Summary
The Darkling's tent was large and ominous and quite a distance from the cartographer’s tent, but Alina ran to it, slamming up against the oprichniki at its entrance instead of a proper stop, breath thready and voice high with exertion.
"Please," she said between great lungfuls of dusty air. "I need to see the Darkling."
"You don't belong here, Shu bint."
The urgency running through Alina's very blood coiled around itself, an anger boiling in her veins that she pushed away, willing it not to dull the momentum of her singleminded mission.
"It's about the Fold," she breathed, frustrated, muscles singing with exertion. She pulled out one of her maps from the last month out from underneath her arm, shaking it in the face of the closest oprichniki.
"It's shrinking."Two months before Mal and Alina are charted for their journey across the Fold, Alina enlists the help of the Darkling when the Fold begins to shrink. One Shadow Summoner-- and a Sun Summoner who has practiced her power every night since youth underneath thin duvets.

Summary
Aleksander is in need of a Shu translator, a smart one, to help with an intercepted cipher. Luckily he finds Alina Starkova just sitting there in Poliznaya. He feels an instant connection with the talented woman and invites her to join his oprichniki, but it turns out she is nothing like she first appeared and navigating that will be a challenge all on its own.

Summary
It was having too much time, she supposes, that made him into this.
All the time and everything he lost during that time.
She knew he never asked to be this – the terrifying creature children hide under their blankets from in the dark. It was the world that forced him to mold into it and stay that way with every single new life he took for himself. All the names he used as his own.
The world only gave him pain…
…So she would give it right back.
(What could've happened if Aleksander opened up to Alina about his past during Ruin and Rising)

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.
[A sort-of-but-not-really Stardust AU].

Summary
AU episode 5, where Alina heard what happened to Marie and Genya. She left the War Room with Aleksander. So Baghra didn't reveal the truth to her.
It was AU about 5 episode, but I couldn't stop writing. And this story became completely about all after 5 episode AU with some book's vibe.P.S. English is not my mother tongue. So sorry for the possible mistakes.
Also on Wattpad.
