old foes, and as Alina prepares to hopefully end the terror of the Darkling once and for all, I myself am preparing for a war on both sides. A war to protect my newfound friends and family, the Crows, and a war to protect my people, the Grisha.Complete
The Moon Summoner (The Darkling x Reader)
You're used to it all, the shadows, the bloodshed, the screams, you're always by his side after all. They call him The Darkling, but that's not who he is to you. To you he's everything, you worship even the ground he walks on. He calls and you answer. He orders and you obey. The only use you make of your ability to summon the moon is when he says so. To yourself, your ability is useless but still, he keeps you by his side in case you're needed, and you're almost never needed. After all, how can the moon ever compete with the brightness of the sun? Disclaimer! This book is based on the shadow and bone season 1 series that I watched on Netflix and I haven't read the books so this one will be different. It's only based on the characters and casts in the series and they aren't mine.Complete

And to the Darkling. {You shall master your powers and once you are ready, Valkyrja NΓΈrgaard, perhaps we might even change the world.} *** "[...] Plus, black is your colour. Even I know that. Everyone knows that." β"Yes, you're right, black is my colour." the Darkling spoke while he sent me one of his dazzling looks. "But it doesn't have to be mine alone." *** A soft, scolding chuckle left Baghra's lips. "You're scared aren't you?" she asked me. "Becoming just like him scares you? Power corrupts people, girl. Tell me, don't you keep wanting for more when he amplifies you?" *** {The Darkling x OC} 21/06/2021 & 03/09/2025 - π₯ in #ShadowandBone (03.05.2021 - ??)

Meant to Be My Balance
A shadow snaked up my arm, a gentle caress, a brush of the night. "My name, Alina." I lifted my head. "Please, Aleksander." The darkness fell away and the nichevo'ya went still. The Grisha stopped and faced us. I barely registered Mal's horrified gaze. "Stand." My knees shook, but I pushed myself to my feet and stared into the Darkling's quartz eyes. Lifeless. Empty. Victorious. - The Darkling's forces are too great. The nichevo'ya, the Grisha, the merzost... Alina Starkov has no choice but to surrender and become the Darkling's Queen. - DARKLING X ALINA FANFIC TAKES PLACE AFTER CH 11 RUIN AND RISING (SPOILERS) I update Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays!

"I will take her to her room." Evangeline said to the guards. The younger Grisha paused and gave a look at the guards. "Please. I insist." "A-alright." "I know what it's like. Coming to a new home. Not knowing what to expect or what to do. And I know the General can be scary. But he just wants the best for this country. Do think about helping him." Eva told Alina while they walked to her room. By the time they stopped, Alina had looked at the woman and thanked her for walking her. She then went into her new room. Eva truly believed her husband had a good heart. But sadly, she had no idea what he was planing. -~β’π₯β’~- In which the Darkling has one weakness. The love of his life, Evangeline. But his drive for power overshadowed it, and she found a new love.

Repeated abuse will do things to a person, and Wysteria Kirigan is no exception. Battling with the memories of her past whilst trying to keep herself sane presents its difficulties, especially when you have so few good memories to snuff out the overwhelming number of bad ones.

[Kaz Brekker x fem!OC] #1 in kazbrekker [06/05/23] (WILD ... thank you all sm xx) WARNING : There is some strong language, reference to sexual themes, verbal abuse, and physical abuse.

Sea Shadow (General Kirigan & Nikolai Lantsov)
Ivan, one of the most loyal and trusted wards from the General Kirigan also known as Darkling, walked through the corridors of the Little Palace searching for the General. "General"he said entering the room where he was looking through a map"We found her" The General couldn't help but to put his head up with surprise. "Where?"he asked impaciente. "In the woods, in a camp of Fjerdans" he answered. "Why is she there?" he asked, confused. "We don't know, but one of our trackers was in the woods and saw the camp with the girl bound hand and foot with chains" he explained while they were walking to get prepared. The girl that they were talking about was a girl with long brown hair and natural waves, gray eyes, flat nose and freckles called Kaida Deveraux, and why? Well, she has been searching and seizure in Ravka for almost three years for killing almost 30 people, but, why this interest of General Kirigan in her, the thing is that the bodies were found with their eyes out, they took them off them self and when they asked to the people around the place they told them that a purple wave ran out of a girl and then they started to scream. In the whole history it hasn't been a Grisha with that kind of power, but what if that wasn't her only power. Based on the Shadow and Bone trilogy. It's my first time publishing a story in English, I hope I don't have many mistakes and if I have them I'm sorry. All rights reserved. The story does not belong to me, it belongs to the wonderful Leigh Bardugo. It only belongs to me Kaida and her past plus some characters I've added. I hope you enjoy it very much.
