Summary
“I have devoted my life to undoing the great sin of my forebearer but I’m never seen as the solution, always as a reminder of the problem. They always need someone to blame.”
“Can you tell me any more about him?” Black eyes snap to hers. “Please.”
Instead of just flirting at the fountain, Alina starts asking questions. The Darkling is forced to reassess his plans and the Sun Summoner starts forging her own...
"Every time we gaze through a window, or set foot on a sandy beach, we are interacting with material made by exploding stars that burned millions of years ago."1
"Obsidian is a volcanic glass...hard, brittle, and amorphous; it therefore fractures with sharp edges."2

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.

“What’s the catch?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, you’re rich enough to bribe God, so…what happens if I want to quit? What happens if we don’t get along?”
Aleksander dabs at his lips with his napkin and sits back with a visible huff.
“Alina, listen,” he sighs, “the fact is, I’ve got way too much money and I’d like to spend some of it on you. If you want."~~
A super indulgent good-times-only Darklina sugar daddy AU.

Light and Shadows flowing in our veins by Blue_Neptune

Summary
Alina Starkov is a Sun Summoner, born with the same powers, in the same world, and with the same destiny people narrated in the fables, and stories about a mythical Grisha who wielded light in her hands. However, at the young age of eleven, Alina’s life changes drastically and she has only two options: wither away in her own misery, or change accordingly to what life brought her. In a whirlwind of events she finds herself in Ketterdam, with a new name, new friends, new life, and only one aim: don’t let anybody know of her light. But her fate seems to be intended to rectify that, when a certain man clad in black comes knocking at her door asking for a favour.
Or: I change almost everything of the Shadow and Bone trilogy and turn it into whatever I want it to be.

Alina had two simultaneous thoughts of ‘damn, he’s hot!’ and ‘oh no, douchebag incoming!’

Oh god, she was staring at him with her mouth open wasn’t she? Shit, shit, shit! Talk NOW!
A modern day alternate universe where Alina is a starving artist working as a barista with Alexei and Nikolai. The Darkling is mysteriously handsome customer who takes interest in Alina. Oh, and she lives with Mal which greatly complicates everything.
Get ready for the coffee puns!

Summary
The Darkling's tent was large and ominous and quite a distance from the cartographer’s tent, but Alina ran to it, slamming up against the oprichniki at its entrance instead of a proper stop, breath thready and voice high with exertion.
"Please," she said between great lungfuls of dusty air. "I need to see the Darkling."
"You don't belong here, Shu bint."
The urgency running through Alina's very blood coiled around itself, an anger boiling in her veins that she pushed away, willing it not to dull the momentum of her singleminded mission.
"It's about the Fold," she breathed, frustrated, muscles singing with exertion. She pulled out one of her maps from the last month out from underneath her arm, shaking it in the face of the closest oprichniki.
"It's shrinking."Two months before Mal and Alina are charted for their journey across the Fold, Alina enlists the help of the Darkling when the Fold begins to shrink. One Shadow Summoner-- and a Sun Summoner who has practiced her power every night since youth underneath thin duvets.

Summary
There is an old Ravkan saying – the willing, destiny guides them; the unwilling, destiny drags them, but no one escapes what fate has planned. It was the fate of the Sun Summoner to be born, her fate to meet the Darkling, her fate to save Ravka. How this happens, however, is up to her and the choices people make.
Alina is five years old when she first meets the Shadow Man. It changes everything.
