Summary
There are probably awkwarder times and places to realize that you might actually be in love with the man you married than on your very-delayed honeymoon, on a ship captained by the man you were sure you'd spend the rest of your life with. Not many come to mind, when Alina thinks about it, but there must be.

Summary
Elizaveta was gone, and the demon remained. Juris was gone, and yet she felt him stand beside her. But why hadn’t Nikolai come back to himself? They’d done everything that was expected of them—
Except she knew, deep down, that the obisbaya required more than being pierced by the thorn wood.
*
With Elizaveta dead and the obisbaya stopped, why does Nikolai stand before her as his demon?

Summary
Will you kiss me now, Santángel?
And who was he to deny her? Luzia was warm from the bath, her heat spreading through her mouth, down his throat, and igniting deep in his stomach.
Undress for me.
Who was he to tell her no? Naked and raw, all of him bared to her, body and any of his damned soul he may have left. “No” was not a word he remembered how to say.
Then kiss me again.

Summary
I would have gone to the Little Palace and been spoiled and pampered. I would have dined off of golden plates, and I never would have struggled to use my power. It would have been like breathing, the way it always should have been. And in time, I would have forgotten Keramzin
In the conservatory at Tomikyana, Alina tells Mal what their story would have been if the Grisha Examiners had discovered her power. This is that tale, from the very beginning, to the bitter end.

The Silence of Your Touch by goatsandgangsters
Fandoms: The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
17 Apr 2021
Tags
Summary
Set during Ruin & Rising. After Alina first uses their connection, she wants more. Only this time, he isn’t alone. But that just makes it more fun.
Or, “How to Frustrate (in more ways than one) Someone Who Can’t Talk Back: An Exploratory Study ft. Alina Starkov”
—
In her quiet moments, she would pick it up and study it, like a rare and beautiful gem.
The sharp lines of his face. The slant of sunlight through the window. The stillness of him, the hitch in his breath, the waver on the edge of a precipice he so wanted to fall into. She had known that feeling many a time, the waiting, the wanting, the lure of it. But she hadn’t expected to see it in him.
She wanted to see it again, the catch of his breath. She wanted to know what she could do to him.

Let Yourself Relax by goatsandgangsters
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
20 Jun 2021
Tags
Summary
It was perfunctory, these indulges. A release. Like stretching sore muscles after sparring—and Zoya was a fierce combatant. This was but some requirement of the body he’d yet to fully overcome, a moment of quiet for the mind. The latter, he was loathe to admit, was its most appealing prospect—a respite, all else silenced apart from their breathing, the sounds of the body, the moans.
Or, disquietingly detached reflections about sex from a weary immortal.
