Summary
Alina Starkov and Aleksander Morozova have finally found their way back to each other after he returned from dead.
Now that The Black General has become the new Regent of West Ravka, and he and Alina have been expecting twins, it would seem that things will finally start to look better in this country ravaged by constant military conflicts and the inept rule of the Lantsov dynasty.
The problem is that the young Tsar Nikolai will do everything in his power to prove that he is a better ruler than the Darkling, engaging himself in a very dangerous political marriage with the Shu-Han Princess. Meanwhile, Alina's pregnancy turns out not to be exactly what she imagined. In her quest to solve the mysteries of the past, the future queen of Ravka will inadvertently become entangled in the secrets of the Morozova family, which will – as it turns out – lead her to the mysteries of her own origin. And this all will happen while Aleksander tries to prevent a new war, knowing that the only thing that can save his homeland is when he ascends the throne in Os Alta.
But there is another problem. The Darkling has used merzost again.Series

Summary
When Alina Starkov had set fire to the dead body of Aleksander Morozova - which had been placed on the funeral pyre - she hadn't realized that this would only be the beginning of her troubles. She did not only inherit the dark powers of the Darkling, losing the ability to summon light, but she also threatened the political security of all Ravka. All Saints' Day - also known as Diedy - was approaching inexorably, and it was then that Alina was to publicly appear to her subjects. A painting found at a stall with gifts for the dead forever changed the life of the future queen of Ravka. Or rather, not the painting itself, but the caption put under it, which read: "The Starless Saint".
This story begins at the end of Season 2 of the "Shadow and Bone" TV series and presents the possible events of Season 3 from the perspective of Alina Starkov and Aleksander Morozova. The plot is based on the concept of "love warring", presented by Ben Barnes, who plays the Darkling. This fic is a canon divergence, combining the events of the series and the book canon from the "King of Scars" duology.

Summary
Kaz awoke slowly, sleep still in his mind. He didn’t sleep in often, being in charge of the barrel wasn’t a job that allowed a man to do that. And yet, Kaz could feel the sun's rays on his face, and the warmth that usually followed an hour after his morning routine. The Slat was full of its usual sounds below him, Kaz could make out Anika yelling about a spider. Strange, she had never been affected by the pests in The Slat before.
Inej is back in town, and Kaz is stupid in love with her. Lucky for him, she loves him too.

"As the fire of the sconces died out and the early light of dawn began to seep into the room, Inej felt she couldn’t leave Nina with the same stories she’d told near-strangers when they asked about her life. She needed to tell the whole truth, even if it hurt."

Summary
“You should join up with us sometime”, said who Wylan assumed was Sturmhond. His voice was smooth and deep, with a carefree intonation. “We can always use a sharpshooter aboard”
“Really?”, Jesper asked, excited in the same way a puppy was when presented with a treat.
“Are you forgetting how much you hate the open sea?”, Wylan asked, looking up at Jesper and raising an eyebrow. Since they came back from the ice court he had already vowed against long boat journeys.
“I can change”, Jesper answered. “I’m extremely adaptable”
Wylan rolled his eyes, a soft smile on his lips.

Or: that one chapter in RoW but from Wylan's POV because I thought it would be fun

Summary
"Wylan is thirty-six years old when he gets sick. He’s twenty years removed from the Ice Court when that stops being the scariest moment of his life and instead, the present day is. He’s thirty-six years old when he starts to really, truly, think about his death for the first time since he was locked in a Fjerdan cell. He’s thirty-six years old when he calls Kaz to the house to discuss his will."
In which Wylan falls seriously ill and nobody is quite sure what it is. With no treatments left other than "country air," Kaz decides to let Wylan and Jesper stay in his childhood home for a few weeks. Tons of crow bonding ensues, but Wylan's condition still worsens. As their options to help Wylan dwindle, the crows find themselves reunited by circumstances even more frightening than the ones that brought them together 20 years before.

Summary
At seven, Nikolai Lantsov knew that there was nobody more beautiful than his mother, nobody braver than his father, and no better friend than Dominik. At six, Genya Safin began proving him false, and he almost hated her for it.
Or: two children are raised together in the Grand Palace. It changes nothing. It changes everything.
A canon-compliant retelling of the Grishaverse books centred around Genya and Nikolai's relationship.
