With their head held higher by DanzaNelFuoco
Fandoms: The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo

Summary
She’s dignified. As a Saint should be.
She walks right by his side, her hands folded on her abdomen, her chin held up, her bone collar exposed for everyone to see, the golden embroidery on her black kefta almost shining of its own light.
She never smiles.
Neither does the Darkling.
(Even if he won).
You can have the Sun Summoner. You can have the Sankta Alina. You won’t have me.
We’ll see. -

Summary
Centuries after the creation of the Scorching Sea—also known as The Searing—which tore Ravka in two, rumors began to spread of a Shadow Summoner. Whispers claimed a man had massacred a group of Shu hunters who had been seeking to purchase Grisha in a brothel in Os Kervo, wielding a blade made of shadows. As the Second General and leader of the Grisha in Ravka, The Sunwrought was tasked with investigating and apprehending the mysterious Grisha. Alina Starkov, calm and poised, accepted the order without hesitation. With her most trusted Grisha by her side, she traveled discreetly across the far edge of the Scorching Sea—haunted all the while by demons with jet-black eyes.
In the cramped quarters of the captain’s ship, Nikolai paced back and forth, barely containing his agitation. His so-called mentor and first mate sat nearby, reading a book with lazy ease. Finally, the privateer stopped in his tracks and shouted, “You’re the Shadow Summoner?!”
Or
Reverse Darklina where Alina is the Second General and Aleksander is a member of Nikolai's crew.
