    Summary

    The demon Dirtyhands loves making deals. But it seems this human king doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into when he signs a contract with Dirtyhands, only to renege on it. The consequences that follow were in the fine print, but now that means the king’s bastard son is Dirtyhands’ responsibility for a bit, and that doesn’t feel like a very fair trade off.

    Or,

    A Hades and Persephone type story where Kaz is Hades and Nikolai is Persephone, and Alexander III is a bitch.

    Summary

    Chapter 5:
    “Tell me why I shouldn’t kill you right now,” the Darkling says icily.

    “I’m not your enemy,” Nikolai croaks, barely able to form the words with the shadows choking him.



    The Darkling gets abducted by Shu Han. Nikolai is shocked when instead of acting instantly, the king and his council choose to debate if they should send a rescue party or not. Since they are taking too long, Nikolai decides that the rescue of the Darkling is a task for Sturmhond. (Based on a prompt by @venividivictorious on the Darkolai Discord Server.)

    Summary

    “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...


    "Every time we gaze through a window, or set foot on a sandy beach, we are interacting with material made by exploding stars that burned millions of years ago."1

     

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

    Summary

    Dr. Nikolai Lantsov has always been restless, working on too many projects and doing his best to charm everyone he meets. His company Ravka Research Labs is just getting on its feet, and though unorthodox, he’s gained the respect of his staff by regularly joining them in the lab and giving them freedom to guide the direction of research studies.

    Dr. Zoya Nazyalensky enjoys being a pathologist. She can do an incredible amount of good without making small talk or comforting patients. Since joining Ravka, she’s spearheaded exciting projects and found friends she can call her family. Though still most comfortable with a microscope, her brilliance and gift for cutting honesty have been crucial to the success of the lab. And to Nikolai.

    Then Nikolai’s father Alexander, owner and CEO of the Lantsov Corporation, suddenly passes away. In the aftermath, a scandal comes to light about Alexander, and it will be up to Nikolai’s ingenuity to save the company.

    But with Nikolai being pulled in many directions, Ravka needs someone to take over to keep the lab afloat.

    And who better than a very annoyed Dr. Nazyalensky.

    Summary

    {HIATUS}

    It’s meant to guide you. A thread so thin only the saints could tell where it went, and for as long as she could remember she could see it. She could tug on it and watch it reverberate with the echo of something to come. She would follow it, one foot in front of the other with no hesitation when it became visible. It brought her this far, and it could bring her farther. 

    A red string wrapped around her wrists and connected only once in a woven string ring around her ring finger. Only she could see where it truly ended, for it was only meant for her.

    And she would always remember the man connected at the very end.

    Summary

    Modern Au Text Fic about the grishaverse characters if they went to college.

    Ketterdam University (or KU) is a college known for being the most successful business college in all of Kerch. People from Ravka and other surrounding countries flock to the place, and the student body is the most inviting in the world. A group of six new students must learn how they fit into college life, while battling relationships, a heist, and a plot to undermine the school by dark forces.

    AKA I try to have a good plot but this is a texting fic, and Nikolai Lantsov is too loud.

    Also completely Wylan Centric cus he owns my heart. (I suck at summaries, so bear with me!)

    Summary

    Instead of Alina and Mal being saved from the whaler by Sturmhond's crew, Mal is accidentally killed by the sea whip and Alina is saved alongside Genya from the Darkling.
    They decide to return together to the Little Palace and team up to defeat the Darkling (and every small decision diverges the plot further from the original books, into a completely different outcome). They find out the villains have their reasons and are not soulless as they are thought to be, and the people that others look up to are the real villains.
    Alina is bolder than in the original series because we want the plot to go forward in a more logical way - and also the protagonist deserves a real character arc.
    Also, mind the tags. The first few chapters may seem a little darker, but then the fun begins :)

     

    Edit: just updated the last chapter! If you'd only like a glimpse at what could become of Ravka if things were different in the sense explained above, and you could use a good laugh, I highly encourage you to read at least this!

    Summary

    Indaina Slivinski doesn't exist. Her life is built up on lie after lie, fabricated stories and half-told truths.

    Lumina Morozova, however, is real. She lives a double life, spending day after day to be someone who she isn't, who doesn't exist in any record books, who doesn't exist before she set foot in the Little Palace.

    Secrets, double lives, half-told stories, just how much longer can she keep going with this?
