You Might Be King Of Half The World, But You'll Not Own Me As Well by WickedTheRedHorse

Summary
Alina was never an orphan. Discovered by examiners in Dva Stolba aged nine, she is taken from her troubled family and grows up in the Little Palace as the Darkling's protege. Alina is forever caught between the expectations of powerful men; the pressure of being a Sun Summoner, Sankta and the Black General's little pet tears her in every direction. Perhaps no surprise, then, that she grows up troubled and rebellious. With a hatred for being controlled, a fierce temper, a knack for seeing through lies, and the power of a god in the palm of her hand, Alina is hardly the pawn, saint or consort everyone seems to want her to be. She does not care; her life is her own, and she won't let anyone change that.
(or in other words, I get sick of Alina not making a single meaningful decision for herself. Imagine a Sun Summoner at full strength, politically savvy, yet determined to be a rebel without a cause)
\\\
The girl who many knew as Sankta Alina was sprawled out on her bed, dead drunk.
"Alina," His voice was sharp.
Her eyes blinked blearily, his presence seeming to sober her slightly, but not enough. "Go away,"
No one else dared speak to him with such little respect. The Darkling's eyes narrowed.

This story begins in their late S7 just-started-fucking days and continues throughout the revival. (Not gonna lie, it’s mostly smut, but I love MSR angst so there’s a fair amount here.)

Summary
Written for a prompt passed my way: Mulder is assigned to monitor Scully's computer and falls in love with her. Set in 1993 and working under the premise that Mulder and Scully met on March 6, 1993 and not March 6, 1992.
*There is some content in the story that while not graphic, might be disturbing to some. If you watch the show, I'm guessing you can handle it.

Our Lines in the Sand by GaleSentinal

Summary
In which being an orphan, a soldier, and a cartographer is more integral to Alina’s identity and she pays attention to the world around her. Meanwhile spending some 400 years in power confers certain advantages to the Darkling, but also certain blind spots. In this fight to secure a better tomorrow, both will be confronted with the same question: What are they willing to sacrifice in order to win?
A reworking of the series from the ground up, where the politics are more realistic, grisha abilities are more than just magic artillery, people aren't inexplicably stupid, the religion and history are more present, everyone has an agenda, everyone has their secrets, and imperfect people love, struggle, laugh, fight and strive for a world that they can live with.

Summary
“You might make me your wife, but I cannot love you,” Alina tells him, tone as burning as the Fjerdan frost, the words torn straight from the smoking ashes the loss of her childhood love left behind in her heart. And yet, despite all of her biting contempt, the statement still makes something twinge in her chest. Distant remains from a naïve, young mapmaker entranced with the attractive older man pulling her in like a spider into his web of lies. “I won’t. Ever.”
“Oh, Alina,” he says, a soft chuckle vibrating from his chest, his wretched, beautiful face looking at her with such belittlement that it makes her blood boil even hotter. “Little pet. Who said anything about love?”
Alina lost the war, and has to deal with the consequences

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.
(Or, Alina and The Darkling are just two people hiding their Thirst through power plays) -
