Summary
This alternate story begins after Shadow and Bone Season 1 Episode 5. As with many of you, I was heartbroken to see the end of Darklina. Aleksander created the Fold to save Grishas and his mother. He created it accidentally when he was backed into a corner. After centuries of power, revenge, and being told the creator of the Fold was “The Black Heretic”, he became “the villain”. He could have found peace again with Alina. If Darklina was endgame, it would have made such a better story. This alternate ending is the story I hope for in the Grishaverse.

Summary
“Aleksander? I mean, Dr. Morozova.”
“Hello, Miss Starkov. Care to join me?” He points to the chair across from him, the table already covered in books, some as old as time.
“This is my table,” Alina is slightly losing her patience. Her schedule is already behind, and now Aleksander. No, 'Dr. Morozova' is causing conmotion around and of course he is using her favorite place.
“I didn’t know this had your name written on it, my apologies,” his smile is wicked. He is fooling her, and Alina knows. “Do you think there is space for two, sweetheart?”

Summary
You are not a saint. You are not a hero. You’re barely even a living person, because living people have lives that extended beyond work and their apartment. But you’re not quite nobody, either. You’re too much, and not enough, and just in the shadows with a prayer to be saved that isn't genuine and secrets that mean nothing.
They should’ve meant nothing.
Yet here you are. In more danger than usual, being threatened by Hydra without knowing why, and being assigned a security detail you don’t want by Captain America.
Bucky Barnes is good at his job. You’re not going to die.
But you might end up strangling him before Hydra gets to either of you.

“I have devoted my life to undoing the great sin of my forebearer but I’m never seen as the solution, always as a reminder of the problem. They always need someone to blame.”
“Can you tell me any more about him?” Black eyes snap to hers. “Please.”
Instead of just flirting at the fountain, Alina starts asking questions. The Darkling is forced to reassess his plans and the Sun Summoner starts forging her own...

"Obsidian is a volcanic glass...hard, brittle, and amorphous; it therefore fractures with sharp edges."2

Summary
You don’t expect to befriend your neighbor in apartment 3B.
Not the one who only speaks in dry observations and quiet glances. Not the one who watches you like he’s memorizing your escape routes.
But some people grow on you.Like stray cats. Like bad habits. Like nicknames that weren’t yours–until they were.
It starts in the laundry room.
“That’s illegal, you know.”
“So is jaywalking,” you shrug.He doesn’t ask why you never sleep. You don’t ask why he notices.
You have keys to every exit, and he has scars no one sees.
But the city is never truly quiet, and you’re both better at listening than you pretend to be.Bookmarked by AcademicMenace
