Summary
Alina was not sent to Keramzin. She was sent to an orphanage in Shu Han, where Sankta Neyar and the Disciple adopted her. Having been trained by the ancient warrior and master thief, Alina has no care for helping Grisha or becoming a sun saint. All she cares about is her doting parents, and perhaps finding a love like theirs.
But in order to secure immortality, Alina must go to Ravka and track down Morozova's stag.- Language:

What a Beautiful Monster, What a Hideous Mask by SecretlyEden

Summary
“We shall be married.” His voice was strong but without malice. She should have seen that coming.
Alina laughed. She threw her head back and laughed at the absurdity.
“It’s a perfectly reasonable request.” He echoed her words from earlier. “Rulers solidify treaties and ensure peace through marriages all the time.”
She blinked. He was right. And he was beautiful when he was like this, impassioned, sure. She hated him for it.
OR
When Alina surrenders herself to save her people and everyone she loves, she finds herself at the mercy of the Darkling. To her mounting horror she realizes he isn't at all the monster he seems. Or perhaps he's exactly what he seems, but just not to her.

Summary
alina has spent her life knowing what it's like to be hunted for being Grisha. she uses her powers to hide herself, hide other Grisha, and forms the Invisible Army. her main focus is to free the Grisha until she meets him;
the Darkling, commander of the Second Army, summoner of the shadows. alina comes into his life with a light he's never know, but also with a darkness he's all too familiar with.
or: my take on if alina knew she was Grisha her whole life and if her and the Darkling were truly equals.

Summary
Reylina’s heart slams in her throat.
She spins as she stands, turning to confront the intruder — but it’s only a man. Alone, just like she is.
He’s tall, looming over her even from a few feet away. Slender, but his dark military kefta is tailored so perfectly that even from here she can see his body is corded with lean muscle. His skin is pale — too pale for a man of the desert — and a shock of raven-dark hair falls to his chin, framing his angular face.
But his eyes are the thing that make her drag in a shocked breath. They’re dark quartz, smoky like the crystal hanging between her breasts, smoldering into her where she stands and making her stomach swoop with anticipation.
In which the destiny of Reylina Starkov, a scavenger and Omega sun summoner, becomes entwined with that of the Darkling, Alpha Emperor Kylo Ren.

Summary
It could have been anyone else. But the Volcra chose Mal.
“I’ll meet you in the meadow.”
Alina thought she’d be ready to hear those words. She knew that the moment she stepped foot on the skiff, she might as well have been signing a death contract.
She always thought the words would slip from her lips and not his. Strong, stubborn, stupid Mal was rasping out those words as he closed his eyes.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. This skiff was supposed to glide through the fold perfectly; the Volcra were supposed to be completely ignorant of their existence. But now she clutched onto Mal, feeling his life force slowly drain from him.
Or: What if Mal died during the first crossing? What if Alina claimed an amplifier without knowing?

Summary
**Previously: Moth to a Light, No Flame**
Aleksander was sure that with a pet sun summoner at his side, equipped with all 3 of Morozova's amplifiers, he'd be able to safely enter the fold and carry out his long awaited plans.
But, while the Volcra shied away at first, it wasn't long before one of them got close enough to realise the light wasn't actually harmful to them and attacked.
It's a humiliating retreat which several diplomats, his top Grisha and everyone in both Kribirsk and Novokribirsk witnessed first hand. They all quickly put 2 and 2 together and realise that if an untrained sun summoner riddled with wasting sickness was able to instinctively destroy a hoard of Volcra while injured, then she is either infinitely more powerful or their Fjerdan saint isn't what she says she is.
Now, with his reputation in ruins, Aleksander's only hope of making up for his mistake is to get Alina back on his side- this time without Morozova's amplifiers as a backup
