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.

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.

Summary
Erwin's father dreamed of building facilities where sirens could interact safely with their clients, sheltered from the unscrupulous brothels that sought to profit from the same source of energy that sirens need to survive. Completing the project made Erwin into an international authority on merfolk relations, but this was his father's dream. Erwin's is to protect humanity from another class of mer, which feeds on death and kills so voraciously that they're to be exterminated on site without exception. It's a cause Erwin knows he believes in, but when a starving siren-reaper hybrid shows up at the Exchange with the two halves of his nature in conflict, Erwin must decide how black and white his beliefs really are. It's a decision that could risk more than Erwin's reputation. It could also destroy everything his family has worked for.

Summary
The first day of the Archaeological Symposium has been long and tiring and Erwin just needs one cup of coffee before he attempts to find his way back to his hotel.
“Just a long black, please.”
The barista drawls something in Arabic, sounding mildly irritated as he points at the menu.
“Coffee,” Erwin clarifies intelligently. He’s hot, he’s tired, he’s confused. He wants caffeine as soon as possible.

Summary
Levi comes in for his annual physical exam. When Dr. Erwin Smith introduces himself, Levi is certain he is the same doctor he had thirty years ago.
Except he went by a different name and he hasn't aged at all.
“I wouldn’t know about that,” Erwin says, a little more relaxed. “Who knows? Perhaps there is that one great love that would stand time, if given the chance.”
Levi could start believing in that.

Summary
Erwin Smith’s dragon-fighting bust is front-page news. He has several key players in custody and enough evidence to put the owner away for the rest of his unnatural life. All Erwin has to do is convince a violent, ill-tempered drake to give him a statement—preferably without killing anyone, burning Erwin’s house down or falling in love with him. But when the federal government shows up demanding that Erwin turn Levi over for immediate euthanasia, the only way to protect his witness may end up killing them both.

Summary
When Levi's drinking problem reaches critical levels he's dragged into an addiction rehabilitation center to fix his problems. However, when you use alcohol to self medicate his extreme germ phobia, sobriety can be tough. Suddenly Levi is forced to live in a world far too dirty to cope with and his decline is rapid. There's a man there though. A blonde nurse who decides to take Levi's treatment into his own hands through an unorthodox method of habituation: kissing. Levi finds himself thrown back into the world of sexual tension and attractive yearning--something he's convinced he's far too old for--all while he needs to figure out just why Erwin is putting in all that effort to help him in the first place.

Summary
Letters from World War I, exchanged in France between the tea shop owner Levi Ackerman and the soldier Erwin Smith.
Due to avoid spoilers we refrained from adding tags. Keep in mind though - it is a narration that takes place during a war. It's better to brace for the worst.

Summary
Demons were fair game, that much was common knowledge. There were no laws or rules restricting the hunting or exorcising of them, much like pests.
The Gods, however, were not to be interfered with. A tricky matter of taboo and transgression and a fear of the unknown.
But Levi’s never been prone to superstition. And with that much money on the table, how could he refuse?Bookmarked by crossingties
