Summary
Zoya recognized him the moment she saw him.
She had never laid eyes on him before, and yet she knew, the instant he stood before her, that he was the second Lantsov son. He carried himself like a prince and seemed to radiate a golden light that filled the entire room. For a brief, treacherous moment, Zoya’s heart skipped a beat. He was handsome, charming, and clever—and had wrapped himself in the guise of a hero. "But he will be no different from his father or his brother; he’s a Lantsov, after all," Zoya thought.
That's how I imagine the first interactions between Zoya and Nikolai, just after Ruin and raising.

Summary
«Zoya lo reconoció en cuanto lo vio.
No lo había visto nunca, y sin embargo supo que era el segundo hijo Lantsov en cuanto lo tuvo delante. Tenía el porte de un príncipe e irradiaba un aura dorada con la que iluminaba toda la habitación. El corazón de Zoya, solo durante un breve instante de debilidad, dio un vuelco. Era apuesto, encantador e inteligente, y se había puesto a sí mismo el disfraz de héroe. "Pero no será diferente a su padre y a su hermano; es un Lantsov, al fin y al cabo", pensó Zoya.»
Así es como me imagino que habrían sido las primeras interacciones de Zoya y Nikolai, justo después de Ruina y ascenso.

Summary
She’s happy. She’s happy and he’s dead because he can see his bone resting in a bracelet on her wrist. He doesn’t get the luxury of touching her in death because she’s happy without him. He’s always been a tool. He is human and she is divine and she’s happy and he’s dead and he can’t breathe, and-
“Mal!”
He wakes up.

Summary
He took a seat next to her, and her head flopped inelegantly into the crook of his shoulder, empty glass now discarded on the floor. He wrapped his arm around her. She was warm and soft and smelled of lavender and soap. He breathed her in as if she was an expensive wine and he wanted to savor every last delicious drop.
“I think I understand you a little bit now,” she said softly. “The Shu killed everyone. They killed my kids and they killed Mal and they took the Grisha.” She hiccupped again. “Can you open a Fold in Amhrat Jen for me? Please?”

Summary
The room is pitch dark despite the early hour. He must be in a mood again. Alina sighs and summons a small sphere of light to see by.
“Good morning, Alina,” the Darkling says. It’s so strange to see his expressions on Nikolai’s face. Nikolai who would never be so still, or his gaze quite so cold and malicious. He is already dressed, not in the olive drab military uniform Nikolai favored, but in the simplest shirtsleeves and trousers he could likely find in the wardrobe. There would be no black.

Summary
"Love of mine, someday you will die
But I'll be close behind, I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark," - Death Cab for Cutie.
****
Alina Starkov is the Sun Saint, yet without her powers in the wake of the White Cathedral escape. Her Summoning has abandoned her when she needs it the most. Abandoned and forgotten by the world for who she really is, love is a fleeting thing. However, in the wilderness of the Fjerdan mountains, Nikolai Lantsov, the Too-Clever fox, offers her something she cannot resist - true understanding. Her summoning depends on her sanity. Ravka depends on her to be in fighting shape. But Nikolai needs only her.
