Summary
Folie à deux
French: A Madness of TwoAlina can’t remember when it started. Which feels worse, somehow–because if she could point to a day, a moment, she could label it an accident. A mistake. A one time stray thought that stuck too long.
Maybe it had always been there. Somewhere deep in her cells. Genetic. Which that could very well be. Her mother loved him too after all.
So no, Alina doesn’t know when this obsession with her father—step father—started. Just that she’s always loved him.
After a text misunderstanding, Aleksander’s feelings become obvious as well.

A Little Taste of Heaven by cheddarplums
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
06 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
And Aleksander isn’t mean, per se; he likes to play with his women a little bit beforehand, but he’d never deny them what they really wanted.
He switches angles again, bending her over the sink, and demands: “Look.”
Lets Alina take in the mascara streaking her cheeks, the strawberry-flavoured gloss that his thumb has smeared down her chin, and her own glazed-over look before he makes eye contact with her through the mirror and smirks.
“My baby’s going to look at me the whole time, or she’s not going to get to come, alright?”
Or: Sasha probably shouldn’t like fucking younger women so much. If anything, he could at least try being a little nicer to them. But he can’t help himself when he sees the shine of Alina’s lip gloss on her pretty, young face.

Summary
“If you’re so worried about your daughter then why are you wasting your time yelling at me instead of caring for her?”
He stills. His fists clench, just once, and she can see the muscles in his jaw working, like it is taking him every ounce of will not to unhinge it, lean across the counter, and rip out her throat with his teeth.
Then he turns, without a word, and storms out the door, the tails of his black coat flying behind him like a cloak.
Aleksander is in need of a nanny for his six-month-old daughter. As it so happens, Alina is the only person she likes.- Language:

Summary
“Something wrong?” Nikolai calls her back, squeezing the hand he holds up by their shoulders. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
“No, it’s nothing. I’m just looking for A–the General.”
“Ahh,” he nods, like he expected that. “A bit old for you, no?”
She sputters, taken aback by his boldness. Only the royal family would dare speak of Aleksander like that. If only Nikolai knew exactly how right he was about her dear husband’s true age. “General Kirigan suits me fine, thank you.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________Aleksander's blushing bride lets her eyes stray at a party. He corrects this behavior the only way he knows how.

Summary
For all her new husband is one for dramatics, their wedding is short. Perfunctory. Performed without any real ceremony beyond the repeated words and a kiss she means to keep dry, but as he always does, Aleksander coaxes her open for him despite her better judgement. It takes all of ten minutes for Alina Starkov to disappear, Lady Alina Kirigan standing in her place. A fitting change it is to have a lie for a name to match her sham of a marriage. Aleksander stole the name and now he steals her too.
☀☀☀
When King Pytor demands the Shadow Summoner and the Sun Summoner be wed, Alina comes to terms with her new reality on her wedding night.

Summary
Fedyor has been hoping for the Sun Summoner to be found ever since he discovered his own Grisha abilities and went to live at the Little Palace. When he’d pictured them, though, he’d never expected a slightly feral waif of a girl with a penchant for biting Ivan. Still, he can’t deny she makes life more interesting.

the quality of mercy by callstolike

Summary
“I will be merciful,” His voice had assumed its usual cold precision as he walked towards them, “I will not throw the tracker to the volcra or stick my knife in his chest and torture him until he begs for the release of death. I will not force you watch him suffer as I so long to do. And I will, mercifully, ask for only one thing in return."
What Aleksander would have done the night before entering the Fold if LB had let him use that big brain of his to get what he wanted.

Alina gently urged the horse up closer to the man on the ground, praying that it was not Aleksander but still hoping that it was. If it was not Aleksander she would get him help, be the saint that people expected her to be. She chose not to examine why her prayers ran against the wishes of her heart.
