Summary
“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."~~

Summary
The shadow made her an offer: stay in the castle with him, and the regiment would survive the harsh winter that had trapped them all in the ice-sheeted valley below.
Alina paused. When the monster spoke, he seemed to gather himself together a bit more, pulling a simulacrum of a man out of the smoky gloom so subtly that it almost seemed like a trick of the light—shadows playing on shadows.
“How do I know you’ll keep your word?”
It was dizzying to look at the monster, especially as the wind whipped her lantern flame and cast flickering shadows throughout the room; he—Alina was fairly sure it was a he—seemed to be made of darkness itself, a shifting mass of smoke that coalesced rather than dissipated.
“I have no reason to lie,” he said, his voice crackling like flames in a hearth.
Alina furrowed her brow. “You have plenty of reasons to lie. What could you possibly want from me?”
She must have been mad from hunger, because she swore the monster looked flustered, inasmuch as featureless smoke could look like anything.~~~

Summary
Rey is a black widow. Ben is her new husband. Things aren't quite going to plan.
~
Being the perfect trophy wife is hard work; it’s a lot of long hours, cramped shoulders, and burns from the oven. There’s nothing wrong with any of it, of course; in fact, Rey relishes in the ability to control her environment so precisely. She wants nothing more than to be kept safe and secure, and she’s happy to provide for the man who puts a ring on her finger and vows to cherish her until death do them part. It’s not her fault that the men can’t ever seem to hold up their end of the bargain.
~Now complete.
