    Summary

    "You were so willing to die to stop me, Alina. Are you unwilling to live, instead?"

    *

    This fic explores the answers to three questions: What happened to Aleksander and Baghra in those years between Demon in the Wood and The Grisha Trilogy? How might the Darkling and Alina have pushed and pulled and eventually shaped each other if he had reacted to events at the Spinning Wheel differently? And, most importantly: after everything that was done to them, and everything they did to each other, what would it take for our Grisha trilogy immortals to be happy — or at least, have the potential to be?

    This is a story of familial love and loss, and other types of love, and anger, and fear. It’s a story about what it means to be alone — and what it means to be together.

    In other words: there was a feeling he knew the name for a hundred lifetimes ago, and now he has to re-learn what it means, and what it doesn't.

    (In which Aleksander gets what he wants, and it turns out to not be what he wants at all — but rather, what he needs.)

    Summary

    When the Darkling hires Sturmhond to hunt Morozova's Sea Whip, he gains an extremely unexpected sun summoner out of the bargain too. Being tailored as the prince's university fling in order to train him in secret isn't the worst thing he's endured to further the cause of Grisha, but it's certainly the most ridiculous.

    (Renamed! Was previously 'I pictured a rainbow, you held it in your hand')

    Summary

    France, 1986 - The last time Erwin was in Paris, he had it all. Youth, love, success, and his place in some of the most prestigious orchestras of the world. His cello had been his faithful companion through it all, and many said Erwin was the most talented cellist of his time. With such a bright future, it was easy to pretend everything was perfect.

    But a lot had changed in ten years.

    Now, all he had left were ghosts in his shadows, blurred memories of what used to be, and a body broken beyond repair.

    He hoped going back to where it all started would be enough to recover what he’d lost: his ability to hold a cello, to feel, to love. He’d been wrong so far. But there may be another soul just as broken as his, someone who was also wandering in search of their own missing pieces.
