    Summary

    After the events of the Grishaverse, Jesper and Wylan are living together in Van Eck Manor. They have each other, what remains of the Crows, and enough of Wylan's father's money to last a lifetime. Everything should be alright.

    But as time goes on, Jesper struggles to beat his addiction and Wylan finds himself still partly in his father's clutches. Until, that is, Nina tells Jesper about a Ravkan training program that's suited to his needs. Wylan, at first, is terrified of Jesper leaving, but maybe some time apart is what it takes for the two of them to grow on their own.

    Summary

    “You were ready to die to kill me”, he said. His face was impassive, but there was something in his voice that sounded like admiration.
    “What do you want?” I wheezed. I could feel the tears streaming down again. The Darkling reached towards my face to wipe them away. It brought me satisfaction to see that his movements were almost as labored as mine.
    “What I always want”, he said softly. “To save the Grisha. To protect Ravka. You.”

    _

    At the end of Siege and Storm, Alina Starkov is captured at the Little Palace after she tries to kill the Darkling. She is alone among enemies, while her allies are scattered and her powers weakened by her battle with the Darkling. With her body and spirit beaten down, she finds comfort in the budding friendship with her jailer Natasha. With the newfound feelings she has to face an uncomfortable truth: there are good people fighting for the Darkling. How can she destroy him without destroying them?

    This is my attempt to fix everything I disliked about Ruin and Rising, and also to give Alina some much needed female friendships (and sapphic feels).

    Summary

    Something went wrong with time.
    Or perhaps it went right, too much so.

    Alina Starkov and Aleksander Morozova wake up in a past they’ve already lived, haunted by choices they can’t undo — and by a force that insists on pulling them toward each other.

    There’s something between them.
    Something that pulses, that burns, that grows every time their paths cross.
    They don’t know what it is.
    They don’t know why now.
    They only feel it.

    She hates him. He can’t forget her.
    And the more they fight against this bond, the more it consumes them.

    Because fate has a memory.
    And some stories don’t know how to end.
