Summary
With a sinking stomach, Aleksander reaches for the lid, labelled For The Tsar, Concerning the Sankta. The seal is already prised apart. He takes a candle and hovers it over the edge, where the flickering light reflects off the gleam of a tidily folded golden kefta within.
A short note is pinned under its collar:
We have the sun summoner. Release the inmates of Poliznaya Prison Camp, or we will return her in pieces.

Summary
Alina Starkov expected to wake up on a ship sailing across the True Sea, one that would take her far from Ravka, far from the Darkling and his mad crusade. Instead, she awoke in Os Alta to a devastating truth: the war was won nearly a century ago, her first love was dead, and she remembered nothing.
Not even that, as part of her surrender, she agreed to a political marriage.

“And you are?”
“Alina Starkov, sir.” She murmured, blushing prettily under his stare.
“And what makes you special?” He asked, catching her chin within his thumb and index finger, tilting her head to look up at him.

“What will I be doing?”“You’ll work for me.” He answered vaguely, leaning down to whisper in her ear. His breath was a whisper away from the shell of her ear, Alina reached up to grasp the label of his suit jacket. To pull him closer or push him away? She didn’t know. Yes she did. “Is that something you want, Ms. Starkov?”
“Yes.” Alina sighed breathlessly, her body and mind consumed with nothing but him. “Yes, I do.”

“I am playing no game—do not presume to know my intentions, sir.”
“No? You say you wish you to be undisturbed and yet you pace in plain sight of the entire party, quite ready to be found. What do you call that if not a game?”

Summary
The orphanage in Keramzin has been denied more and more funding ever since Alina Starkova took over as Directrisa. In a last ditch effort for help, she writes to the Darkling, General Kirigan, who runs the Second Army.
When Aleksander Morozov receives her letter, he’s intrigued-- intrigued enough to make a detour to Keramzin to meet her. He immediately recognizes her symptoms of wasting sickness and tests to see what kind of Grisha she is. He isn't expecting her to be the Sun Summoner, or to find himself so immediately infatuated with her.
Fic is completed and will update Mondays and Thursdays, ~4pm PST until it’s done.

Summary
“If you’re so worried about your daughter then why are you wasting your time yelling at me instead of caring for her?”
He stills. His fists clench, just once, and she can see the muscles in his jaw working, like it is taking him every ounce of will not to unhinge it, lean across the counter, and rip out her throat with his teeth.
Then he turns, without a word, and storms out the door, the tails of his black coat flying behind him like a cloak.
Aleksander is in need of a nanny for his six-month-old daughter. As it so happens, Alina is the only person she likes. -
