Summary
Alina almost misses it — she’s not really one to watch solo play — but even just a glance at the familiar black lines on the man’s sunburnt skin triggers wheat-golden memories of the farm house, the white frosting sweetness of her birthday parties, the char of weekend barbeques, and the pungent smell of cattle.
She’d recognize them anywhere: the tattoo that she grew up admiring, the hand she grew up holding.
Is that — she thinks, horrified — Uncle Sasha?

Summary
He chooses his words carefully, lets them roll across his tongue, but his mouth still twists, "When you were... intimate did he rush in like young men are to do, or did he make you wet?"
"I—"
"Answer me."
"No," she whispers, "I don't even know if I could."
"Oh, Alinochka," he says under his breath, patronizing and delighted. A flustered heat rose to her cheeks. She tries to hide her face in his neck when he continues, "you're leaving a wet spot right now, malyshka."

Summary
“I’ll give you $50 if you take your top off, how about that?”
The boys laugh, Aleksander’s little minions always following his lead.
“$100” she replies, eyes on him.
Silence, like they can’t believe she’d agree.
“Deal.” A cold dark smile on his lips.

Or: Frat boy Aleksander thinks everything in life can be bought with money and charm. Alina would like to disagree but money is money after all.

Summary
"Miss Starkov, are you aware of how distracting you are in my class?"
My lips parted open, frozen as he turned around, bracing himself against the edge of his desk and leaning back slightly. His quartz eyes glimmered as he evaluated every inch of me in a painfully obvious manner, as if he were reading me like I was words on a page. I forced myself to speak. "I-I'm so sorry I came in late, but I have perfect attendance sir, this has never happened before and I'm a very dedicated student," I stumbled over my words frantically, my throat painfully tight in fear. He laughed, a dry, raspy chuckle that shut me up almost immediately. "That's not what I was referring to, Alina," he hummed, the sound of my name rolling off his tongue sending goosebumps down my arms. It was almost... seductive.

Summary
His frown deepened and Alina thought she saw something she had never seen before on him bloom in his eyes – fear. “Milaya - Alina, what is the last thing you remember?”
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. “Crossing the Fjerdan border and making camp.”
“Why were you crossing the Fjerdan border, Alina?” Aleksander asked, and even Alina could not deny the dread she could hear creep into his voice.
“To –” she paused. “To find the stag. Morozova’s stag.”
She caught a flicker of grief in Aleksander’s face before it froze over. “Alina…that was…that was fifty years ago.”

Summary
“Now, Alina,” the Darkling murmurs low, tone dipping to one of pure sin that makes her insides tighten longingly, “Won’t you let me see how sweet you look when you come?”
Set somewhere during Siege & Storm, while Alina resides at the Little Palace. The Darkling interrupts his Sun Summoner in his bed, during a rather intimate moment. Alina learns there isn't much moral high ground left once she came with his name on her lips.

Summary
Alina Starkov felt like she had lost everything that day on the fold: her first love, killed by her own need for power. When she awakens in a room in the Grand Palace, she realizes her new life might be a bit more to deal with than she had expected. And then, there he was: not dead. The Darkling.
All Alina knew was that she didn't want to be alone, and she had never asked to be queen.
Post Ruin and Rising AU where Mal dies on the fold, Alina retains her powers, and the Darkling survives.

Summary
“Don’t say her name. You killed her,” he hisses, fingers closing around her neck, even as his thumb caresses the curve of her throat, even as his fingers intertwine with the fall of hair that lies at her nape. “She died for you.”
“She died because of you,” Alina snarls, even as she leans into his touch, even as she hates herself for it. “We both killed her.”
He gives a growl of rage and surges toward her. For a moment, the rage in Alina’s heart gives way to fear, to relief, to desire. He’s going to kill me.
But then he is kissing her, lips crashing against hers like flint on steel, and isn’t that the same thing?
---- Alina does not resist the pull of their tether. The Darkling welcomes her in his own way.
