Would It Be Enough (If I Could Never Give You Peace) by Jo (winterchild49)
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
02 Sep 2023

Summary
Alina leaned against the fence, the smile falling off her face. She liked to see Mal like this, to see him this happy. After all, this was what he had always wanted. A simple life on a farm with her. A child. A happy family. At first, she wanted all of that too, or rather wanted to convince herself that she wanted it. But she didn’t. She missed her old life. She missed the halls of the Little Palace and chatting with her friends until way past midnight. She missed being useful for her country and being more than a wife, staying at home, cooking, and cleaning. But mostly, she missed her powers, and every time she felt the sunlight on her skin or watched her daughter summon, her heart ached, and she could feel the gaping hole inside her where her powers once were. A part of her was afraid that she might never feel whole again.
Alina lives with Mal and their little daughter a quiet and simple life on a farm until one day, Nikolai stands in front of their door, and she finds out that someone she had believed long dead is alive.
(Inspired by the musical Love Never Dies)

Summary
It’s been ten years since Sankta Alina vanquished the Fold and defeated the Darkling; ten years since those involved decided to never speak about it again.
Somehow, a relatively unknown documentarian has managed to secure an exclusive, tell-all interview. It’s safe to say that this exposé will be the biggest release of the year—perhaps even the biggest release of the century.
Or: Alina and Aleksander are about to spill some serious tea.

Summary
"I'm not going to kill you, Mal. I don't need to. Time will do it for me"
“All right."
She did little to hide her shock. “What?”
“You can go, Alina.” She narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth but he cut her off before she could spew whatever distrustful comments she had planned. “You and the tracker can go and live out your merry little lives. Have your 50 years, maybe even 70 if you’re lucky, and when your fantasy crumbles around you, you will see that only you and I remain. You will return to my waiting arms.”
OR: The Darkling decides that letting Alina and Mal go is a better plan in the long run. He's gonna die anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Summary
“You might make me your wife, but I cannot love you,” Alina tells him, tone as burning as the Fjerdan frost, the words torn straight from the smoking ashes the loss of her childhood love left behind in her heart. And yet, despite all of her biting contempt, the statement still makes something twinge in her chest. Distant remains from a naïve, young mapmaker entranced with the attractive older man pulling her in like a spider into his web of lies. “I won’t. Ever.”
“Oh, Alina,” he says, a soft chuckle vibrating from his chest, his wretched, beautiful face looking at her with such belittlement that it makes her blood boil even hotter. “Little pet. Who said anything about love?”
Alina lost the war, and has to deal with the consequences

Summary
Aleksander has been a thorn in Alina’s side since the moment she touched down in-country, and time has not made their relationship any less hostile and antagonistic. Alina knows her credibility — knows that the head of the NCTC back in Arlington had vouched for her when her name was put in the running for the operation — but she also knows that she’s young. Knows how she looks to these men, whose egos are rivaled perhaps only by their superiors. Aleksander Kirigan is no exception.
War brings out the worst in people — and on rare occasions, the best. Alina is never sure if she's looking at the best or the worst of Aleksander, but she's looking all the same.
British SAS Officer Aleksander and Military Intelligence Analyst Alina AU.

Summary
“I’m on a pilgrimage!” Alina said. “It’s just… it’s what we do! All the eldest and most staid of my sisters have done it. We get restless, and we know it’s time to fall, so we come down here and we find the thing that completes us, whatever we lack that has left us feeling so out of sorts. A purpose. And I came down here, and everyone immediately seemed so certain of my purpose, of what I could do, and who I came here for. You all handed me the instructions on your doorstep. So I thought it would be easy!"

Alina isn't a Sun Summoner, but a fallen star. The only problem is, no one knows that fallen stars are a thing that exist - least of all the Black Heretic.

Summary
“Be careful who you give your midnights to, my darling. Midnights are for talking - for old friends and new; for truth and never for lies. When you’ve only got the stars to illuminate, everything else falls away. Midnights are for confessions.” Her hand falls to Amy’s shoulder, squeezing gently. “They’re for falling in love.”
Well that’s just ridiculous. She and Jake were definitely not falling in love.
Oh.

Summary
Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago are a Classic™ example of a theater rivalry– competing for roles as long as they can remember, striving to be Holt's favorite student actor (his favorite is Gina, but no one needs to know that).
The dynamics of Jake and Amy's rivalry start to twist when they enter high school, getting cast as romantic leads year after year. They begrudgingly put up with this— until senior year rolls around and they find out that they have to kiss on stage.

Summary
When Lux burns down, Lucifer has nowhere to go. Chloe — still coming to terms with the knowledge that Lucifer is the Devil and more than a little unsure around him — offers her couch in lieu of a hotel on impulse. Between a case that strikes too close to home, Lucifer being investigated for arson, and now having him in her space all the time, Chloe isn't sure how she's going to survive the next few days. Surely Lucifer will find a new home quickly and be out of her hair soon... right?
